CHAPTER 8
"HOW DARE YOU!" Gwinvere shouted. The six guards that remained in the main hall were sweating and very nervous even though she was not shouting at them. She was shouting at the man in front of her.
"I don't see what the problem is? Durzo said. "You want me to kill the King, right?"
"Not at the cost of Duke Hussain's life! Yes, he was an expendable asset but I planned to remove him much later, NOT NOW!" Kirena bellowed. Durzo inwardly smirked when he saw the guards twitch at her voice. Pathetic cowards, he thought. He honestly didn't know why someone so powerful surrounded herself with idiots. Oh well, it'll only make the job of killing her easier should the time come.
And then all of a sudden, the Shinga had calmed down. When she spoke again, it was with a quiet, yet commanding voice. The wetboy was very impressed.
"Tell me, what is your plan to get rid of the King?" Gwinvere asked. Durzo was stunned. That was unexpected. Did she not trust that he was capable of killing him? Or was she just asking so that she could sabotage it? Durzo inwardly shook his head. That wouldn't even make sense, since she wants the King dead. Then…why?
"Why do you wish to know?" he replied. Gwinvere's face remained blank.
"Tell me," she said again. Durzo was becoming more and more wary of her. Her voice sent a strange sensation through him, urging him to tell her. He smiled.
"Okay, I'll tell you!" Durzo answered.
This was deliberately short so you know how the story is about to progress in the next chapter.
