Chapter 130: Start a rebellion

Jesse heard the soft croon and he immediately stood up straight from the ground, after his master went inside the Dragon Palace, he was sitting idly by the wall of the palace playing cards with the gardener and the servant boys working inside the palace. He looked in the direction from where the soft croon came and looked down at his cards with an agitated sigh, he was going to win this round! With frustration marring his expression, he smiled apologetically at the other three men and said, " I will come back again someday to play with you guys, right now I need to go and see what my master wants from me."

The other three men nodded while a bubbly-looking servant boy said, " Yes, go ahead and check, Sir Jesse ...l we always play here, if you want then you can come and look for us anytime you wish to see us." The gardener and the other servant boy nodded along with what the bubbly boy spoke and Jesse patted him on his shoulder. " I will come back as soon as I get another day as free time to enjoy myself, I will come and have fun with you all."

Then he jogged off to the direction from where the sound came from and went to look for his master. Seeing him go, the bubbly boy looked at his two playmates and sighed, " The aides of the consorts don’t have it easy either, they might be paid really well but look at how much rush they are always in."

" That’s true," the gardener smoked his cigar and peered at the direction in which Jesse ran off to. " When I was young, I was chosen as the aide of the consort because of my weak animal and I can assure you that woman’s mood changed every second day of her life. I am kind of glad that the woman died, in fact when her head rolled down the ground I was one of those who cheered for the Empress, I swear serving the consorts is never an easy job."

" Someone go and tell this to my mum, she believes that serving the consorts is a wonderful thing, has been going on and on at the top of her head for days." The other servant boy said with a sigh.

" I will once I get a way to deal with my own mum," chortled the bubbly boy as the group of three burst out laughing.

Jesse didn’t know that his job was being considered as one of the hardest in the Empire, he just rushed to the direction from where the cry came and muttered a spell, " Diastrofeas." As he muttered the spell he moved his wrists in a circular motion one on top of another as the dome-shaped protection shield hummed and brimmed with energy before a small hole big enough for a man to slide out of it opened.

He watched as his master gracefully jumped out of the dome shaped protective shield and came to stand next to his master. " Do you feel all right master, is there something that you would like to eat once we go back?"

Usually every time Cian returned from the Dragon palace, his mood would be running low, as if he looked at the sullen expression on Cian’s face, Jesse thought that something unpleasant might have happened at the palace with the Queen once again, thus he asked Cian about the mid night snack that he wanted to have.

" Bring me some wine, some really, really good wine," Cian wasn’t in a sour mood because of Bree but because of what she said, his relationship with her has always been clear cut—— he was her stress reliever and she was his way to revive his kingdom back. Simple as that before this, he never felt wrong about using her powers to give special preference to his kingdom because it has always been a give and take relationship.

However, if she was to refuse him from giving it to her then how was he going to take what he wanted to take with him? Even now he felt guilty as hell for lying to her like that, he knew that he was going to kiss Harley in the evening but he made some excuse and acted as if he wasn’t wrong earlier on, in fact, he even thought that kissing Harley was sort of a payback to the Queen for all the pain she has given him but .... The thing was that she was acting differently than she should and that was causing the line between the two of them to dwindle.

It wasn’t right and he didn’t like it.

She was getting to him in a way like a certain woman did ages ago and he was very well aware of what happened between him and that woman. There was no way he was going to let another redo of what happened to him in the past happen again.

Jesse was surprised by Cian’s request but he obliged at once.

When the two of them returned to the palace, he brought Cian one of the oldest wines in the cellar and poured quite a generous amount of it into the glass. "Did something happen at the Dragon palace, my lord?"

Cian picked up the glass and took a sip tasting the slightly spicy and sweet alcohol before saying, " The Queen is not playing by the rules, it’s getting tricky to play with her." He swirled the alcohol in the glass and narrowed his eyes. This was supposed to be a game that they all had to play with certain rules that were stacked without them knowing it but now those rules were dwindling and the lines they drew between themselves were slowly turning hazy.

It was such a scary feeling that Cian couldn’t control it.

" Did the Queen do something unexpected again?" asked Jesse from barricading the consorts to announcing a law that gave omegas the right to defend themselves, the Queen has done a lot of things that were completely out of the expectations of many people.

" She did and I have to say, she blew me off my feet..now... I don’t know what step to take."

Bree was assaulted by the sunlight first thing in the morning as soon as she woke up, her head was hurting like she might have offered it to be played as a drum and her entire view of the room was swirling in front of her eyes.

" Oh so you are finally up," she hardly got a chance to sit up straight when she heard a voice that was a lot familiar. Shaking her head, she turned her gaze to the tea table that was sitting in front of the fireplace and said, " What are you doing here, Miss Cordelia?"

Cordelia twirled a strand of her hair and looked at Bree with a smile. " I am here to have a little talk with you before you leave, today."

Only then did Bree remember that she might have drunk herself as badly as a skunk just a night before her departure to Duke Cilantro’s territory. " Are you here to say goodbye to me?" As far as Bree was concerned, she has taken care of everything that Cordelia asked her to do, surely she must have been here to say goodbye? She couldn’t have been more wrong.

She watched as Cordelia jumped off the chair and walked towards her bed with a smile that was nothing like a smile. " I am but there is another reason for my visit and I believe that you will surely like that as well."

Nothing that came out of this woman’s mouth would have made Bree like it but she still said, " What is it?" She asked while rubbing her head and looking at the woman who was smiling like a sly fox.

" I want you to take that maid called Harley with you to the Duke’s territory," this time all the dizziness that Bree was suffering from vanished as she looked at Cordelia and said, " No, there is no way that’s going to happen. She is just a laundry maid why will I take her to a Duke’s territory?" And since when did Cordelia become NPC all of a sudden why was she supporting Harley out of nowhere?

" That laundry maid seems to have a lot of ideas in her head, do you know what I heard?" With a twirl, she hopped on Bree’s bed and winked at her. " Tell me that you want to hear it, tell me, tell me!"

Bree snorted, rolling her eyes she pushed herself off the bed. " Most probably how to seduce one of my mates when I am gone, what else?"

" Boo, you are totally wrong," with her hands making a big cross Cordelia pouted her lips and said, " That maid was talking about how she can steal the dragon’s heart from the treasury of the Palace and start a rebellion in the Empire."
