Chapter 383: Grow Fonder
"This can’t be! This can’t be happening!"
Ahmed barked out his disbelief as he tried his best to get out from the chains restraining his movements. Every time he moved, he would be electrocuted, feeling pain all over again. He knew he was in the dungeons, and he was aware that all of the members of his coven were inside in their respective prisons as well except for those who rattled them out.
Even now, he still couldn’t believe how he fell into Nikolai’s trap. And that woman! He had kept his real intentions hidden for so many years. He did his best to control his emotions and greed until he believed that his plans were already perfect enough to put into motion! And yet...
He gritted his teeth in anger. "That woman!"
They all played him like a fool, especially the Queen when he thought that he was the one playing her well. He was well aware of her ability to read minds thanks to that warlock Nimue, and he made sure that he was well protected from mind readers like her. However, he had overlooked how Nikolai had managed to use Raul against him! That damn magical pearl! How could he miss it?
He was still busy stewing in her thoughts when he felt Nikolai’s familiar presence before him. Hissing, he slowly raised his head.
"You will face the same fate as Haman," Nikolai taunted with a smirk. "I would love to kill you with my own hands, but my wife said that someone like you doesn’t even deserve to be touched by my precious hands."
Ahmed grunted as he hissed, "Do you really think it will end with you ending my life? Soon, another person will emerge to get that throne."
"Hmm... And like how things turned out now, I will simply bring them all down, Ahmed," Nikolai stated. "I don’t have plans to sit on the throne for too long, Ahmed. I’m willing to give way to anyone of our people that I see fit for the throne. But you and Haman chose to do things the wrong way, even involving innocent lives just to achieve your own greed." Still frowning, he added, "The biggest mistake you committed to me is trying to covet my wife with your dirty eyes."
