Chereads / All Hail The Queen / Chapter 7 - The Plan

Chapter 7 - The Plan

Scarlet called Gilda and Beckhamn and when they entered the room they saw Scarlet opening Elliot's cell and Pierre outside of his cell.

"Your Majesty what are you doing?" Gilda clamored.

Beckhamn would like to ask but the frantic handmaiden beat him.

"We had an agreement; I shall grant all of my consorts' freedom if we successfully stop this rebellion." Scarlet answered.

"The commander is free from you?!"

"How could you trust these people your majesty!"

Both Gilda and Beckhamn shouted at the same time.

Scarlet frowned as she finally unlocked Elliot from his cell.

While Wynter who was waiting for his turn burst out laughing.

"Hey old hag did you know that the bitch your serving is not the real Scarlet!" he asked, mockingly.

"Preposterous! How could you defame the Queen? "Your Majesty, please reconsider your actions," Gilda begged.

'What does he mean, Your Majesty? Who is not real?" Beckham, on the other hand, questioned.

"That's right, knight, the queen you were serving before is not the real deal; she said it was a demon, and she is the real Scarlet," Wynter added and Beckhamn's expression was filled with amazement and confusion.

"How dare you call her majesty a demon, guards kill this man he is slandering and defaming our queen?!" Gilda shouted at the knights at the door.

"Maybe you are also a demon." Ragna mockingly said out of the blue.

Scarlet internally smirked when she heard.

"Maybe she is, Beckhamn captured Gilda and put her on the cell." Scarlet ordered.

"You're majesty?!" Gilda shouted in disbelief.

Still confused Beckhamn still followed her orders and grabbed the handmaiden that had been infuriating him since before.

"Keep your filthy hands away from me! How could you have done this to me, Your Majesty?! This is not you, my queen. You can't do this to me! Please wake up these men are using and brainwashing you! Please, Your Majesty, please listen to me!" Gilda screamed and Wynter laughed his ass off at her.

"Who is the real me, Gilda? You only became my handmaiden when I was fifteen, you don't know everything about me." Scarlet stated dramatically when Gilda is fully imprisoned in Elliot's former cell.

'You've been such an annoying old woman sorry but I don't want my plans to be ruined by you.'

"Your Majesty, the Byren will not allow this." Gilda warned.

Scarlet grimaced, based on [her] memories the Byren are one of the Merchant families in the kingdom and [Scarlet] had been having business deals with.

"How dare you threaten the queen of this kingdom? Have you forgotten one of my consorts is the heir of the Escalus Trading Company, a small merchant family like yours are nothing to them?" Scarlet smugly stated.

One of the deals of [Scarlet] and the Byren is to interfere with the Escalus Trading Company and that's one of the reasons why [Scarlet] marked Heiner Van Bramford the heir and apparently a very distant relative.

"Your Majesty!" She shouted on her top her lungs but Scarlet ignored her pleas and continued opening the next cell which is Siegfried's.

Unconsciously she checked his love rate and once again it rose at one point.

Name: Seigfried Castillion

Love rate: 52/100 ]

'What made him like her again? Imprisoning Gilda? What a weirdo. '

When she finally opened his cell, he walked towards her and suddenly leaned down.

When Scarlet sensed someone touched her lips, her eyes grew big, and she unconsciously hit him in the stomach, causing him to falter and complain in agony.

Name: Seigfried Castillion

Love rate: 54/100 ]

Siegfried grinned while she looked at him in shock.

'Her damn first kiss was taken by the mother fucking weirdo'

"Hello? Aren't we going to save the kingdom? Why are two flirting?" Wynter interrupts while rolling his eyes at them.

Scarlet glared at him and walked towards Beckham who is confused through the whole ordeal.

"You open those two cells immediately." She grumbles at the poor knight as she throws the keys towards him.

Scarlet stood next to Pierre who was silent and solemn the moment he stepped out of his cell, she checked his love rate to make sure it didn't decrease.

[Name : Pierre Von Everlane

Love rate: 1/100]

She inwardly sighed on relief when there were no changes to his love rate.

Scarlet mentally curses the system, she has read many transmigration and reincarnation novels in her life on Earth but the system they have mostly help them on their adventures and even the [main character] of this story her system was very kind and gave her full of rewards and light quests but hers is out to make her lost her mind and out right kill her.

