The Crown's Seduction

Chapter 380: More Acting

Mineah wanted to vomit at what she was seeing with Ahmed's eyes. He looked at her like she was already his, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted at his behavior. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to keep talking to the man. As such, she casually drank her tea as she did her best to keep a blank expression on her face while doing exactly that. 

"The coronation will be held tomorrow, My Queen," Ahmed reminded her with a grin. "I want to hear your answer before that happens."

'The audacity!' Mineah inwardly seethed. She couldn't wait to see this man's downfall. Just imagining it now was already giving her a lot of happiness. The fact that it would also coincide with Nikolai's return also helped her hold on against just getting rid of the minister herself. At the very least, she wouldn't have to wait long before Ahmed finally got what he deserved.

"Very well then. Still, I think you should allow me to grieve still," she carefully stated, making sure to lower her tone while also still looking tired and unassuming. "It's still too early."

"I still need an answer, however," Ahmed insisted with a smug grin. "I can't protect you from the others otherwise. And we both know that we don't want that, right?"

Mineah mentally narrowed her eyes at the man that she once thought was someone calm and neutral. There was practically no trace of hiding left in him now at this point. He was that sure that he was going to be king and that she would be his queen come tomorrow.
