Sneak Peek of Chapter 9 of Nothing Is What It Seems

Here's the sneak peek I promised.  I hope you enjoy it.



The High Queen had felt it. Her son knew who his lovely mystery woman was. Now it was up to him on how he reacted. Oh, she wouldn't stop protecting the child. She still needed some time to learn her feelings. That son of hers would no doubt wish to host a ball as soon as possible, but she knew that wouldn't be wise.

He had no idea that he was working the poor girl and his staff almost to death. To be kind to her hopefully, that is if her son didn't mess up again, daughter in law, she would call her son away from his castle for a few weeks. The poor staff would no doubt guess and gossip, while he planned their next meeting. Of course, she, the High Queen, would be attending the next ball. There was no way she was going to miss it. Either her son would succeed or he would fail. Well, not so much as fail, but really anger the girl.

Sighing, she tossed the crystal in her hand into the air. She could only hope the child would appreciate what she was doing for her. Hopefully, she had learned that lesson from her time running the Labyrinth. Of course, she had a suspicious feeling that both her son and the girl weren't going to be too thrilled with her, but at least they wouldn't be so damn sad all the time.

Smiling softly, she conjured another crystal. After a few moments, she blew gently on it, and it floated away. She watched it float out the opened window and begin its journey to the monarch of the Goblin Kingdom.
