Queen Olivia, Dark and Dangerous Like a Secret

Queen Olivia was a royal with ebony hair
which complemented her almond eyes, 
who had the power to bewitch beyond obscurity,
she gave the appearance of being aloof,
which was a masquerade that covered 
her desire of bestowing a death wish upon guests
as she hypnotized them in her private chambers,
innocent victims who met their end were taken
to the bowels of the castle of doom and left to 
decay forever as each was piled on top of another,
all bearing a suture on top of their heads depicting
Queen Olivia's coat-of-arms of crossed swords,
as the years passed and more victims perished,
her queenly veneer transformed to a maniacal one,
walls which were opaque were painted blood red,
drained from the bodies before they were entombed.
