Chapter 203 Two Hundred and Three
“You’re really difficult to impress, aren’t you, your Grace?” Lord Kylton noted in amusement before he uttered, “But I’m happy to say that bankrupting the government wasn’t the end. In fact, it was the beginning of the end. Knowing Xandar and Christian, we gathered that they would transfer the monarchy’s funds to sustain the government if the government funds were emptied. So, the end goal was to wait until both those funds dned up. And when the King and his second-in-command have nowhere else to turn for money, our family would make a sudden appearance to…” 2
“Offer financial support.” Greg muttered when he caught up, and he continued, “In exchange, you’d demand that the King take your daughter’s hand in marriage.”
“Bravo, your Grace.” Kelissa said with a smirk, raising her glass while she was at it like she was already celebrating. After taking a sip, she added, “What’s better is that we lose nothing in the process. We’d just be giving Xandar whatever _we’ve…borrowed from __ the government and the monarchy over the years.” “Borrowed?” Greg questioned her choice of vocabulary.
Kelissa rolled her eyes and continued, “It’s not theft if we plan to return whatever we’ve been taking. When it happens, when we save the Kingdom from financial ruin, it would seem like we’re helping every living creature, from the most insignificant wolf to the most powerful Lycan. No one in their nght minds would question my night to be Queen. My nobility and selflessness in offering aid when the Kingdom needs it most would silence any critic. And when my subjects see me, they’d kneel, bow and utter ‘long live the Queen’.” 2
‘Sounds like a perfect plot to a horror movie with an ominous ending’, Greg thought to himself. 3
Greg decided to ignore the delusional and power-crazed heiress for now, and turned to Lord Kylton to confirm the facts for the sake of the recording device stuck under the dining table, “So, you let the ministers take the bulk of the money…because it was never about the money. You let them take the bulk because you only wanted them to keep helping with your plan without them asking questions about the ultimate goal. And you three knew that the portion Wu Bi Corp took over the years would be enough to be used as a bargaining chip to force my cousin to make your daughter the…” He was getting nauseous simply by imagining Kelissa as the Queen, so much so that he couldn’t say it without throwing up. He thought fast, and pictured Lucianne in his head before he uttered, “Queen.”
Thankfully, none of the Kyltons saw through his disgust. They assumed that Greg was just shocked. Lord Kylton smirked in arrogance when he said, “Ingenious, isn’t it, your Grace? We obviously never needed the money but Tanner here and the ministers who…assisted us did. So, we used that as our bargaining chip. Money in the billions in exchange for government access and no questions asked. The dollar signs always have a way of removing unwanted questions and attracting…the nght people.”
