Chapter 39

“Were you even going to tell me?” The menacing voice rang into Helena’s ear, sending a shiver down her spine.

Still, she tried to remain calm, “W-Well, your Grace. The audits have already been…adjusted to what we want it to reflect so I didn’t see a need to worry you about something like this.”

“Hm…” Greg contemplated, “Your people are sure that my cousins bought it? That the figures are real?”

Helena frantically answered, “Yes! I spoke to the three of them in charge when I got to the office. They practically knelt and pleaded, swearing that they did what we asked them to do. And the receptionists said one stack went with the King and one with the Duke…the other Duke. I mean, if they didn’t believe it, why bother splitting the documents between themselves?

There was a pause before Greg asked, “And the Queen?” He tried to sound normal and not soft.

“The Queen? The woman with them? She just seemed like an accessory from what I gathered from my people. Just nodded and greeted and you know…followed them around.”

“An accessory? Hmph. Oh, Goddess. I wonder whether your people are idiots or you’re the idiot leading them.” Greg taunted mercilessly.

Helena was stunned. From whatever she was told, the Queen was just some wolf following the two men around. She gave no orders or instructions. She didn’t even make any requests. The only common detail everyone seemed to have mentioned was that the Queen was ‘nice’. What did that even mean?! “My people did mention that she was nice.”

Greg chuckled darkly, “Yeah. Until you piss her off.”

“So you know her.”

“I’ve met her. Twice.”

“And you think she may be a threat?”

“She could be if she wanted to. This one’s smart. And very dauntless. Doesn’t give a sh*t about hierarchy. As beautiful as the creature is, she is definitely not an accessory.” He smiled to himself at his end in his own dark home office while picturing Lucianne in his head.
