Chapter 85 - Promises Are Made To Be Broken

Alex clenched his fists, a little more force then he palms would bleed. He decided when he will meet that man who mistreated his mother, as a son he would definitely take revenge.

After the meeting, the group of friends met in the garden discussing their future plan, in one week time, all six of them had to return back to college with master Rotrigues.

" Emmy, how can you be sure that within one week, we will come to know about the next lead. Well, we will be returning back to our college in just 7 days right."

Emmy had thought of dropping out of college but then Alex mentioned an idea to her. She knew that Alex wanted her to be stress-free but his idea was best in this situation.

" Janet, when the enemy thinks that we have kept our guard down, they will come in the light to strike. The fact that we are still powerless in front of the core power is a great disadvantage to us. While we wait for them to strike, let's strengthen ourselves. I have asked Juliet to form the plan for it. By the way, did you inform your family about the things?"

A cold expression suddenly washed over Janet's face, she shook her head indicating that her family didn't pay attention over her words. Emmy and Juliet looked at each other, then Juliet added, " I guess, none of the clan will believe about the core power or the black world. We still don't know who all are in cahoots with the black world."

" Also, my grandfather requested us to visit the Posei family once before we go back."

Everyone agreed with Mike on the front, they decided to visit the Posei family the next day. Eliza and Kiara wanted to join them but their husbands were put on another important task. So they left for the hunt for the book Ravenic with the group of alpha guards.

Meanwhile, at the Salian tribe, dark clouds gathered around the second prince's residence from the day of his marriage. Every day the servants heard their prince and his wife arguing. None of them liked the Agnartic princess, she had a bad temper and always blamed each and every servant inside the household.

Once the servants of the second prince manor met those from the residence of the crown prince at the market, while discussing their mistresses, the maids from the crown prince were in all praises making the second prince manor's maids jealous. They heard that all servants, from cook to the lowly maids were considered as a family at the crown prince's residence. Every day it is fun and life was much enjoyable there, it was clearly seen from their countenance. All looked well-groomed and healthy, happiness was shown in their faces as they were waiting to welcome back their master and mistress.

Returning back to the residence, one of the maids commented, " They are going to celebrate the return of their master and mistress tomorrow. All were blooming happily. "

" When will they be returning ?"

Suddenly a voice startled all the maids who were engaged in gossiping about the crown prince residence. All became silent at once but the maid who had commented was made to kneel down and answer their mistress. Arona hated when these lowly maids showed their respect to Victor over her and stood silent when she enquired something.

Arona roared again, " When will they return, you, the one in the yellow dress, answer what did you hear about the crown prince ?"

The shivering maid without raising her head, she answered her mistress's questions one by one. Later she was gifted with a tight slap on her face, cutting her lips and on spot, bleeding was seen.

" You, from today onwards, will send me news about the crown prince and major activities happening at his residence. Also, you will be visiting the residence to give that vile woman a present. Deliver it straight to her hands and pass her a message that she is just a substitute for time being."

The maid nodded her head with tears flowing over the face. When Victor received the news of Arona treating the maids like slaves, he didn't mind at all. The number of young maids disappearing from his residence was no less and no one dared to raise a voice against till now. He was glad that now the blame of his mischiefs can be directly pointed to her head.

He summoned his blackguard, " Any news on Rasber? Where was he last seen."

The blackguard was ashamed as this was the first time he didn't have answers to his master's questions. He was scared whether his master would belittle his credibility and remove him from the head position, so he lied, " Master, Rasber was last seen at your wedding day. He had assigned his lackeys in checking the people around the crown prince on that day. He was keen on finding the information about the crown princess and her friends."

Victor didn't feel anything amiss, his mind was over the mission from the black world. He tried to find clues from the Dagardian and Posei family but had no further leads. Just as he was planning his next move, an owl landed on the table and on its leg was a note tied. He took out the note and freed the owl through the window. Later, he checked his surroundings and after making sure that there were no suspicious persons, he opened the note.

" STOP FINDING THE JADE… 

Separate that woman from the serpent...

She must be with us in any way."

Victor destroyed the note and sat there in half relief, finding that Jade was hard but now dealing with a woman was his left-hand play. He again summoned his blackguard who was now sweating profusely but after hearing his master's orders, he quickly left the study room happily. He was assigned the new task of spying on the crown prince and his friends. He thought it was a simple task but he didn't know that Jordan was the best of a spy in the whole land of VilmonArk and with him around the crown prince, no one would be able to check on him.

Victor after getting relieved from the tension decided to enjoy the night today with his new bride. He left the study room and reached his wife's chamber in no time. Just as he was about to enter, he heard a conversation between Arona and her personal maid discussing how to plot against him.

" Wow, I didn't know that she was this cunning, hmm.. alright, let me see at what all length will she go for getting onto that imbecile's bed huh.."

Victor smiled and made sounds like someone was approaching. Inside the room, the maid adjusted the blanket over Arona and pretended that her mistress was sick.

Victor entered the chamber and saw his healthy wife pretending to be in poor health. He asked the maid to go out and he sat over her bedside. 

" This woman is acting well. I wonder what if I didn't come here before, she would have tricked me easily. it is time to enjoy some new ones, I guess"

Victor thought it in his mind and smiled to himself.

" Dreaming about him right, do not worry, I will make your dream come true. Be ready tomorrow, we will visit the crown prince residence together."

Arona laid there saying anything but Victor's next sentence made her frantic. 

" He will be gone for the next half a year, so this is your last chance to meet him for now. Now that you are so sick, I can go alone. "

" Okay, I will be ready after the morning court, we will go together ".

Arona was getting ecstatic but she forgot that her ploy was destroyed just the moment she opened her mouth. She looked at Victor who was grinning cunningly observing her chest. She quickly adjusted the blanket and sternly asked,

" Although I'm ill, I should pay him a visit and you, please go to your chamber. I need to rest."

Victor stood up after hearing Arona and just as she thought that he was leaving, he rudely pulled her out of the bed and forcefully entered her private space. For the next few minutes, Arona saw what was hell. After the deed, Victor slowly whispered over her ears, " This is for plotting against me, Envoy Salian Victorian. I have settled the score with you and next is your maid."

Arona, in the midst of gasping for air, turned her naked body around to face this monster.

" You promised to the elders after marriage only I will be the woman in your life."

Victor laughed out loud and said, " What elders, those puny men cannot stop me from doing whatever I want. For me, Promises are made to be broken. Go and complain if you dare."

After saying his piece, Victor went in search of his next prey.
