Chapter 677 - Gratitude, Hate & Wishes

When it came to the situation of his 2 aunts, William couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.

Alec had 3 official wives, and all 3 wanted nothing more than to kill each other.

Alec’s First Wife, Queen Sera... had aided her daughter, Cary... into killing third queen Argenia’s daughter, Jennette.

Of course, payback was a b**tch!

So Argenia had already made Cary more stable before killing both Cary and the first queen Sera.

Now there were just 2 queens in the mix.

Of course, second queen Eliza, who was Connor’s mother... was still looking for her missing son.

So she had asked some of the assassins to follow the moves of both Sera and Argenia, just in case they had a hand in Connor’s disappearance.

But who would’ve thought that she would get to hear of such a juicy play?

With Sera was dead, that meant that only Argenia and she remained.

So she had planned to take out Argenia before Alec arrived.

That way, she would be the only queen in Arcadina who was controlling the scenes from behind.

Coincidentally, the day they had their battle was the same day William had planned to lay siege on the palace.

And while both women were battling it out, William would swoop in and stop them before they could kill each other.

Of course with that said, he placed both women under house arrest and had some people treat their wounds for the time being.

.

Both women had been so stunned by the fact that Oden Barn had survived.

And once they got the gist of things, they quickly realized that their time and reign in the palace had finally come to an end.

Again, when Argenia heard that William was Mr. G.P, she couldn’t help but cry in gratitude.

If not for him, how would she have known the real culprits behind her children’s death?

Even if he was using her, he still aided her a lot in fulfilling her plans for revenge.

And now that he even brought up the matter of Alec’s capture, how could she not be thankful?

She leaned towards him and cry pitifully.

This was all that kept her alive.

Of course, she knew that she wouldn’t be allowed to personally behead Alec... as so many people were standing in line for that.

The guy had killed his own father, so wouldn’t his brother want revenge too?

Not to talk about Mona Ferris, whose entire household had been burned down ages ago.

In fact, Alec probably had thousands of people, both nobles and peasants that personally wanted him dead.

So she knew that asking to behead him would be a bit too much.

That was why she had asked to personally stab 100 times before he was beheaded.

But William had only agreed to grant her 2 ’stab opportunities’ in regions that couldn’t kill him.

After all, they needed him conscious for the beheading ceremony.

Additionally, Argenia also requested to move into a quiet village and live the rest of her life in solitude there.

Both of her children were gone, so what l she was looking for was a resting place.

William felt a little pity for her since he was clear that she wanted to kill herself there.

Nonetheless, he had also promised her that after Alec’s death... he would personally take care of the matter.

That was it on Argenia’s end.

But as for Eliza, she wasn’t having it!

.

Eliza felt like someone was personally tormenting her.

After all her meticulous planning for Connor to take over the throne, how could she allow anyone else sit there?

She started growling and biting those who treated her wounds, as she felt like they were simply looking down on her.

Additionally, from the moment William had told her that Connor had been locked up in a very far away place... she had spared no effort to bite and attack him more than twice.

But what could she do against him?

William just felt that being truthful here was the best thing to do.

So he had ensured her that Connor was safe and would even be released after some years.

He had also told her about all visitation rights in Baymard and so on.

So if she truly wanted to see her son, then she can go see him anytime she wanted.

Of course... all this still pissed Eliza off, as she looked at William as if he was the main culprit in charge of giving her baby such a cruel fate.

But she had been quick to forget that it was Connor that had attacked William first.

She screamed and banged her door madly as she wanted to get out now and see her poor baby.

In her mind, the only thing that she wanted to do right now, was to assemble all of her men and march them straight into Baymard.

Of course, she also wanted to get more men from the officials and novels that used to support her son.

In her mind, now was the time for them to prove their loyalty.

But how would she have known that many of the officials and nobles felt like they were currently walking on eggshells too?

Everything came so suddenly that no one in the Capital had the time to think about helping others now.

Some officials even decided to abandon their families and run away with their wealth.

So if they could abandon their wives and children, what about her?

Please!

She was all on her own on this one.

.

"You lowly son of a b**ch!

Release me this instant, or I won’t be able to guarantee the safety of your family when I finally leave." Eliza said angrily while trying to untie herself from the bed.

William looked at her and sighed.

"Aunty, you will be freed 4 days from now just as planned.

So please, don’t injure the maids or doctor that come in to treat you again."

"Pui!

So what if I abused them a bit?

What are you going to do about it?

Do you think that all this will make my hatred for you go away?

Dream on!

Listen here, boy!

No matter what happens in future, I will definitely make you pay for what you’ve done to my baby.

This is my promise to you!" Eliza said sternly.

William just looked at her and smiled.

Apart from pity, the only reason why he kept her alive was so that she could see her son again.

That was in a way, his last bit of kindness towards her.

He wasn’t a fool!

He knew that after she left, he would concentrate all her savings and men into rescuing Connor.

But in his mind, the prison he saw was almost impenetrable.

In fact, he was sure that they wouldn’t even be able to get passed Baymard’s Landport... talk less of attempting a prison break.

Eliza would waste all her money and resources on that and get broke later on.

Even if she sold herself to rich noblemen or even worked hard to get more resources... she still won’t be able to get him out.

And when reality finally touched her, she would have no choice but to wait patiently for her son to be released.

Who knows, many she might even become humble, work earnestly and save money for her son’s life after prison.

But William had already decided that he would give Connor an Eli some money after they left prison.

Of course, the money would be given to them in Baymard the moment they came out of prison.

From what he knew, they were sentenced to 12 years in prison.

So they should be out by the time they were in their middle or late thirties.

And by then, Eliza should also be in her early 50’s.

After all, she gave birth to Connor when she was around 16 years old.

Again.. he also heard that if they were good... then they might even be released earlier than expected.

So maybe when they were 30, 31 or even 32, they might be released, rather than waiting for a few more years.

Anyway, he only hoped that by then, they could live an honest life with the money they had been given, and even start a family at best.

And he would definitely send some men to monitor, as well as protect them if they had really changed.

For now, William looked at his fiery aunty and sighed.

Only time would show her how foolish her thoughts were.
