Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 180 I Want Her to Forget Him

West, Palace

" Cheers." Elijah sat in the parlor, he held his red wine glass high and said to the dark wizard, " This time, I finally defeated Klaus."

The dark wizard nods slightly and raises his glass to take a gentle sip, " The prophecy of the dark god worked —the flame and the bride."

Elijah shakes his glass of red wine as he says rather smugly, "The undead army is the greatest weapon of all."

Elijah takes a sip of his red wine then asks the dark wizard, " So, Grimm, what do you think we should do next?"

The dark wizard places his glass of red wine lightly on the table as he says to Elijah, "I think you should start by rooting out the rebels in the country. After all, the Army of the North is now no longer our greatest threat. Soon Dyson will be the new Wolf King of the North and he will do our bidding."

" Do you trust that Dyson?" There was a hint of doubt in Elijah’s gaze. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

" Dyson has seen the power of the undead legions, he should know very well what will happen if he betrays us." The dark wizard said calmly, " No one can resist the Undying Legion, and Klaus is the best way to do that."

Elijah nodded, " Since the north is no longer a threat to us, my next plan is to unite with the north to attack the south while eradicating the domestic rebels."

A dark wizard raises an eyebrows lightly, "That’s not a bad idea."

" The south is a rich country," Elijah said, " It has abundant resources and fertile land. Once we had taken the South, we could not only gain great wealth, but we could further extend our sphere of influence. We can use the resources of the South to grow our military and increase our strength. Moreover, the south’s geographical location is very important, and by controlling the south, we will be able to occupy a more favorable position on this continent."

"But as far as I know, the south and the north are allied countries. " dark wizard reminded,"They signed an alliance agreement."

"But now they are not. " Elijah said," Now the North is in our alliance."

" But the king of the south has placed a lot of troops along the border, and besides, their border packs are fighting well." dark wizard said slowly," we can’t take the enemy lightly."

" According to the information provided by the spies, the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack at the border and the king of the south are on bad terms, and it is rumored that Alpha’s wife was even sentenced to death by the king of the south. So I am planning to have the secretary general go down south as a lobbyist. If we can bribe that alpha we can easily break through the southern border’s defense." Elijah said.

" You seem to have made adequate preparations, Your Majesty. " dark wizard complimented, "I’m sure soon you’ll be able to realize your plan to unify the continent."

Elijah smiled contentedly. His mind was already conjuring up a great picture of him as the wolf-king of the continent. In that vision he was clothed in rich royal robes, and crowned with a brilliant crown, and stood on the summit of a lofty throne, looking down upon the vast and subjugated land beneath his feet. All the people would worship him, the four seas would submit to him, he would have supreme power and honour, be master of the continent, all wealth and resources would be at his disposal, and every decision would affect the destinies of millions. The image was so clear and tantalizing that he could not help himself, he was so absorbed in it.

At that moment a knock at the door interrupted Elijah’s reverie. He scowled with displeasure. Who would dare to disturb him at that hour? Discontent surged swiftly through him, as if some one had jerked him forcibly back to reality at the critical moment when he was about to touch his dream. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes, like that of a lion disturbed from its beautiful dream.

" Come in." " said Elijah, with evident displeasure and suppressed anger in his voice.

Presently the Lord High Steward of the Crown, in his black livery, pushed his way through. The old Chief Steward’s hair was gray, and his face showed signs of age, but his eyes still betrayed prudence and shrewdness. He walked to Elijah at a steady and slightly hurried pace, bowing slightly, he carefully said to Elijah, "It’s the lady."

"Emily?" Elijah asked, "What happened to her?"

" When she woke up, she wouldn’t eat, and she said she wanted to kill you to avenge her husband." The old chief steward stammered out his reply, his eyes not daring to look directly at Elijah, and only slightly cast down, for fear that Elijah’s wrath might burn into him in an instant.

"Is that really what she said?" Elijah’s voice rose a few points with a suppressed anger and incredulity.

The old butler nodded his head hurriedly, and his body shook a little involuntarily. A murderous cold light flashed in Elijah’s eyes for an instant, and he crushed the red wine-glass in his hand. The sound of the shattering was particularly piercing in the silent room. Slowly the red wine trickled from between his fingers like blood.

Quietly the dark wizard watched what was going on before him, and he did not speak. His eyes were as calm as a deep, bottomless well. In this tense atmosphere he was like a spectator, merely silently watching Elijah’s movements.

After a few minutes, Elijah took a tissue from a tissue box on the table and slowly wiped his wine-stained hands. He moved as calmly as if his anger and loss of control had never happened. The tight corners of his mouth and the slight narrowing of his eyes, however, betrayed ripples within him that had not yet settled.

"Grimm." Elijah broke the silence.

"Yes, sire." The dark wizard responded.

" Is there any magic or potion that can cause people to lose their memories?" Elijah asked, his gaze fixed on the dark wizard with a hint of anticipation and a hint of malice in his eyes. "

"Yes, there is a magic that can cause people to lose all their memories." dark wizard replied.

"Have you tried that kind of magic?" Elijah pressed on.

" No." replied the dark wizard simply, in a tone as flat as water, without the slightest ripple.

" Then try it ." Elijah dropped the dirty tissue on the floor as he stood up and addressed the old butler," Take me to Emily’s room."
