Hearing this revelation, Leon was left in awe. It was still a mystery to him how Lord Rosenberg’s wife hurt her own husband. Are they not on good terms?But Leon doesn’t want to gamble and ask the woman about it because she really looks scary and intimidating. Although, she was not doing anything yet to harm Leon.“Why…” That’s the only word that came out in Lord Rosenberg’s mouth. Apparently, it looks like that would be his last words before everything ends for him. His eyes were closed, and he was barely moving nor breathing anymore.“You don’t have the right to ask me why and on top of that, you don’t need to know anymore because you don’t have enough time in this world,” said Lady Rosenberg as her eyes were piercing at her husband.As Rosenberg coughs up more blood, Lady Rosenberg bends down, wiping the blood from her dagger with a handkerchief. “He was always a fool and it was his fault why this happened to him,” she continues, glancing down at her husband. “Thinking that brute
Lady Rosenberg is weighing the situation carefully because she doesn’t want to mess up the opportunity she can get by saving Leon.She knows that Leon is no ordinary man and he has all the capabilities to defeat her husband. That’s why even though Lord Rosenberg was hiding it from Leon, the truth is he already consumed more than half of his power. That's why he became gradually weak before the woman arrived in the scenario.The woman just smiled before she replied to his question. “Why are you asking me that? Do you think I will ask you to do something for me in return for saving you?” asked the woman, her voice was playful, although her eyes were still the same.It still looks scary and Leon knows that he should not do anything that can make the woman go in herself. Otherwise, his life will surely be at stake. Leon was still fortunate because Lady Rosenberg is going easy talking to him despite knowing that he was also her husband’s enemy.“It’s not like that but I’m just curious beca
Indeed Leon’s guts was right, he really can’t trust this woman as much as Lord Rosenberg. She just killed her husband anyway so that fact can already tell that she was not trustworthy from the start.The woman’s words are like bullets and Leon can tell that she was no ordinary woman because she is very wise which is very evident in the way she talks and presents herself with other people.Leon was left in awe and asked. “What? Is that even possible?” He could not believe what he was hearing because it sounded so unreal.However, the woman was just speaking about the truth. That’s why if Leon wants to stay alive, he should be careful on how he interacts and treats Lady Martha Rosenberg because his life will depend on her from now on.He can’t tell when the woman will charge him for saving his life. Nevertheless, Leon should be prepared for any circumstances that possibly happen while he was still in Rosenberg's territory.“Of course, nothing is impossible in this world as long as you h
Leon’s forehead creased, he was confused and worried at the same time because if he was not able to save his daughter today, then it will be more difficult to do it on the next day. He should take action as soon as possible before the woman elopes and hides the little girl in another place.“What do you mean? Can you please enlighten me?” asked Leon with so much confusion in his face.Is it bad if he requests to bring back his daughter to him? Of course, Lady Martha can easily do that but still she refused to fulfill his request because she knows that she can still use the little girl to manipulate Leon.“Nevermind it, you don’t need to know. Besides, my decision will still not be changed. I will not bring back that little kid to you. Not until I get what I wanted from you,” Lady Martha replied sternly, her eyes screaming with authority.But Leon refuses to back down, his face is full of determination and he knows what he needs to do from the start—it was to save his daughter no matte
Leon may have looked so calm but the truth is he was already freaking out deep inside. Whatever the woman’s condition is, for sure it will be a hard decision for Leon. He may be fortunate enough to see his daughter again but the question here is, how long will they both stay alive?He was haunted by his deep thoughts and it was obvious from the way he stared at the woman with great fear. Basically, this woman gains control from this game and once Leon violates her rule, she will not think twice to end his life like what she has done to her husband.“Or else what? Would you kill me if I didn’t surrender everything you wanted?” asked Leon, his voice was trembling but he was trying his best to hide how frightened he was.The guards are also on the alert mode so once Leon tries to resist, for sure they will not let him go—in short, he was trapped in this sort of a place which is more of a rabbit hole in reality.“Well, not only you but also that little girl. And you know what else I can d
Leon was about to cry seeing how miserable his loyal butler looks. He remembered the days when the old man was always there to protect and save him from any danger. His butler was so loyal to him to the extent that he was willing to risk his life for Leon.But look at what happened to his butler, at this moment Leon’s heart was breaking into pieces. He doesn’t know how he can help the old man or how he could at least lessen the pain that his butler is feeling right now.“No, please don’t apologize to me, Mr. Xander. I should be the one apologizing to you because I could not protect you from these people. It was all my fault…” said Leon bitterly, he can’t look in his butler at this moment because it feels like he was suffocating just by seeing him under a traumatic situation.The old man was trying to reach his hand but the guards restricted him from doing it. It was so hard for Leon to see his loyal butler down on his knees while he had already suffered enough. If he could only share
Leon was taken aback and he couldn't fight with the guards because he was still weak. On top of that, he can’t afford to do anything that can trigger Lady Martha because she can end their lives in an instant as long as she wants it.“Please hold on, my master. I know that help is on the way. I’m sorry if I was not able to fulfill my responsibility to protect you,” the butler mumbled but enough for Leon to hear it.Leon has no other choice but to bite his lower lip to prevent himself from making any noise. Lady Martha looks furious at this moment and he can’t afford to make her mad even more. He will not like it because the woman is more scary when she’s mad.Meanwhile, Martha’s guards drag Leon, Sarah, and Mr. Xander toward the dungeons, like what Lady Martha has instructed them to do.They were showing no mercy to them and they were dragging them as if they were just useless dogs. Leon was so worried about his daughter because the little girl is still unconscious at this time. He wan
Just by doing that, Lady Martha’s eyes narrowed. There was a little grin formed in her mouth knowing that there was another man who was trying to test her patience. She thought she would only need to deal with Leon but it turned out that the young boy was backed up by the people he trusted the most. These people are willing to sacrifice their life for their loved ones which the woman finds so funny because for her, only foolish and weak people do that kind of stuff.“I admire the courage you have, mister. But I’m sorry because I was not interested in your nonsense. I think you just forgot that you were in Rosenberg's secret place so you should stop acting cocky!” Lady Martha snarled, his eyes were piercing at Leon, seeming like wanting to teach him a good lesson.But Morrison did that back down, he knows his capabilities and if the woman has seen the world for long years, Morrison has encountered a lot of people for long years too. And during these years, Morrison has been learning a
