Chapter 250 250: The Plan For Assult [Pt1]



“Alright everyone, you all have your roles, right? We will storm the queen’s castle tomorrow so get ready.”

The little goddess watched from her hidden seat as the rebellion took shape in front of her eyes. All these people had a common goal here - to get the queen off her throne.

And the one who was leading the rebellion was Freshia Wells, the one person the realm key had responded to and she currently showed evidence of it in her eyes. They had changed from normal ones to star-shaped ones.

Now, not a lot of people knew what it meant but the higher-ranking nobles knew that it was a symbol of the queen’s power. And it led them to believe that the former lover was someone the queen had taken advantage of.

But not everyone was happy with this new entry into the rebellion.

The former queen of the rebellion, Huye, looked pissed off and agitated. Her magic had faded once this new figure had shown and shaken things.

Now Huye hardly had anyone paying her attention and loving her. It was a shame because Huye had potential as well.

But the little goddess could only develop one person at a time and she chose to accompany Freshia Wells this time.

“Lady Wells, I hope you have a plan. We will not be able to storm the palace as we like. We will also need to have a ‘scapegoat’ in case things do not work out.”

The noble who had recently joined the rebellion spoke. He was a greedy person who only cared about the profit he would reap once the monarch changed.

Most of the nobility had joined the rebellion to profit only. They did not care who sat on the throne most of the time.

“Do not worry. I assured you that the Abstel household would take all the blame if we failed to pull things off. I planted enough evidence in that household for it not to help us out.”

It had been easy for Huye to maneuver around Rui and decide. Now it would be over for Rui if they failed. But it was also Rui’s punishment for not looking after Freshia when she should have.

The nobles looked a lot more assured once they had someone they could blame if things went wrong. It was also why they decided to stop complaining.

Now things were set in motion and people were ready to move out. Freshia took charge once again and pointed out the hidden hallways they would be using to get into the castle.

“We will be meeting here tomorrow so make sure you come on time.”

With that, Freshia dismissed everyone and she also knew it was time to go back home. Rui was waiting for Freshia and she still needed to establish the finishing touches to the masterpiece.

‘Do not worry Rui. I will not be going down alone if I did go out. You will be coming right with me as my person.’

Freshia did not tale betrayals well and she would especially not take it well if it came from Rui.

………………………

“Another one? Just how many of these did Freshia hide in my home? It will take too long to comb my mansion out and to uproot everything she did.”

Rui sighed as she pulled up another piece of evidence Freshia had planted in her house to convince people that Rui was a traitor. It was a pain in her ass but Rui needed to make sure her house was combed of these things.

She knew that Freshia was going to do something foolish soon and Rui did not want to be a part of it.

“Rui, I am back. Did you have fun without me?”

Freshia finally came back and she sounded drunk. She was even swaying on her feet and Rui was sure her breath would have the smell of alcohol if she went out and sniffed it.

‘Ouch, but isn’t this good for me? Freshia has no alcohol tolerance and she is not able to hold her tongue once she starts drinking. I will be able to force the truth out of her now.’

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Rui had a plan and for that to work, she needed to act a little. But that was not a problem for Rui who had been acting ever since she could remember.

“Freshia, hurry up and come in. You do not want to catch a cold, right?”

Rui pulled Freshia inside and Freshia followed without complaint. She wobbled into the room and then stopped short as she watched the vase which Rui had been trying to crack open.

Laughter bubbled out in Freshia’s throat as she did her best to suppress it. She did not want to give away that she had done something to the vase. But she could help herself now that the alcohol was in her system. She had to laugh out loud.

"Oh, this is a trap you will not see coming, Rui. And this is not the only one. I h-hid more of them all around. And you will never find them all.”

Freshia promised as she was forced to sit down on the chair by Rui. Suddenly, Rui had a feeling that Freshia would do anything and tell her anything if she asked. All she needed to do was to use a little bit of her power.

“Oh, do you hide more of these small gifts for me, Freshia? Mind telling me where you hid them?”

Rui asked as she let more and more of her power out. She was sure that Freshia would begin to loosen up even more as time passed.

As Rui expected, Freshia relaxed and went limp in front of her. Her eyes were also glazed over with sleep and magic.

“N-Not telling you that I hid some in your bedroom and behind the hidden cellar in the kitchen. And especially not telling you about the floor storage I accidentally found in the back shed where you keep the hay and….”

Slowly but surely, Freshia ended up telling Rui every place where she hid the evidence. It was a long but meaningful conversation that benefitted Rui a lot. She was happy to allow Freshia to sleep once she was done.
