Chapter 60: King Degar

"I can free you from the pursuit of both Arta and Sinclair," Swana said confidently.

She has her own plan so that Arsion will not pursue Eden.

"What do you want from me, Queen Swana?" Asked Eden who was curious.

"My wish is very easy and I believe you can do it."

"What is it?"

"Heal Noel's psyche. I want her to recover from the trauma that made her a statue."

Eden's eyes bulged. She did not think Swana's request was so simple.

"Are you sure you only want that?" Eden emphasized Swana's request.

"Yes, now it's my turn to ask. Do you agree to it?" Swana asked.

Laughter erupted. Eden was so amused that she forgot that what Swana was offering was impossible.

"You make me laugh Swana ahaha... Do you think I can be easily fooled by you!?"

Swana remained silent so that she could understand Eden's intention. Here she stands as the queen who has power over Sinclair's kingdom but Eden laughs and suspects her kindness.

"Swana, I know you are just a puppet queen. The one who rules in Sinclair is Curtis!"

This time it was Swana who snorted in amusement. She thought Eden had something else to doubt. It turned out that he only doubted her power.

"Fool." That was all Swana said. "If you investigate further then you will know where I really stand. Am I really just a puppet queen or am I the one who controls Curtis?"

Eden did not argue this time.

"Alright, I will consider your offer," Eden said.

Swana's eyes turned red. She began to feel that the seal was working. She could clearly feel Curtis' feelings and the man's anger.

"You don't have much time. This kingdom will be surrounded by Curtis' elite troops. "

Eden was surprised by Swana's warning. The man thought that Swana was bluffing.

"What a liar."

Swana shook her head. She no longer had any interest in negotiating with Eden. He would definitely come back if he found out that what she said was true.

The soldiers immediately brought Nancy and Swana to this abandoned castle room. Neither of them got any privileges even though Swana had offered something Eden wanted. Swana did not protest because all she could think about was Nancy's condition.

"Aunty, how are you? Are you still in pain?" Swana asked.

"I am fine my Queen," Nancy replied. She held her chest which was still hurting from the pounding of her body against the wall.

"Aunty, I know you are surprised by my offer. But I want things to go on as normal as before. I don't want to be involved in a tense government at all. Every day is a war for me," Swana said.

Although the royals are currently supporting her, it does not guarantee that they will support her forever.

"I know, but you have to promise to take me wherever you go," Nancy pleaded.

"I promise."

All night Nancy and Swana slept in each other's arms. There were no candles around them and the room was lit only by the moon.

Meanwhile, Eden who doubted Swana's words was surprised by the report from his soldiers. They looked pale and trembled as they reported.

"Your Majesty, the kingdom is currently besieged by an army of werewolves. His Majesty even questioned what you did that made Commander Curtis angry."

Eden almost dropped her cup when the report from her soldiers arrived.

"What!? How could Curtis bother to besiege the kingdom for a woman?" Eden muttered.

"Your Majesty, the King is currently calling for you. He seems frightened at the sight of Commander Curtis' troops besieging the royal city."

"Alright, I'll be there."

Eden could not help but meet the King. The emergency situation that happened was something she never predicted. He thought that Curtis would choose to have a new queen if his queen was kidnapped. Because a kidnapped woman would have her honor doubted.

Just look at Arsion, he even raised concubines so that the babies died before they were born. So Eden also thought that Curtis would do something similar.

Eden quickly headed towards the kingdom. It was just that he felt goosebumps after seeing hundreds of eyes burning in the darkness. Their distance wasn't too far either. This kingdom became like being surrounded by a pack of wolves watching for prey.

"This is crazy!" Eden shrieked.

Curtis had really gone too far. Was that man willing to drain blood just because his Lunas were kidnapped?

King Degar greeted Eden with an angry face. Even though this former witch had done something extraordinary but she had messed up.

"Where is Queen Swana, Eden?"

King Degar immediately asked the question. The fate of the kingdom was now on a dagger's edge so there was no time to ask Eden first.

"I..."

"Don't tell me that you are not involved as Eden's advisor! I know that you ordered my people to attack someone in Sinclair's kingdom. "

Eden did not move.

"She is safe and rest."

King Degar let out a long sigh. He was very relieved to hear that the queen was unharmed.

"Take her to the palace. We will welcome her as a royal guest."

There was no argument from Eden. He now realized that Swan had a big hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Don't ever do this again, advisor Eden. I think you have seen what the current condition of our kingdom is like. I am even afraid to go out of the palace because I feel that there are wolves surrounding the kingdom. "

Eden looked down again.

"I know, Your Majesty. I take my leave to bring Queen Swana to the palace."

King Degar nodded. He immediately ordered the servants to prepare the best rooms to welcome Swana. He also ordered the butler to serve Swana. All this was because he had heard that Curtis was a crazy man who conquered many kingdoms. Even Sinclair was conquered by him.

It was going to be a long night for King Degar and the nobles of his kingdom. They must welcome Swana with the utmost respect so as not to offend Curtis. Moreover, the situation is still not conducive after the change of throne.
