Savage Queen's Secret

"You know, I have many regrets!" said Loki with an exhausted look. 

He looked tired in Caixia's eyes as she took a look at him in shock while sitting next to him. 

The sight through the window as the sun was at its peak was dehydrating still warm and comforting to the mind in distress and eyes that could only see the austere future. 

His sudden words drew Caixia uninterested gaze at him. She was like, 'what the rubbish he is spouting all of a sudden?'. Yet all she could do was hear him out after all the car was his! 

"Do people like you also have regrets?". She said in a taunting way out of aggravation. 

"As I thought, you definitely know me". With a smile enough to annoy her more, he said and caught her off guard. 

As low as she could, she gasped and averted her gaze as she had no wish to let him know that she knew him. 

So, she had to come with an excuse or a topic to change the previous one, "No, you look quite rich to have any regret". 

He laughed at her lame excuse and looked out through the window with a gloomy look. Well he did stop talking but Caixia become curious after hearing his half-finished words. 

Did he have any regrets related to me? Does he regret backstabbing me? Is that so! 

Her brain started storming with questions that only Loki could answer. Stomach churning, anxiousness, continuous movements of her legs… this were the symptoms of her holding in her curiosity and lastly, she had a surge to finally ask him, "What were your regrets?". 

… 

"Behold the view of the most powerful Queen entrance". Said the anchor standing on the small stage made in the middle of the arena and stared at the small door made of nets far- far away from him. 

Staring him all the audience and so were the participants looked at the small door built under a particular place of the audience seats. The place where the door was built some audience seating above it, had their eyes down. 

Five minutes passed by and the anchor, who announced the Queen's presence coughed awkwardly since no one really stepped out. 

His eyes got tired looking there without blinking but no one came out and then he looked at a certain place, his gaze ascertaining something and he nodded, "Don't be anxious, friends. She will be out soon". 

Just as he said that, a woman fall down in the fighting arena or more like someone pushed her out of the dungeon door to highlight her among all those eyes staring down at her. She was none other then Aili. Dressed up nicely as the Queen used to wear. 

Black boots and stockings, overcoat and everything black.. even her face was covered with a mask that the Queen always used to wear during her time in the underworld. 

The only difference was that her hair was dyed into Navy blue and that simply gave her the look she always wears during her tour to the under world. 

At this points, all her external wounds were mostly on her stomach and shoulder, so no one could see it because it was covered. But even though they couldn't see it, they were sure that she was the Queen with no confidence just by the way she was looking everywhere anxiously. 

Some faces were familiar. Aili noticed it after her eyes stopped at the members of the top assassin groups, who were her colleagues. 

"Go and see who were the people that pushed her out of that door," Hana with a firm look whispered to her subordinates after seeing Aili being pushed out from that cage like door. 

She looked strong willed but didn't interfered in what was going on after all that was the rule of the under world where strong survives while weak dies. So, even though she did wished to know the person behind her kidnapping, she saw no need to help her when Aili looked in a good condition. 

I would have helped her if her conditions were not good but right now, she doesn't need it. 

Hana nodded to herself. 

This was what the Joker wanted for everyone to think that Aili was alright and having her in the fight was also a right thing to do. 

Defeating the Queen in the arena will boost her name and that was the aim of the Joker hidden between the qualified people for the semifinals. 

Who was she? Hana? Helen? Or the mysterious person from the dark assassin group? 

Whoever it was they definitely had to fight Aili to take the position of the Queen. 

"Hmm.. she is definitely the Queen of the under world, who claims to have no need for a King," the anchor disclaimed with his wide grin and all the audience got convinced and who won't? 

The big curtain on which the projector was reflected showed the big and clear image of the Queen for the large audience to have a clear view. They could tell what was the truth. 

Her figure, her face over the mask and everything was similar to the Queen but not the disposition. She lacked confident and the style of the real Queen and that made many to have an argue over that topic. 

At least 30% of the audience with keen eyes replied negatively on her being the real Queen and indeed they were smart. 

Even Hana was not quite sure whether they brought the fake one but 70% of the audience accepted it since many things in her was similar and all in one, everyone knew who was behind that mask and they were sure of it because news about the Queen marrying the King of the Valavensv country, who saved her when she was attacked by her closest peer, Loki had spread. 

The time and place well matched with that of Wu Aili and it was more then just a coincidence.
