Chapter 177: A favour
While the temple was plunged into chaos, trying to stop the inferno that wanted nothing but to consume. They prayed the queen was still safe in the heat.
While this was going on Abrielle was figuring out how to get herself out of the sticky situation she found herself in.
Alfonso’s words were threatening, she understood what he meant. Her jaw slacked, her emotionless eyes staring back at him. She had gotten herself into Alfonso’s trap. "You can’t threaten me if you want to tell on me. You would have screamed calling out for attention, but you didn’t." Abrielle bravely challenged him trying to hold her stand.
"But I will once you step out, so be my guest." He chimed, making way for her to leave knowing she didn’t have the guts to get out.
"And let’s see if Cedric can save you from Kaiden’s wrath," he challenged, pushing her buttons. Abrielle was tempted to walk out just because of her stubbornness but she knew her limits and when to take a break.
She quickly ran the situation in her head, Eleanor already had planned on putting the attempted poisoning on her head. If this fire allegation was also added, her chances of defending herself would be limited, and it would be enough allegations to get her convicted of treason.
Her head would be chopped off, and who knows, Cedric might be designated her prosecutor.
She closes her eyes, muttering something inaudible; she finds out about something important at the cost of being entrapped by Alfonso.
"What do you want?" She hissed, trying to hold back her irritation. A soft smile curled up Alfonso’s face. He had her where he wanted.
