Chapter 190: Change of plans

" I will go and take a look at the place," said Yakov as the compass pointed to the far west, he looked too calm as if he wasn’t talking about infiltrating a place that must be under tight watch of the Duke, instead it seemed as if he was going to look out for a picnic spot that anyone could trespass if they wanted.

Bree didn’t want to make herself sound worried or concerned but at the same time staying silent wouldn’t have been nice either, so she suppressed her urge to stay quiet and let the men do his job and parted her lips before throwing out a small, " take care."

It would have been great if she has remained quiet because when Yakov turned to look at her, there was something in his gaze that she hasn’t ever seen. He looked wildly delighted that she has shown concern about him ever so slightly now she was torn between feeling guilty and awkward. She didn’t want to get to these men but at the same time if she wanted to stay alive then she has to be close to them. They were the key to her survival, no matter how strong she was, she, of course, cannot fight against four dominant males who were more wise and scheming than her.

In the mirror, she has seen Yakov and the other three being the key figures for raising Harley to the top. Though she wasn’t a woman who would like a man belittling her at every turn or dominating her when she didn’t want to submit to him, these four men were the key figures of this world. As long as she could catch hold of them, she would be able to make it out alive of this place.

Was she selfish for thinking like this? Yes. After staying here for so long she more or less understood that Yakov and the other consorts were living persons like her and everyone else she knew in her world. They had feelings and they felt pain, anger, anguish and everything else just as she did but she was a selfish woman. She might not be the leading lady of the world, and she may not have the confidence to rule the world but she wanted to stay alive.

And if that means getting close to these men and seducing them like the leading lady, faking her affection for the sake of survival. She was willing to do it, it wasn’t as if this was her body. The Dragon Queen wasn’t a virgin and even if she was to feel uncomfortable, it wasn’t as important as staying alive.

What was more, she raised her head and looked at the two men in front of her, though they were vicious psychopaths and had little too emotions than she would have liked at least they were good-looking.

So, when Yakov looked at her with those amber eyes, she smiled at him curling her red lips in a way that made her look like she was indeed dependent on him. She wasn’t going to submit to him but it didn’t mean that she couldn’t pretend it either. " Come soon, first consort."

Yakov hitched a brow up as he looked at her not knowing what she was thinking and Bree right then and there felt really bad about her plans but not as much as she did in the greenhouse. She believed that she could live a peaceful life as long as she stayed away from these four men but she forgot that there was more to her life being ruined than just being killed.

She might be a different soul but she was still their mate in body, what if these men couldn’t kill her? What if they wanted to stay with the leading lady as they were destined to but just like Yakov said they needed her alive if they wanted to stay alive as well?

After all, that maid who lost her mate in the hands of the golem passed away three nights later they buried the knight. It was a shock that Bree wasn’t prepared to take and she has stayed in the denial for a long time but when the young female’s body was taken out to be buried, she realised that the bonds were real. They were as true as she and everyone else in this world, so if she was to die there was a chance that these men might die as well.

Then wouldn’t it mean that whatever whether the future or her fears she saw in the mirror would come true?

Being locked up like a pet was worse than death.

Bree didn’t want that to happen and for the sake of avoiding that she has to keep holding on to these men like a parasite until and unless they broke the bond and allowed her to escape from them.

" I will your majesty," her sudden closeness might have surprised Yakov but he didn’t say anything, she was glad that he didn’t question her sudden show of concern for him because if she was being honest, she, herself didn’t know what to say to him.

She thought that he would hop out of the balcony and leave but she seemed to have underestimated his shamelessness. Taking advantage of her newfound concern for him, Yakov drew her in his arms, making her stomach flip over. Oh, she may or may not have forgotten to mention that ever since she broke through whatever restraints that were holding Saphira back, her body has actively decided to pursue —— the ’Get laid’ plan.

She hasn’t found Yakov’s voice Uber-sexy before as she did now, the second he flushed her against her, her nerve endings sprung to life and then her blood started to heat up as if she was dying under a pile of snow and Yakov was the only thing that could save her.

He buried his face into her neck and murmured, " I don’t know what you are thinking your majesty but don’t tease me too much." He leaned in closer, brushing his lips against her nape before pulling away.

Bree raised her head and looked at his eyes that were glowing with a golden glint and swallowed hard.
