Chapter 307 - The Woman In The Lake.
In the realm of spiders.
"I don\'t understand Adrian," the man standing in front of a huge lake whispered, "how is it that I lost the plot and not only that but I also lost my witch in the same night."
Adrain did not miss a beat before answering, "the guard on the duty that failed to capture the witch after she ran away has been punished, sir."
"Yes, yes," Nathaniel muttered, "you killed him before I could interrogate him. That was something I did not like, Adrian. I hope you learn your lesson."
Adrian\'s eyes went to his left hand that had been deprived of his two fingers. As a Vampire, he should have been able to heal if he placed the fingers from where they had been separated but Nathaniel had made his starved wolves chew them.
"I understand sir," he nodded. "What do we do now?"
Nathaniel gave an exhaustive sigh. "Well it is obvious that if the witch is alive, she would certainly tell them about our position which is why we had to change it."
Hence, the realm of spiders. The least sort out Kingdom.
The spiders were not a dangerous creature but just insects in the human world, but here they were creatures that could go up to 12 feet high in the air.
They were long and strong with the humongous bodies and vicious poison. The only advantage that they had given Nathaniel was they did not have any communication with other realms which made it a perfect destination for him to stay.
"Get Qaasim,"
Adrian nodded and inaflash he returned with the said man that the leader had asked for.
Qaasim was the third in command.
"Qaasim, what exactly happened to the beast in the jungle?"
The cool yet cold voice of the leader was chilling enough for Adrian to close his eyes for a brief second. This was not going to end well for any of them and surely not for the human queen.
"The beast completely failed, my king." Qaasim answered. "However the failure resulted in the king being forced to mark the queen because of the frozen lake that they had fallen into."
"Marked?" He repeated.
"Yes, sir." Qaasim confirmed.
Nathaniel hummed, "on the neck?" He asked again to confirm.
"yes, sir." Qaasim confirmed. Qaasim casted a curious look to Adrian. Why was there leader asking for confirmation twice? Anything, Nathaniel hated to have information repeated.
Nathaniel\'s brain has started to work in the direction that was going to bring him nothing but more opportunities and advantages that the king had laid into his lair.
Nathaniel stared at the lake in front of him. It was just the perfect opportunity that they had landed into his grasp.
It might look like to the king and queen that everything worked in their favour but it also worked out in his favour.
"Marked. . ." He murmured.
The water changed. The waves started to form as the water darkened and one figure appeared at the surface as if it was standing under the water and watching everything from below.
"Well, well, well," Nathaniel chuckled. "They have no idea what they have done."
The woman in the lake smiled before laughing viciously. Nathaniel received a beaming smile from the woman who was happy with the turn of events that she had heard.
"Does this change your plans?" Adrian asked, interrupting his thoughts and making his face expression less again.
Would that change everything? With the recent turn of events everything would work in his favour and everything that he wanted to achieve, on the next level, that he had decided would be in his hands.
But only and only, if he decided to play it right.
His eyes went to the figure in the lake shook her head very slowly as if understanding where his thoughts for giving.
"Yes, it would." He revealed it to the man in his inner circle. "It would change a lot of things, in fact it would change the plan completely."
Changing it completely to how he always wanted it to be would be the best thing ever. Not only would he have a powerful witch by his side if you actually have an army.
That gave him enough power to overthrow any royalty that he could find in any realm. No one would win against him.
"What are we going to do, your highness?" Qaasim asked out of curiosity.
Nathaniel watched as the woman gave him final nod and disappeared into the lake letting him handle everything else.
His isla….
He turned around once she had disappeared. "We will have a change in plans and you," he pointed his finger at Adrian, "find me a wolf. Find me a wolf who has a pregnant mate because we," he turned to Qaasim, "are going to bring your mate back."
A huge smile came to Qaasim\'s face. It was the very reason why he had joined the dark side of the fallen prince and now it was bearing fruit for him.
"Thank you, your highness." Qaasim stepped closer to Nathaniel before bending down on one knee and holding his hands out. Once Nathaniel placed his hand in his, Qaasim started to place repeated kisses thanking his king.
"Go away now," Nathaniel shook him off before walking away. "And find me the wolf before tomorrow morning. I want this to be done as soon as possible. Make sure that the rituals are prepared for."
"Yes, your Highness." Both of the men replied that as they were standing near the lake. One with a huge smile on his face and the other staring at the departing back of his leader within expressionless face.
"My mate is coming back!" Qaasim yelled out of happiness. "She is coming back!"
Adrian stared at the jumping man from the corner of his eyes. Somehow the evil power inside him that ruled the roost made him think of how fun it would be to burst the bubble that his mate was never coming back.
No one ever came back from the dead.
No one.
