Chapter 41 Matriarch Queen
POV: Queen Jezebel
I wrapped my clothes tightly and climbed the throne, the ministers all bowed. I stood tall and elegant, I had worked for my position.
"Your majesty, the people are dying and you need to do something..."
I raised my hand and he abruptly stopped talking. "The only way to stop the death of the people is by allowing the drugs to be brought...we need the drugs" I urged.
He had denied the drugs to be brought and I knew if I tried to bring the drugs in forcefully, he would declare a war.
He was the minister of war and has never lost any since he was seventeen. His tall muscular body and his sharp jawline visible under his mask.
"The drugs are not good for the people" he declared angrily and I knew I wouldn't be able to force him or to convince him but to try another method.
Seduction.
I'm Queen Jezebel, the most attractive queen in the world...I believe.
If any queen or princess turned out to be more beautiful, I would call a war with their country and my minister of war Heong never disappointed.
"How did you know? I wouldn't kill my people, or do you think I want my people dead?" I yelled angrily.
Those drugs were the only cure to the virus that struck my people but Heong didn't allow the drugs to be brought in.
The drugs were made with bean plants which would damage the brains of the people if taken too much and that would affect the country in the long run.
"I know you care for your people...but we need a solid solution and that is giving the old rose plants to the doctors"
The old rose plants.
I seized all the old rose plants in the country because the only farmer of that particular plant refused to fuck me.
"I'm sorry my queen, I have a wife and I'll be loyal to her."
How dare he?
"You think this is some soap opera movie? I'll do what I want and you can't stop me" I yelled angrily.
I was all bark and no bite, I wouldn't have done anything.
"Then I'll have no choice but to let my soldiers do the work."
"Minister of war, that will be waging war against your own people ", the prime minister tried to explain.
I looked at the handsome prime minister and smiled, maybe I'll seduce him tonight so he would talk to Heong on my behalf.
"Y'all can leave. I want to think", I dismissed them. They walked out of the throne room but the minister of war sat down like I didn't just give an order.
"Leave, I need to think" I yelled angrily, my soldiers pulled out their swords but he didn't shiver.
He stood up and his soldiers pulled out their swords too and followed him.
"Let's stop this," I ordered. He gestured at his soldiers and they sheathed their swords.
"Let's talk over a cup of tea tonight" he smiled and walked away.
I knew he wouldn't respect me because I wasn't the rightful owner of the throne. My father married ten women and had several concubines.
He had over thirty children and I was the daughter of a concubine. I got the opportunity to share a bed with a very powerful soldier, so he helped me defeat my siblings.
My mother was killed right in front of me, that was when I agreed to fuck the soldier so I could save myself.
My favourite sibling is still locked in the dungeon till this day.
I saw him as a threat whereas he was just a little boy that wanted to live. He lost his mother at a very young age and considered my mom to be his mother.
Tears welled up in my eyes, I had destroyed everyone because of my selfishness but I didn't regret it because if I didn't kill, I'd be killed.
The minister of war walked out of the throne room and I collapsed on the floor, my most trusted soldier Delan rushed to me quickly.
"Are you good?" He hugged me quietly as he helped me up.
"I'm tired of everything, somebody wanted me out of power" I yelled angrily and struggled to get out of his grip but he didn't allow it.
He picked me up from the floor, shocking other soldiers and carried me to my chambers shamelessly.
"Drop me...I can walk on my own", I groaned sadly. No one would ever understand what I was going through.
He kicked the door to my chambers open, shocking the maids cleaning up my rooms, bowed gently and he walked to my bed.
He dropped me gently on the bed, I stood up and slapped him angrily.
"Know your place ... don't you dare try to ruin my reputation" I yelled.
We had fun sex quite a number of times, he used to be my friend right before I became the queen and I knew about his feelings for me.
He was the minister of war's cousin and they hated each other.
I sat on my bed reading a book about how to start a war and win. The sun set beyond the horizon and rays seeped through my curtains.
I moved towards my window and opened my curtain.
"Your majesty, the minister of war is outside" my court maid interrupted me.
"Thank you, I'll meet him at my study. You can prepare ginger tea for him."
I took off the clothes I was wearing and wore a long dinner gown. It brought out my curves and also revealed my cleavage.
I picked up a jacket and covered the sexy gown with it. If negotiating didn't work out, I'd try other means.
No man ever ignored or refused me, I was the goddess of seduction.
"The great Queen Jezebel is here, bow and worship her." The royal announcer announced while my soldiers opened the door.
I entered like the queen I was and sat down, the minister of war didn't sit until I took a seat.
He bowed gently after he sat down. "Leave us now." I gestured to the maids and staff.
If at all I would seduce him, I wanted to do it privately.
"My queen, you can't trust him. You need us here" Delan tried to explain but I hushed him.
"Leave", they left reluctantly. Heong gestured at his soldiers and they all left too.
"No need to try dialogue, try your next method." He said immediately the door clicked shut.
