Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
The aide: “…”
The aide looked at the captain and yelled furiously, “What do we do now? Think of something! If Barbarian was here, he’d definitely be able to take the Queen out of here!”
The captain frowned and said, “I didn’t expect the mysterious organization to be so powerful that they could even infiltrate the Swiss government… Don’t worry, everyone will rush upstairs once they hear the gunshots. There aren’t many of them, so they will be subdued very soon!”
The aide, however, yelled, “There may not be many of them, but all of them are fighters ready to lay down their lives! They are risking their lives precisely to stop the people downstairs from saving us!”
Fighters ready to lay down their lives for their missions did not fear death.
Moreover, the corridor was narrow. By staying there, they were preventing the Queen from going out and stopping people from coming in just so they could burn the Queen alive.
Now, the captain could either charge out there and fight those people outside to death, or they could stay there and wait for their deaths.
The captain was certainly willing to risk his life. But the problem was that once he charged out there, should he die, there would really be no one left to protect the Queen! Until the assailants barged into the room, the captain’s duty was to stay by the Queen’s side and protect her. At the window, Nora found herself for words as she listened to their conversation.
She was originally planning to jump down by herself, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of the Queen’s facial expression when she said that she would give the figurine to Cherry.
The Queen was arrogant, but it seemed that she wasn’t entirely useless either.
When she thought of this, Nora suddenly put on Black Cat’s mask and walked over abruptly. The moment she moved, the captain noticed her presence, and he immediately pointed his gun at her.
Nora couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on him, so she cast a silver needle at the muzzle, pushing it away from her. Then, she went up to the Queen and grabbed her arm. Immediately after, she rushed to the window and leaped out!
“Ahhh!”
The Queen thought that she would be smashed into pulp, but unexpectedly, the speed at which she was plunging suddenly dropped to zero. Only then did she realize that Nora was clutching a rope with her other hand.
It was unknown what kind of material the rope was made of, but it was resistant to fire.
However, because Nora had only one hand to grip the rope with, her hand ended up rubbing tightly against the rope. Moreover, she was even carrying another person’s weight. This led to the glove becoming damaged from the friction, which caused her palm to bleed.
Bam!
Nora landed on the ground.
As for the Queen, she fell onto the ground.
At this point…
A screech of tires rang out-Barbarian was back from picking up the guest. He jumped out of the car and ran toward the Queen. “Your Majesty, are you all right?” Barbarian helped the Queen up.
The Queen got up. The woman, who had experienced many assassination attempts in her life, was calm and collected. She replied, “I’m fine. Where’s King?”
“I’ve brought him here.”
Following Barbarian’s reply, the door of the car opened and a tall familiar-looking figure got out of the car.
King wore a black, patternless mask covering his entire face in the darkness. He also wore a black trench coat that fully wrapped around him.
Apart from his height, one couldn’t tell anything of his appearance at first glance.
King was like the ruler of the night. Just him standing there, a chilling aura enveloped the surroundings, such that no one around them dared take him lightly.
At the sight of him, the Queen neatened her hair and smoothed her skirt. Then, with a smile, she started to walk over to King.
Barbarian, however, said, “Why don’t you see a doctor before going over? King is not in a hurry.”
The Queen had long since regained her usual poise and grace. She placed her hands at her abdomen and kept her back straight as she, in strict accordance with court etiquette, walked over to King. As she did, she said, “Mr. King is already here. If I choose to go to the doctor now, wouldn’t I be snubbing him?”
Barbarian hesitated for a while and then tried to dissuade her again. “There’s been an assassination attempt on your life, hasn’t it? It’s fine even if you make him wait a bit.”
Although there had been an assassination attempt on her life, and the Queen had been awfully flustered when she was upstairs just now, she maintained her pride at this moment and deliberately said within earshot of King, “This little hiccup is nothing. I’ve seen worse.”
“… But our bodyguards are all still upstairs,” said Barbarian.
“Why do you have so many excuses?” The Queen interrupted him and said reproachfully, “As my first bodyguard, you should learn to stay calm.”
The Queen spoke very gracefully and took the opportunity to educate him. Then, she added, “Besides, didn’t a lot of people from the Assassin Alliance and the Hitmen League also come over? It is their honor to protect me!”
After speaking, she looked at Nora with a gentle and elegant smile and said, “There are so many talented people around. Black Cat here can even mount the eaves and walk the walls!”
Nora glanced at her, hesitant to speak and also at a loss for words.
While the Queen was speaking, she had already come up to King. She bowed gracefully and said, “Long time no see, Mr. King.”
The Queen had practiced the action numerous times in front of the mirror.
King was not someone one could meet all the time.
The last time the two of them met had been three years ago.
The Queen maintained her pride and self-esteem in front of the person she liked, wishing to show him only her best.
King hesitated for a moment. His dark eyes first glanced behind her, seemingly passing over Black Cat quickly before he returned a bow of his own and said, “Long time no see, Your Majesty.”
King spoke in Welsh, his voice deep and pleasant.
The Queen’s eyes lit up, and she continued in Welsh and said, “Mr. King is as charming as ever.”
King, however, looked around and didn’t answer.
Seeing this, the Queen suddenly realized something. She suddenly looked at Nora and asked in English, “Black Cat, do you speak Welsh?”
Nora shook her head without hesitation.
Only then did the Queen put her mind at ease.
King probably had some things that he couldn’t quite mention in public, so the two would need to have a private chat. Besides… Black Cat had been upstairs just now, who knew when she had reached there? The things that she and her aide had said in Welsh weren’t suitable for outsiders’ ears. However, now that she knew Black Cat didn’t speak Welsh, she could rest assured.
Only then did the Queen look at King.
For some reason, she felt that King seemed relieved too.
Although he still sounded distant, his words were more or less still pleasant. He said, “Your Majesty is as radiant as ever.”
The Queen covered her mouth and laughed. She said, “Really? I thought I’d aged since we last met three years ago.”
King: “…”
He gave the Queen a complicated glance and then replied, “Not at all. It seems that time doesn’t move for you, Ma’am.”
The Queen lowered her eyes and said, “I heard that you now have a daughter too. As it happens, she and my daughter are good friends. Your fiancée, Nora Smith, and I are also old friends. She was round and plump back then, but I heard that she has lost weight and become much prettier? I wonder who is more beautiful, me or her?”
… Hah, I have now witnessed for myself our farce of a friendship, Nora thought to herself.
At the mention of Nora, King glanced at Black Cat again. Something flashed across his dark eyes as though he was weighing something. At last, he said in Welsh, “You have a grander presence, Ma’am.”
The Queen bit her lip.
King hadn’t said that she was more beautiful but only that she had a grander presence. Although it sounded perfunctory, it was already very rare for him to say that.
As a businessman, King rarely participated in power struggles. Although he maintained good relations with the authorities of various countries, he never curried favors with them.
For every country, in addition to the military, their economy was also of utmost importance.
Therefore, no matter where he went, King was always welcomed, and he was also the object of everyone’s favor. Besides, King had said it straight to her face that she was ugly.
After a separation of three years, the man had surprisingly become less mean.
The Queen’s face glowed even more radiantly than before.
She smiled and asked, “Then, shall we have dinner tonight? Will Mr. King grace me with his presence?”
King answered, “It’d be an honor to.”
After speaking, he glanced at Nora again and then deliberately said in English, “It’s a custom in the UK to conduct business over a meal anyway, so it’s not a problem.”
