Augur was the first to step into Priest's room after Sheila left, and he stood in horror at the lifeless man sprawling on the mattress in his pools of blood. He knew who did it and why she did what she did.It had seemed absurd when Sheila brought the suggestion, and it takes Augur's slow mind some days to accept the decision he made in a moment of anxiety."Why should everybody die because of a man's decision? The priest is fighting a lost battle and will bring everyone down along with him.""I agree, but what can we do? He is the most influential, richest and all my future is tied to him.""Kill him and take over your company. I will inform prince El Ramon of your service and beg him to support you.""Did you think he will agree with that?""Yes. This island still needs your services and knowledge of the sea. Even though your ships may be impounded by the prince, he won't still have the courage to send his men into the open sea without an experienced sailor.""Even though it was Pr
Harmony returned to the ranch as soon as the assassins left and only lasted for a while. "You killed him to look for the Prince's favour, isn't it?""I already told you the truth. It was Sheila that murdered him. I only lied to them to save our heads.""Tell that to a clown. You are the one that murdered him, and I feel pity for the poor lady you were lying on. Who knows what you did to her.""Keep your mouth shut and get off my sight. If you are too blind to comprehend the situation we are in, then there is no point proving to you that I did everything for all of us."The short, fat and equally mean-looking man shakes his head in disgust, hissed and let out, "did she help you to murder him, and then got murdered by you, or did you do it all alone.""Keep talking and I will put a bullet in your skull.""I had suspected there was a spy among us but had never believed it was one of the three Musketeers.""Tell me more!""Did prince promise you his post if you killed him?""Aye. And som
The seven beasts were in a melancholy mood since the news of Jade's death, and nothing seemed to be working to make them happy. Not even the presence of the gift from the royal palace."El Ramon and his wife send us a ship and invitation to the palace for their wedding and coronation.""You guys should go and leave me with the baby. I'm not in the mood for celebration after losing my only daughter.""Jade's death is painful to all of us and it will be difficult to forget her. Yet, we can't keep living in this miserable mood forever.""Please let me be. I want to mourn her as long as I can. Go without me."The five men sighed, shrugged, and hissed. And then walked out of their ranch and were immediately lost in the dawn that covered the world at its time. It was the cries of a baby that brought the lost thought man out of his reverie, and he immediately stood up and wobbled closer to the baby couch far off, picked him up and began to sing a lullaby and dance along. Thirty-one years a
'Click.'The merchant looked stunned when the gun in his hand produce no sound, and he pressed the trigger again and again. A sudden uppercut send him rolling on the ground, and two hands jerked him up and then smacked him on the floor. "Wound you have shot me if there is a bullet in the gun?""No. Ahh! Am dying.""Take him out and bring me his head... And you, why are you so dumb that he snatched a gun from you and shoot at me? I would have been dead meat if I had not out rule putting bullets in your guns whenever you are around me in the palace."Am so sorry, my lord.""Too bad. I was considering your past service to the crown and this is the reason why I will spare your life. Collect my gun and every other thing belonging to me and stripped him of his uniform.""Please forgive me, my lord.""Get off my sight."The life of a mafia prince is difficult, and any leniency may result in a drastic outcome. That is why is easier to climb the mafia throne than to remain on it for a long t
"Why did you agree to trick me?""Am sorry, your highness. Her majesty made me do it.""Where is she?""I have no idea.""This may cost you your life. Speak now.""Before all gods, I have no idea where she went to. I was ordered to remain indoors and not to attend to anyone until she comes back.""What kind of clothing did she wear?""An oversize black gown, scarf and black net... She was talking to herself and I believe she is on her way to search for Jade.""Gush!" El Ramon exclaimed, cast a killing look on the kneeling lady, shakes his head and announced, "I will be back for you. Remain indoors and don't attend to anyone."The lady was too shocked at his shrieking voice, and the prince did not care to wait for an answer, but breathed out loud and stormed out of his wife's room."Where is Banjo?""At the rear gate.""Call him for me now!"He was still fuming and walking from one end of his palace to the other end when Banjo strolled inside, bowed and let out, "here I am, my lord.""
All Banjo's efforts to locate Andrea proved abortive, and after searching through the nook and cranny of the Inn, he shrugged, hissed and instructed some of the men at his back to go into the town and search for her. All the ladies of services claimed they haven't seen any stranger except for a lady who believed she saw someone in a black tuxedo and head scarf."Where is she?""I have no idea. She informed me she is a new worker here, and I advised her to stand on her feet and look for customers.""Did you see her after?""No.""Did she talk with anyone else?""Not sure. I was picked by a rich merchant and we were together afterwards.""Don't hesitate to inform any mafia around whenever you see her again.""I will. Did she steal something from the palace?""Worse than that.""Any bounty on her head."Banjo nodded his head, stepped closer to the lady and whispered, "she is supposed to get married to my best friend in two days. My friend is dying from her absence, and I had vowed to ca
El Ramon fixed his eyes on the outgoing mafia, turned towards the lady on the queen's throne beside him and asked, "why did he lie?""I have no idea.""Are you sure you don't?""Yes, my lord. I don't know why he speaks with false tongue."El Ramon shrugged, stood up and let out, "go back to your room and remained indoors. As I warned earlier, don't accept anyone inside until I allow you to.""As your lordship wish,"Mafias and maids bowed as he strode through the palace corridor, and the grim on his face became less horrific suddenly."I am on my way to see you, my prince.""Here I am. Tell me about the progress.""Nothing yet. All this island was ransacked but we didn't see the subject."" Did you meet Zuma on your way in?""Yes. And he was as sad as doom and hardly noticed my presence.""He lied that he spend his night in his house when I have mafias watching his places and he hadn't stepped there since he left here yesterday.""Why will he tell an untruth over trivial things like t
The two guards attending to the pregnant woman in captivity were having the worst time of their lives."I want the water to be hot and not lukewarm. Please prepare another one for me-. And you, did you call this disgusting morsel a meal? Get it off my sight before I puked and prepare my a flavorful feast with lots of vegetables, fish and meats."The two men scrambled out of sight, and one promptly returned to inform her of the readiness of hotter water for her bathe."Holy Madona! Did you want to burn my skin?.. I need cool water to mix it, please."After fetching two more buckets, the man was appreciated with more scowl and nag as he hurried out of the presence of the bitter woman. "The food is done.""Thank you, I hope it was worth all the time I had spent waiting for it.""Huh!""Oh my gosh. This is worse than the previous meal... Please take it out of my sight and get me a jug of juice as you prepare me a sandwich."After hundreds of errands in a few hours, the two men slammed t
