Kat's footsteps echoed in the dark hallway, matching her unwavering resolve to seize power. She was determined to become queen, and nothing would stop her. Kael's rule was weakening, and her ambition fueled her next move.
She made it to the secret alcove where Rantan was waiting. The darkness made his face look even scarier. His eyes lit up with approval when he saw her, but the way he looked at her was always a little creepy.
He said, "Kat," in a calm, low voice. "Well, I guess you've made up your mind?"
Kat walked up to him with a lot of confidence, but there was still some tension in the air. She didn't answer right away. She walked past him and turned around to look at him. "I've been patient," she said, and her voice showed that she was getting angry. "But I'm done waiting now."
