Marriage Of Benefits - Chapter 377

He panicked and quickly teleported to the place where he could still feel a faint connection but he ended up outside the gates of Warkinles. His eyes widened in shock but as he still could not feel any connection, he thought he had ended up in the wrong place so he went back. He tried to teleport to her a few more times but always ended up at this place and mow he was totally confused and worried. He went to his own castle which was nearby and entered his room trying to figure out who this person was, who could just vanish like thin air without any trace.

Robert lost his connection completely when he entered his room and his heart began to grow uneasy so he rushed out of his room again at such a speed that it startled the evil witches present nearby. They followed him out but when they went out, he had already vanished from their site. They tried looking for him but he was nowhere to be seen or found, they were shocked as they didn’t know about his ability to teleport. Robert landed in front of the gates of Warkinles where he had felt the strongest connection with her but now he didn’t feel anything at all. He began to panic at this and it was strange as he had never felt that before, he didn’t know what to do. The more she was resisting him, more he felt like running after her, she was so different from others. He could see clearly that she wanted to be with him. She wanted him as much as he wanted her but she was resisting as she had some thoughts in her mind that made her reluctant. He was so confused right now that he had no idea what to do but before he could do anything rash he saw Jessica appear in front of him. He looked at her with hope in his eyes as he told him everything that had happened and now Jessica felt enlightened about Rachel’s behavior, she was now sure that Rachel was trying to escape from her feelings and this mess. She was buying some time to put an end to this because she was thinking about others, Jessica shook her head at this stubborn woman but then again she was helpless in this situation as she could not reveal anything about her queen.

She looked at her brother and said “I was called here by the queen and I didn’t know anything about Rachel but whenever I see her, I will bring her back, you don’t have to worry about it so just go and get some rest.” He looked at her sister and started having a feeling that Rachel was the witch queen. He shook his head dismissing the thought but the strange feeling inside him kept telling him that maybe this was the reason she was trying to escape. He didn’t want to force her to reveal who she was but he didn’t want to loose her either so before his sister left, he said “If she is not ready to be with me because of who I am, I will abandon this dark castle and go with her, please help me pass on my message.”

His voice was so desperate that Jessica felt heartache for him but she tried to console him “Why do you even care, you didn’t even know her a few days ago.”

He fell silent for a while as he himself didn’t know the reason behind his desperation. He looked at his sister silently as he didn’t have any answer and he was no ready to accept that he loved her yet. Jessica smiled internally and said “You think about it first and then I will talk to her.”

Before he could say anything further Jessica left the place and entered the gates she was standing outside of while Robert stood at his place completely lost. Jessica had just come to see Rachel and help her with the banquet and see if she required anything so she went looking for her. When she saw her seated on the throne, she realized the reason behind Robert’s restlessness. It was because Rachel was sitting on her throne that her connection was broken with Robert and now he could not sense her anymore to teleport to the place where she was. Jessica smirked and said in her mind ‘My dear brother now you are no match for her.’

Now that Rachel was resting and she could not disturb her, she went to look for the witches who were busy with the preparation to help them. After Rachel was completely relaxed and filled with power again, she went to help the witches with the preparation. Everyone was really happy as the atmosphere of the place had turned completely lively once again. The return of their queen was a true sign of happiness as they could experience a nice atmosphere once again. Now that they had someone to protect them, they were able to move around carelessly without fear of any evil power. When they saw Rachel approach them, they bowed their heads to greet her and she smiled in return.

She went ahead to help them when the others said “You don’t have to worry about anything, Your Highness, we will take care of everything.”

She smiled and said playfully “Why? Can’t I join in on the fun.”

Seeing her in such a playful mood all the witches relaxed and began to their work. Rachel called Rafel to have fun too and enjoy the lively atmosphere, he had always been there to do his duty and no one had cared about him like this before, no one cared if he had enjoyed or not but right now he was feeling really happy.

After a while Jessica called Rachel to have a talk and when they were inside Rachel’s room Jessica looked at her sternly and asked the straightforward question “Are you trying to escape from my brother by staying here?”

Rachel was caught off guard with that question and she began to stutter “It’s n-not t-that…”

She was cut mid sentence “Does my friendship mean nothing to you, he is really serious about you and yet you can’t give it a try for your friend.”

“You can’t blackmail me with that, I just don’t want to get into this right now, I have more important things to do.”

Jessica knew this would be the reply so she began with her emotional blackmail “j understand, how can I be worthy enough to be friends with the queen and why does my feelings matter after all she can order anything and that has to be followed, her words are of utmost importance, we are just barking dogs who no one…”

Rachel was impressed by her best friend’s acting but she could not take it anymore and cut her off “Alright, that’s enough, this is the worst acting I have ever seen but still my answer is the same because you know that I value our friendship and I know you were just acting.”

Jessica panicked for a second but then said in a serious tone “Your engagement will be on the next day of the banquet and if you truly consider me your friend, be there.”

She didn’t wait for any reply and went out, she knew that whatever it may be she could get it done with this sentence. Rachel was left olone in her room and she cursed out loud “Damnit, this woman knows the trick.” Then an evil smile crept on her face as she said “But it won’t work this time.”

She let this matter rest as she had a week for that so now she had to focus on the important matters.

Jessica on the other hand went to her brother and told him that she had convinced Rachel to come to the engagement which will be after a week. Robert was overjoyed and he could not help but smile. He then went to his room and began daydreaming about his beautiful woman, he was sk excited that she would be his soon. His mind drifted of to the time he had kissed her and how she slowly lost the control and submitted to him. The way she tasted, he could not wait to taste each part of her, his mind had never been filled with this kind of ŀust. He feared that he might not be able to last that long and go crazy before that. He decided that he would plan this party by himself and try to win her over, he loved the way she wanted him but yet resisted his touch. The way she kept pushing him away made him attract to he even more, he wanted to have her all to himself.

Rachel in the other hand had planned to ruin this day at any cost no matter what.
