THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 116:INSTINCT AT WORK
Rafi didn't know how to break the news to him, he was in chains about to be executed. What could he possibly do right now? Nothing he guessed! He was confused about the turnaround of events, just moments ago, he was holding the blade and now the blade hung over his head.“Where's Marx? He was in the prison, where have you hid him?” Khal Duraho roared in anger.“I don't know where he is, you can ask General Gray about his whereabouts, he was the last to see him.” Khalodi said flatly.Khal Duraho turned his gaze to General Gray, expecting an answer but since he delayed, he walked to him with the shiny sword.“My king, I don't know what he's talking about, I've not seen Marx since he was imprisoned.” Gray blurted“He was last seen with Marx before his flight, my king.” Kaminski added.“So that means you knew that Marx wasn't the one to be executed but you let this innocent man out to be decapitated and wanted us to believe we had executed Marx, right?” Khal Duraho asked“No, not that my
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 117: EVIL SEEKS WHOM TO DEVOUR
The moon hung low in the midnight sky, casting eerie shadows across the well furnished chamber of the king. The air was thick with tension as Khal Duraho stood outside his glorious castle, his heart pounding like a war drum in his chest. His hands clenched into fists, trembling with rage and anguish. Just hours ago, his world was in the best shape ever. In his mind, Marx was still in prison, Lateefah was taking treatment and the twins were in his possession but now it had been shattered by a doctor and her group. He was going to get to the bottom of that.Khal Duraho was pale, the shock of the disappearance of the twins made him quiet. He checked the twins severally and they were not the ones he carried in his arms in Southeros. Killing the doctor wouldn't suffice, something more would satisfy him. He wanted to torture her in a way that she would beg for her life and that of her ancestors. He was so angry that he couldn't express it. He wanted to dissipate her energy and those she wor

Caitlyn quickly turned her gaze back to her wineglass. She could feel flames of fire burn in her cheeks. Her hands were shaking with such intensity that she could barely lift her glass to her lips.“Something wrong?” The man in mask inquired with an innocent air.“No. Nothing,” she replied sharply. Caitlyn didn't like the beat that raced through her insides. She didn't like the way she was imagining her companion doing the same things to her. She wondered what it would be like to have him touch her breast. She didn't dare let herself of his lips on her. “ Where else do you want to take me tonight?”“Oh, I'm sorry you don't like this place. But this is how the lowly born revel.”“Lowly born?”“The giant workaholics, those who work for the rich, rather, you would prefer something more gentle?”She lifted her eyes to him. “ Proper. Yes I would like a more proper setting.”“Of course.” He rose and took her hand.Caitlyn nearly raced out of the building and into the carriage. In less than

**************“She killed him?”“Tell him where you saw the body, Rafi”“I saw the body hidden in the last room at the end of the corridor just before your chambers, my king.”“My king, I know you're surprised but you should remember she's a doctor and she knows the right place to attack which would weaken a vibrant sturdy young man like him.”Khal Duraho paced angrily around his room, his breath was heard even from outside the room. Anytime he wanted strangling her with his bare hands, Khalodi stepped in and he mellowed down a bit.“A woman kills my servant, she can never go scot-free.”“My king, that's true but I don't want us to make mistakes, let's just interrogate her and when we get what we want, we execute her and get the twins.”Khal Duraho finally sat on his bed. He took his golden cup on the locker beside his bed and poured in a drink and gulped in, trying to relax his nerves. Wine made him calm a lot, many people didn't know.“Who do you work for? Who sent you here?” Khal

Khalodi wrote something down and gave it to Rafi to deliver to General Kaminski and Gray in their various cells.“Deliver it to Kaminski and Gray, ensured you're not followed and make sure you don't read it as well.”Yes General, Rafi took the paper and saluted before leaving.Caitlyn woke up and she looked around the tent. She was confused, the body beside her scared her, everything scared her. What does it mean to have an intimate time with the villain? Where was she? Was she still dreaming or was it real? She was drenched in her own sweat. Her heart thumped hard in her chest but there was no one to talk to. She hadn't had much friends, Cassandra and her mother was all she ever had since leaving the princess’ space. What was he doing in her dream? She actually thought it was Rafi who she was sharing such special moments only to see Khal Duraho. The same Khal Duraho that forcefully took the twins. The dream was so weird and what was weirder was that she hardly dreamt. She always hea

“Rafi will be here anytime soon,I've got to tie you up before he comes back.”She smiled as she stretched forth her hands. He was happy, the slap made her satisfied now the plan would go smoothly. “No, actually behind you, most convicts have their hands tied behind.” He said giggling.“What do you mean convicts, I've not been proven guilty yet and besides I didn't kill anyone.” Cassandra said, defending herself.“Hey hey hey, tone it down, you might not want an eavesdropper to hear that.” Khalodi said casually.“Are they people listening to us?” She said suddenly realizing that she was quite loud.Khalodi remembered the guards chatting informally within themselves, how he heard everything. It could have easily been anyone, could have even been the king who heard them that night. “The walls have ears, that's all I can say.”“Okay, I'll be more discreet”, she whispered.“Are we still taking questions?” Khalodi asked.Was it a question and answer session? Cassandra asked.“I'm not sure
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 122: LOYALTY THEN SERVICE
The walls really had ears. Khal Duraho was not shocked, he saw it coming but he would be lying if he said he didn't feel betrayed. He was about to give him everything he wanted after the capture of Marx but it would have been his greatest mistake yet alive. He tiptoed back to his room.The moon stared at them high up in the sky casting a warm, golden glow across the enormous castle. Rafi's heart raced as he hurried through the winding paths, his eyes darting from side to side, searching for any sign of Cassandra.He had to be smart and do whatever it took even if it meant taking his own brother, his loyalty was only to General Khalodi. His mind still reeling from the news he was just told. Khal Duraho's fury had been palpable, his eyes burning with a cold, calculating rage that sent a shiver down Rafi's spine.He looked into Khalodi's eyes in their last conversation, all he saw was fear.As he rounded a corner to the infirmary, Rafi caught a glimpse of a manly figure. The guard that

The air was thick with tension as Khalodi, realizing that Duraho had uncovered his deception, bolted out of the castle with Cassandra close behind. Duraho, his face contorted with rage, rallied his men and gave chase, determined to capture the fleeing pair.The castle, a sprawling labyrinth of towers and corridors, provided ample hiding places, but Khalodi's familiarity with the terrain gave him a slight advantage. He darted through the shadows, his heart pounding, as Cassandra struggled to keep up."We have to find a way out of here!" Cassandra whispered urgently, her eyes darting around the dimly lit hallway.Khalodi nodded, his mind racing. "I know these halls better than anyone. Follow me, and stay close."They rounded a corner, only to be met with the sound of thundering footsteps. Duraho's men were closing in, their shouts echoing through the castle.Khalodi grabbed Cassandra's hand and pulled her into a narrow alcove, pressing their bodies against the cold stone wall as the sol
