Married for Revenge
Chapter 18 The coup plot
Having made it out of the palace they are now in the protection of the brothers from Halil.
"Thank God we got here without anyone chasing us. But, unfortunately, Benazir was still in the underground palace" Halil told Zeinep and her blind husband.
Due to the toxic powder, her husband's eyes have been blind ever since. Zeinep is in Arga's custody so can't get medicine for her husband.
"My wife, give Halil a map of the palace. He'll take the diamond and also save Benazir,"
"What's? What map? I don't understand?"
"In the past me and Ahmet worked together. And I get the same diamond parts as him from our business. But because he was greedy, then he wanted to take the diamonds all to be his. I kept it in a secret room. Follow the map's directions and you'll find it. Arga who knew because he was Mr. Ahmet's right hand, saved me. But like coming out of a tiger's mouth I entered a crocodile's mouth. He's as bad as Mr. Ahmet. He also wanted the diamond and the map handled,"
"So..you have a relationship in the past?" Halil seemed very surprised.
"Yes...Benazir was not born at that time. And when he was a kid, I was arrested. Benazir thinks me and mom are gone. But Arga, who had orders from Ahmet to kill me, saved me and killed someone else instead. He saved us because of the map and the diamonds I still keep. After he didn't catch us enough, he used my daughter for her sake, you go and save her. My daughter must survive those who are cruel and evil. Take him out of the palace, "Benazir's father asked Halil.
"alright. I'll take Benazir safely and bring the diamond, too,"
Halil then said goodbye to Zeinep.
"My time is with you. You're a good man. Bring my daughter to us.."
"I'll take Benazir safely and I'm leaving now,"
After leaving both of Benazir's parents to his brother, Halil returned to the palace in disguise.
This time he disguised himself as a wall sculptor. He entered with several people who were assigned to make the palace gate even more magnificent.

Halil spread the aroma powder that made the soldiers fall asleep while sucking on it.
"Benazir.this is me." said Halil and immediately Benazir took her hand.
"Purel. Why are you here? What about my parents?"
"They're fine. I'm here to save you" said Halil.
"Some one's coming. Go hide, I'll pretend to sleep" Benazir told Halil.
The next one was Prince Edric. He saw that Benazir was still in his place and it made him smile happily.
"Tomorrow you'll be my wife. Tonight too, I will seize the throne from Queen Safiya," Prince Edric stared at Benazir who was pretending to be asleep.
"You're beautiful like the moon. Be calm. I will release you when I succeed in usurping the throne tonight" Prince Edric said.
Prince Edric went to the men's room. He's looking for Arga.
"Arga! Wake up! It's me, prince Edric."
"Prince..why come these nights?"
"I will release you but on condition. Tonight, help me finish off Queen Safiya and Prince Aslan. If not tonight, we won't have another chance" Prince Edric said.
"alright. Get me out first. After that I will gather an army to attack the rooms of Queen Safiya and Prince Aslan," said Arga whose influence will still be very large. Almost half of the troops in the palace fell to his command.
I'm finally free....
Commander Arga said when he was released by Prince Edric who was also eyeing the throne.
