Chapter 34: Chapter 34 : My trust For Natasha
The moonlight spilled through the grand windows of the mansion, casting a pale glow across the room.
The air was heavy with unspoken tension as Leo stood before Sarah, his hands clasped behind his back.
His expression was a mixture of confusion and concern, a rare crack in his otherwise stoic demeanor.
Sarah, seated in a plush chair with her legs crossed, exuded an air of calm authority, but her eyes revealed a storm brewing within.

"Queen,"
Leo began cautiously, breaking the silence.
"I don't understand why this proposal was so sudden. This wasn't part of the original plan. What changed?"
Sarah leaned back in her chair, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest.
She gazed out of the window for a moment before speaking, her voice steady but laced with a hint of frustration.
"Natasha has already succeeded in her plan, Leo. Her influence is great, and my position as the vampire queen is secure. "
" Meanwhile, I've been stagnant, waiting for the perfect moment. But now I realize there's no time to wait. I need to make my move."
Leo frowned, his concern deepening.
"But rushing into this—does it not compromise the broader strategy? Josh is already infatuated with you; there was no need to push him so quickly. The family is on edge because of your sudden actions."
Sarah turned to face him, her expression hardening.
"You think I don't know that? You think I don't understand the risks?" Her voice grew colder, her authority as a queen shining through.
"Natasha's success has put me in a precarious position. I can't afford to delay any longer. If I wait, I'll lose the opportunity to solidify my control over this family. They few already suspect me, Leo. I can see it in their eyes."
Leo hesitated, his loyalty warring with his doubts.
"I understand the urgency, my queen, but this... marriage proposal. It's a bold move. Too bold, perhaps. The others—Eithan, Ruhr, even the younger ones—they don't trust you. This could backfire."
Sarah's lips curled into a faint smile, one that didn't reach her eyes.
"Let them suspect me. Their disapproval only works in my favor. The more divided they are, the easier it will be to dismantle their unity. Josh is the key to this. His love for me blinds him to everything else. Through him, I will unravel this family from within."
Leo stepped closer, lowering his voice.
"But what of Natasha? She's helping you, yes, but what does she gain from this? Vampires rarely act without self-interest."
Sarah's gaze sharpened, and she rose from her chair, her movements fluid and graceful.
She walked to the window and looked out into the night, her silhouette framed by the moonlight.
"Natasha and I have a mutual understanding. She knows the burden of being a lost a dear friend, the sacrifices it demands. She's aiding me because she believes in the same goal: the downfall of this family. Her reasons are her own, but I trust her resolve."
Leo couldn't hide his skepticism.
"And what happens once the family is destroyed? Do you truly believe Natasha will allow you to rule unchallenged?"
Sarah turned to face him, her expression unreadable.
"That bridge will be crossed when the time comes. For now, Natasha's assistance is invaluable. She has resources and knowledge that I cannot ignore. Together, we will ensure the downfall of this family. And once that's done…"
She trailed off, her eyes glinting with a dangerous light.
"I will deal with her, if necessary."
Leo fell silent, his loyalty to Sarah keeping him from voicing further objections. He had served her for years, seen her rise to power with determination and cunning.
But this plan, this help from her old friend Natasha—it made him uneasy. He bowed his head slightly, acknowledging her friendship.
---
"As you wish, my Queen. But I urge caution. The family may be fractured, but they are not weak. Underestimating them could be a fatal mistake."
Sarah's smile returned, colder and sharper this time.
"I never underestimate my enemies, Leo. That's why I'm still standing. This family has held power for too long. It's time for a new era—an era where they bow to me."
Leo nodded, though the unease in his chest remained.
"Very well. What are your orders for now?"
"For now,"
Sarah said, her tone softening slightly,
"we wait. Let them simmer in their confusion and frustration. I've planted the seeds of doubt and division. It's only a matter of time before they begin to unravel. Keep an eye on Eithan. He's the most dangerous of them all. If he suspects too much, it could jeopardize everything."
Leo inclined his head.
"I'll see to it. And Josh?"
Sarah's eyes softened, though it was more of a calculated gesture than genuine affection.
"Josh will remain useful as long as he's blinded by his love for me. Let him bask in his happiness for now. It will only make his eventual betrayal all the more satisfying."

As the conversation ended, Leo took his leave, disappearing into the shadows of the hallway.
Sarah remained by the window, her mind racing with thoughts of the future. The mansion was silent, save for the faint rustle of the wind outside.
She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.
"Natasha has already guiding me this far , but this is my game. My revenge. Will be my victory."
Her reflection in the glass stared back at her, a queen determined to claim her throne, no matter the cost.

As Queen Sarah has so much respect for Natasha .
Despite being not in royal family nor in bloodline she can Come close to a fight with vampire Queen which earn Sarah respect in begining.
" Natasha is very Hard working Girl , that I respect The most "
" And I have my full faith in her As a Queen , As a friend, As a Vampire, As a girl "
" As you said my queen , I will humble accept any punishment for being rude and call your friend a bad person "

That Leo broke .
" No, Leo . You are my most trust Worthy subordinate. "
" And my father " while blink in her one eye's with depths smile.
" Thank you my Queen for mercy , and I will never broke your trust again . Always remain by your side . Untile very end "
Leo said while bowing his head and one knee.
" Ohh father, Don't do that "
Sarah said while smirking and looking mysterious and her blue eyes become Dark blue like phycopathic.
