” Stop Justin From Taking up the crown.” Nikolai said and shrugged his shoulders. His words did not surprise her at all, she expected it from him. Being a member of the rebels, what good was she expecting from him anyways. But she decided to play along and not expose him. ” What do you have in mind?” She seemed interested but Nikolai knew Just what her intention was.
” That will be Left for you to figure out the way to accomplish that.” Nikolai stated.
” Why should I do that. I will be the queen after Justin succeeds the throne why should I throw that away?” Miranda asked outrightly. She realised that there was more to this deal Nikolai was not telling her . ” It’s simple, if you fail, you lose him” Nikolai said in all seriousness earning a glare From Miranda. ” Are you perhaps threatening me?” Miranda’s voice was threateningly cold surprising Justin for a minute before his expressions turned to those of amusement” I wouldn’t dare threaten the crowns protector?” Nikolai asked casually and the ever composed Miranda almost stumbled on her feet. He knew? How could he know of her secret identity? Not even Justin knew her as the secret shadow guard of the crown holder. Did that mean her identity was already exposed to the rebels? Just thinking about it made a cold shiver run down her spine. With her undercover blowed, then Justin was exposed to more danger. It was enough that the rebels were targeting him, if it ever happens they attack knowing who she was to the crown, there was close to no possibility of the two if them making it

” You don’t have to worry, apart from me nobody else knows about your precious secret.” As if knowing what was running in her mind, Nikolai spoke. Miranda could only look at him with distrust.” How do you know that you are telling the Truth?” She asked. She was sceptical about the whole thing and had to make sure Nikolai was not bluffing but after knowing him today, he didn’t look like a man of empty words.
” You don’t have to know that, just trust me and part.” He said, his voice collected, one would think they were exchanging memories.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
” Why?” Her curiosity ignited. There were a lot of things that still remained a mystery to her.
” I simply want him not to succeed, no special reasons.” He lied with a straight face. ” And you think I’ll believe that crap?” Miranda asked. She could tell that there was more to this whole thing but couldn’t figure out exactly why he proposed the deal to her. If she was in his shoes and was competing with a person over something, the best thing to do is remove that thorn from your side, only then would you have the victory. She expected the same from him since he was part of the rebel group. They could simply kill Justin since he was the remaining direct descendant from the royal family who could contest for the crown.
” Believe it or not, it’s your choice. If you still want your lover boy alive, make sure he doesn’t step up for the crown.”
” I will never believe a word you say, afterall aren’t you all waiting to dethrone the royal family after the demise of the current king? Don’t talk as if you care alot about Justin’s safety.” Miranda replied and strode away but deep inside herself, she knew that she believed him somehow.
” When have I never cared about Justin’s safety?” Nikolai mumbled and a flash of pain passed in his eyes. After being asshole for years, of course nobody would believe him not that he wanted them to believe him, he just wanted to keep his brother and idol safe.
