NTR: I became a noble?-Chapter 189 Revelation!!
"Leave us alone!!" Queen ordered Selena and Lucas, her eyes fixed on her bangle.
...
Lucas and Selena looked at each other and then at the queen before they decided to follow their queen's order.
Though, they were curious about the topic that the queen and Rae would be discussing. It was their first time meeting each other, as far as both of them knew.
Inside the room, only the queen and Rae were standing facing each other. The queen seemed little hesitant to speak.
"I assume you know something?" Rae said as he signalled for the queen to seat with him. He sat back on the sofa that he had been waiting on.
'She looks hesitant but it also shows that she is fearing something, her body is too stiff to be considered polite.' Experience more on novelbuddy
'At this point, she is just deciding between her options, scared of the consequences that the decision might bring.' Rae thought as he glanced at the figure of queen, her fingers fiddling.
"Did that assumption make you talk with me in a casual manner?" Finally, the queen decided to reply in casual manner. As if she had given up on her life, she changed her demeanor and decided to talk comfortably with Rae.
Though, her body was still not completely relaxed under Rae's meticulous eyes.
Rae smiled after hearing the question about etiquettes from the queen. It was her attempt to set up the power dynamic and get comfortable. He just nodded with a smile at her question, his gesture would have offended anyone else but not the queen.
Rae wanted her to continue answering his question. The sudden stiffening of her body, her hesitant attitude, and her decision to engage in a secret conversation with him. All of them pointed at a certain conclusion.
"Yes, I do know about your identity." The queen nodded, finally answering the question that the young man in front of him had been curious about all along.
She looked at Rae's facial expressions, hoping to get some feedback from his expression. Unfortunately, it was not possible for her to read Rae's expression.

"My identity? Hmmm" Rae smiled nonchalantly, he was somewhat expecting this answer after seeing the queen's decision to engage in a private conversation with him.
It would not have been suspicious for Rae but the queen had an artifact on her wrist, a bangle that seemed to be lighting up slightly and radiating heat.
And another important point, the queen had no reason to be that hesitant and scared when communicating with just a student.
"Is it that bangle like artifact in your hand? That one seems to be heating up after you have entered here." Rae glanced at queen's face which seemed to be relaxed after his nonchalant reaction to the revelation.
He had already noticed that the bangle in her hands seemed to be working like an artifact. Just when she had come face to face with him, even before that, the artifact seemed to be acting up.
It was obvious to him that the artifact was reacting to him, just as she kept coming close to him, it began to heat up which seemed like a signal.
"It is! This artifact reacts to people of your kind. There is another one in the royal palace which gets the same reaction." Queen answered Rae's question and revealed a shocking fact in front of an outsider.
The royal palace, the heart of the kingdom, protected by many warriors and the leader of all the count families in the Kingdom, the queen of that kingdom was admitting to the presence of a demon in the royal palace.
'Someone like me? There is another demon in the palace? And he has not been found out and killed as of yet?'
'From the looks of it, she seemed to be hesitant not because of my identity but the fear that I'd be connected to that character!' Rae made assumptions as he heard the shocking revelation from the queen herself.
He had not expected the royal palace to have a demon.
"Someone like me? Which faction does he belongs to?" Rae asked queen directly, the question seemed to of paramount importance.
The faction under which the demon was working was obviously not the king's right? Rae could not help but jump to conclusions, connecting the recent troubles that the kingdom and the nobles had been experiencing.
What could have caused the queen and king factions to fall out with each other? A demon perhaps, a demon who was born a demon.
"Obviously, the king's side!!" Queen answered with indignant tone. She was the biggest victim of the demon. The instability of her position within the kingdom was the work of that demon's schemes.
"And what is your intentions with me? Telling me the insiders news." Rae asked after adjusting to the fact that there was a demon in king's faction. The hierarchy of the nobles in kingdom had became clear to him. He was able to realise the real person behind the evil.
'What does she want with me? Why would she bother telling me, a demon, about the presence of another demon?'
'Does she hope that I would fight with that demon after learning about him?' Rae stared at the queen, waiting for her to answer his question.
"I have heard about your people, the deals they make are absolute and there is no going back from the promise." The queen replied to Rae. She had known about the demons way of life.
Not long after the arrival of the demon in the royal palace, she realised that the king was no longer the previous King.
Although, the previous King could not be called benevolent ruler, but he was still good to his family, especially her, the queen. She had freedom and power which was now in the hands of the shrewd nobles from king's faction.
She could not accept this, the loss of Power, Authority.
"I want to propose a deal!" Queen said with a confident tone, her intentions were clear to Rae
"I am all ears." Rae smiled as he humoured the queen, wanting to listen to her words. Though, he already had quite the idea of the deal that was to come.
"The person of your kind..." Queen began, though she was stopped mid sentence by Rae's words.
"Just call him demon! You don't need to be so discrete." Rae exhaled as he urged the queen to be precise with her words. She was wasting lots of time, trying to be polite, and Rae did not want to delay.
"The demon has the people from the king's faction under his control, and most probably the king too!" Queen revealed another important point.
"That's a surprising turn of events. Is that the reason behind the clash between you and the king's faction?" Rae asked, hoping for more details.
"It is. I want you to remove him from the kingdom and help me to obtain the kingdom's control." Finally, she showed her intentions. She wanted the kingdom to herself.
"In return, I promise you anything that you would want within the kingdom that is under my control." She offered.
"Did you forget about the king's protection? His predecessors rumoured to be in level five? Would they allow this?" Rae asked curiously, hoping that she would answer honestly.
"If they existed then the king would not have fallen under someone else's control. As long as it's not something very drastic, they won't even come out and that is if they really exist." Queen laughed off, not at all minding Rae's question.
"Not drastic. Alright. I accept the deal." Rae was happy to accept the proposal. What could be better than this?
"What do you want in return then?" Queen asked, her tone hesitant.
"In return...." Rae hesitated. He wanted the obvious. What could he want from the queen? Her, of course
"Men really are same, be it humans or demons." Queen laughed, though she did not reject Rae's deal.
"Alright then, I would let you do it but only after the successful change of regime." Queen accepted the deal. She was willing to give up her body, not that she had much of a choice in front of Rae.
In the different part of the same palace, king's personal chamber.
"Serena... I have heard about the previous Earl's predicament." The king said to Serena with great enthusiasm.
"I feel saddened by the death of one of my very capable subordinates. But you do not need to worry, I would help you in place of Scheta." As the king said this, he proceeded to pay Serena with a smile, a perverted smile.
"You do not need to feel saddened by the death. I would find the culprit behind this and bring justice to you." The king said to reassure Serena.
"Yes my lord. I thank you for the trouble." Serena replied with a forced smile. She had arrived, invited to the royal palace by the king and she was aware of the reason behind this.
