Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: The architect of shadows

The following day, in an abadon warehouse deep in the outskirts of Prinna city, Jaiz sats down, speaking on the phone.

"Your highness, It seem's like Mubarak has failed to execute the plan. Should we still continue to the next phase?"

"Not yet," Mauja replies. "There's still one more person we have to be careful with. Daughter of Ali isn't to be taken lightly. That scheming little bastard could ruin everything for us if taken lightly."

"Should we eliminate the threat?"

"There's a probability that she has awoken just like me. We should focus on finding the scarlet blade for now before proceeding to eliminate her. How are thing's going on your side?"

"Still no sign of Hiruko, but Zebrew has managed to find her way back to the palace. As ordered I've locked her up in the dugeon. She still think's her daughter is alive."

"Leave the execution to Manu. Let's see whether she's really caught out of this or not. By tomorow she would make her way into the palace."

"Jabar dead body has been sent back to Mumbai. Sadly he failed to execute Alex, and I haven't found any traces of Charle's son."

Mauja clenche's her fists. "Useless! I could have just ended that old man sooner. Make sure his son don't get to Alex at all cost or else all our efforts would be for waste. As for Alex it's high time we isolate him again. Zuko's child is starting to become a distraction finish your mission and end him."

"Yes my queen. We found out his parent's hiding place but as expected of Zuko they changed thier hide out before we could get to them. Thier on the run now. Zuko is still trying to get his hands on the throne. What should we do?"

Mauja chuckles softly. "So Ali failed to execute them? Well there the least of our problem's now. Flora must be trying to get access to Aruna again." She scoff's. "She isn't aware of the existence of Alex and her son yet. We should try laying low for a while there's this wanna be inspector in Sumdem that's trying to know more than he can chew. Such action's could lead to his early demise."

"Should I end him?"

"Not yet. Let's give him some little hope." She smirk's. "Killing him now would just ruin everything."

"Madam Safeera failed to end Alex and in the process killed herself. Before passing on she made a statement that made Alex start having some doubt."

Mauja smiles coldly. "She got what she deserved anyway. What a waste that poison cost me something and she couldn't even get the damn job right."

"We have also found Mubarak replacement, his working for Zanu as we speak. He got the role of the secret messenger."

"Good, he should put an eye on Manu. Well till then—" She hang's up and throws her phone. "Why can't you be a good boy Alex and die already, your irritating me..."

Suddenly, Aruna barges into the room.

"Why am I in chains? I already told you I won't interfere in your work again."

Mauja smiles. "Care to explain about the piece of paper found in my old diary?"

Aruna's face turn's pale.

"No matter how hard you try, You can't just beat me. You refused to die, Refused to awaken, What's the use of your existence then? I am a patient person but my patience has limits. I didn't agree to give birth to a child that would ruin what I planned for years." She laughs softly. "You should thank me that your still alive I don't have use of stupid thing's and the fact that you keep on dacing to that illusion of control, tsk tsk tsk tsk."

She snaps her finger's. Five hefty men dressed in black appear.

"Next time she escapes I would make sure y'all suffer. Add more chains if you have to. I don't mind you cutting of her limbs just don't let her come close to me again. Got it?"

They respond in unison and drag her away as her screams fill the room.
