A scream of misery was echoing in the basement, enhancing my fury by the effortless wails. My emerald eyes were overflowing with the urge to kill Prince.
"She is alive. That motherfucker hid her."
A snarl escaped my lips in pure fury while pushing my brown hairs behind, urging to rip Prince apart for daring to conceal Cinzel's identity like this.
How could he do this to me? Just because he was told to protect her that didn’t mean he had to hide her from me.
“How dare he…”
All these years I was deprived of the warmth of my own sister, she probably wasn't even aware of my existence. I won't forgive him.
"I told you." Amanda shrugged, she had been working as my agent for a while in Silvester mansion.
Amanda and De Villiers, both of them are my right hands.
De Villiers settle surface works while Amanda handle the dirty ones like murdering and torture that was why only selective people know her and she snuck in their place easily with a little disguise.
“Though I had my fun, Boss. I love children, she is an adorable child. Congratulations, you are an uncle now. She is Sky’s mother after all.” She giggled, pinching my nerves.
“Shut up, Amanda.” I growled, sealing her lips instantly.
I doubt Cinzel was alive and was resolved if she was-
Prince would definitely bring her there- he did. Scoffing, I slammed my hand on the table.
"As if I am going to let Prince lure her into non-existent innocence or manipulate her."
My hissing sound was on par with the painful cries and I had enough of Amanda torturing him.
"Shut his mouth or cut his goddamned tongue off." I snarled, glaring at her to not irritate me further.
“Sure.” She giggled but I raised from my seat and pushed her out of the way, glaring at the man tied down with blood dripping from him.
“That asshole Sufiyan. Does he think he could get away with pointing a rifle at my Zari?” I growled under my breath, punching him which probably broke his jaw.
“End him and send him back to India, Amanda.” I ordered her dominantly to silence my prey.
"Yes, Boss." She nodded.
I sighed loudly, wiping the blood from my knuckles. I didn’t know why but I couldn’t control myself when it came to her.
"I must tell you, Cinzel-"
Amanda began to tell me but I shot her a glare.
"Cinzel?" A scowl indicated to Amanda about the way to address Cinzel.
"Madam Cinzel doesn't recognize but she is reaching the dark side. Her mind is atrocious like her mother but obviously nothing in your comparison." She replied, licking her lips seductively.
"What do you mean?" I asked, taking a seat again.
"She is manipulating Zaniel about killing Prince and gaining Prince's trust on the other hand by using Sky. It's clear when she will become the Queen-"
She was explaining but upon hearing Queen a chuckle escape my lips.
"Queen?" I asked with a dark smirk.
"Prince made her believe she will be a Queen." She hummed, killing the guy and washing her hands.
"Yeah, if she was proven capable enough to manage Issac or Axel then we will see." I muttered, leaning back and rubbing my temples.
"Well, she is my sister, of course, if she wants to consider that position of a Queen then let her." I added but then this asshole De Villiers decided to interrupt.
“I thought you promised~” He cooed, smirking maliciously at me.
I warned him seriously to not bring that in between, “Shut up, De Villiers.”
“Are you going to make your sister a window? My, how devastated she would be. First meeting leading to death. Tch, tch, tch,”
He tested my patience which was already non-existent now. Scowling, I took out my gun and pointed it at him. He stopped instantly, putting his hand in the air.
“Utter another sound and I will sew your fucking mouth, De Villiers!” I threatened.
He smiled innocently and put his finger over his lips to show he would remain silent not.
"Anyways, what were you saying, Amanda?" I sighed loudly, inclining to my seat again.
"She is going to get rid of Zaniel first and become like her mother. Or at least trying"
She finished explaining as a sigh escaped my lips, holding my forehead while leaning on the table.
"That’s nowhere near, Mother. She had the world in her palm." I mumbled, I had seen my Mother. I was there to witness her monstrous side.
"However, whatever it is, Prince is going to halt it. He wouldn't let her become what we are."
Rolling my eyes, I took out my phone and called him. Maybe it was the time to finally emerge and not sit back as a spectator anymore.
Time to take matters in my grasp.
"Hello?" Prince voice came.
"Take Cinzel back to that warehouse on Monday." I ordered dominantly, betting his face must be pale after recognizing my voice due to immense dread.
"W-Who are you?"
As expected, the tremble of his voice gave me inexplicable rapture, even the one who rules his domain was frightened of me.
Smirking, I replied, "Do I still need an introduction, Princy?" I called him by the nickname he hates the most which told him it was me and cut the call.
"What are you going to do?" Amanda asked, thrilled.
I twirled my tongue, whistling a bit along with a sinister smirk bestowed from our bloodline sharpened my features.
"Cinzel trusts Prince too much, soon enough she will fight the world for his sake. That’s where she will become like our Mother. I have to stop this disease."
Wearing my gloves, I buttoned my waist coated and neatly folded my sleeves to my elbow.
Tightening my grip over my Alroy locket, inhaling with determination to annihilate Prince or their bond blossoming unseasonably.
"It's time to become a Plague Doctor."
