My Emotionless Goddess

” protect yours?” Miranda caught the slip in his tongue and probed.

Nikolai cursed inwardly. He almost let his stupid mouth reveal everything. It did not help that the princess was watching him with hawk-like eyes anticipating his answer.

” Protect my prince of course.” Nikolai masked every expression and answered. He knew that his answer was unconvincing but there was no way he would say the truth.

” Are you hiding something from me?” Miranda asked dangerously and Nikolai almost shivered from the coldness of her voice. He knew that she was not the kind of lady anyone would want to mess with. He had seen her in action. How she had made men wail in pain and that was the last thing he wanted to experience.

” What’s with the questioning? don’t make it sound as if i am your boyfriend and am hiding secrets from you. I am just extending my help to you. That does not mean I have to tell you everything about me.” he defended himself.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

” you better not do anything to cause harm to my justin otherwise i will let you experience hell on earth.” Miranda informed sending a dangerous glare to the man.

” Are you threatening me?” Nikolai asked with a teasing smile lingering on his lips. Actually, it was a way to hide his nervousness. He would not lie to say that he was not scared of the beauty before him. He was.

He knew that Miranda was five times scarier than the queen, no wonder she earned herself the name demoness. She was a she demon in disguise as a beautiful woman. You would not know when she sucked your blood dry.

” You can take it however you want, just remember that I will never forgive or forget betrayals.” She replied, stepped out of the car before slamming the door shut.

“quite a temper huh!” Nikolai said, shaking his head and patting his heart. He could not understand how Justin managed to tame that little beast to a wild cat. After Miranda disappeared, he ignited his car and drove off. He had to get to the ceremony and keep an eye on justin. He could never let anything happen to him otherwise the princess might skin him alive. He chuckled helplessly listening to his thoughts. How did his lifelong mission turn out to be a mission delegated by the princess?

The queen was the last to leave her chambers heading to the ceremony. She was dressed to kill. Someone could mistake her as the next to command. She was dressed in a black royal dress. The train behind her dress had a big red conspicuous phoenix embroidery. The design was a replica of what queens wear during their crowning ceremony, the only difference was that it was black and royal blue. Her lips were also painted black. Looking at her, she seemed to appear like the queen of darkness.

Her expressions were sinister mirroring her dress . She was walking with the help of a maid when one of her trusted people and allies, the minister of foreign affairs approached her.

” Greetings my .” he greeted me politelyy.

‘ What are you doing here? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to be seen together. People might start suggesting nonsense.” She was annoyed and reprimanded him harshly.

” Forgive my manners but the boss has instructed me to bring you to meet him before heading out.” he smoothly replied.

” What’s wrong with you people? I thought I made it clear that we should not meet. This could arouse suspicion.” she berated the guy but still gave in.

” Lead the way.” She said and the minister started walking towards the north wing of the palace. This was the section that housed different dungeons that were used as prison for traitors. The queen started feeling that something was odd about all this meeting thing but brushed off the feeling as paranoia.

She followed the man until he pushed a door open and ushered her inside. The room was dark making the queen hesitate for a while but the next minute, she was forcefully pushed to the dark room and before she could register what happened, the door was locked with a click and darkness engulfed her. She tried walking to the door but she suddenly felt her muscles turning into jelly and her brain muddled. She did not need someone to tell her that she was double crossed by her ally or was she?

The guy who had just pushed the queen inside the room was no other than the man accompanying Nikolai earlier. He pulled off the mask he had used to disguise himself and removed his phone to call his boss. ” mission accomplished.” he reported and the call was immediately disconnected.

what he did not know was that someone had followed him secretly and had seen what had transpired. A maid was on her way to her task when she saw the queen looking around sneakily following another man . It was known in the palace that the queen was sleeping around as a way to get back at the king for not paying attention to her. Rumours had it that the king never touched the queen nor shared a room with her ever since they got married.

In the past, although the queen would sleep around, she was discreet about it until recently she started doing it blatantly. The maid had intended to follow them and see if it was true but she did not expect to see something different. She gasped when she identified the man who had kidnapped the queen as prince Nikolai’s right hand man.

Ofcourse, she was very much aware about the threat from the rebels but it was never mentioned of the queen’s involvement in that matter. She concluded that the Prince was probably in cahoots with the rebels and that’s why he sent his man to kidnap the queen to threaten the king. But it still did not make sense, why would the king save the queen knowing that he was forced to marry her? Everything seemed complicated.

Afraid of getting herself entangled in royal issues, she turned and started walking away but did not expect the moment she turned around to come face to face with a man’s smiling face.

She was about to scream but her move was anticipated so her little mouth was covered. ” Do you intend to disturb the royal ancestors from their sleep with your shouting?” the man leisurely asked.

The maid was so scared she started trembling uncontrollably. “mmm… mmm.. mm” she replied in mumbled sounds, shaking her head desperately. She was very much aware that whatever she saw could cost her her pathetic life. She regretted satisfying her curiosity. If she did not stupidly follow them, maybe she could live longer but now all hope was lost.

“What did you see?” the man asked dangerously.

” Nothing! I saw nothing.” the maid desperately replied hoping the man will be magnanimous enough and let her go.

” Good. Now run little kitten. Run as fast as you can and don’t dare to look back.”
