Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 129. You Will Be A King

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

In the depths of the Queens Palace, there was a place no one knew about. It had been built by modifying a secret passage known only to the royal family. Cerdina had killed the officials and workers responsible for its construction, ensuring that only she knew it existed.

It was filled with various medicinal herbs, dead animals, and other dubious objects. Taking out ground lizard powder and the eyes of a frog who had died under the full moon, Cerdina weighed the materials on a scale. Once they had been accurately measured, she poured them carefully into a boiling pot. As the liquid changed color, she pulled out a final ingredient: one of Leahs hairs, which showed like silver thread.

The silver was so beautiful, it looked as if it had been pulled from the moon. Once it was in the pot, the liquid turned a shiny silver. She stirred it with a ladle until it finally turned black.

Cerdina waited thoughtfully for the steam to dissipate. Though this time she had taken Leahs hair directly, previously she had controlled Countess Melissa to acquire them. Leah trusted the Countess, who had regularly combed her hair. Cerdina had easily been able to continue her spell.

Today she made the potion and kept a few more strands of Leahs hair in a small glass bottle, just in case. But she did not foresee that she would need to use it. The spell was almost finished. The Kings hair would suffice for the rest. Cerdina plunged into indescribable ecstasy as she imagined the completion of the spell.

That was the day Blain would ascend the throne. The humblest blood would become the greatest, and the arrogant bluebloods would be brought to their knees. It was a great feat that none of her ancestors had ever achieved.

Cerdinas power would be stronger than ever. Her appetite for power and her ambition were insatiable. There was no end to them. She would create the perfect coronation ceremony.

Humming, she poured the black liquid into a wine glass, placed it on a tray, and left the room. But as she entered Blains room, she stopped.
