Chapter 243: Haman’s Malice-Filled Thoughts
Haman stayed with his usual boring work inside the Hall of Justice. There was nothing fun about it, especially with his mind currently distracted by how that bastard Nikolai was having a blast feeding on his wife’s heavenly blood during last night’s full moon. They weren’t back in the palace this morning, and he could only wonder how long they would be gone until they returned.
In fact, the moment he received news that they were back, Haman quickly vanished from his own office and appeared in the hallways where the Queen was walking together with Dahlia and her shadow maidens.
With a wide smile, he approached them without a care in the world. "My Queen, a pleasant evening." he greeted with a curt bow. He then looked at the ladies with her and gave them a nod as well. "Ladies."
"A pleasant evening, Lord Haman," the Queen greeted back.
Haman did his best to control himself as walked closer to the Queen. She just smelled so pleasant, and for someone gifted with a superb sense of smell like him, he could smell the Queen’s divine and heavenly blood so easily that she didn’t even need to be wounded for him to get a whiff of her.
That was truly when his lust for her started, not because of her ethereal beauty, but because her scent was like no other. It was so strong that he wouldn’t let a day last without getting at least enough distance near her just to smell her scent. But of course, he had to be very careful about it, so he didn’t dare come near her unless he had a good alibi to do so.
"I would like to visit Lady Dahlia, but I wasn’t allowed unless granted permission by Her Majesty," Haman informed her.
"Ah, that’s right. Ever since the incident with Lady Dani and Chancellor Abel..." Mineah trailed off before answering her with a polite smile. "You see... I became quite strict with my ladies-in-wanting in that I no longer allow them to be alone with any man."
"But I need her regarding the case of her so-called death years ago. She needs to be questioned so that this investigation can move as quickly as possible," Hamon reasoned with a cheeky smile. "We need to bring justice for His Majesty, after all, and finding Rosela’s accomplices will do just that. Though, if only to ease you of your worries, you can have someone escort Lady Dahlia during her questioning."
