The soldiers were bewildered by the spectacle in front of them, the still of Andrei was sitting taking all the insults, Andriya threw at him. She constantly hit him with her fan causing his head to bleed, but it was his last concern as his whole body was bleeding from different spots.
"B-i-tch- kill you," Andrei tried to talk but, he felt his tongue isn't working as it was supposed to.
"I didn't hear, what did you say? Did you say you will kill me?" Her voice had a mocking tone to it.
Unexpectedly for everyone, she gave an unusual order to the soldiers,
"Leave, go back and wait for your orders," She said while looking at the confused soldiers.
"My queen! What if they attack you again?" The soldiers started to protest but they forgot who they were talking to.
"I said, leave, don't make me say it again," This time her voice had a coldness to it. She considered soldiers as an asset but, if they won't listen to her orders, she had no use for them.
"Yes, my queen," Everyone gave a bow and left the room after looking at the dead bodies of their friends.
Pete, Ferosa, Gilmoroton and his assassins were the only people left in the throne room except for Andriya and his brother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mother, how did you do this? I was about to kill him with my own hands," Pete wasn't satisfied with her taking every reputation of this war.
He didn't want to be recorded as a puppet of his mother in the history books, so Pete drank some healing potions and tried to assist Andriya but the result was unexpected,
"What do you think you're doing?" Andriya asked looking at him, she had no care or kindness in her gaze.
"What do you mean? I'm trying to kill him and take the throne," Pete was confused.
"Don't do anything unwanted, stay back," At her words, he took a step back but not before frowning at her. Andriya noticed it but she ignored him.
She turned back to Andrei who was starting to gain his talking ability back,
"Brother, I have a surprise for you," Andriya said while giving the signal to Gilmoroton.
He murmured something to another assassin and he disappeared from his spot, few minutes after that they heard some footsteps near the door.
Everyone looked at but nobody was able to identify her so-called surprise except Andrei and Ferosa.
A smile came into Duke Ferosa's seeing the so-called surprise,
"It's your beloved family brother, you didn't want to be too far from them right? So I brought them here," At her words, Andrei started to throw a tantrum.
"Don't Kill, I," He shouted but only some gibberish came out of his mouth. Andriya had a smile plastered all over her face looking at the agonizing face of Andrei.
There were two girls one looking middle-aged and another one looking rather young standing with tears all over their faces.
"Your highness, our son- they killed our son," She said with tears coming from her face.
At her words, Andrei's eyes widened with anger and despair.
"Oh~ I forgot, your idiot son tried to resist so, we had no choice but to kill him, I'm sorry brother for killing my nephew," Andriya had fake tears coming out of her eyes.
"Gilmoroton, bring his head and place it on my brother's lap, he misses his beloved son,"
Gilmorotn had a disgusted expression written all over his face, despite that he went on with that orders,
The moment assassins brought a head of a young man with bright colour hair, Andrei's wife started to scream showing how painful it was for her,
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, he should have done what I said, you should raise your next child to properly listen to their elders," Andriya didn't get close to her but, her voice and tone showed how vicious her mind was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPete was looking at all these things but the thing which caught most of his attention was his cousin, whom he had never seen before.
She had the same beautiful figure as her mother but, her beauty was nowhere to be seen with all her face disfigured with the blood and tears of her brother but for a beast like Pete it didn't matter at all.
"Mother, Can I take care of her?" Pete said while pointing at the young woman, who was looking at her brother's head with a fearful look.
It didn't take even a few seconds for both Andriya and Ferosa to frown at his words, Peter became confused for a minute why they acted like that, Peter tried to attack Ferosa seeing his face but Gilmorton quickly interfered blocking it.
"Your highness, don't, this person is our ally," He said.
"Do you want to die too?" Peter's voice had an angry tone mixed with it.
"My queen, our deal?" Ferosa ignored Peter and talked with Andriya.
"I know, I won't break my deal, she is all yours and you will be given a noble position in the empire," Andriya said to which Ferosa responded with a bow. He had a perverted look on his face looking at the feast in front of him
Others couldn't help but be disgusted by his attitude, Andriya had a lot of helpers in the kingdom since she was a former princess of this kingdom, and one of them was Duke Ferosa.
Before the war started she signed a deal with him to help him to get the princess in exchange for the help to conquerer the kingdom. Even though Ferosa was a married man and had a daughter the same age as the princess, his perverted self couldn't hold back anymore seeing that perfect and beautiful princess.
Hearing her words, Both mother and daughter tried to run but, they got blocked by assassins who were surrounding them. They had fearful looks on their faces.
"You can't decide that I'm the emperor," Pete tried to argue with her but, Andriya's next words caused him to close his mouth,
"So what? Don't forget who helped you to rise to that rank. If not for me a weakling like you will never rise to it," Pete didn't argue with her but, his fingers and teeth were trembling from anger.
"Bitch! One day you will pay for this humiliation," At this point, he had already forgotten that he was talking about his mother.
