The look in Francis eyes were scary, never for once has Ella ever seen him this way. He tightened the hold on her neck the more and she gasped for air, her eyes welled up in tears as she struggles to get out of his grip.
She was finding it hard to breath now, the rate at which Francis held unto her throat made her head to pound hard.
A lone tears rolled down her cheek touching his hands and he snapped back seeing he was holding unto his dear Ella neck. He let go of her neck, letting her fall to the fall harshly and she winced in pain. Tears streamed down profusely, she was not only hurt physically but emotionally.
Diana was shocked to see he let her go, everyone was as he would have killed her there and then. The Death lord had spared no one that crossed his path but he let Ella go which pained Diane.
Diane grabbed a gun from one of the guards hand and shot towards Ella but the Cyprus was fast enough to pu
Twelve men dressed in suit all sat down at the round table of the conference room waiting for their king to arrive. The door of the conference room opened, revealing three guards at the front, while the king behind them with three guards at the back of the king.The twelve men all stood up as a sign of respect to welcome their king. "Long live the king," They are greeted with heir heads bow.The guards paved way for the king as they led him to his seat. Once the king was seated, the twelve men took their sits."What are the reports?" The king of Levine asked his people. The chief of guards, stood up from his seat to explain the situation on ground to the King."The kingdom of Darkards has been conquered by Narlands and now they've taken charges, the d
The Death lord held unto Ella's palm as he caresses them. It's been two days since she fell unconscious. The bullet didn't penetrate deep into her skin and luckily for her, it was on the shoulder which meant she could survive it.The Death lord hasn't left his room for two days as he watched Ella, asking her to wake up soon. He refused to eat as he told himself he wouldn't unless he saw that Ella was safe and sound.After the physician removed the bullets, the Death lord carried Ella in his arms into his room as he didn't want anyone to touch her except him.He looked at her paled face and dried lips, he traced his index fingers on her soft cheek, he blamed himself and he wished he hadn't pulled the trigger.He didn't kill the woman who Ella had protected as he believed Ella had a reason for putting her life on the line for the woman so he locked her in one of the rooms with his guards monitoring her.
"Did you kill her?" Ella asked again with a very low voice.Francis didn't like how Distant Ella was now, he felt a pang of pain in his chest as he watched her. He looked at his palm, the same ones he used to choke her to almost death.He clenched his fist as he tried controlling his pain. "What would you like to eat?" He asked her trying to change her mood.Ella wept with the thought of the woman dead, she failed the boy and she wished she hadn't survived. Francis noticed the tears in his eyes which pricked his heart once he saw them."The woman isn't dead, I didn't kill her," He uttered. Ella said nothing else. "But I will kill her," He added making the knot in Ella's stomach to tighten.
Ella felt the need to pee, so she got off the bed. Just as she was about to enter the bathroom, Francis stopped her."Where are you going to?" Francis deep voice made her halt. She didn't turn to meet him but she answered him, "I want to pee," She muttered as she played with the hem of her shirt.In a swift move, Francis carried Ella in his arms, taking her by surprise, "Fra...My Lord...what are you doing?" She stuttered. Francis felt disrespected when he heard what she had called him."What did you just call me?" He asked, reminding Ella of the time he used that same words on her and what happened. Fear gripped her as she thought he might kill her for almost calling his name. ."I...I said my Lord," She said to him hoping he'd let go. "My Lord? Who i
Ella creased her brows as she waited for him to speak. "You called me your friend, and what do friend do? They call each other by their names and respect each other but you almost killed me!" She finally let the tears roll down her cheek.She sniffled a little, "You told me you loved it when I called your name and I did. I called you your name and you choked me, almost killing me! You didn't hurt me physically alone but emotionally!" She cried out.Francis was hurt because she was hurt and because he had hurt her. He made her call his name, he told her to treat him like she'd treat her friends and when she did, he lost his temper and almost killed her because he felt disrespected and now she wasn't going to let him into her life again"I'm sorry," He said."Please don't be my lord, after all I am just a maid," She spat out firmly."You are not a maid Ella!" He retorted firmly. He didn't wa
Francis pulled Ella closer to him, leaving a little space between them, he unto into her waist tightly, he sucked on her bottom lips lightly leaving goosebumps on her skin.Slowly moving her hands to Francis shoulder, she kissed his back, succumbing to his heart melting kiss.Francis shoved his tongue into her mouth, tasting her. Both tongue fought for dominance as they battled one another.Francis stopped kissing Ella, he placed his foreheads on hers and heaved a deep sigh. He felt a huge relieve after tasting her delicious lips, he licked his bottom lips wanting to feel her touch once again.Ella closed her eyes as she held unto Francis shoulder tightly. She let him kiss her again even though she wasn't sure of who she was to him.
Francis rubbed his palm on his face trying to comprehend all Ella had just said. "If you really love me as you said, you will help me on this," she said to him hoping he'd agree."I love you and you are the only exemption from the rules in the entire Narlands, any other person won't survive if they break the rules and that's final!" Francis said."I'm really sorry, as much as I'd like to let her go because of you I can't because she committed a crime and she must face it," Francis stated, turning to leave the room.Ella rushed towards him, she wrapped her arms around him from behind tightly taking Francis off guard."Please help me with this and I promise to do whatever you want, anything you want me to do, please!" She whispered to him with a c
Francis entered his room, he looked around for Ella but couldn't find her. He knew he hurt her feelings when he told her he would kill the woman.He could let the woman go but once be began to agree to everything she says regarding other people and not for herself, it would only tarnish the reputation of the Death lord and their nature.Soon people would find Ella and request she came to him and plead on their behalf. His enemies would immidately notice this change and use Ella against him.He wanted to accept but he knew he couldn't take drastic decision. She was the only one he could let go no matter her offense, asides her, any other person will have to face the consequences of breaking the law.
