Chapter 23

• You know the feeling you get in your gut, when you know that all was doomed and that there was no turning back, the feeling you get when you know that the worst has happened. That’s exactly what he felt when he opened the door and saw his worst nightmare come to pass before his very face.
• There in the room, his lord and master’s arm around the slave mistress protectively, they cuddled up together, each cocooned in the other’s embrace and worse sleeping without a care in the world. How could you be sleeping comfortably with your enemy, an enemy who had made it clear that wouldn’t hesitate to kill him when given a chance.
• He shook his head in dismay as he looked at them, he had a feeling, it would come to this when, his Majesty had been hell bent on pursuing her ever since the night at the ball. He felt a pain in his heart as he looked at his master’s body, if only he would…. He shook his head furiously, he can’t afford such a thought, they clouded his judgement and right now, his master needed him, now that he himself wasn’t in his right mind. He took one longing look at his master’s body and that pathetic ex- Princess draped around him, he needed to put a stop to all this madness before it destroys them all.
