Chapter 372: Most Superior

Ahmed was more than happy with everything that was currently happening. While there were a few things that could've turned out better, all things considered, things were running smoothly. There were a few investigations being run to try and discover their coven, but otherwise, they were practically running around in circles without any idea of what was truly happening.

"It's good to be king," he chuckled to himself as he leaned into his seat. "Well, I'm not king yet, but it'll happen eventually…"

"You're already counting your chickens before they hatch," Sage reminded him as she sat in front of his desk. "Are you sure we won't be found out?"

"As if they'd ever find out about us now," Ahmed scoffed. "Seeing as we're still here casually talking about it, I sincerely doubt they'd be able to piece things together fast enough for them to stop us."

And wasn't that the truth? Why else was he confident about things if it wasn't the fact that the current powers that be were currently too preoccupied with the plague to launch a proper investigation? Sure, Fritz and some of the former king's men were doing their own investigations, but Ahmed was confident enough that they had left enough fake leads to keep them occupied until his eventual coronation. They just had to make sure that they were properly distracted until the final plan was enacted, and by then, they'd be powerless to stop him.

"I only hope you know what you're doing," Sage reminded him. "Also, when are we going to get Raul to start messing up? Now that everyone's distracted, we should take this opportunity to get things started."
