She took a deep breath before pressing the button.
“I'm locked up in prison. I need you to get me out.”
There was no telling what the other person on the end of the line said, but Nancy’s face was scrunched up. You're fishing in troubled waters!
Although she knew that the other party was taking advantage of her situation, Nancy did not have another alternative. She had to agree to the terms.
“Fine. I'll give you what you want, but only after you get me out,” Nancy uttered coldly, holding back her anger.
“Deal. You'll be out in no time. I'll go get you myself.”
Nancy's eyes darkened after she hung up.
“What did you just agree to, Your Majesty?” Monisha inquired softly when she spotted that the queen mother looked upset.
“Half of my military weapons,” Nancy answered through gritted teeth.
I wouldn't have to give up on my military power if it were not for that ingrate! Half of what I have'. That's just too high a price to pay!
Monisha's eyes widened like saucers. That is outrageous! No wonder Her Majesty looks so furious.
“Well, freedom is priceless, Your Majesty,” Monisha comforted. “I know you are willing to give up all the military arms you have just to regain freedom, no?”
She's right. Given my circumstance, I will agree to whatever terms as long as I can get out. Since this is inevitable, I might as well do it happily. I can't show any sign of unwillingness when dealing with that man.
