Chapter 297: If it’s life, it’s full of surprises.

"What could’ve happened? She turned from once the most beautiful angel to a broken close hearted siren," Cleopatra said.

Queen Elizabeth took after her husband and became the only ruling queen of the world who didn’t let her husband’s family members take away her husband’s throne. No one could dare oppose her idea.

Though Callus had assured her that his family didn’t have anything to do with the attack, how could she believe it after what she was seeing was happening in the kingdom?

They never dared to object to her directly. They were afraid of her powers, but it doesn’t mean they never tried to use underhanded means to trick her.

At that time, she was pregnant too but, on that day, she lost her baby too. She lost everything, her family, her baby, her husband, and her clan.

The entire clan sacrificed themselves for one reason - to protect the secret of their clan. To protect the hidden talent and technique to bring back the dead to life.

Queen Elizabeth and five of her loyal people were the only ones who knew that she didn’t need a book to perform those spells. Her powers were refined enough for that.

Everyone thought that they lost their powers, and stayed silent for years. Among the people who died that day, Elizabeth sacrificed the most by sacrificing her heart and not using her powers to bring her husband, baby, or family back.

She could’ve done that, but she knew if she did, people would come after her and her husband once again. As one of the only beholders of divine energy and having mastered all magical realms, it was her duty to pass the powers to a deserving one.

Everything stayed silent for so many years for outsiders, but the people in the palace were conspiring against her. They didn’t leave any opportunity to test Lady Elizabeth. Time after time, they would bring a person with the most pitiful condition and death to see if she would use her hidden powers, but she didn’t.

Many years passed, and when the royals stopped trying their tricks with her, Elizabeth started relaxing too. One day someone sedated her food, and that night, she roamed into neither regions of the palaces and water.

She had ventured to the island all alone, unaware of the fact that someone was following her, and that night she brought a baby elephant back to life when she saw its mother wailing and crying for help.

Elizabeth did it all in an intoxicated state, and just like that, her years of secret hiding and sacrifices nulled that day as the royal spy saw it happening with his eyes.

Soon the word was already among the top aristocrats, and they started conspiring against her once again.

Since Elizabeth neither had a child nor a disciple, it was obvious her powers would have to be passed to someone in the royal Kingdom only. That’s why everyone started doing their thing.

She didn’t remember what happened that night, but seeing everyone’s extremely good nature she was definitely suspicious.

It was minute. The poison in her food and drinks. Probably one drop daily, and till Elizabeth finally realized what was happening, it was too late.

Everyone was surprised when she suddenly left the regional waters and went to the lands. She went to different lands, and though Elizabeth said she was just venturing and trying to find solace for her loneliness, everyone knew something was wrong with it.

Everyone had their doubts, but never in their wildest dreams had they thought that she was actually finding ways to transfer her energies to someone else, someone who didn’t even belong to her species.

She was wronged by every clan in her own species.

A true sufferer.

That was why, she thought she would be damned if she let those evil people have her powers. She could bring the dead to life, but there was no solution to cure her terminal illness which was etched deep in her bones because of the years of poisoning.

Maybe Elizabeth wanted it too.

She finally wanted some solace. She accepted her death with open arms. It was probably her time in her mind, the time to reconcile with her family that she lost 12 years back.

She didn’t even die in the regional waters. She died with witches.

Witches have always been their mortal competitors. It was already a shame that the queen of sirens would rather die in a place that wasn’t even hers rather than die between the people who were hers, but then everyone heard she took the help of the most powerful witches to hide her powers.

The logic was simple. To keep those powers hidden until she is reborn and old enough to get those powers back from the person. No one knows if the Queen has been reborn or not, that was why they wanted to find that human first.

"But were they ever hers? Didn’t they all conspire against her? Who was with her when she was dying? Who was with her when they were poisoning her? Did she have anyone who she could call hers?" Hera asked, and Cleopatra smiled.

Cleopatra looked at Hera with a sigh.

"Maybe not. That’s why she chose that path, didn’t she?" Cleopatra sat on her seat.

"What about those five loyal people with her?" Marianna asked.

"Those five people? They are still looking for their queen’s hidden energies so they can restore her glory and bring the powers back to the people they belonged to. The divine energy clan wasn’t swiped clean. There were survivors, and naturally, those energies belonged to them. They were sure the queen would’ve wanted it too," Cleopatra said.

Artemis looked at their leader and narrowed his brows.

Their clan wasn’t exactly an ancestral clan. It was formed by Cleopatra. She took some rogue sirens who were abandoned by their clans or just roaming with no purpose.

Could it be that the reason she is so adamant about finding that human with the siren energies locked inside them is because she is one of those five loyal people who have taken it upon themselves to establish the glory of Queen Elizabeth once again?

"If they were the five loyal people of the queen, why didn’t she trust them with the powers?" Artemis asked, and he immediately noticed Cleopatra’s eyes darkening.

It was a very minute change, but Artemis, who was observing her carefully immediately saw through it and sighed.

"I know, right? Why didn’t she trust them?" Cleopatra asked, her tone was sad.

The three of them looked at each other before sighing.

"Don’t worry, Cleopatra, we will find that human by hook or by crook. Now that we know the story behind the queen’s powers, and her reasons, we are even more desperate to establish her glory. We will bring her name back through her powers," Hera said, and Artemis hummed.

"Thank you, Hera, you are a sweetheart. Why don’t you guys rest a bit? We will discuss the next plans later. This time you’ll leave with proper preparation and plans," Cleopatra said, turning her back to the group before she swam further away from them to look around her regional waters.

Cleopatra scoffed at the recognition in Artemis’s eyes.

’Was she one of those five loyal guards who wanted to establish the Queen’s glory? Of course, not. She was the daughter of the Divine Energy Clan leader’s friend.

She was one of the only survivors of the clan, and in no way did she want to bring back the glory.

In fact, she wanted to destroy it. Destroy everything that Queen Elizabeth took away from them. Her family, her friends, her home, and everything just because she stupidly fell in love. Just because of her, the entire clan had to suffer.

There was a reason the ancestors stayed hidden for so long, but Elizabeth ruined it all. And then she died somewhere else? What a joke!’ Cleopatra scoffed, a clear thought of destroying that human and the powers in her mind as she clenched her hands and swam away with her eyes closed.
