Chapter 8: Is it Still Alive?
’I could have kept her around if she was willing to acknowledge that the tides have changed. But she doesn’t. She wants to kill me. Why not give her a taste of her own medicine?’
’But then again, what if her death affects the system? What if I lose all the PPP?’
With this thought, an idea crossed Elio’s mind. ’I can use all the points to buy things and then kill her after I’m...’
Another idea popped into his head before he could even finish the first one. Princess Mareen.
’If King Kard has been telling the truth, Mareen can be a replacement for Liza. If she really refused to be Gezen Kan’s concubine because of the love she had for me, she’s surely the perfect candidate.’
Queen Liza was still on the ground, lying on her back with her legs spread apart, naked, swords of Elio’s knights on her neck.
Just one word from him and boom, she would be dead.
’I have to know the whereabouts of Princess Mareen first.’
Elio’s knight was still staring at him with anticipation, waiting for a response for his question.
"No. We’re not going to kill her. She’s still useful. Lift her up."
Queen Liza got cocky. "I knew you still needed me. After all, without me, my people won’t accept your rule. But you’re wrong. If you have really killed my daughter, I won’t help you. My people will know what an evil being you are. They will revolt and force you out of my city."
