Chapter 60

**Tzalmon Point of View**

She can do that?

My mouth went dry from shock for a second when I realized what she did. Eblilis just wished that the lot of men shall lose their powers and they indeed lost a part of it.

What was more astonishing was she came up with such a theory all by herself and even dared to try it out at such a critical moment.

My lips turned up lightly which I was trying to suppress when I looked at her proud grin. Her eyes were almost dangling out from joy and her beautiful set of teeth are out in display.

She's feeling extremely satisfied with the result, isn't she?

She was literally glowing like moon in the night sky.

"What – what is happening?" Lord Uplon shouted urgently as he tried to feel the heights of his powers and failed to do so to the full extent.

"Milady?" I acted along as well and stood behind her with a questioning glance.

However I was playing along, I want to know what she was up to as well. From what I was learning about her from a few recent months, this woman has a lot of ideas and tricks up her sleeve.

"Ah, Mister Aguelli, I should warn you to stand back not get yourself involved in this." She merely glanced at me for a fraction of second and turned her attention back to the people who were no hopping in anger, displeasure and helplessness.

"What have you done?" This time, it was Lord of Pazien who strode towards her with such a force that could make people below his power out of breath. Except, she wasn't even affected by my force, how can she care about puny force of this man?

"It's not done yet. You know, I always have a backup plan for the reason when my first plan may backfire. So, I'm not done with you all yet." Saying, with a very evident evil grin, she looked down into her arms at our son who was looking around calmly.

No, she isn't. Is she?

"Little man, I have to ask you for help here. Can you make their power disappear and make them into some ordinary human?" She looked down at our son with a soft motherly smile and the very next moment, as if the young fellow understood her, he giggled and babbled looking back his mother.

I did not understand what conversation was going on between the mother and son due; it's not like I understand the babbling language of a child. But it was soon clarified.

Those who only lost a small part of their power were then surrounded by huge ball of light. The light was blinding and lasted for good few moments before it dimmed and vanished finally.

The moment when the light vanished completely, the one powerful and arrogant Lords of the kingdom fell down with no amount of magical power in them.

I couldn't help but feel both envious and stunned at the chemistry between the mother and son duo. Even a blind can see how my son value his mother and to what extent.

Usually, a child of his age hardly has any power and force, however, this child was born with a force that can challenge mine.

To strip a group of people of their power is as easy as lifting his finger and the little boy looked as happy as he can when his mother looked down at him so lovingly and asked for his help.

The whole sequence... it make me feel my heart constricted.

I felt envious.

The group of lords who were now powerless and merely human, were struggling to make sense of the situation, at the same time trying to attack Eblilis.

Azar and Eelk were right by her side and were so good at their job that they did not even let a mosquito hurt her.

"Azar, Eelk, Tie them up and take them to the mining area. Don't you like threating people with their family and treat women like slaves? Then from tomorrow onwards, these honorable lords shall work as miners for daily wages. Azar, I'll leave their accommodation and contract signing to you. Ah right, do not let any of them escape and no message of them or from them should leave the premises."

To what she said, series of disagreements raised and many even tried to escape but with the shield Azar and Eelk placed, how can they.

Forget about the lords even Azar, Eelk and I were stunned with her plans for the lords.

She is...

I cannot say if she was good or bad. But the matter of making the highly lords do the mining for her was clearly slapping their faces along with mine as their King.

Azar and Eelk jerked out of their daze and soon escorted the bunch of lords to the mining area secretly and as for Eblilis, she along with our son and Circe returned back to Treasure Palace and I followed.

All through the way back, she was rather excited, so much that she actively laughed and played with our son freely.

"Now, tell me why were you there when you didn't even have anything to do?"

"I received an invitation, Milady. Didn't you see it?" I spoke although politely, she still frowned a little.

"Mister Aguelli, if the events today turned out in favor of the other party, what would you have done? Clearly you were invited to talk in their favor."

Where is she going with this?

I know, for some reason, even after putting on a good act, she still suspects me.

"I never knew my part for being invited, Milady. However, you are my superior and employer, how can I go against you? Not after I took a blood oath."

Her features slightly creased with a frown before she gave me a curt nod.

"Then I don't need to tell you what to do with the honorable lords who are now under your command." There was a hint of warning in her tone which surprisingly, I didn't mind.

"Naturally, Milady." With a small bow, the matter ended there and I stayed till evening until the weekly reports were signed and stamped.

By the time I was back to my sleeping cabin, it was already dark. Inside the house was Edus, who was waiting for me impatiently.

"What got you so edgy?"

"Majesty." He shot towards me and bowed before showing urgency on his face. "The Lords –"

"Manage the issue for me. We don't need to save them."

"But what about the other court officials. The lords that were captured by Milady are no small ranked people." I agree, they are no small ranked officials.

"Hmm, but this also might pose an advantage to us. No one will expect a small woman with no influence to capture those lords. In that case, she is safe. Did you find out that a couple of these lords were suspicious; let's take this chance in setting up a stage of for them." Edus eyes immediately glinted thoughtfully and when he understood my point, he nodded dutifully.

"However, Majesty, Milady was really brave to do what she did. That stunt of hers was both appalling and unexpected." There was hint of admiration in his voice that there wasn't in the past.

Unknowingly, my lips turned upside into a small smile too.

Indeed, it was unexpected. She played this well.

Very well!

"She expected troubles like this would knock her door one day or the other so from the minute she stepped into Oudad, she made simultaneously plans. I was expecting her to panic and fall deep into the pit but she made it out with victory. How interesting." A rare chuckle roared out of my throat.

"How is Gyles doing?"

"He got the rhythm of acting like Your Majesty and no one suspects anything yet." I hummed in satisfaction.

"The news about disappearance of the lords should not be linked to her. Make arrangements."

"As you command, Your Majesty." He said and then hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Majesty is encouraging Lady Acacia's business. I fail to see the purpose behind it, Your Majesty."

I raised my brow when he dare to question my motives but seeing how he was very curious, I shrugged before answering.

"Letting her grow isn't bad for two reasons."

"Two reasons?"

"Yes, one, I realized she isn't easy to be subdued and now with the love and protection of our son, it is nearly impossible. She doesn't belong here and is not a daughter of aristocrat family. However, if she was to become my queen in the future, this influence she was building is also good." Edus nodded in understanding.

"Two, infiltrating into our enemy's territory." I smirked as I took a swig of my drink.

"Infiltrating into enemy's territory? Your Majesty, you mean –"

"Those scums – Umbra Spirituum, The shadow spirits." I smirked down at his shocked state.

"Your Majesty, you mean use her influence to infiltrate into Shadow spirits territory? But are we not keeping her safe from them? Then how is it possible."

Usually, you were smart. What happened now, Edus?

"Who said she was going there. I will, in future, under her commands, to set up a branch of her business there."
