"I don't think we can save her." She told in cool and composed manners.
Her listener was, on the contrary, was angrily stomping her feet. Susan gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. She looked very angry.
"How did you come to that realization?" Susan asked her in anger.
Maya lifted her eyes to her and calmly told her "I did come to this realization after your sister refused to take our help. Most of our helps were even beheaded in punishment by her guards. She was not at all listening to us."
"Then my sacrifice is futile." Susan rushed to Maya while saying "And yours too."
Maya seemed tired to her when she uttered this - "Don't think about me. I have already out of anyone's league."
"What do you mean by that?!!" Susan asked.
"Nothing." She nodded her head and suddenly asked her "Is there anyone who can convince her?"
Susan made a face and then answered "I think so. Rex Hamillton can convince her."
"Who is he?" Maya asked her.
"Rex is her love and would be fiance." Susan answered her.
.....
"You want us to invite Rex Hamilton to face Sumona? Do you think he can convince her?" Patrick asked this to Maya, his first wife and his most trusted one.
She stood up and went to the window. She peeked through it towards the horizon and did not answer.
"Tell me frankly." He asked her again in loud voice.
She turned sharply to him and answered "No, I don't. At this time no woman want to face her ex when she had been conceived another man's seed. But it is beneficial to make friend with him."
"Why? But why?" He asked again.
"Because he is a powerful descendent of Lord Michael Hamilton, the ruler of sixth powerful Vampire clan. He is a vampire himself and when he will know about his lover's current condition, he will join with us all by himself. And to make the bond strong we can ask one favor from him too." She answered him in confident voice.
"What favor?" He asked her.
"We can ask the hands of his young sister, ravishing beauty, Rena's hand in marriage for you and in exchange give him your distant cousin Ophelia to him. In this way our mutual bond will be strong and we can fight against David Barrington and his would wife Alicia's clan with ease." She mentioned in composed manner.
Patrick found himself dumbfounded. This woman made him amazed every second. He failed to understand her little brain now. Till now he was in love with her body but now he admired her courage and intelligence.
He went to her and forced her to face him. He kissed her lips in gratitude saying -
"You are a true queen. I am honored to have you beside me."
She smiled a little and bowed her head to him. This appreciation seemed meaningless to her.
...
"Hello, Sir Rex, we announce our happiness to receive you wholeheartedly." Patrick happily told the new guest.
"I am not impressed at all. You are decent in your happiness but I want her. Not your own cousin." Rex Hamilton snorted aloud.
All looked at him in awe. Why he was telling this now when everything was settled on??!!
"Do you still want to have her??!!" Maya asked him.
Rex Hamilton looked at her in disgust. He always thought that women and girls were just to warm up man's bed. They were not at all allowed to be in the court.
She looked at him in disregard too. She knew this kind of man. They never gave an ounce respect to any girl. They treat women just as a womb to produce the heirs and they used the girls to be in their beds.
"Who the hell are you?!!" He asked her.
"She is our queen." Lady Edwina answered.
"Ohh. You mean that woman who had been shared equally in between two men." He laughed so loudly that everyone looked at him in utter shock.
Sebastian clenched his fist. Others too.
Patrick gritted his teeth in extreme rage. Even Susan, sat hiding behind a big green curtian, flinched and took her curved dagger in her hands. She wanted to cut of this filthy man's head immediately.
Only Maya seemed uneffected of her insult. She looked placidly to Rex and uttered in a cold authoritativs tone -
"I hope you are also reafy to share your own woman to others. That's why you want to take a bit of another man's concubine."
Mr. Hamilton stopped laughing abruptly. He never thought a mere woman would snap back on him in public. He looked at the face of the other members gathered in the hall. No one of them dared to challenge his authority except this petty woman. He would certainly teach her a lesson if she would be her pet. He looked at Patrick in anger and yelled aloud - "Now I see why you are so weak. You fight back hiding behind women who are nothing but toys for males. Shame on you. Young Master, shame on you. With this weakness, you dare to challenge allpowerful master Sir David?!! Why don't surrender to him and lick his shoes. He will surely save your life." Then he pointed his index finger to Maya "But not you. A flithy b**ch like you never deserves to be spared. You should die crashingunder his massive power."
All of a sudden a silver curved dagger flied out towards him in great force and beheaded him instantly. The arrogance of Rex Hamilton ended with his death very soon. He lied down there in the pool of blood and gore.
All looked at the incident in great shock. None could comprehend what had happened just now.
Susan apprered from the curtain and came to Patrick. He looked at her in awe. He never knew that his new bride was so good soldier.
"You can punish me, My Lord. But I can't afford to take my sister's insult like this way." She told it to him while holding her head straight.
"I think she was right in her act. But in reality the political situation can be worse after this." Lady Edwina tried to intervene.
Patrick was not interested in it. He was now staring hard at Susan.
Maya came forward and took her hands in her own. She then told her "Don't worry baby sist. When men are keeping silent by seeing the insult of thier wife, there only a woman has to come forward to take her revenge."
She then held her head straight in pride too and faced Patrick while saying this -
"If you want to give her a punihment, O Young Master, then you should punish me with her."
