It would be a dangerous game to play, but Elys was gradually warming up to that option. Alekander was already showing her signs of being worried of her all the time, perhaps it was not such a difficult thing to add to her hidden agendas aside from freeing her people.
Maybe she could even have the whole vampire kingdom in her hands if she played it right.
Maybe, Aleksander would give in to her and let her rule over him and the rest of his kingdom too. That would be a wonderful thing to do.
"Let go of him, wife," Aleksander said, "Let me help you."
Elys was jerked backed into reality when she heard Aleksander's displeased voice. She obliged with his request, but not fully.
She got up from pinning him with her whole body, but still held his legs still with a non-conventional tool. She put down her heels on his thighs, making him scream with pain as the pointed part of her combat boots dug into them.
