The party was cancelled in half as there is so much he had to handle.

.....

Gabriel felt helpless that he started smashing the things in his study room. He is totally frustrated...

"Uncle, be careful" Nickolas said as he entered the room cautiously.

"Tell me, Nickolas. Do you really mean what you said back there?" Gabriel asked, angry and restless.

"I mean it with all my heart, uncle. Do you think I am still in love with Sabrina?? She looked down at me, humiliated me and made me look inferior. Her father never respected me nor he never acknowledged me as someone equal to his daughter"

"You, on other hand, made me feel the true love of Camilla. She is the perfect person for me and for making me realize it, I am forever indebted to you"

"And, you have truly made me what I am, today, uncle. The second master! You in fact, treated me better than your own son's. You always had higher regard for me"

"Even a fool would be able to understand what is best for him on both sides. Moreover, uncle Sabrina would kill me as soon as she saw me. So will her father"

"Not even a saint would support the persons who are trying to kill him" Nickolas reasoned.

Gabriel smiled, totally convinced.

What could he do? This is what Nickolas has been doing all these years.

Flattering him and licking his boots.

He proved his loyalty many times!

"Good that you know what is the right thing to do. We are switching our plan actually" Gabriel said, gesturing to him to close the doors so they could discuss.

"If George and Sabrina return, we will be pushed to the corner, Nickolas. We will be helpless and it will be a sucide mission if we go against them in the Kingdom." Gabriel said.

"So, the only option is to not let Sabrina and her family return to the kingdom" Nickolas said.

"Yes, right. I have been thinking the same. But, how???" Gabriel pursed his lips, thinking hardly.

However, under this excess pressure and his weak health, his mind is not as active as it is before.

"We can't let them come here. We have to kill them" he told Nickolas.

Nickolas smirked inside.

Sabrina is totally right about her uncle's mind set. Her guess is absolutely right.

"I have a plan, uncle. But, you might not like it" Nickolas said.

"Don't worry. Tell me about it. We need to formulate our plan as soon as possible" Gabriel impatiently said.

He is totally in rage now!

Past few months have been worse of his whole life!

First, the fall down of his underworld organization.

Secondly, they lost control of Kingdom Phliion's military.

Now, Sabrina and her family are coming back to take the only power he has in his hands, Kingdom Wentris!

"Uncle, what is more important to you? Rebellion or Kingdom Wentris?" Nick asked.

"Of course the Kingdom!! Rebellion is just a camouflage we made in order to take over other kingdoms!! How could I conquer other Kingdoms when I couldn't even have my own Kingdom in my grip.huh?" he fired out.

"Cool down, uncle, cool down. I have a perfect plan, then" Nickolas said..

"First of all, we need to prevent Sabrina and her family from taking over the throne. Only option is to kill them. So, we could kill them and make it look like it is done by rebellion people" Nickolas said.

As Rebellion is run by Gabriel's second handed man, to cover up who their real boss is, they can easily implicate it on that right handed man and make it look like he killed Sabrina and her family.

No one would be able to find out because, as soon as that happens, they are going to demolish the rebellion too.

And, then, make it look like Gabriel took revenge for his brother's death.

That will not only divert suspicions but also make him the King again.

A win win!!

"Secondly, as Diego is in love with princess Eliina, go and make an alliance. As Diego is next king, she will be next Queen. Who would say no to it??" Nickolas chuckled. "You will have support from her Kingdom too"

"Slowly, we can build up our power again." Nickolas added.

Gabriel nodded his head.

He liked this plan.

Easy and simple.

Less risky although they need to sacrifice the rebellion they built over years.

As of Eliina, they could just convince King Edgar that the demands they made are not from them. They can think about it later as well.

For now, Sabrina and her family are the target.

"Your plan is convenient. Give me this night to think about it, Nick." Gabriel said.

He is not easy to fool.

He will proceed only after confirming everything.

However, unfortunately, he is being deceived by the people he trusts most. And, they know a way more than him.

He works all alone but they work as a team.

Even a super genius brain could be overshadowed by a group of 'just' smart brains.

"Take your time, uncle. Do your own investigation and we can proceed only after you agree with it" Nickolas said, as he walked out of the house.

His other part of the plan is over.

Now, the main part.

Don't let Gabriel find out about anything.

….

Meanwhile…

In Kingdom Aletros…

Brina and Louis are now cuddling, not able to sleep.

He is caressing her tummy while they look at the dark sky, busy in their own thoughts.

"I hope everything went well there," Brina whispered.

"It must have gone just as we predicted, love. Don't worry about it" Louis assured her.

"What if not?? What if he has other thoughts in his mind or, what if he found out about me already" she asked worriedly.

"We have all our people working on it. They would never be able to trace the video back to us. We have the world's best hacker and tech team working here! They will surely make it look like what we wanted it to be" Louis said.

"The only thing we need to worry about is, will Gabriel take Nickolas's bait?? Your ex will be useless if not for this" Louis sulked on the last sentence.

Brina chuckled.

"I have a strong feeling that he will take the bait. If this night pass good, without Gabriel finding out anything, we almost won" Brina said.
