"We'll have to move quickly. Perhaps even to remove the threat of my brother in a more permanent way. They all stand in the way of my kingship.
The carefully constructed facade crumbled, replaced by a mask of raw fury. "Never!" I shrieked, the word tearing from my throat. "I will never let that happen!"
Elia's eyes widened in surprise, but a flicker of amusement danced in their depths. "Calm yourself, darling," he purred, missing my meaning as he fondled my breasts and nibbled on my neck. "The human is the obstacle, but murdering her will clear the way. My brother won't survive it, and
neither would Tsuneo."
The logic was undeniable, but the bitter pill of losing Tsuneo, even as a pawn, stuck in my throat. Did I truly have to choose between Tsuneo death and my rightful place as queen? Surely, he wouldn't die if that human was murdered.
Elia must have sensed my hesitation. He leaned in closer, his voice a low murmur. "Think of it, Ari," he said, his words laced with honeyed promises. "With that human gone, the path is clear. You, by my side, as Queen. Ruling this kingdom together, a power couple no one can challenge."
The image he painted was tempting, the ultimate prize dangling just out of reach. But I didn't want Elia. And I didn't trust him either. He was using me just as much as I was using him. We kissed still. The answer, I realized with a jolt, was irrelevant. For now, our goals aligned. The human had to be eliminated. Only then could I worry about my own endgame. I'd kill Elia if he really did try to hurt Tsuneo, but I didn't think I'd have to.
Taking a deep, shuddering breath, I forced my voice to be steady.
"How will we do it?" I asked as he parted my legs and lifted me. I gasped, rocking against the hard length of his erection. "Poison? Swords?"
"Leave that to me," Elia's smile widened, genuine this time. "A beauty such as yourself shouldn't have blood on her hands."
Fine. I didn't care. "I want to watch you kill her. Watch her die."
