Normally, I should be happy to be able to conceive for the king. Every concubine will surely be, but why does it feel like a curse this time? Even though I am happy about it, I still have a feeling that this is extremely odd. Xxxxxxxxx Why did I let her escape with the stranger? Who is that stranger? His scent seems familiar, and this sure is not the pure will of Casey. I know her well enough to know that she wouldn't have dared to jumbo into the ocean in such a way. "There is some sort of foul play somewhere; I need to get to the bottom of this," I said to myself. Calling out, I beckoned for Xavier, one of my trusted men, to come over. "My lord, here I am," he said as he bowed before me. "So far, have you heard any reports about Casey and Nanna?" I asked. I'm sorry, my lord; after you left the search party yesterday on the ocean, we found some footprints and followed them for some time. But suddenly the footstep stopped leading to nowhere; I believe that was on purpose. "Someo
"Perhaps he seeks my assistance solely to maintain his reputation, but there must be more to it than that." It seems unlikely that he would go to such lengths just to save face in front of the townspeople. I can't help but wonder if there is something deeper motivating him. As for Joshua's possession of the weapon, it is certainly a cause for concern. The Alpha only wields it in times of war, and even then, it is kept secret from the outside world. How did Joshua come to acquire such a powerful and deadly tool? It's possible that he has connections to some of the most dangerous and influential people in the region. The fact that he is able to control these soldiers is another indicator of his considerable power. It takes a strong leader to command a group of men like this, and it's clear that Joshua possesses that strength. But what other skills and abilities does he possess? "It's clear that he is not an ordinary man, and I am intrigued to learn more about him." Xxxxxxxxx "With he
Early the next day, Nanna already starts a fire with some matches she found in the room. With the fire, she prepared hot water and used it to soothe his wounded body. I used the time to get some fresh fruit, as I can't get close to fish or other related stuff because of my condition. He kept groaning in pain all through this time, leaving me devastated. After having three kinds of fruit for breakfast, we decided to take some rest as he is too wound up to walk very well. Although he insisted we keep walking, this time around, I and Nanna were able to resist his commands. ★ ★ ★ She sure buys this acting; maybe I should join the drama club one day. This is even beyond my comprehension; the boys deserve more than that. But is it safe to be here, Johannes? His men will probably be reinforced after the encounter we had together. He will be damn sure this is not just happening but has been planned out. We need to get out of here, but how is this possible? I am sitting here like a la
Joshua lead us to where he had parked the speedboat the last time, he had told me that he had begged those people and they have agreed to lease it to him for another few days which I almost didn't want to believe. Those guys were beating him so much, when did go to them to apologize for what he had done and how did he... He hopped on and asked us to move onto the boat which we did immediately, halting the train of my thoughts. I wonder where and when we would get to our destination if we had one. Maybe we would only be touring every woods around and some times become rogues like him or lone wolf for I still couldn't think of why we hadn't reach out to one town that would at least keep us safe and away from the king guards. Joshua revived the engine on the boat, the first time there was a negative response from the engine as it didn't even pick up. He rocked again, with me expecting it to give a positive response once and for all but to no avail and in fact, it was as though the engine
My Nanna laid, facing the other side and I wondered if he was angry with me or something. It was worth it if she was angry with me because I am the one who put her in this dangerous situation. I knew she still believed that I only misunderstood Johannes but I had no doubts that he really wanted to get rid of me after I produce for him. This guy betrayed me and I am not going back to there, the thought of him was even making me more angrier. Each time I remembered him and the condition he had put me in, all I felt for him was disgust. Joshua had gone out of the room, after telling me that he was a lone wolf, a rogue and nothing else. I had a lot of questions in my head that I would want him to answer but he did not bother to wait back to hear the rest of the questions. I wanted to ask her about the lady she had relationship with and the pups they made. Where were they and why was his eyes teary when he talked about them. I knew Nanna was not the kind that ask too much of questions,
I palpebrated severally after hearing what the man said. Was he trying to say that Joshua is dead? No! No! No! I shook my head and looked at Justin but his expression didn't change. Did that mean that he also believed that Joshua was dead? I decided not to show my fear. "Well, let me tell you one thing... Joshua is alive. By now, he is probably on his way while planning your death and everyone's. Will you let go of us now or you want to get killed by Joshua. You know he has a very powerful weapon." They looked at each other hesitantly for a while. "What are you waiting for?" Their commander yelled. "Tie them up and throw them into the cellar." They threw me, Nanna and Justin into a cellar with our hands tied to the back. "Don't touch Casey at all. The king wants her alive and untouched." Their commander told the men. He then shifted his gaze to Justin. "You can do whatever you want with this man. He's gone against us so he deserves the best." The two men that were
"There she is! Catch her!" Oh no! They finally found me. My eyes distended. Well, perhaps it was for the better I thought as I could not decide whether to leave Justin or not. "Do not try to act smart lady, just stay where you are because there no point in running away." The man who was approaching me warned. If only he knew how difficult and painful it was for me to move he would not have said that. He grabbed my arm harshly, pushing my Nanna aside and he was about to start dragging me out when I caught his attention.I turned my head to see what was going on and then saw soldiers fighting some one wearing cloak and a mask. The masked man moved smoothly cutting and killing the soldiers with his sword. "Who is that goddamn son of a bitch! Get him right now and kill him." The soldier who was holding my hand yelled but unfortunately, the soldiers had hard time killing the man with the mask on and they all soon fell to the ground. The man holding my wrist pushed me away cau
I woke up feeling sore and heavy. Sleeping on the floor was not the most pleasant thing when one is used to sleeping on luxurious bed. I had never imagined sleeping on a rug let alone on the earth with nothing laid on the ground. It was just so discomforting. I glanced at where Nanna was sleeping, she was still sleeping there. The man... Alvans sat leaning against a tree with eyes closed. Was he asleep? It looked really uncomfortable to be sleeping that way. Yawning, I tried to get up but I almost yelled as a sharp pain stabbed my knee. Sitting back down quickly without making a sound that would attract anyone, I looked at my foot, it had swollen more. "What happened to you Casey?" Alvans was suddenly next to me. Grimacing in pain. "My leg has gotten worse." I said to him, still staring at the leg. He looked at it closely, holding my leg. "I think I need to take you to the doctor." "What happened to my Casey? What is wrong with her?" I heard Nanna's voice, hurr
