Chapter 378: Be My Queen
Some congratulations were given to Ahmed as the meeting finally came to an end. In spite of this, however, his eyes as he kept an eye on what was currently happening around him. He was serious in claiming all that was now his, and there was still another part of the plan just waiting to happen for him to achieve it.
’Why is nobody saying anything?’ he inwardly scowled despite all of the cheers and congratulations he was getting. ’I don’t care about any of you... Just say something about the Queen...’
For his plan to work, the crowd had to turn on their former queen. After all, she hadn’t done anything productive for the crown as far as they could tell. She even failed to produce an heir that caused all of this discussion and debate to happen in the first place. If the crowd simply dispersed without anything happening whatsoever, then that meant that his calculations were incorrect. That was something that shouldn’t be possible, so he was getting ready for some of his men to instigate things should the one thing he was expecting to happen didn’t go according to plan.
And sure enough, as the crowd slowly dispersed even further, it would seem that he had to rely on his fall-back plan. Giving one of his men a knowing glance, the official nodded before he visibly began to prepare a speech.
"With Ahmed now king, what else is Queen Mineah supposed to do now?"
The official’s question lingered in the air for but a brief moment, but it was more than enough for a conversation to get started. Already, more and more people were starting to question the queen’s continued presence in the palace, and that was exactly what Ahmed wanted.
"She’s a useless queen if anything. While I’m grateful for her service, the fact that she couldn’t even secure an heir for us means that she was a failure."
"Who is to say that she even tried? Maybe she didn’t even bother bedding with the king."
"Right? As she is now, she’s just a waste of resources that should be going to the kingdom instead!"
