Luca was groaning hard because of the excruciating pain in his left shoulder where arrow had stuck him. His cried echoed breaking the eeriness of the dark side of the palace. He was thankful to Stephano who was present over there who immediately aided his wounds and took him inside. Balbina's tears were not stopping after seeing her lover in so much pain.
The old lady, Aelia muttered, " what were you doing over there after delivering the message? You should have come down, idiot. Were you waiting for her to stuck her arrow? Hmm? Master will be so dissapointed with us. " She shook her head. Luca was so ashamed of himself that he couldn't confess to his team that the beauty of the lady intrigued him. How was he supposed to tell them he was so busy in drinking the beauty of the lady that he didn't get the time to react.
A gasp escaped her lips when Balbina sniffed and said, "Master already knows. He was in his balcony and saw the whole drama.
Ritha was just metres away from her culprit when she heard Aquila's agonizing scream. The culprit ran away after freeing herself from Aquila's clutches.She used a sharp pointed object to pierce Aquila's arms. Ritha rushed towards Aquila who was sitting on the floor holding her wounded hand . Before she could collapse, Ritha held her tightly in her embrace. Aquila was so ashamed at herself for letting the culprit go but Ritha consoled her that it was completely fine. Ritha looked around but unfortunately couldn't catch even a glimpse of the lady . What she found was a folded paper lying next to Aquila. She picked up the paper and clenched it in her hands. Anger was dancing in her eyes as she believed in fighting face to face unlike cowards who attack from back and play puzzles. She supported Aquila to get up and took her in her room. After cleaning Aquila's wound , Ritha asked her, " did you notice anything in particul
Augustus was fast enough to dodge the attack of the sword. Without turning back, he held the sword from it's tip which caused blood to gush out from his palm. He swiftly rotated the sword and snatched it from the attacker's hand.All the four culprits had an apprehensive look on their face after seeing Augustus's deadly stare. Without sparing even a single second, Augustus attacked the one standing on his left side. The hallway echoed with his brutal scream. Augustus was fast enough to pick up the culprit's fallen sword. It was three against one now with Augustus having two swords in his each hand. Spontaneity being Augustus's key factor, it was easy for him to kill the two. He deliberately didn't kill the third one to get the answers.After crossing the three bodies which were covered in pool of blood, Augustus ran behind the fourth culprit who was trying to run. In a blink of an eye, he held the culprit by his collar and drag
Augustus patted Marcus's back and replied, "I'll take care of myself ,don't worry Marcus. Enough about me, how are you? " Augustus had a loving look on his face towards his brother.Marcus raised his eyebrows making a face and asked him, " you were the one who was attacked and you are asking about my well being. First tell me, what were you looking at? What was so intriguing in your hand that you forgot about your injury? " Augustus sighed loudly knowing that his brother won't let this topic slip. He carefully took out the piece of paper from his pocket and kept it on the table. Marcus's eyes instantly fell on paper which had a painting of an eagle with a little message written beneath it. Marcus was utterly confused, "what's this?"Augustus clenched his jaws and said in a frosty tone, "that's what I am trying to find out. I won't spare this bastard or bastards if they are more than one in number once they are under my clu
Marcus huffed and said, "fine, it's Ritha... "He was interrupted by Augustus's angry voice, "don't you dare complete that sentence. "Marcus was confused at first but when the matter dawned upon him, he smirked at his brother. Augustus thought that he was saying that the lady was Ritha which was not the case with Marcus. Marcus wanted to further tease Augustus but decided against it when he saw the angry look in his eyes. He completed, "right now I said that Ritha is like my sister , I'm talking about her female protector, Aquila. "Marcus rolled his eyes when he saw Augustus releasing a sigh of relief. "You are smitten by your wife's charm and grace. " mocked Marcus."Forget about me, plan about your wedding with Aquila. Right now, these cowards are a big issue for me. " Augustus masked his happiness and this time, he wanted to divert the topic.Marcus's playful looks went away when he saw the serious looks on his brother's face. He felt sy
Before Rithambara could take out her small sword from her waistband, the intruder held her hands and whispered in a hushed tone, "not this time sweetheart. "Rithambara, who till now had an angry look giggled softly. " You love attacking from the backside. Isn't it? "What Ritha didn't realise was that they were standing next to their room and Augustus opened the door of his room and pulled her inside with him. He smirked, "You look enticing from behind. " But his smirk fell down when he saw Ritha giving him one of her deadliest look. "Wh.... What happened? I swear, it was not to disrespect you. God! I'm your husband! I can say that. ""Husband or not you don't get to say such despicable things."Augustus had his eyes wide, "despicable ? I'm your husband! It's definitely not despicab.... Alright! Pardon me! It is despicable ." he changed his sentence in mid when he saw his wife's anger rising.Here, Rithambara was just teasing Augustus to see
Ritha had never been so apprehensive in her life till that moment. . All those emotions were overwhelming for her. Suddenly, she saw her husband looking at her lips with keen interest and out of fear she chapped both of her lips together and pressed it into a thin line.Augustus had a huge smile playing on his lips. It was an euphoric feeling for him as he finally had someone who would tease him, smile with him and bring emotions out of him. He slowly brought his hands to her lips and freed them. "Is that a blush that I'm seeing on your cheeks, dear wife? " teased Augustus.Ritha didn't get the time to react when Augustus brought his lips on her. Her eyes drooped down and she was waiting for him to remove his lips but instead of removing his lips, Augustus ran his tongue on her lips. This caught Rithambara off guard. She tilted her head a bit in order to avoid his tongue touching her lips. This made Augustus's tongue lick her left cheek.
After being caught by Aurelius in such an intimate position, Ritha and Augustus couldn't fathom what to do next. After quickly getting up from the bed Ritha turned around and started looking at the walls with keen interest in order to avoid eye contact with Aurelius. She mentally slapped herself for being careless. Firstly Marcus and now Aurelius saw her in such a way.Augustus's frustration escalated after seeing Aurelius. He glared at Aurelius who himself was flushed. Augustus broke the awkward silence by questioning Aurelius, "What are you doing here? Don't you know how to knock? "Aurelius who was beyond ashamed, apologized, "I beg your pardon, your Highness. I came to know through Highness Marcus that you were attacked and injured so I was worried for you so I came as fast as I can and I forgot to knock, I once again apologize for my recklessness. "Augustus's lips twitched a bit upwards seeing so much concern in his
"We need to execute our plan well because we can not afford to lose more soldiers of ours. It was a bad move of yours to send messages at first. Why don't we kill them already ?" frustration was leaking out of Aelia's mouth when she spoke these words.She was very furious at the fact that their four soldiers died just in order to send message to Augustus. Even Luca got hurt by Augustus's wife. It wasn't even a week since she had arrived yet she had reeked havoc for them. She raked her teetered hand through her silver shiny hair in order to calm herself.Stephano didn't like anyone defying him but instead of venting out his anger, he kept his calm because he knew that in a group, unity plays a key role. He straightened his position and cranked his neck side wise which produce a crackling sound. After calming himself he muttered in his deep voice, "nothing goes in vain, Aelia. The fear which is instilled in their heart is because of me
