The paint had dried on my canvas and it was ready to take to Cardwell. I did not know what I would say to him though. The new information Linna had given me had only fueled my hatred of him more. How was I supposed to pretend to like this man when I knew all of these wrong doings? I grabbed the canvas and headed to his chambers. I paced in front of his doors for a few moments while his guards watched me. “Did you want to go in my queen?” One of the guards asked. “I just need a few more minutes to think.” They looked at me skeptically. I obviously looked like a mad woman to them. I could feel their eyes sizing me up determining my threat level. Seeing no weapon on me they assumed that I was ok. Though they had no idea the real weapon I held inside me. I could easily end Cardwell
