Tangled By Fate

Chapter 506  NEGOTIATION

Arthur flew toward the witch and Queen Isabella. His eyes shot daggers at them.

"You have some nerve coming in front of me," he said in a menacing voice.

Queen Isabella wasn't afraid of him. She smirked.

Before she opened her mouth, Arthur's eyes went behind her and his pupils constricted.

A witch brought a woman wearing a white dress and placed her beside Queen Isabell. The woman's eyes were closed as if she was in deep sleep.

"Wait… isn't that Veronica?" Darius asked. "What is she here?"

"Can't you tell?" Zinnia gritted her teeth. "They abducted her while we were busy fighting them."

"But she was being guarded," Felix complained. "There is no way they picked her up without a fight."

"Even if that's true, why isn't she doing anything?" Darius asked.

"That's because Arthur put a sleeping spell on her. She won't be awake until evening," Merlin stated.

"Damn it!!!" Darius cursed.

Veronica was wearing a white silk sleeping gown. Her eyes were closed. She was surrounded by a purple aura that looked quite ominous.

Arthur clenched his fists.

"You dare to take her under my watch!"

His cold voice sent shivers down Queen Isabella's spine but she brushed off her worries.

She said, "Do you still want to threaten me, Master of the Magic Tower?"

"So, it seems you haven't forgotten who I am. Still, you are brave enough to take my wife. Your stupidity is beyond limits."

Queen Isabella viciously stared at him. "How dare you talk to me like this? To your queen?!"

Arthur replied in disdain, "A queen protects her people. You only know how to save yourself."

Queen Isabella's face turned red from the insult.

"So, you won't play nicely. I hope you can save your wife, Arthur."

With her signal, the black-dressed woman moved Veronica close to the edge.

From that huge tower, if she fell, she wouldn't die by crushing in the sand but the pain would be unimaginable. Worst of all, she wouldn't be able to heal herself.

"If you dare to harm a strand of her hair, you will regret you were ever born," Arthur warned her with a chilling voice.

He showed his strong demeanor in front of them but his heart was trembling in fear.

The witch's barrier was too strong for him to break in a second. He was worried they wouldn't let his wife off if he crossed their boundary.

 "It's surprising how caring you are, Master of the Magic Tower." Queen Isabella smirked.

She was enjoying Arthur's anxiety. She had been dreaming of cornering him. She could feel happiness building in her heart just from making him suffer.

'To think this bastard is the cause of my precious son's death. I'll make sure he regrets hurting my son,' she thought.

"Have you forgotten how you killed my son despite his pleading for his life?" she crudely asked.

Arthur narrowed his eyes. "He deserved it for hurting innocent women."

"Then, you deserve it for killing him. Say goodbye to your wife," saying that Queen Isabella signaled the black-dressed witch.

After getting her consent, the black-dressed woman pushed Veronica forward.

"Stop!" Arthur shouted. He clenched his fists to control his urge to break the barrier. "What do you want? I will give it to you."

Queen Isabella was pleased to hear that. She was hoping for that reaction.

She answered, "I want everything you own. Money, power, status and my son. I had everything until you showed up and you destroyed my life. I won't let you get away with this."

Arthur could give her money and status. But power and her dead son were to be brought back to life? How could he do that?

He carefully stated, "The moment you are caught, you will have nowhere to go. If you let my wife go, I'll spare your life."

Queen Isabella knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade him. Although he said he could give her everything she wanted, she knew that there were certain things he wouldn't be able to give her.

However, she still asked for it because she liked watching her enemy being tormented.

She raised an eyebrow as she stared at him.

"What if I don't? What if I push her to death?"

"You will regret it," Arthur coldly replied.

The corner of Queen Isabella's lips went up.

"Heh, you are a terrible negotiator. Give me everything I desire and I will let her go."

Arthur told her, "I will give you all the fortune I have. You will be able to live a luxurious life. As for your son, the dead cannot be revived."

Queen Isabella squinted her eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid? You revived your wife from death."

The moment she heard that Veronica was alive and currently resting at Arthur's tent, she and the rest of the witches were bewildered.

They had no idea how the cursed woman who should be on the brink of death came to the battlefield and was sleeping so peacefully.

The beautiful witch tried to confirm with the spies. When they confidently stated that Veronica was well and alive, she ordered several first-grade witches to kidnap her when the wizards would come to attack them.

When they successfully brought her to them, they examined her body and made sure that she was healthy. However, they didn't figure out how the incurable curse was gone from her body.

When the beautiful witch tried to put another curse on Veronica, she failed. They realized that Arthur put on some kind of spell on her to prevent any harm from coming to her.

That made them even more curious about the tonic that cured Veronica.

Arthur told them, "It wasn't me who dispelled the curse. It was a rare herb that grows once a thousand years. We already finished the latest one to make an antidote for my wife. There's none left."

Queen Isabella was surprised to hear that there was an herb that could cure a deadly curse like that. She was hopeful that if Veronica could be alive and healthy, then her son had a chance too. Unfortunately, nothing was left.

"You really disappoint me," saying that Queen Isabella pushed Veronica. Her sleeping body stumbled at the edge.
