Till next time

Next? Roksolana thought. She was right about Lady Miriam since she had just heard about what she was doing next.

"We kill the king. This time, he won't be able to escape since I already got everything into place." The strange yet familiar voice Roksolana always heard from Lady Miriam's room responded.

"Are you sure it will work this time?" Lady Miriam's weak voice said to her lover.

"Very sure. The Sultan would be breathing his last before a week from now," the man answered.

Roksolana got angry. At first, she wanted to open the door and confront the two lovers but she decided against it instantly. She knew that her confrontation would only stop the attack temporarily and Jamal's life would still be in danger. If she wanted to help Jamal, she would have to let them act and stop them in the middle of their plan. That way, she would have stopped the threat once and for all.
