Chapter 309: Kill the Duke's Bride

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is the best move," Isadora said. She walked towards the King and sat opposite him. "The Duke of Wugari is I do not think he would come here without any other goal in mind. He must have wanted to have the Howling Mountains just like those people!" Isadora said. As the Princess of the Kingdom, she thought it is her job to tell the King the womenfolk's thoughts about the news of the Duke of Wugari's arrival.

"And why would the woman called Isadora the Wise think that?"

"Father" she pouted. Isadora the Wise was something that the ministers came up with after she created some laws that would help the citizens of Rakha. She had been very active in helping her brother with his policies and had been doing a lot to change the rights of the women in the Kingdom.

While many called her wise, some people called her incredibly stupid because of how she stood up against them when it comes to women's rights. However, Isadora thought that she was only doing the right thing especially when it came to how their society treated women. She was only fighting for her right.

"Tell me," the King said.

"The Duke has been known for his cruel ways. Hethe other Empires dislike him. Moreover, he killed all of his brides in the past. I do not see any healthy interaction with him."

"So this was about the woman who died."

"No. Of course not. This was about the war. The beasts."

"You do understand that the Empires have abandoned us, no?"

"Well"

"Since they abandoned us. I do not see any reason for us to hold back. If the Duke would give us a better offer then I am going to work with him."

"What could he offer? He is but"

"But a what?"

"No. We are not going to let the beasts destroy Rakha. We are only going to show them that working with the Duke is a terrible decision. The only ones that could save them are us. Call a meeting with the other Blessed Families. Tonight, the beasts will attack Rakha and just as they are about to lose their hope we will arrive."

"We will save them." Ena smiled. "Also bring Lurea to me. It is time to make her do something."

"Yes, Your Blessedness."

Not long after, Lurea arrived. As always, she was wearing a hood to hide her unpleasant face. She had her head lowered after she bowed at Ena.

"Have you learned your lesson?"

"Yes, Your Blessedness," her voice had become hoarse, but this did not bother Ena.

"The Duke is someone that you cannot touch, however, this does not mean that we are going to just let everything go," Ena said. "I want you to kill someone for me." She narrowed at the large map of the north on her table.

When Lurea said nothing, Ena continued. "The woman who was with the Duke that time she is working with a sorcerer. I want you to isolate that woman and kill her. Kill the Duke's bride."

"Yes, Your Blessedness."

"I want you to make her suffer, to burn her skin until she is unrecognizable."

"Yes, Your Blessedness."

"Then the sorcerer that is working with her I want you to kill it too! Punish them for their mistakes. There is no need to hold back. I want you to let the world know that it was someone who can wield lightning who did it. Let this be a lesson to the ones who wanted to become our enemies," Ena started laughing ominously. "Do you understand me? My daughter?"

"Yes, Your Blessedness," Lurea answered without an iota of emotion in her voice.
