The Crown's Seduction-Chapter 80: Manipulations

"Did he really think that he can push me away that easily?"

Rosela gritted her teeth as she balled her fist so hard that blood started dripping from her hand. Her eyes had already darkened into black orbs, and the air around her had become steeped with sinister tension as she boiled in her own hatred.

Eventually, a dark mist enveloped her visions, a dark magic manifesting itself in front of her.

"It's been a long time since you called out for me, Rosela," a voice from the mist reverberated through the air as it hovered around her.

"I want to kill her," Rosela grunted. "I need more dark magical stones."

"You do know that dark magical stones are very hard to find, Rosela," the black mist coolly replied.

"I already used up the ones I still had," she murmured. "I need more if I want to keep going."

"Yes… You launched an ambush and used up your remaining dark magical stones to manipulate the sirens," the dark voices replied with a scolding tone. "Your desperate actions have and will put you in danger…"

Rosela's eyes narrowed. "And since when did you care?" she scoffed. "Just get me more dark magical stones if you don't want me to tell him-"

"We both know how futile your threats are, Rosela," the dark voice menacingly chuckled as it interrupted her. "Telling him that will only backfire on you. Remember, you started and planned all this. Once this all comes to light, you will lose him for good… Why, I don't see why you wouldn't just agree with him in ending his immortal life."

"Should I throw the same question to you then?" Rosela growled. "Let's end Dahlia now!"

"Hahahahaha!"

A sinister laugh roared inside the cave. Rosela felt the hairs at the back of her neck stand on their ends as she did her best to remain composed.

"Don't fool yourself. She's no longer a threat to you and you know that," the voice chided. "The queen he has now is the one that's actually troubling you. I've heard reports that Nikolai is already smitten with her. Why, I wouldn't be surprised if he has already moved on and allowed himself to fall-"

"That won't happen! He's still pining for Dahlia's ghost and I will use that against that bjtch!" Rosela hissed. "I don't want to hear your opinions, Zoran. Just find me more dark magical stones! We're in this together, so don't you think of abandoning me unless you want to lose Dahlia!"

"Fine then," Zoran scoffed. "I will find you more of those stones that you need, but you must help Helion when the time comes to conquer Valcrez."

"I will keep my oath to you, Zoran," Rosela firmly answered. "Just make sure you keep yours in that you won't harm Nikolai and hand him over to me once the time comes…"

She shook her head at what was happening to her crumbling plans. Yes, she was willing to sell herself to the devil just to make sure that Nikolai would be hers, but she wasn't liking how things have progressed so far.

Last night, she waited for her beloved to vomit while marking the bjtch, but surprisingly, nothing happened. There didn't even seem to be any signs of him rejecting that human's blood!

It was a disaster. Her plans were going so well until that cursed princess arrived and ruined everything.

She never thought that the bjtch would manage to get Nikolai's attention with how aloof he was, but the woman somehow wormed her way into his graces. Why, she even got to the point that Nikoai wanted to push her away just so he could spend more time with that cursed woman!

"I need to find out whatever curse she has!" Rosela mumbled to herself as she schemed. "I need to get my hands on everything that I can use against her so that she'll get rejected and dethroned. From there, I'll just kill her at my leisure. But for now, I can't touch her so long as she's under Nikolai's protection."

"I'll see what I can do then," Zoran commented with a tone of resignation.

With a wave of her hand, Rosela ended her correspondence with Zoran before quickly going out of the hidden cave inside the forest of Nur located in the southeast part of Valcrez. Walking up the cave's mouth, one of her men was eagerly awaiting the results of her actions.

"Will he give you more dark magical stones?"

"He will…" she off-handedly replied. "We just have to wait."

Rosela rolled her eyes as she saw Mason let out a visible sigh of relief. As much as the man was useful, sometimes she just wanted to get rid of him. After all, he was Abel's Curb that the man had assigned to watch over her. Unfortunately for his though, his lackey fell in love with her just as much as the man himself did.

"What should I report to Master Abel?" Mason eagerly asked. "He's been regularly asking me what you're up to lately. He's worried that you'll do something that might harm you in the end."

Raising an eyebrow, Rosela moved closer to Mason and seductively trailed her finger onto the man's lips. She smirked. It was really way too easy for her to manipulate any man she wanted and have them dance to her tune… All except for the one man she actually wanted.

"You already know what to do, Mason, so why bother asking me about it?" she softly asked, her eyes intentionally lingering on his parted lips. "If you want to keep indulging yourself in my company, then do what would please me."

Mason buckled, and Rosela already knew what would happen next. This man would keep his mouth shut, and everything would go about as usual. After all, Abel could easily kill him if he ever found out that his lackey wasn't relaying correct reports to him.

To add to her manipulations, she gently moved her fingers down onto his neck, trailing them onto his chest before going further south to his groin. Predictably, he was already hard just from her simply touching him like this.

"Do more favors for me, Mason, and I might just serve you tonight," she seductively offered even as her words were as sharp as steel.

"I want the cursed princess out of our kingdom, and you're going to help me find her weaknesses. I would love to try and frame her for something unsavory and destroy her name. We already failed in poisoning her, so let's have a different approach this time."

In front of her, Mason groaned in pleasure as her hand slipped inside his trousers. "I… But… Chancellor Abel might-"

"Don't worry… I'll protect you well, Mason, so just do what I told you to, hmm?" Rosela whispered into his ear.

"Trust me… Abel will never find out. Remember that I'm more powerful than him. He's just a Curb like you, while I am a fully-fledged Scion. I can easily alter his connection to you if needed, so you can do anything you might need without worrying about him."

Moving closer, Rosela then licked his earlobe. She smiled as she felt his body tremble with lust for her.

"I will do anything that you might ask of me, Lady Rosela," Mason breathlessly murmured before a moan escaped his lips.

As Rosela's hand played with the man's hardness to great effect, the smirk on her face widened as she felt the gushing excitement of a plan being realized.

A satisfied pleasure coursed throughout her body just at the thought of removing Mineah from her path. All she had to do now was to plan everything meticulously and execute them with the same care that she would for herself.

"That's it, Mason…" she mischievously purred as her mind was busy with the possibilities. "In return for your service should you succeed, you can fully have my body and I'll even have you turned into a Scion…"
