All of the men along with the girl looked up and were dumbfounded at seeing the sight.
On the top of the roof stood a woman who wore black clothes and her face was covered with a veil while her waist-long air fluttered and danced crazily in the air.
The tight robbed clothes weren’t able to hide her curves but rather make her figure more sizzling and voluptuous.
Gulp!
The men swallow their saliva while staring at her and even the girl couldn’t help but take a look to praise her beauty which seemed quite unreal.
She didn’t know who she was but at least her presence had delayed the inevitable.
“Oh! You can stare all you want men after all this is your last night.” She spoke with a soft innocent voice full of warmth and love which clouded the men’s minds but only she knew that her voice was their death sentence.
She raised her fingers and twirled her finger while fiddling it a little.
With just a simple gesture from her finger, the strings wrapped around everyone in motion which held them tightly.
The faint light of the moon reflected from the strings and many found that the entire area had been laid with string which glistened faintly.
And with the motion of her finger, the strings wrapped around people tightened and cuts appeared from their wounds and blood trickled down from the wounds and started to dye the string.
“Ahhhhhhhh!
All the men present out their screams with horror and started to beg.
” Please spare us.”
?? ? ?? n ? ???
“Have mercy.”
“We will leave the place immediately, please spare us.”
The people screamed and groaned in pain as they found themselves in such a life threatening situation.
“What a sweet and pleasant voice.”
“Didn’t you want to do things with the girl? Why don’t you try it now?” The woman spoke with a soothing tone.
Words choked on the men’s throats as they heard the woman’s words who seemed to enjoy herself seeing their agony.
Seeing them staring at her with mouths agape, she clicker her tongue.
“Tsk…Tsk…You are no fun.” The woman spoke and clenched her fist.
Swizzz…
All the strings vibrated following which blood-splattered and a deathly agony permeated the atmosphere and with this many pieces of limbs fell.
The heads of the men burst and popped like watermelon.
The girl looked at the horrifying scene and was utterly disgusted by seeing the cruel scene.
Head, limbs and arms and every piece of their body were cut down by the strings.
Blood splattered on her face which gave her an urge to puke.
She turned her head and averted her gaze but as soon as she turned her head, a shadow flashed before her and the woman appeared before her within an instant and held her chin.
“What a beauty?” The woman spoke with a smile underneath her veil.
“I….I.Please don’t kill me.” The girl muttered after mustering her strength.
“Don’t worry, you are safe now.”
“No, scum will dare to lay a hand on you from now” The woman spoke and her figure disappeared within an instant in the darkness of night leaving the girl surprised.
……..
A figure like a flash appeared before an old shabby building.
Tap…Tap…Tap…
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the guards wanted to ask who came here but seeing the black-dressed woman, they bowed their heads and opened the door.
“This servant greets the queen.”
The woman nodded and entered the shabby building and walked towards the underground basement.
Many people dressed in black clothes had been stationed there and each of them was squire ranked.
All of them saluted her as she walked past them and entered a wide-open area.
In the middle of it, a huge throne was present.
Ignoring everyone, she walked up and sat on the throne folding her legs.
Seeing her taking the position, many people present out there bowed down and spoke.
“We greet the Shadow Queen.”
“We greet the Shadow Queen.”
The woman’s eyes were as sharp as a sword and she had an expression of forlornness on her face.
Only those who were in high positions knew that this lady was none other than their Queen.
In the day, she was a King’s wife and his caretaker and took care of official matters while at night she became the grim reaper of night.
The entity who lurks in shadow and hunts in shadow preventing any misfortune from occurring In Nevan in her Lord’s absence.
If Alex would be present now, he would have screamed asking who is she? What happened to my lovely, sweet and innocent Riya who always had a smile on her face.
“Kajar, how is the situation?”
“Your Highness, the situation is quite odd.”
“In recent days, there has been an influx of mercenaries in Nevan.”
“We were not able to uncover the cause of this but the mercenaries are running amok here and are causing trouble.”
“And they…”
“Cut them down.”
Before Kajar could finish the report, he heard Riya’s words and the words that were about to come out were almost choked in his throat.
“Your Highness.This….”
“I said cut them down. Anyone who dares to cause trouble is akin to disrespecting Nevan’s new laws and order set by My Lord which is akin to going against my Lord.”
“Scum, like these, need to be killed. It’s better to cut the weeds before they can grow fully.”
“They are lucky that My Lord isn’t present, otherwise even a simple death is also a blessing for them.”
Hearing Riya’s words everyone felt a chill down their spine.
No one can deny this matter, if Alex was here, the entire capital may have already been dyed with blood.
Alex would even start the festival of blood where the person who killed the most would get awarded.
Everyone could imagine the scene of Alex hanging the mercenaries naked displaying them as a piece of art and shouting at the top of his lungs.
“Come and Experience Nevan’s exclusive heavenly treatment which was filled with benefits.”
“If you want to experience the heavenly treatment of Nevan, you just need to commit a crime after which you will be pleasured by us like never before.’
“So, be quick.”
Everyone imagined the same thing and their body trembled in fear.
“Kajar, dispatch the entire squad of Night Hawks and also keep an eye on Wright’s border, I feel Wright had been preparing for war.”
“We need to dispatch some troops in case of war so I want some of you to infiltrate Amidone,” Riya ordered.
Riya knew Catherine’s character. Unless required she will not ask for others’ help and will try to do everything by herself.
Moreover, knowing the war coming near, she would be quite busy and might haven’t heard about the recent events of Nevan.
So, Riya had to set everything for her Lord so that he didn’t have to wait to take action.
Moreover, she didn’t want her Lord to return to see Nevan in such a messed up state.
Without Alex, it was her duty to handle all the things and she wanted to do it perfectly so that she can prove that she is worthy of Alex’s trust and being of one his wives to stand by his side.
After all, of all his Lord’s wives, she is the only one who didn’t have an official status like all others.
“Now dismiss,” Riya ordered.
As soon as they left, Riya sighed heavily and looked at the ceiling which had gaps and the light of the moon shone brightly between the chasms.
Looking at the bright moon, Riya muttered with a disheartening tone”My Lord, when are you going to return.”
“Without you, everything looks stale.Do you also think about me like I think about you?”
