Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

“Let’s send Alyssa there!” Bella suddenly spoke up softly.

King Jacob’s head immediately snapped towards her as e stared at her in disbelief.

“What the hell are you going on about?” He growled displeasure mounting in his eyes.

He could handle the fact that they were cruel to Alyssa and maltreated her in the palace but this was an important matter that would decide the fate of the whole kingdom.

He would not let anyone put his plan to save the kingdom in jeopardy even if it was his wife.

Bella noticed that he was getting angry and panicked.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She rushed to place her hand on his shoulder as she coquettishly appeased him and explained.

“Darling, do not get angry and listen to me first. You can decide to chose anyone else but how can you guarantee their loyalty? How are you sure that they will not take the artifact and run away? Alyssa on the other had not only meets the criteria in terms of otherworldly beauty but she can also be given something she wants to guarantee her compliance. You are aware that she is not someone that covets material things.” Bella explained while rubbing her hand back and forth on his shoulder.

King Jacob calmed down and contemplated what Bella said and found it very reasonable.

“That is in fact true but the issue is that we have nothing that she wants. Besides you are aware that she hates every single one of us so what’s stopping her from ratting us out and igniting a war that will lead us to be annexed?” King Jacob asked thoughtfully.

He had examined all the angles and found that although Alyssa was very suitable, she was also a ticking time bomb. One that he himself was not sure he could control. He saw that she was not scared of him neither was she beaten down by their ill-treatment towards her.

She would not be easily convinced.

Bella sat down and thought about it carefully. She had a deviously smart mind that had helped her stay in power all these years.

She suddenly thought of something and it made her smile.

“What is it? Were you able to come up with a leverage to convince Alyssa with?” Jacob asked as he noticed her enlightened grin.

“You can negotiate with her freedom!” She answered.

“Alyssa’s freedom? From what exactly?” He asked confusedly.

“My husband! Try to think carefully. What is the thing Alyssa has always wanted more than anything? Its her freedom from us as well as the life she is forced to live with her lowly status. If we can promise her that if she’s successful, she will be able to go on her own way she will accept. We can also tell her that we will provide some gold coins and banknotes that will help her on her journey away from here. We can further entice her that she won’t have to be forced to marry Prince Lucas to totally solidify the deal. There is no way she will not be tempted.” Bella explained with a smirk on her face.

“Wow my queen! Your mind is so devious. I totally love it. Its just that there are some loose ends in your plan. Firstly, what are we going to tell Lucas since he is hell bent on marrying Alyssa. We cannot afford to offend him. Secondly, what if she thinks we are going to go back on our word and she refuses to take the risk? Thirdly, are we truly going to let her escape just like that and also give her money to do so?” King Jacob asked worriedly.

“Thank you for your praise, my king. I obviously also thought of those things and I have come up with a solution.” She announced.

“Oh! I’m all ears.”

“Concerning Lucas, we can just get Alyssa to write a farewell letter saying she does not want to get married so she ran away from home. The servants can attest to the fact that she had an aversion to the marriage seeing her behavior the day you announced it do that won’t be an issue. I’m sure that the prince would have also felt her resistance towards him so he would not be able to question us. This will make sure we don’t offend him also.”

Jacob nodded with widened eyes seemingly enlightened.

“For the second and third issue, we can just get her to sign a document that we will claim is legally binding. For someone like her who barely goes out and does not understand that one needs a witness when signing such documents, it will be easy to exploit her. We can just sign the document without a witness and once she comes to redeem her price after succeeding, we will claim she is delusional. After all, which parent will promise to let go of their child and even use it as a reward for a mission well done. Remember that asides the old servants in our house, people outside are not aware of the ongoings under our roof. They all know you as the benevolent and kind king that would not slight nor harm anyone so they will obviously believe you. We will then be able to keep her under tighter lockdown and if the prince is not married by then, marry her off to him fr benefits.” Bella finished.

Jacob stared at her in shock.

This woman was surely a demoness who was not to be trifled with. He better not offend her lest she devises a plan to kill him in his sleep and make it seem like he committed suicide.

Devil incarnate!

Bella naturally saw through his thoughts but she did not comment not make it obvious that she knew.

That will teach the bastard to know his place.

“That is such a good idea. Thank you my queen.” Jacob said gratefully.

“No worries my king. I can do anything for your happiness and peace of mind.” She responded with a shy smile.

That aroused Jacob and soon they were rolling on the bed like animals.

Later, he got someone to invite Alyssa to his throne room.

He needed to set his plans in motion.