Just as Diana was about to walk away leaving the Governor to die, he grabbed her legs with his hands, refusing to let her go. "You sneaky little bastard! I am not going to let you go." He spat out. "I won't..." He choked. "Still as persistent and stupid as always, aren't we?" She scoffed. She pulled her legs off his hold and kicked him one more time. "Bastard!" "I won't let you die slowly, I will let you die once and for all." She said. She used her legs and kicked him so hard. She shot him him constantly until she saw he wasn't moving no more. "Bastard!" She spat out. She spat on him before kicking him again. She left his room to go fulfil her other duties. The death Lord had already assembled his men. While some went to Raffan to attack, the others stayed behind to fight the armies of Raffan and Levine. The Death Lord had confident in Diana and Dennis to kill the people of Levine. He was going to let the king of Levine and th
Dennis informed Diana of what the Death Lord had asked her to do. She secretly entered the governor's room.He was shocked to see her in his room while he was getting dressed for the war ahead. "What are you doing here!" He pointed his index finger and Diana who didn't seem faze by his action."How dare you come into my room without fear!" He asked with anger but Diana shrug then smirked agitating him."I am not the Prime minister and I will kill you if you do not leave before..." Diana clapped her hands as she took slow steps towards him."And what would you do?" She asked with a questioning brows. "Do you think I care or do you think I'm scared of you?" Diana asked him.She scoffed then she
All the officials of Levine awaited for the King's presence as they dressed in their fighting attire. The people of Levine also gathered round waiting for the King to come.They were all shocked when they found out the Prime minister was striped off his title because he wasn't worthy of it. Many in Levine feared and respected the Prime minister for his ultimate strength.He was known to be one of the greatest achievers in Levine, his defeat made they wonder how he was easily taken down. The drum sound got the people to stand up and bow their head upon the arrival of the King.Nobody knew what the King had in mind or how he planned on executing his officials unworthy of their title."Welcome great people of Levine. Today you shall be free of the useless control of your unworthy officials." The King said. He was still pained by the fact that a woman took down his prime minister.He didn't wa
Ella wrapped her arms around Francis from behind. She felt a huge relieve on her shoulder from his warm scent. Francis smiled once he saw her arms wrapped around his."Did you just wake up?" He asked her and she nodded her head, not letting go of his waist."How was your night?" She asked him."Didn't have enough sleep but I slept fine." He replied her. For three days now, she slept with Amelia in the room because Amelia felt neglected.Although Francis was reluctant about her leaving and staying with Amelia, he had to give in. The past few days has been really stressful. He had been preparing for the war against the kingdom of Raffan but haven't taken any step as he awaited his spies to give him information first.
Once the Cave Lord left, the King asked the general to gather his officials in the court room. It was time to take the final step and prepare for battle.The Officials all got the message and had all gathered in the court room. They wondered why the King urgently needed them and what he had to tell them.While they waited for the King, they asked one another if they had any clue but it seems asides the general, no one knew what was going on.Just then Diana came into the court room, taking one step after the other, not bothering to hurry and line up. The Prime minister frowned, he despised her presence so much he wished he could kill her.The humiliation he got from her two days ago still haunted him that he had to drink himself to sleep or else he wo
The Prime minister of Raffan informed the Cave Lord of the request by the King of Levine. The Cave Lord wasn't one to leave the Kingdom, instead people came to meet him in his kingdom instead.Considering the situation on ground, he decided to go to Levine to talk with the King to come into conclusions soon.Now that the Death Lord knew where his kingdom was, he was sure he'd come soon for him.After preparing for the journey, the Cave Lord put the General in charge while he went to the Kingdom of Levine with the Prime minister.The King of Levine had already told his servant to prepare a big feast as they waited for the Cave Lord. The thought of two powerful kingdom merging to become one so as to be able to defeat Narlands made the King happy.
The General told the Prime minister of Raffan to wait while he went to call the king.Once he entered the King's room, he bowed his head. "My king, it appears we have a kingdoms with the same interest as ours. A man from the kingdoms who had managed to shoot the Death lord with a poisonous bullet is here," The General said to the king.The king raised his brows in a questioning manner. "Hmm, I thought that kingdoms was fallen?" The King asked."It appears there is more than meet the eyes. The man awaits you in the court room," The General said."I will be there in a jiffy," the king responded. The General bowed his head before leaving the king's premises.Both the General and the P
Both men felt insulted and at the same time they were slightly threatened by her words. "You bitch!" The prime minister spoke and Diana scoffed."Call me that one more time and I promise to choke you here and now!" She shouted. She wasn't one of patience and if there was one thing she hated, that would be to be approached by people who she felt didn't worth her time.The Prime minster smirked. "I want to see you try bitch!" He spat out and in a nanosecond, Diana palm flew across his cheek. The sounding slap of Diana made the governor gasp in surprise."How dare you!" The governor said. Diana pointed her fingers at him, dangerously walking towards him. "Interfere and be slapped!" She spat out."Are you actually threatening me?" The Governor asked. Just
The officials on Levine were all present in the court room including Diana who was the newly appointed commander.They were all summoned by the king for an emergency. After some minutes of silence, the king spoke."Diana who is our newly appointed commander and the woman to lead the upcoming battle has revealed a very important secret of the people of Narlands," the king said.The officials all looked at one another before looking back at the king. "My Lord, if you do not mind me asking, what is that secret?" The chief of armoury asked."The Death lord true weakness is the secret," the king said and the officials gasped. They shook they head in amazement as they smiled."I am so eager to know
