episode 76

Writer's POV

A lady was standing facing a man, her eyes shifted from the man's hand to his his face.

The lady's heart was beating so heavily as she in the woods with the man.

The man smirked, clearly enjoying the fear that flickered across her features. He reached out, offering her a small bottle. "Tomorrow's the day; remember that," he instructed. "Just sprinkle this in his food or drink before he heads off to battle. I know this isn't what you want, but your little sister's life hangs in the balance. My men are with her, and if you fail, they'll take your sister's life and send you her head. Do you get it?"

The lady hands were shaking with the bottle in it; she was sweating profusely.

Her eyes still moving from the small bottle on her hand to the man in front of her. She couldn't see the man's face clearly, he was wearing a black garb that covered his face.

Suddenly, the man gripped her roughly by the arm.

"I asked, do you understand?" He gritted and she nodded tearfully.
