The Scarred Queen's Rise (Athena) novel Chapter 612

Chapter 612

Just thinking about all the suffering she’d endured made her feel like her lungs would explode with fury

While she was being whipped, Athena was toasting to her victories,

While she was being humiliated, Athena was being honored and rewarded. Willow didn’t think that was far

Willow burst into angry tears, Matthew and Joseph gitted their teeth and clenched their fists in rage

Willow cried out, “Nicolas, you must

you must kill her. Otherwise, Fi

fil never rest in peace even if I do!

Nicolas lowered his eyelids and sighed. “Rest assured, sister, I won’t let you suffer in vain. I’ll personally see that Athena pays for everything she’s done to

you.”

Just as Willow was about to speak, an attendant hurried in and reported, “Lord Nicolas, Lady Fiona has been weeping incessantly and refusing food fr days. Should we summon a physician to examine her?”

Nicolas’s brows, knitted into a tight knot. “What does she take herself for? If it weren’t for Cedric, she’d have been a corpse long ago.

“If she refuses to eat, then let her starve. Let’s see who’s tougher

Hearing that Fiona and Cedric were also present, Willow snorted in annoyance. “Nicoles, why are you dragging this dead weight along if you ask me. you might as well just kill her and spare yourself the irritation.”

Before, she could still keep up the act, but now that she’d fallen so low, Willow no longer cared about appearances. Her true colors started showing

Matthew hesitated, his voice tinged with reluctance. “Attar all, she’s still Cedric’s mother. If you kill her and Cedric finds out when he grows up, wouldn’1 he end up resenting Nicolas?”

“It’s true, Cedric needs her right now,” Joseph said with resignation,

Willow snapped, “But as long as you keep her around, she’s just going to be a distraction every single day. What if she escapes one day? Who can guarantee she won’t run straight to Athena and sell us out?

“We’re in teal danger here. We have to be extra careful with every move we make. How can we risk everything for someone who doesn’t even matter to

Willow’s words made Nicolas hesitate. He said softly, “Rest assured, I’ve kept her under very strict watch with the stronghold’s defenses this tight, she couldn’t escape even if she grew wings. If she ever harbors such thoughts, I certainly wouldn’t spare her

Now that he was the boss here, whatever he said was the law. No one dared to question him.

Willow stopped arguing. All she could do now was stay in Nicolas’s good graces.

The ever grew tired of her, Willow knew that she would be cast aside without hesitation.

“Nicolas, I’m so tired. I wanna go rest,” Willow said softly.

“Alright, I walk you there,” Nicolas said softly

Nicolas led Willow to the courtyard, while Matthew and Joseph exchanged a bewildered glance..

After a long pause, Joseph finally croaked out, “Hey, do you think hiculas has feelings for Willow?”

“Drink your coffee and stay out of it,” Matthew said while pouring Joseph a cup, “So what if he likes her? Nicolas isn’t even our real brother. We’re backed into a corner. Sticking with ham is the only way we survive

les and riches?”

“When he raises an army and storms Pidence City, you think we won’t get our share of titles

Joseph’s eyes up and he nodded repeatedly. “You really do have a point, Matthew!”

The two brothers happily sipped their coffee, completely oblivious to Henry’s stormy expression.

Henry thought bitterly, “If it weren’t for the threats from Nicolas and the forces behind him, I wouldn’t have ended up in such a dire predicament

With a heavy heart, Henry stepped outside.

He had barely taken a few steps when an elegant woman suddenly appeared before him, “Mr. Monson, where are you going?”
