Chapter 59 The evil plot
Lucien’s POV
I read the scroll I was holding silently, and clenched my fist with so much annoyance. The content of the scroll was making me feel like puking.
I kicked the table with so much annoyance as I sprang up from the rocking chair with anger burning through me.
“How dare him? Does he have a death wish?” I threw the scroll I was holding on the ground, and smashed it with my leg.
“I’m sorry master. I didn’t know you were going to be this furious over the letter Master Xavier sent” Axel bowed his head slightly.
“Now Xavier is trying my patience, I’ve told you countless number of times that I won’t sell my slave to him. She’s mine, and mine she will remain” I banged my fist on the table, and he flinched a little.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“What should I reply Master Xavier?” Axel finally spoke after few minutes of silence.
“You don’t need to send him any reply, I’ve already made myself clear to him. I won’t sell my slave Madison to him no matter what he says” I spoke with finality in the tone of my voice.
“Master? Don’t you think this might cause issues between you and the Masters in the valley? I know you’ve always wanted to keep good relationships with them since they are the only family you have. Master Xavier is your cousin, have you forgotten?” Axel replied, and I shot him a deadly glare. He shut his mouth immediately because he was scared he would get into trouble.
“How dare you question me, Axel? What do you care if I have issues with them? If you must send him a letter, tell him I’ve bluntly refused his offer. No matter how much he offers me, I can’t sell that slave to him” I growled in Abbotsford. But why am I really being so protective over this slave.
Unlike before, I’ll willingly give up any slave no matter how beautiful the slave may be. Why don’t I want to sell this Madison of a slave, and recover my money that her stepfather owes me?
Is there any special value that this slave adds to me? That’s probably because she’s close to my daughter, right?
“What are you still waiting for Axel? Send a letter across to Xavier, and tell him that he should pick any other slave. I’ll release whoever he picks apart from that slave, Madison” I turned away my gaze gulping down the glass of herb on the table.
“I’ll do exactly as you’ve said my Lord” He bowed before leaving my chambers.
Emery’s POV
Rodolfo stared at me with confusion written all over his face. He’s such a gullible dumbo.
“What are you staring at me like that for Rodolfo? Isn’t this the most brilliant idea you’ve ever heard?” I laughed hysterically looking at the shining diamond necklace on the table in front of me.
“Are you really going to go this far? I don’t think she deserves whatever it is that you’re planning to do to her. I know how much you hate her, but this will cost her life. Don’t you understand me?” Maria cried out, and I grabbed her by the neck. She choked helplessly, and I glared at her with so much annoyance.
“Whoever told you that you’re allowed to say a word? This is none of your business, and I won’t let you be a barrier to my plans. Have you seen how everyone sings songs of praises to that stupid slave? I have always been the talk of the castle. Everyone respects and bows to me, and that girl is about to take that away. Do you expect me to let her?” I arched my eyebrows, and she coughed helplessly.
“You’re… You’re hurting me” She struggled to speak. I let go of her forcefully, and she landed her butt on the stool behind her.
“Honestly Emery, I don’t know why I feel this isn’t right. What if she gets killed? I don’t think my conscience will be able to take that” Rodolfo turned his gaze away, and I gritted my teeth. How did I get entangled with such cowards?
“If your conscience can’t take it then get lost. Let me do things the way I want to. Stay away from me and my plans” I fumed with anger.
“Fine! How do you want us to do it?” Rodolfo said after some minutes of silence. Smiles creeped into my face, and I rubbed his back giving him a seducing smile.
“It’s simple Rodolfo. You’re a guard of the castle, and getting into that pauper’s room will not be difficult for you” I started, and he widened his eyes in shock.
“Me? Why should I be the one to do it? I already told you that I don’t like this idea of yours?” Rodolfo snapped, and I eyed him.
“All you have to do is to sneak into her room, and put this diamond into her bag. This is just going to be a plot, and when the Master goes for monthly supervision of the treasures, there’s no way he won’t find out that his favorite treasure the diamond necklace is missing” I smirked mischievously.
“What? What if someone finds me putting that necklace into her bag? I really…” he continued complaining.
“Keep quiet! You’ll do as I say, if not I’ll have you eliminated. You should know exactly what I can and can’t do” I threatened him, and he nodded his head.
He picked up the diamond necklace unwillingly, and headed out of the room. Smiles filled my face as I thought of how that stupid slave will be eliminated. This is going to be the most beautiful thing that will ever happen to me. Once I get her out of my way, I can have my position to myself again.
