The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

What could this be? Remington asked as he pulled out the letter while Hannahs gaze fell on the ancient key.

She took it out and gave Remington, asking, Have you seen this key before? Remington stared at the key, his brow furrowed in confusion.

Ive never seen this before.

Its design is distinctly antique, not of the modern era.

Hannah traced the intricate patterns etched into the keys surface, lost in thought.

Since this key appeared alongside the letter, it must hold some importance.

Perhaps the letter holds the answers we seek.

The trio exchanged knowing glances and turned their attention simultaneously to the letter. With care, Remington opened the envelope and extracted the letter nestled within.noveldrama

The paper was covered in lines of bold, assertive handwriting.

A chill ran through Remington as he recognized the script.

This… this is in my fathers handwriting.

As he read on, his face drained of color, and his fingers tightened around the paper, crumpling it slightly.

Hannah noticed his change in demeanor.

Whats wrong? After a tense silence, just as Hannah thought he might withhold the letters contents, Remington placed it on the table and slid it towards her.

You were right.

The medicine my father obtained… it was meant to target… your father.

Bang! Remingtons fist struck the table, his face contorted with rage.

The letter reveals that after they dealt with your father, you were next.

Hannahs face remained stoic.

I suspected as much.

But… She glanced back at the letter.

But I need to know: with such a detailed scheme, how did this medicine end up being used on your father instead? While they spoke, Bryson, having finished reading, began to examine the walls of the secret room. Under the faint glow of the lamp, he detected a spot with a texture distinct from the rest.

He pressed firmly against the wall.

Rumble! A loud noise filled the room as the back wall split open, revealing a hidden passage.

Hannah turned around to see that another door had opened where there had been no path before.

Bryson, standing beside her, looked at her with resolve.

We can get out through here.

After the trio exited the room, Remington was taken aback by the familiar decor.

This exit leads into my fathers room.
