Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514: Queen Nirvana’s Order —1

As Ralphie observed the chaotic scene unfolding before him, a chilling realization dawned upon him: Islinda was not human. With each precise and brutal blow she landed on the fae officer, it became evident that her strength far exceeded that of a mere mortal. To the untrained eye, it may have appeared as though she had merely caught the officer off guard, but Ralphie, seasoned in the art of assassination, recognized the calculated precision and immense power behind each strike.

As the chaos ensued, the assassin seamlessly blended into the bustling crowd, his keen eyes absorbing every detail of the fight with a sense of foreboding. Only a fool would underestimate the true nature of Islinda’s strength, no, Ralphie understood the gravity of the situation unfolding before him.

As Queen Nirvana’s suspicions were confirmed, a sense of intrigue settled over Ralphie. The realization that the human held untapped potential beyond what met the eye validated the queen’s intuition. Yet, what puzzled him was the spring Fae Queen’s unusual investment in this particular human, Islinda.

Surveying Islinda’s actions, he pondered the origins of her extraordinary abilities. While it was common for humans in their realm to be of mixed heritage, Islinda’s rounded ears suggested otherwise. The absence of pointed ears typical of Fae lineage led him to consider alternative explanations. Could Islinda be a distant descendant of Fae blood, explaining her supernatural strength? Or perhaps she was something altogether different—a hybrid of human and another magical entity?

Considering the options, he contemplated the possibility of Islinda being of mixed witch heritage. The witches, with their proximity to the human realm as well and their willingness to interact, presented a plausible connection. Unlike other supernatural realms, the witches had historically welcomed interactions with their kind, potentially offering a bridge between worlds for beings like Islinda.

Queen Nirvana’s interest in Islinda was questionable but Ralphie knew better than to entangle himself in royal politics. His sole purpose was to confirm what the queen already suspected—that Islinda was not human. Any further involvement in the matter was beyond his jurisdiction.

Maintaining a detached stance from the target was essential for an assassin, particularly when tasked with missions that involved taking lives. Islinda’s fate was sealed the moment Queen Nirvana contracted him to investigate. He understood that his role was merely to gather information and carry out the queen’s orders, without becoming emotionally invested in the outcome.

In his line of work, personal attachments only complicated matters and clouded judgment. By staying focused on the task at hand and following instructions without question, he ensured his success as a professional assassin, regardless of the consequences for Islinda.

With practiced ease, Ralphie slipped away from the burgeoning crowd just before the riot erupted, disappearing into the shadows as effortlessly as he had arrived. Utilizing his network of sources, he swiftly made contact with Queen Nirvana, conveying the crucial information he had gathered regarding Islinda’s true nature.

While awaiting the queen’s instructions, he returned to the scene of the chaos, drawn by a morbid curiosity to witness the intensity of the riot firsthand. As he navigated the bustling streets, he couldn’t help but marvel at the unprecedented scale of the unrest erupting in this typically subdued part of the city.

The realization struck him with sudden clarity—this upheaval was unlike anything Haven’s Reach had ever witnessed. The minority population, long accustomed to maintaining a low profile, found themselves swept up in a frenzy of rebellion sparked by the arrival of a single human: Islinda.
