Chapter 58: Kidnapping

Unexpectedly, the soldiers escorting her were defeated. Swana froze at the small explosions emitted by the sticks of the group of people attacking her entourage.

"What's that?" asked Nancy who was horrified that the sticks held by the soldiers could explode.

"That's the power of magic. Someone enchanted the sticks and made them explode."

This time Swana was sure that Eden was involved.

Now Swana had to find a way to avoid being caught. From what she has heard, witches love to research werewolves.

"Miss, let's run," said Nancy.

The current situation was very dangerous. Especially if they got caught.

Swana did not refuse, but unfortunately, someone from the attackers blocked them.

"Follow us," said the attacker wearing a mask. The cold, flat voice indicated that they were trained not to negotiate.

"Run, my queen!"

Nancy tried to block the attacker who wanted to take Swana. But Swana stopped her knowing that her actions would cause the attacker to hurt Nancy.

"No Aunt Nancy. Move aside. I have business with Eden," said Swana.

The man's eyes trembled as he did not expect Swana to know who had ordered him to attack Swana's carriage.

"But His Majesty will be angry if we leave you!" Nancy shouted.

Swana shook her head. "Tell him that I will talk to Eden. I told you I don't want any casualties because of Eden's grudge."

Of course, no one could defeat Swana's stubbornness. The soldiers retreated, as did Nancy.

"No! Please take me too! Please!" Nancy shrieked. She did not want to leave Swana alone.

Because although she was a queen, two were also women. There will be terrible gossip if this is heard by the nobles. They will doubt Swana's purity.

The messengers looked at each other and they nodded. Nancy was also roughly led to the carriage they had prepared.

"Aunt Nancy, why are you here? Swana who was already in the carriage was surprised.

"I can't let you be brought alone. Whatever happens, I will not be separated from you." Nancy did not want to say that she was coming for Swana's honor.

Swana no longer said anything. Everything had already happened and all she could think of now was to think of a strategy so that Eden would not make trouble that would cause a war between the two kingdoms.

Unfortunately, until now she still had no ideas that she could use to negotiate with Eden.

'Never mind, it's better for me to calm down first while thinking about what I will say when I meet Eden,' Swana said to herself.

The carriage was moving. Swana and Nancy who were in the carriage with the windows closed had to endure the discomfort. They also had to be prepared for a long and tiring journey.

After a while of traveling, Swana started to get tired. She tried to lean back and sleep. But the uncomfortable train did not let her sleep. Nancy became worried and offered her lap as a pillow.

"Your Majesty, sleep on my lap. You can't be tired," Nancy said.

"I'm fine Bi. I just hope we arrive soon. "

Meanwhile, Curtis, who heard the news of Swana's kidnapping, was furious. The soldiers including Logan began to tremble at the murderous aura that Curtis exuded. He seemed to want to destroy what he saw now. Losing Luna's mate could indeed drive the alpha werewolf crazy. And no one can guess who the madman who wants to die is.

But Curtis acted quickly to deal with this.

"Keep this news from being known by the nobles. Spread the word that Swana is visiting a neighboring kingdom," said Curtis.

He ordered to keep this a secret from everyone for the same reason as Nancy. It was for Swana's honor.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The soldiers shouted.

Then Curtis summoned his right hand beside Logan and Sam.

"Alex," called Curtis. Just like Arsion, Curtis also had a shadow army.

"Yes, Your Highness." Someone appeared quickly like the wind.

"Deploy your men. Find Swana wherever she is," Curtis hissed. He recalled the conversation with Swana about Eden. Unfortunately, Curtis had no idea where that man was.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After everything was quiet, Curtis began to feel madness overtake him. Bloodthirsty, hatred tempted him to destroy everything.

Voices appeared and voiced opposition in his head. Something he hadn't felt since he met Swana.

*Kill.

*Destroy*.

*No*, *Swana will be angry.*

*But* *that man wants to separate you from Swana.*

*Get angry. Show me the consequences of touching your luna.*

*No, Swana will be sad.***

Curtis seemed unable to control himself. He left the kingdom and headed to the forest. He vented his anger there.

"Swana!"

Curtis shouted. He was so angry that he couldn't sense Swana nearby. Now he could only wait for Alex and his werewolf army to find Swana with his sense of smell. If only it was a full moon night, he would be able to smell Swana's scent even at a distance. The same thing he had done when he hunted Eden at Amber's residence.

The next day the nobles were surprised when Curtis showed up and chaired the meeting. They immediately became tense. Not only did Curtis look angry but also because they were afraid of Curtis' power. No one dared to open their voice until Curtis started to speak up.

"If there is no report then the meeting is over."

Curtis stood up to leave the meeting room. Where the nobles let out a long sigh. Who would dare to speak in front of Curtis whose eyes had turned red.

The nobles felt that postponing the meeting was for the best.

"I thought I was going to die today," said one of them.

"It's obvious that Her Majesty Curtis hates parting from the Queen."

"I think it's quite humane, I also hate being separated from my wife, especially for royal business. "

The tense nobles began to relax. They left the meeting room and waited for Swana to return from the royal visit. They hoped they would not see Curtis in this room again.
