The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 354: A serpent visited the wrong castle.

It was precisely five minutes past two in the night when a threat slithered up the walls of the royal castle. It was not the average small sized non poisonous snakes that had been found in various parts of the city--this was a giant snake, Anita, the eighty foot-long snake queen, blessed with deadly venom, pupils that could control the minds of men and a thirst for blood.

She had already enchanted all the knights that guarded the royal castle. They seemed blind--none noticing the giant snake slithering past them. Her single hiss had sent many of them into a faint.

Watching her make her entry into the castle through an open kitchen window, the mages that were determined to taken her down stood in the shadows, under a tree outside.

Sigrid, as usual was leading the team. Mauve, Christie, Elowin, John Nathaniel, Alistair and the Lord mage had joined her. This time, they were accompanied by a new addition, the queen consort.

Hiding in the walls, inside the castle, the non-mage team was waiting. It was led by Cosmos, who was actually a mage. But, Sigrid had tasked him, Brolin and other white knights to protect her family, especially her mother that was determined to take Anita’s head personally.

As the shadow moved, so did they, trailing after the snake, moving like quiet mice that were too afraid to make a single noise.

Sigrid’s worry was that their hearts were beating a little too loudly. But who could blame them when they had never seen a serpent this big!

Anita enchanted the knights standing outside of the doors to Roland’s chambers. She changed from snake form to half human and half snake and opened the door.

John was so shocked that he opened his mouth to question what the half snake-half woman thing was. With swiftness, Elowin covered John’s mouth. And he was just in time because Anita returned, suddenly on guard.

Her slitted eyes looked around the hallway suspiciously. Her forked tongue danced in the air, like it was sniffing for foreign scents.

The mages kept still, some not even daring to breathe.
