Marriage Of Benefits - Chapter 351
All the eyes turned towards the voice and although she had a mask on, no one could doubt the voice. She was still to weak but her voice contained the power that could scare her enemy.
As everyone turned their head, they bowed one after another making way for her, she nodded her head and stepped forward with a superior charisma around her. She came to stand in front of Robert and next to Rafel with her head held high. Rafel looked at her worried “My Queen, you should be resting.”
She smiled at Rafel “I had to deal with this, you can relax, I am fine.”
She looked at Robert and said “How dare you create a chaos over here, this is no place for people like you.”
She then carefully assessed his looks which really looked like the person she had met at the party, although she was unable to see his face at that time most of his features were similar to the person standing in front of her.
He smiled “Do you welcome your guests this way here?”
Rachel laughed “It is already better than the way you welcome the guests so what more were you expecting, perhaps a drink.”
He smiled and stepped forward near her but Rafel came to stand in between them and let out a roar warning Robert to not overstep his boundaries.
Rachel placed a hand on his head and said “Calm down Rafel, I can handle this.”
He looked at Rachel saying “Your Highness, you have already done enough and this time I am not stepping back.”
Rachel smiled and patted his head “Be good, I got this.”
She then looked back at Robert “Do have you decided not to live anymore that you come here knocking at the door of death.”
He smiled “I am not scared of death but I still wish to live a little longer but when I want to die, I will surely look for you.”
Rachel glared at him “Get out”
He smiled “I came to check on you and now that I have seen you are fine, I can be rest assured.”
Rachel felt that his words were genuine and the thought of him being a nice person came to her mind again while a feeling of warmth crept into her heart but she still doubted him and said sarcastically “So considerate of you.”
He smiled and didn’t bother to explain himself as he left. Rachel thought that maybe he was seriously concerned as he left without doing anything. She turned around and said to everyone to get back to their work when her gaze landed on Jamie, she narrowed her eyes as she spoke “What are you doing here?”
She then looked at Rafel “Didn’t you send everyone back?”
He nodded his head and said “She came back to take her phone that she left in your room.”
Rachel nodded her head and looked back at Jamie “Have you found it?”
She nodded her head to hear “I still need some time here so you should go back.”
Jamie bowed her head and spreading her wings she went away. Rachel waked towards her throne and sat on it while Eagle followed her closely behind her. As she sat down she looked at Rafel and said “Thank you for using your power but it was not required.”
He looked at her with his eyes wide “How did you know I used my power and what do you mean by, I didn’t need of use it.”
Rachel smiled “I just overused my powers and was only resting.”
Rafel was even more surprised “But you used your residual powers and we didn’t even know if you were going to wake up.”
She smiled again “After using it, I came to know that it was a way for a queen to protect herself and gives you an even enormous strength but at the end drains out every and you have to give in to some rest. I had my consciousness and I knew what was happening around but I was too weak to respond.”
Rafel nodded his head “I am glad that you are awake.”
She smiled “I am even more happy to think that I could make a great impact on you and change your reaction towards me than the other Queens, I feel honored.”
He smiled and even though he felt embarrassed about being caught crying, he was happy that she didn’t hurt his pride by mentioning it bluntly.
He then looked at her for one last question that was in his mind “How did you know about the leader and if you were so weak how did you come out all energized?”
She smiled “I told you I was aware what was going around me so I heard when you were called and by then I had rested quite a bit moreover your energy kicked in too so I was able to come out. I could not let anyone cause trouble.”
He nodded his head ” You always put safety of others before you.”
She smiled and said “Be on guard, I need the whole night for the throne to heal me so the powers of all the witches will be gone for the night.”
He looked at her and bowed his head in admiration “You are so hurt to consume all the power yet you can stand strong. In my long life I have never felt that anyone was worthy of being a queen but this is the first time I feel that someone is worth this position.”
She smiled feeling flattered but she still said “Stop buttering me up and go, I need rest.”
He nodded and went away while all the other witches were really curious about how Rachel was moving like nothing had happened. As Rafel could not tell them anything, he only worried about following the orders.
She hated, how weak she felt yesterday but right now as her body filled with energy a smile crept on her face. She felt good to be powerful again and soon she asked all the witches to be present there. She knew they were worried so she had to assure them that she was fine.
She told them the same things that she had told Rafel last night and told them to become stronger as she said “We are witches and have magical powers but that doesn’t mean that it is fine if we lack physical power. I don’t want my witches to be like that so there will be a training session for everyone and you have to become stronger physically too.”
Everyone looked at her with questioning gaze that what did they need it for, Rachel patiently began to say “I know you can use your powers but it is not good to always rely on them, sometimes you need to handle some situations using physical strength and sometimes mental power is required so I will be arranged for the people to teach you and you have to make sure you free that time in your schedule, you will be trained to get stronger both physically and mentally.”
Most of them were reluctant to undergo training but they could not go against the words of the queen. After everyone agreed, she continued “Next some more rules have been added for more discipline in this place as I have been seeing everyone do whatever they wish and do not care to seek the approval. It is not because I want everything to be according to me but it is to avoid any mishaps in the future, now if you trust me as your queen then just go with what I say.”
After everything that had happened and what she had done, she was respected very well so they could trust her blindly without thinking much. When she said the words that everyone was doing whatever they wished, Jessica and Jamie felt her eyes fall on them and they were scared but they maintained their composure so no one would notice. When everyone agreed, Rachel smiled “If that is the case then everyone go and see the rules that will be handed to you soon.”
As Rachel got up everyone got up and were about to leave when she said “I want Jessica and Jamie to stay behind and rest can leave.”
As everyone left she looked at both of them standing there scared “So you know you did something wrong, let me not beat about the bush then what did the leader of the evil witches had to do with you.”
