Frustrated Eric pulled her behind him and found an open room at the end of the hallway. It was empty, and inside he saw a bed. Seems to be a guest room that no one used. He shoved her inside and shut the door. Eric locked the door behind him.Ruby stared at him with disbelief as he locked the door. “Are you mad?” she asked. “Does it look like I’m mad,” said Eric who was unbuttoning his shirt.Startled Ruby backed away until her body hit a desk.Eric came close to her. “What did you do to my magic and powers?”“Nothing.”“Seriously.”“Your magic and power is fine.”Ruby reached out her right hand and tried to summon her wind power, but nothing happened.Eric chuckled.“Good thing the bracelet does its job.”“What?” asked Ruby. She was looking at the bracelet. Ruby thought this enchantment is strange as it stops her from using her abilities. Irritated that Eric put it on her she attempted to take it off. “It won’t come off, so don't bothered.”True to what Eric said, the bracelet wou
“In the crowd I search. None of them was who I wanted to see. I didn’t see the face I longed for,” said Eric touching her face.Ruby saw glimpses of sadness in his eyes.“And then I come here seeing you dancing on stage in front of the Emperor and all the other dukes and lords. Do you know how my blood boils?” asked Eric as his voice turned cold. “Why would your blood boils?”“Because you’re my fiancée.”“I’m not your fiancée.”“The decree still vouches us as betrothal.”“That deed was cancelled five years ago.”“Says who?”“You. You would rather go to war than marry me. You did everything you could to be your childhood sweetheart. You broke the engagement!” shouted Ruby.Eric’s soft looks turned cold. He said in a chilling voice, “But you didn’t give up back then. No matter what I said and did to you, you wouldn’t break off the engagement. Why now?”“Because I fell out of love with you.”“What?”“I don’t like you anymore.”Eric braced himself on top of her and remained motionless. He
Eric took her nipples in his mouth. He started doing things to her that made her body tremble from his touch.Ruby was scared. Here, she thought she wouldn’t see him anymore after that night and yet here he was determined to take her. Tears were coming forth from her eyes. Unable to hold onto his sanity, he licked her breasts. Nibbling on her breast. When he was done with her breast, he kissed her clavicle. His hand was busy groping her breast, and hotly massaging her breast against his touch. “Eric! Where are you buddy?” shouted voices in the hallway.“Damn it,” mumbled Eric.“Eric!” shouted Kevin.“Stop!” said Ruby.Eric’s hand covered her mouth, and she was muffling against his hand. He snapped his finger and the door disappeared.“That’s odd,” said John. His voice could be heard through the door.“What is it?” asked Kevin.“I thought I saw a door here early?”“You sure?”Kevin went to the wall and as if he knew something odd was there, he touched the wall. It looked similar to wh
Eric laughed at himself. He really was a fool for falling into her trap. He fell for her beauty and her webs of lies. He nearly fell for her vengeance.Sighing, he lay flat on the bed and fell asleep.The next following morning, he saw his three commander.His head was slightly dizzy, and his vision blurred.Kevin looking at him in puzzlement.“Hey, are you okay?” asked Zachery.“Yeah. I’m fine. What’s going on?” asked Eric, still groggy. “Well, you kind disappeared on us last night,” said John.“Oh. I must have gotten lost," answered Eric. Sitting on the edge of the bed he tries to focus his vision. “Well, do you want some soup?” asked Zachery.“What?” asked Eric.“For your headache.”“Oh yeah, sure.”“Geez, we’re probably better in the military camp than we are here. There at least we be able to take care of ourselves.”“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”Eric got up and dressed. John and Zachery turned to leave.“Is everything okay?” asked Kevin.“Yeah,” said Eric.“Good, but you should really wi
Confused as to why she was picking up roses in front of him, he wonders. Was she trying to get his attention because he’s with Samantha? Is she jealous of him and Samantha? Is she mad that she didn’t get the response she wanted from Eric last night? What is she planning to do this time?Samantha was trying to hide her annoyance of Eric looking at Ruby. “Those roses were planted by the emperor for the late empress. It was said that the emperor loved the late empress so much that he planted those red roses for her with his bare hands. Thus, he haven’t allowed anyone to pick or pluck them after she passed,” said Rebecca.“Oh, Eric,” gasped Samantha. She pretended to be sad and in pain.“Is she trying to cause trouble? Why is she always looking for problems?” asked Eric silently. He sighed deeply. He got up from the table and so did the rest of the group. When they got close to Ruby, she turned around and greeted them. She didn’t say anything else afterward and went back to clipping th
Ruby noticed his eyes and she reached to get the letter from him.Eric pulled away from her, and slowly stepped backward.“However, I wonder what kind of schemes you pulled to get such a favor from the Emperor,” snicker Eric as he taps the letter to his lips.Ruby stared at him with disbelief. “There you go. Show me that look. I want to see you angry. I to see you lose, and come begging for me,” thought Eric.The ladies laughed.Ruby, calming herself, she sighed. She tried to walk past him.Eric stopped her.Ruby stared at him and said, “Believe what you want. I have no time for this.” She bent down to pick up her roses. Her cleavage was showing her plump breast.Eric’s eyes widened as her milky white breast was seen. He was not fond of the idea that she is wearing such low cut dress showing off her breast.As Ruby walk pass Rebecca, she purposely bumped into her dropping her basket of roses on the ground.“Oops,” chuckled Rebecca.Ruby looked at her with annoyance. This woman who is
“The truth.”Eric’s eyebrows twitched, and he frowned at her. “Then you need to put it on me.”Ruby chuckled as he was still trying to protect the lying evil woman. “If that's how he wants to be. Fine. I will let him know I am not easy to be bullied either. We can both play this game,” thought Ruby. Samantha’s hands clenched into a ball. Anger boils in her chest that her face turned bright red, as Ruby was trying to embarrass her. She was infuriated that Ruby knew of the issues. Ruby is trying to humiliate her in front of everyone, especially Eric. She is purposely trying to make Eric remember that Ella claimed it was her who started the rumor. But luckily, she was smart enough to tell that stupid maid to take the fault if anything bad was to happen. Ella was dumb enough to claim everything was her idea, or else Samantha would have taken the fall. If the incident surfaces, she will claim that it was the maid who spread the rumors. She will also say that the maid was lying to save her
“What? The incident at the military camp-” Samantha caught her mouth as she took her own bait. “I don’t know what you are talking about. I was talking about the incident where you got the rabbit beheaded for stealing the Empress Dowager’s shoe. The one she gifted for you.” “Of course, everyone knows how a rabbit just happens to hop along and stole the shoes, magically with its paw and walked away with it.” Samantha recalled the incident. She was mad that the Empress Dowager didn’t give her the pair of shoes she wanted. Instead, she gave her an uglier pair that she didn’t like. She threw it away due to her disappointment. Then a few days later Empress Dowager asked to see it again, as it was her own shoe she had given away. Scared that she had tossed away such precious shoes, she faked that it was a rabbit that stole it. Thus, the rabbit was caught and beheaded.Samantha was boiling mad now, she got caught in her own plot. She took her own poison. Kevin said, “Samantha you need to r
