William pov contd
"Oh. so finally my scumbag brother had protected soone. Don't tell she is special to you." there was amusent in her eyes and a smirk ford on her lips. I did not know why she was here and asking for Abi. I have kept an eye on the way they have interacted with each other.
Though Josephine bullied her, she had an affinity towards Abi, that was why I let it be. But now the way she was asking, why did it sound like an alarm bell was ringing in my ears.
"Of course, all the beautiful girls are special to . Especially the one with the feisty attitude. I love the challenge in winning them over and then having them for myself. So, if you want to take revenge from her about anything or want to tornt her for fun, you have to wait till I am done with her.`` I replied with a smirk, as if I was not talking about a human at all.
She looked surprised as I saw a change in her calm expression for a fraction of a second.
But she went back to her normal self then.
I nodded my head and asked, "So what do you want to know about her, her highness?"
She closed her eyes and tilted her head as she looked back at . It was clear that she was trying to hide her anger over my statent. It gave the desired relief to my heart. If she felt anger, it ans she did not want to hurt Abi, at least, not for now.
"Do you even realise that you are talking about a human. A girl to be precise." she asked and I chuckled.
"Of course, I am talking about a girl, who is also an alluring one. I still did not have interest in boys or else leo would have been a good choice too.'' I shook my head and then laughed again.
finally her façade was broken, she was looking a bit shocked this ti. But she didn't say anything about my statent over Leo.
"Abigail saved my life today. So, I owe her one favour. I want her to work under to return it." finally my fast beating heart that was about to jump out of the ribcage, relaxed.
"Ha! Since then, working under you has been a favor! And I did not let my target go that easily. So, I didn't even think about getting her away from before I was done." i knew it sounded very cruel but she was not safe so i needed to keep her closer.
When it cos to Abigail, I did not even trust Jose or My three knights.
"I would not let you play with her. She had saved so it is my duty to save her from you." she snarled, making abused.
"Jose, do not think that I would fall in your trap. You better leave the intention of taking my night away. And if there is nothing else, I would leave, I have matters to attend to '' I replied and she gritted her teeth.
I was about to turn when she spoke again, "what if i have sothing to give you in exchange."
"And that is?" I asked to see a smirk forming on her lips.
"I can give up my right to get the throne. You would be the sole heir then." to say that i was shocked would be an understatent.
She was ready to leave her right over the throne just to save Abigail from ! It was not like she was ambitious to get the empire for herself. But her mother was! That cruel empress was the sole reason for my act and the hatred between us siblings. If she had not killed the concubine of the emperor and our youngest brother have not attempted suicide, we would have been living like a happy family.
Though it sounds strange but instead of being the child of a different mother. We used to love each other a lot. But that incident made Josephine realise that we are not her real blood related brothers but the contenders of the throne who could snatch her right to be the future empress.
From that day all the love and car vanished. And we beca strangers sharing the sa roof. But why was she ready to give up her right so easily! Did she not know that her mother would not bat an eyelid when killing her if she could not get what she desired.
I shook my head because of her ignorance. She was still living under that dark veil, away from reality.
"Do you think you even have it right over it? You are nothing but a weak girl that even lost the competition from a young girl and got injured. You neither have the social image nor the prowess to win against . So, by what right are you offering the throne?
On second thought, I am content with the way I am living. I do not have the desire to take the responsibilities over my shoulder. It is better that you beco the queen and let the empire ruin. I did not care a bit. Now if you are done, i am busy.'' I replied as I turned and this ti she did not call.
She was too stunned to call . I could see the utter shock and horror in her eyes. I hope that my provocation was enough to light the fire of winning the throne in her heart. I would be glad to serve her all my life if she ruled fairly.
I was just afraid that if she would be the ruler the reign of her mother would be stronger. If that happened the whole place would be a hell.
I walked out and finally climbed on my horse. Kirian, who was standing at so distance and listening to everything, looked at with worried eyes.
"Are you alright, your highness?" he asked with so hesitation and I just chuckled.
"Is it sothing new? Are we not already over with the feeling of familial love?" I chuckled, though I could feel the wetness forming in my eyes. No matter how many tis it had been, I still could not see the hatred in her eyes.