"Your Majesty, how can we help you?" Elliot asked, shyly.

Scarlet looked at him.

Among her entire consort Elliot is the most timid and innocent which [Scarlet] like, next to Aiden he was her favorite.

"Hmm. I intend to use the royal grounds to catch the enemies. Many people are unaware that the palace has a unique defense system that only a Fiora can use, but I just gave birth and my mana is insufficient to sustain it, which is why I need you to assist me in capturing them, especially your Wynter." She stated as she watched Beckhamn successfully unlock Wynter's cell.

"Do you want me to supply you with mana?" Wynter rolled his eyes and replied, "In your dreams."

"It's not me but the defense system you will be supplying. Though I am the only one who can unlock and use it you can indirectly help by pouring mana on that object." Scarlet countered.

"What is this defense system?" Siegfried wondered.

"It's the trees. The Fiora in the Salvatore Family are able to control plants and earth and in this palace the oldest and hardest trees in the continent exist. "

"The Escalus tree?" Pierre answered.

"Yes, in fact if you supply the Escalus tree with a lot of mana it can withstand any magical attack but it's hard to control and needs a ton of mana. We just need to trap the rebel so it won't take long after that Commander Kroft will take action. Siegfried and Beckhamn with some of the remaining knights will also make a surprise attack and assist him. Pierre is known for his archery, I planned to have him standby with the other knights who are good in archery and if the plan failed we can attack with the archers as back support. Elliot you will be healing the injured knights afterwards. "Scarlet recounted her plan.

The knowledge about Escalus trees is based on [Scarlet's] memory of when she was ten years old when her royal tutors discussed her responsibility and what she needed to learn as Fiora.

"And what is my role." Ragna asked when he exited his cells as he threw the muzzle on her feet.

She flinched.

Ragna is [Scarlet's] hot-headed and rebellious consort, who always tests her tolerance and makes her enjoy tormenting the man to make him submit to her.

Scarlet had a deep breathe.

"I want you to give him the plan. You are the one among us who can approach the battlefield in your wolf form and evade the opponents the quickest." She explained.

With frustration, she watched the clock on the interface and said, "Ragna, I know you hate me, but this is not the time we need to save people."

"Since everyone is freed let's go upstairs and swiftly prepare for battle.

"Your majesty, are you leaving me here?" Gilda interrupt.

"Yes Gilda." She replied as a matter of fact that made Wynter amused and he burst out laughing.

"You are so heartless, your majesty. How could you leave your beloved hand maiden rotting on the cell?" Wynter mocked as they ventured the hallways.

"I have no time for your jokes, Lord Wynter Vi Valentine." She rolled her eyes towards him.

"Che--What a loser." He spit.

Towards the walk everyone was quiet with different thoughts on their mind but the silence was interrupted when Scarlet saw Augustus Pyre and his son Lionel walking towards them.

Augustus is the palace butler, clad in a crisp butler uniform, with cleanly combed white hair and brown eyes full of honesty, which caused [Scarlet] to disregard him and prefer her boisterous handmaiden to serve her. Unlike his father, who quietly serves on the sidelines, Lionel, the young butler that always expresses his hate for [Scarlet].

Lionel is a handsome man who inherited his parents' good looks. He has long, dark brown hair that is tied on the side, sharp brown eyes hidden behind square-rimmed glasses, a neat appearance, and is tall and lean. Perhaps because of his appearance, [Scarlet] had decided not to kill him and the knight Beckhamn despite their obvious distaste for her and their unfiltered mouths.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lancaster is busy saving people and keeps everything in an ordeal despite the chaos." Augustus stated.

"The higher nobles are also busy saving themselves." Lionel added in dislike.

"Lionel! Forgive my son for your majesty, the chaos had him anxious." Augustus scolded.

"I am not an anxious father, I am stating the fact."

"Lionel!"

Augustus slaps the back of his son that made him groaned in pain.

"I am sorry, your majesty." The old man pleads.

"It is okay, Augustus; your work here is done; you should find a safe place with your family; we must now leave; we have a rebellion to put down." Scarlet dismissed, but before she could begin walking, a person appeared in front of them, dressed in black, and their eyes were visible.

Beckhamn was shocked but vigilant as he drew his blade towards the figure, while the others were all on guard in case the intruder attacked them, particularly Scarlet.

"Who are you?!" He shouted.
