…F-Flogged to death?”
Gorden cried, his body shivering violently.
“No…NO! No, you can’t! I am telling the truth! My King! I am your loyal servant. Your have to save me!
My King-
“Silence,” Lance said grimly.
Then he turned to Andre and sighed, “Andre, I understand that you are furious. But there is no need to
punish this poor man. As far as I am concerned, he just wants to offer us his version of the story-”
“With all due respect, my king, there are no other versions of the story. My father “With all due respect,
my king, there a
in drug abuse. Period,” said Andre forcefully.
“I know. But-”
“And did you promise this man anything in return if he comes forward and testify?” Andre pursued.
Lance frowned, looking slightly offended by Andre’s aggressive attitude.
After a long pause, Lance said slowly, “Yes, I did. I promised him some money, to reward his bravery.”
“Then there you go, my King. This man is not a loyal servant. He is a fraud. His mouth is full of crap. He
made up a random story to get a share of the reward that you promised him. This whole thing is a
fucking scam!”
Andre straightened his back and looked around the room, “I still think we should punish him. The
harder the better! And set an example to those who think they can lie to the King’s face!”
There were some low mutterings in the room.
Lance’s face turned dark
“Gorden,” Lance called the peasant’s name in a cold voice.
“Y-Yes…My King…”
“Do you dare to swear on your soul that what you claimed against Alpha Daran and Gamma Janet is
true?”
Gorden quivered, “S-Swear? Yeah… Yeah, I can swear…”
“Then how do you intend to respond to Master Andre’s words?” Lance questioned.
“How…How do I respond…?” Gorden mumbled.
He looked horrified, dumbfounded.
He sat stiffly on the ground.
A few seconds later, a stinky smell came from his lower body.
Everyone looked down and found that he had wet his pants in fear.
“…Eww.”
Many wrinkled their noses in disgust.
“…Eww.”
Many wrinkled their noses in disgust.
“My King, can we please have the guards drag this clown out of here?” Morgana said with a sneer. “I
think it has been made clear now that this man knows nothing about General Danton’s death. He is just
after the money that you promised.”
Lance let out a frustrated sigh.
Then he waved his hand, “Guards. Approach.”
Several armed soldiers came forward and stood in front of Gorden.
“Drag this man to the Central Square and flog him 50 times,” Lance said wearily. “Let the world know
the consequence of lying to the King.”
“Yes, my King!”
The soldiers bent down and picked Gorden up from the ground. They dragged him to the door like
dragging a dead pig.
Gorden had passed out in fear. His wet pants left a smelly stain on the hardwood floor.
“God.”
Morgana covered her mouth and rolled her eyes, “This room smells like piss. Can someone wipe the
floor please?”
Lance snapped his fingers and called over a few maids. The maids cleaned the floor and opened the
windows, letting some fresh air in to get rid of the smell.
“Well, what a shit show.” Daran crossed his arms and said with a sneer, “Are we done with this now?”
“Well, I think so…yeah.”
Lance gave Daran and Janet a searching look, “But I might need to add a few guards to your room,
Alpha Daran…for safety concerns.”
“Are you trying to spy on us?” Janet asked in fume.
“No, of course not, Gamma Janet. This is a temporary measure. Trust me. I will pull the guards right
away when…things quiet down again.”
Lance said with a grin. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“And those e guards are there to protect you. You can’t shift in this city and our General just died…This
is really a turbulent time. So please, accept my good will and let the guards protect you.”
This was complete bullshit.
Lance simply wanted to keep an eye on them.
He was not fully convinced by Andre’s story. Yet he couldn’t prove that they were guilty either.
So he sent over those guards to have them closely monitored.
Janet bit her lip, reluctant.
If they said no, it would make Lance suspicious; yet if they agreed, they would lose their freedom to
move around in the city…

“My King.”
Morgana spoke up abruptly, taking a step forward.
“Leave this to me. Me and my guards will take good care of Alpha Daran and Gamma Janet.”
Janet looked at Morgana.
Morgana gave her a small wink.
“Very well, then.” Lance cleared his throat. “Are you fine with this arrangement, Alpha Daran?”
Daran shrugged, “If you feel that it is necessary.”
Morgana beckoned over a few guards and asked them to send Daran and Janet back. to their suite.
Once they were back in their room, Janet immediately closed the door behind her and said to Daran,
“Does Lance seem weird to you?”
Daran raised an eyebrow, “You mean how soft he was on this?”
“Yeah. He sensed that we were involved in Danton’s death, but he still decided not to pursue it…
Why?” Janet bit her nails anxiously. “It almost seems like that he was trying to protect us. How weird is
that?”
“It is weird,” Daran nodded. “If I didn’t know any better, I am almost getting the feeling that he was in
love with you.”
“Hey!” Janet pouted, “Stop it! It is not the time for joke.”
Daran chuckled.
He walked over and rescued Janet’s thumb out of her teeth, “Don’t worry too much. We don’t need to
understand the mind of a psycho like Lance. We already knew how to kill him. Now we just need to wait
for the right time and make the move. Maybe we will give him a moment to confess himself before he
dies.”
Janet smiled.
Daran always had a way to calm her down.
“Then do we have a plan?” Janet asked, “How should we lure Lance out of the city?”
“I already have something in mind. But this plan involves Kass. We should make contact with him.”
But how?
Janet frowned.
There were almost a dozen soldiers outside guarding their door right now.
From an earlier peek out of the window, she even saw a few guards walking around. underneath their
window.
Their suite was literally an iron bucket.
Daran put a thumb in between her brows and flattened the furrow, “Let me worry
should do!!
Daran put a thumb in between her brows and flattened the furrow, “Let me worry about these. Now
there is something more important we should do.”
Janet gave him a perplexed look.
“Let’s take a nap.” Daran grinned, “I didn’t get enough sleep this morning. Join me
in the bed.”
He spooned her up and carried her to the bedroom. She was giggling the whole way. They slept
through the whole afternoon.
When they woke up from the nap, the sun had already set.
Janet sat up and reached for the lamp on the nightstand.
Daran wrapped his arms around her waist dragging her back and pulled the sheet over to cover their
heads.
His body was on top of her. He lowered his head to nibble her neck, his hot breath. spread on her bare
skin.
It was itchy. She giggled, “…S-Stop! We need to get up now…”
She pushed him on the shoulder.
Yet he caught her wrist and pinned her hand back to the bed.
“Says whom?” Daran said in a husky voice. “I just want to stay in this bed with forever.”
He lowered his head and caught her lips eagerly.
Janet opened her mouth. A hoarse groan escaped her parted lips.
Just when he was moving his hand up her thigh, a knock came from the door.
“Fuck,” Daran cursed, looking frustrated.
you
Janet giggled. She pushed him away and jumped off the bed, running to get the door.
It was Morgana.
“Room service. I brought you dinner.”
“Yes, Lady Morgana!” the guards answered in unison.
The door closed behind their backs.
“Wow, room service,” Janet said with a slightly sarcastic tone. “Looks like we are really grounded.”
“Not necessarily so.”
Morgana gave her a mystery smile, “I brought you a surprise.”

The door closed behind their backs.

Morgana gave her a mystery smile, “I brought you a surprise.”
The servant took off his mask and showed his face.
“Kass!”
Janet rounded her eyes and gasped in surprise.
