Chapter 254: Kidnapping
Today was the day that the Queen would visit the mining province of Sar, and from where Haman was looking at, things were already falling right where he wanted them. He had meticulously planned for the Queen’s abduction, and while it had been delayed since the Queen’s schedules were adjusted, he still managed to make things work.
It was also a good thing that it was finally happening now. He couldn’t wait to get a hold of his divine woman, and now was that great opportunity.
Once they arrived at Sar, Haman was quick to set things up. They only had one shot at this, and he refused to let things be left to chance. As expected, Mineah was invited to a masquerade party being held in her honor, something that they were already planning on sabotaging to their advantage.
Haman maliciously chuckled as excitement filled his entire being. Already, he was salivating at the chance of having her in his arms. He just wanted a taste of her and then return her back... Or maybe not and he could have her all to himself.
"Is everything ready?" Haman impatiently asked Nimue.
"As ready as they’ll ever be, Master," Nimue curtly bowed. "Our people are already in place, and all that’s left is to give out the signal on your call."
Haman nodded in approval. Despite everything, nothing still beats a simple snatch-and-grab job. Why complicate things when he could simply rig everything in his favor and have Her Majesty abducted by a group of untraceable thugs? There were no tricks to this. No magical spell would be used beyond the one thing that would cover for his men’s escape.
No, this was plain and simple. Surely, something as fail-proof as this wouldn’t encounter any problems.
"I’ll be the one to give it then," Haman scoffed as he took up his position above the roof of the conference hall where the masquerade ball was being held. It was only fortunate that the roof had glass panes in some places, allowing them to take a peek at the happenings below. "On my order, they’ll nab the Queen and bring her to the specified safe house."
