The Dagger

Mineah walked the Ivanov Clan members out of the throne hall with Nikolai by her side, her hands wrapped around his arm as she smiled away at her retreating guests.

"You…" 

The Queen Mother turned to Nikolai before looking at the hands currently clutching at his arm. Sensing the attention, Mineah blushed as she quickly broke away from her husband.

"Come with me this instant," the Queen Mother said with a stern look. "We have much to talk about."

"Yes, Mother…" 

Mineah inwardly sighed. Shrugging, she was more than ready to be left behind as she expected herself to watch Nikolai walk away from her. However, he instead turned to her, holding her shoulders firmly as he leaned closer to her face.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Mine," he said as he gave her forehead a gentle kiss.

"You two…" the Queen Mother murmured with a glint of annoyance in her voice.
