Hugo said, "I actually know soone. I will invite her to co and see you, Your Grace."
"Then, go! I don't have all day," said Karenina curtly.
Hugo nodded respectfully and turned around to leave the room to carry out Karenina's orders. He returned in the evening with a witch nad Gwen.
Gwen was a middle-aged witch with dark skin and long curly hair. She wore a beautiful robe with feathers as accessories. She smiled when she entered the room and see Karenina, but she didn't bother bowing down her head to show her respect.
Her kind didn't pay respects to humans that way. Usually, those who needed her help would overlook this and let her act as she pleased. Karenina was really annoyed by Gwen's casual attitude, but she didn't have a choice but to pretend not to see it. At this mont, she really needed Gwen's help.
"Hello, Your Grace," Gwen introduced herself. "My na is Gwen and Hugo here told that you have a big reward for if I could make you the potion you need."
Karenina raised an eyebrow at Hugo and told him to go. "Leave us."
Hugo bowed his head and said, "Will do, Your Grace."
After Hugo left and closed the door behind him, Karenina crossed her arms and spoke to Gwen without further ado. "I need a potion to get rid of the baby in my stomach."
Gwen didn't bat an eye when she heard the request. She sat down on a chair and dug into her bag. It seed she had whatever potion Karenina would ever want. The princess could hear the clanking sounds of bottles coming from the leather bag.
Gwen forked out a small bottle with brown liquid and showed it to Karenina. "Ahh.. that's quite a popular potion. I always bring it with when I am seeing new female clients."
Karenina's brows winced when she heard Gwen's words. So, she was right. The witch did have the potion already. "Good. Now give it to ."
"I don't like small talk, I just like money," Gewen raised the bottle. "So let's get straight to the point, how much money can you give if I give you this potion."
"If the potion works well, whatever price you ask for I'll give it to you."
Hearing Karenina's words, Gwen laughed.
"I like custors who don't bargain much," she said then handed the bottle to Karenina. "By the way what made you want to abort that child. Isn't it the child of King Nicholas? Does the king not want to acknowledge the child?"
"Well, that's how it is," Karenina replied curtly.
"You must be mad at him."
"I am," Karenina scoffed. "I am so mad that I want to kill him."
Gwen looked deep into Karenina's eyes and could see the imnse hatred that the woman had for the king.
"Well, if you want, I can help you," said Gwen with a smile. Her words made Karenina furrow her brows. Gwen imdiately added, "That is if you are serious about it... ahaha.. if not, forget I ever said anything."
Karenina stared at Gwen with narrowed eyes. Could this witch really help her?
"Why do you want to help ?" she decided to ask Gwen's motive.
"Because you can give a lot of money," Gwen said then smirked. "Money is my language."
Karenina was silent. She never thought about taking down Nicholas directly. She knew she didn't have that kind of power.
That's why she tried to instigate Noel and the Royal Lycan Hunter. However... what if SHE could really do sothing to make sure that Nicholas would pay?
That would be sweet, sweet revenge.
"What can you do?" she asked Gwen .
The witch shrugged nonchalantly. "Basically, anything you want."
Damn!
Karenina's heart was pounding. Anything she wanted? This witch seed so confident as if she could really do whatever Karenina asked.
This was so great. Karenina watched Gwen intently and tried to see if she could trust this witch's words. Well... at this point, she had got nothing to lose anyway.
So, finally, Karenina nodded in agreent.
"Okay, but I don't want to make the king die easily I want to see him suffer and make the king fall along with his throne," said Karenina, sounding so hateful.
"Okay," Gwen nodded. "Do you have a plan to overthrow the king?"
Karenina pursed her lips and shook her head. "No.. not yet."
She had only thought about torturing Nicholas emotionally by making him feel guilty about her abortion. She didn't yet have anything planned, except maybe... if the Royal Lycan Hunter would do sothing after she told Noel that Nicholas was a lycan.
"Nothing at all?" Gwen probed.
"Ugh... well, I plan to use this potion from you to abort this child, and later I will accuse the king of killing his unborn child," explained Karenina.
"Not bad," said Gwen, nodding her head and then said, "If you want to overthrow the king and his throne, I have a suggestion."
Karenina furrowed her brows again and looked at Gwen with a look that said, 'what is that?'
Gwen finally told Karenina about the Obsidian San Pack, a group of power-hungry lycans. "Not long ago they succeeded in taking over the throne of the Kingdom of Arria and do you know, what did their Alpha do to the King of Arria?"
"What?" asked Karenina, she looked very curious.
"The Alpha of the Obsidian Sand Pack chained the king like a dog and then tortured the people of Arria before the king's eyes. Imagine if what happened to the King of Arria happened to King Nicholas Hanenbergh, your heart would be very satisfied to see him suffer." Gwen smirked again.
Karenina's eyes bulged. This sounded sooooo good!
She was tempted. Just by imagining King Nicholas experiencing what the King of Arria experienced, Karenina was already feeling very happy. She couldn't wait to make it happen.
She even closed her eyes to imagine the sight. Ahh... Nicholas, you would look good in chains, she thought to herself.
