Chapter 65: Its you, your majesty

Bree rose from the bed in a jiffy, stunned at the sudden emergency, till last night everything was all right then what happened all of a sudden? As she slid out of the bed, she was on the verge of rushing out and opening the door when Ahmar stopped her. " Your majesty, are you going to answer the door looking like that?"

" Looking like what?" she asked a bit impatient as she turned her head to look at Ahmar, whatever he has to say at the moment, right now wasn’t the time, okay? She needed to see what happened in just one night to make Xander shout like that.

" Looking like that," he answered while pointing to her torso causing Bree to look down as soon as she lowered her head and almost screamed out loud. Damn, she was in such a hurry that she forgot about the racy night dress she was wearing at the moment, however, thinking about how she used to wear swimsuits on the beach in front of other men, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Ahmar. " Is it a problem, if I answer the door like this?"

Ahmar has learned his lesson from the incident last time, he didn’t say anything against her instead he smiled softly and said, " Its a problem indeed, but not because your majesty is dressed like that—— the problem lies in the fact that I have to look for a new aide if your majesty was to open the door like that."

"Why would you look for a new aide," asked Bree sounding quite amused at his words, from what she saw yesterday it was clear how loyal Xander was to Ahmar, so what was Ahmar thinking about replacing his loyal subordinate with someone else?

" Well, this one will have his head rolling on the ground, if he saw you like this, so of course, I will have to look for another aide," answered Ahmar as he quietly smiled at Bree who was left speechless by his answer. What did he say? No, wait —- did he just say that he will send Xander’s head rolling just because he saw her in a night dress? Then what about all those years that Xander spent looking out for Ahmar? He was even prepared to take her on yesterday and this was how he was repaid?

Bree wasn’t the only one who was thinking like that, Xander who heard everything with his quick senses also felt like all the years of his loyalty has been fed to a dog. Was his master serious? He was the one who took care of him, even fought with the Queen for the sake of his master and this was how he was repaid? With the threat of sending his head flying?

Your head!

Xander had an urge to bang his fists on the door but he somehow managed to stop himself from doing it and breathed in and out as he lowered his clenched fists down and then with a fake smile said, "It’s all right your majesty. Please take your time, it is an emergency but not that much of an emergency, we can still manage two minutes at the most."

His head ... for his precious head! He was willing to make this concession!

Dion who was watching everything happen in front of him: "....." actually, we do not have even two minutes to spare.

As he opened his mouth, Xander whipped his head and hauntingly whispered, " Do you have what is needed to watch my head roll on the ground huh? Do you really hate me that much huh Dion? If you say anything and the Queen came out and my head went flying, I swear I will haunt you."

" .... You are a vampire."

" I will still manage to haunt you somehow, don’t underestimate my vengeance."

Bree also didn’t want an innocent guy’s head to be sent flying in the morning, so she went inside the bathroom and changed her clothes. Though this small incident was enough to remind her what kind of psycho freak her mate really was, and if that wasn’t enough, he also seemed to have a very bad jealous streak.

" Can I open the door now?" she asked while pointing at the door with her thumb over her shoulder and Ahmar smiled at her until his eyes crinkled. " By all due means, yes you can your majesty."

She heaved a sigh as she walked towards the door and opened it, only to find Xander staring at his polished shoes like he seemed to have found something interesting. Rolling her eyes, she said, "It’s safe, you can raise your head—— stop looking at your shoes you are making my neck strain."

Almost immediately Xander raised his head and Dion who seemed to have been standing out of sight walked out with a polite smile and both of them bowed in greeting consecutively one after another.

" Glory to the Sun of the Dragniere Empire!"

" I greet the Sun of the Dragniere Empire."

"Rise," said Bree with her hand raised in permission. " What’s wrong? Why are you two in such a hurry? It’s still early in the morning."

" Your majesty, there seemed to have been an urgent issue that needs your concern," said Dion in an unhurried motion but Bree could see the urgency in his eyes and expression, he seemed a lot more unsettled than his usual calm and controlled self.

" What happened?" asked Bree

"It Duke Cilantro, your majesty." Dion handed her a pile of documents that could be considered nothing but demurrals. " This morning he increased the tax charges saying that he received permission from you, your majesty and the ministers after learning this got so angry that they have been sending complaints letters ever since morning, saying that they will not attend the court and won’t go to their respective offices if they don’t receive a formal explanation from you, your majesty."

"He increased the taxes?" asked Bree sounding both shocked and worried. " But we never accepted his proposal! Didn’t I say that the document will be kept aside until we receive a proper report about what was going on in his territory, so who agreed to it?"

Dion hesitated as he exchanged a glance with Xander who shrugged and winced causing Bree’s eyebrows to scrunch up. " Well?" She prodded.

"It’s you, your majesty."
