Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Royal Palace
The ecstasy Sansa was feeling right now could not be described with words. Apart from other reasons for Sansa to operate her organization from the shadows, the rush Sansa felt witnessing the aftermath of the destruction caused by her as the third person, was why she never got bored of her second identity as Matron. This right here was one of Sansa’s many fetishes as a highly intelligent sadistic sociopath.
Masking her pleasure with anxiety and worry she asked Colleen, “Your highness, why is it going to be difficult for us to adopt that child?”
A deep frown had formed on Demigod Baylor’s head, he gazed at Colleen waiting for her to explain herself.
Colleen knew Sansa did not care about the boy so she did not fall for her act but from the reaction of demigod Baylor it seemed to her that he was being serious when he said that he would adopt his friend’s orphan son. This gave her a headache, as she would have to come up with a good reason if planned to stall demigod Baylor from adopting the boy.
Colleen thought hard and then said, “I say that because Dalton Wyatt has been accused of serious crimes. Right now he is under royal custody as we investigate his crimes. Forget adopting him, you people will not be able to meet until his innocence is proven.”
Having said that, Colleen could not help but thank her daughter for having foreseen something like this and spreading the rumors that the boy was a fraudster who defrauded the southern emperor on every social media outlet available.
Unfortunately for Colleen, if only she had contacted her granddaughter she would know that there was a better excuse she could use than the one her daughter had cooked up. But that thought never crossed her mind and Anna did not bother to report back to her family that the boy died because she was aware he faked his death successfully for the second time and felt that the unrest this misconception could create was not worth it.
“What?” Sansa exclaimed in disbelief. This time her disbelief was genuine as she was waiting for Colleen to report the boy being assassinated but instead, she heard something outside her expectation.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 “What do you mean?” Demigod Baylor’s gaze at Colleen turned unfriendly and a baleful aura leaked from his body. As someone who oversees big responsibilities and passes life-altering judgments, this was unexpected from demigod Baylor. He instantly assumed that Ellen’s son was being framed and his heart just jumped head first with only one feeling which was to defend the boy no matter what. His mind did not even bother to wait for a second and listen to either side and judge who was right and who was wrong. For him, all that mattered was that Ellen’s son was in trouble and he had to save him at any cost.
That was how much he was unreasonably in love with Ellen. His love for her knew no bounds, he was willing to suffer for eternity just to see her happy. That was why he helped his love elope with someone else and now he was going to do everything in his power to help her orphan son so that her soul could rest peacefully in the afterlife.
For a powerful demigod with a palace full of achievements, this was his Demigod Baylor’s baggage. Any man in his place would be disgusted with their actions but not him, in his words,
‘This Life Just For You, My Dear Ellen.’
Feeling the malice-filled aura leaking from the demigod Baylor, the palace guards and the royal guards jumped into action to defend their queen. From the aura leaked by the palace guards, it can be seen that the highest realm among them was card semi-demigod and they made most of the palace guards. As for the Royal guards, they were all in the demigod realm.
“Kid, as a favor to your superiors back at the central capital, I will forgive you this once. So learn to control your baleful aura because if there is a next time I will take one of your arms even if it means getting on the wrong side of the old bones watching over the central capital,” Colleen warned demigod Baylor as she signaled the guards to stand down.
She meant every word she said and as the queen of the south, she had the power to do so and withstand the consequences that would follow.
Demigod Baylor was the poster boy for the Central government. If someone were to harm him it would be equal to hurting the prestige of the central government. So the old generation who were protecting and overseeing the current government would not like Colleen hurting Demigod Baylor for whatever reason she had. But that did not matter to Colleen as she was a Heatsend, their wealth may not be close to what the government had but their strength and authority were not to be underestimated.
With Colleen’s warning, Demigod Baylor controlled his emotions and hid his aura. Then he apologized to her, “Please forgive my rudeness, your highness.”
“Demigod Baylor, you must be busy cleaning the central government’s mess, I can understand you not being able to keep up with current news but what about your wife? The whole world is talking about what your friend’s orphan did, I am surprised that neither you nor your wife has heard about it yet,” Colleen frowned as she said this trying to imply how serious this issue was. As for taking a shot at Sansa, she could not help herself. Compared to the plans Sansa has for her family and the southern region this was nothing.
“Sansa, what is her highness talking about?” Demigod Baylor asked his wife who appeared to be still trying to understand the situation.
“Honey, I too have been busy lately, I don’t know what her highness is talking about,” Sansa instantly answered her husband with a lie.
She had heard about the silver milk powder fraud, but she lied because she did not want her husband to blame her for not informing him about this matter and considering that she was the one who asked him to wait and head to the southern region later, she would come off as deliberate and purposeful.
