Chapter 358 Chapter 358
Along the way after meeting with the current king of the kingdom, the trio met with the current queen with her arms cross in front of her chest furthering the display of her chest while leaning on one of the walls of the hallway. She had been working hard on the secret development of her group no matter what or how it is done, their survival lies upon her shoulders which were quiet heavy.
“Want me to intervene?” she asked the three while strange magic arts interweave through her fingers. 𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮
“You’d be the last one that we’ll ask help from when it comes to such things…Who knows what kind of sick idea you have running through your head.” Isma commented while shaking his head in response for he knows the consequence of acquiescing to what the queen wanted to happen. The current condition of the previous king was her handiwork and who knows if that poor fella still had an intact soul within him.
“What a pity…” the queen shook her head and an apologetic expression was plastered on her face but the three men knew it better, it was just a mask to hide what she really felt. “Here I am concerned about the young king and yet you easily dismiss my aid… He may not be my real son but I am still her mother and I can’t help but worry about his well-being…” she continued.
A smirk crept up to the lips of Isma, “Concerned about him? Are you dumb or do you think we are dumb? Worry about your own people and your own agenda in this rotten kingdom… And stay out of our way or the deal will be null and void the moment you touch the king.”
“Ignore her, let’s go…” the authoritative voices of Ishaq reached the ears of Isma who always likes to have a battle of words with the queen. Even during their early days, Isma always loved to shower the queen with sharp words and he can’t do anything about it.
“Truly a pity…” the queen continued to show a worried face but not a single one around believe her.
Menna clicked his tongue after watching the little show.
“Those tricks of yours don’t work on us… Better go find someone else to toy with.”
Among the three of them he was the one who discovered the real identity of the current queen and they were truly surprised to find her kind in this kingdom. Their discovery of finding more of the queen’s kind blending with the people of the kingdom came even more as a surprise for them. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎
“Ah… You are hurting my feelings…”the queen’s respond came fast as she clutch her chest right above where her heart was located and looking like she was in pain. There was a flicker of magic upon her eyes as she stared at Menna who remained indifferent to what she was doing.
Ishaq halted in his tracks after feeling the ripple of magic then turned around to find out what was happening.? After turning around, Ishaq saw a figure being thrown towards the walls. He just shook his head then continued on his way. There was no need for him to intervene in the situation.
Isma or Menna would sometimes show the current queen that she is nothing but someone that they can eliminate anytime that they want. They could easily get rid of her but there was no way for them to hide the truth that they were the one who did it because of the presence of Syvis and the other elusive figures who are always with the queen who dwell in the shadows. The trouble from the kingdom itself, they can handle it but the trouble from the kindred of the queen was something that they can’t shrug off without releasing their real powers which would in turn allow them to be easily located by those who were searching for them for more than two decades already.
The three of them would happily beat down the current queen and show her where she stands rather than kill her to avoid greater trouble. It was annoying but at least it allows them to remain hidden from those who were looking for them.
“You do know that I am not susceptible to such tricks. My soul is something that the likes of you can’t deal with.” Menna crossed his arms in front of his chest as he stared down at the queen who was being supported by her servants as she slowly got up after being easily thrown away by the clash between the two of them.
“You are far too weak…” Menna continued then turned around like he no longer wants to be bothered by the annoying woman. He greatly suspects that she was some kind of masochist since she would always attempt to fight him in his field of expertise only to be beaten down again and again and be in so much pain even though she knew that she was not his match.
“I think she likes you… She always targets you…Why don’t you try wooing her and we will be able to avoid future troubles from her.” Isma caught up with his comrade and began teasing him. Well there some truth to his words since all of the beat downs that the queen received, most of them were from Menna and both Ishaq and him only gave her a single thrashing and she never messed with them again, it was only Menna who she continued to challenge.
“I’d be damn to woo someone like her…” Menna gritted his teeth then went silent.
“What? She is not your type?” Isma continued as he gave him a teasing smile.
Menna just clicked his tongue in annoyance then continued to be quite while increasing his pace to catch up with their leader.
“I know she is a little feisty but that won’t be a problem with a little bit of taming from you.” Isma gave a small chortle as he nudged the shoulder of Menna while giving him a wink.
The two continued on their way with one teasing the other while the other earning more black lines on his face.
The queen regained her balance with the aid of her servants. Her sight continued to linger on the back of the man who always bested her in the field that she was supposed to excel in. “He is still too strong… The gap is still huge…” she murmured to herself while her eyes never left the figure of Menna.
