Chapter 215 Complicated Web of Plans
"She was always the Queen. She doesn’t have the crown but she had been by my side for hundreds of years now." The man uttered. "Once the elder’s of the witches will perish along with Kuzma, they can no longer continue spreading false words against my wife. I can now marry her, make her my queen. Give her the throne that she deserves." He had been telling Siwa to become his Queen.
Who cares about the witches? Who cares about vampires? He could kill the current Queen, make it look like an accident, and everything would have been good! However, Siwa refused to become a Queen. Her false belief in peace, of living together without killing each other, was only one of the reasons why she wouldn’t claim her throne. The other reason? It was Lucinia.
Siwa didn’t want to put her daughter in a dangerous position. She doesn’t want to make her daughter the target of everyone’s anger and jealousy. She didn’t want to involve her daughter in politics and fighting against nobles. What a weak excuse! The King hated how Siwa would always use her daughter as an excuse to stop him. She would then remind him of his promise— something that he had been trying to honor for years!
At first, the King thought it was all good. Lucinia was not making any interest in involving herself with politics. She was trying to belong, which always failed because of Zacharia’s secret ways of sabotaging her. She wanted attention, but that was it. Nothing major that would put her in any danger.
Who would have thought that she would suddenly change just because of a freaky accident? The changes were not the only thing that made his head hurt, it was her involvement with Mo Li! An ancient with enemies, lurking in the shadows! The marriage itself was the last straw that made the King decide to find ways to kill this woman.
After almost a hundred years of protecting her, the king finally decided that enough is enough. He would now end Lucinia and save Siwa from the constant worries. Of course, he had to bid his time and create the perfect plan to kill Lucinia.
And when he did, that Gavril suddenly brought his woman to see her!
The King narrowed his eyes. He needed to teach that woman a lesson not to interfere in the King’s games!
"I see..." Lucinia bit her lower lip. "I remember Zach had been bringing me the flowers... was that your doing too? Does that mean you were the source of the flower of death?"
This question made the King laughed. Of course, he was the one who owns all those flowers of death! It could kill him and his enemies! He needed to know who had access to the flowers, who could threaten him. He needed to control the sources of the flower that could hurt him.
[Quest: Discover the source of the flower. Reward: 20 coins. Completed. ]
"Zacharia is such a loyal soldier... isn’t he?" Lucinia mused. How did the King create such a person? Someone who manipulated the original Lucinia to like him. Someone who seduced Prince Kuzma. Someone who became the Queen’s faithful servant. Everyone thought, that Zacharia was the Queen’s favorite dog. Who would have thought that all this time, the man was actually serving the King?
"Zacharia... ah.... Yes. He is indeed very special. Your mother made him protect you. Of course, I had to make someone like him useful too." The King uttered before he chuckled. "Now that you will die, your mother would probably kill Zacharia too." He shrugged.
"So you wanted to— " Lucinia didn’t continue her words as her eyes widened. "So you wanted to take advantage of this time to attack the witches? And that was when it hit her. "Did you — you wanted to create a war! A war lead by Prince Kuzma!" She exclaimed. The King.... Wanted to kill the witches, and what would be the best way to kill everyone aside from killing all of them in a war? "You— "
"I am wise. You don’t have to say that." The King smiled at her. "As we speak, the witches are now on their way towards the Kingdom. Many nobles will, of course, perish including you, as Kuzma will accidentally kill you too."
Lucinia turned silent, not because she felt afraid of this war. But it was because of Mo Li. The man’s task was to make sure that the vampires survive. However, now that he was poisoned, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about this war. Moreover, Prince Gavril was still unconscious. Meaning, the only strong people inside the palace was the Queen and her people.
Obviously, the Queen was not as strong as the King or Lucinia. So, she would— Lucinia looked at the King. She didn’t hide the mixture of emotions in her eyes. The man created a complicated web of plans to assure the Queen’s death. If the Queen wouldn’t die then, Mo Li would kill her as the King will make it look like the Queen was the one who killed Lucinia. Now if the Queen would die, then the King would make it look like the person who killed Lucinia was Kuzma which would prompt Mo Li to kill Kuzma and clean up all the witches.
This man... This King was someone really manipulative and cunning! A truly evil vampire!
She felt her heart suddenly raised. Now that the King just told her everything....
"Now... Now... you don’t have to look too scared." The King smiled at her. "I would give you a quick death. I promise."
"I have one more question about the Queen."
"Hm? What about her?"
"Does she know? Does she know about my mother?"
"No. She’s but a small pawn in my game. A useless pawn. Ah... now that I actually thought about it." He made a deliberate pause before he started beaming. "She might have some idea about the woman that I love, but she certainly does not have any idea who your mother was."
