Chapter 205 - Sick Bitch

Victoria watched as the guards took away Pauline from the castle. She shivered to see Pauline looked like a wreck and had those crazy dilated eyes for the first time. The maids also checked her things and they found photos of Kenzo under her bed. It's one of the reasons why she doesn't want anyone to clean her room unless she hides all of it. 

She turned around slowly and looked at the photos of Kenzo. There were photos of him half-naked and photos of him seducing Victoria. The bitch cut off her face and changed it with hers. Then, she found out from the investigation that Pauline was a lady from a noble family and she was also considered as one of Kenzo's reserved brides. 

"She's insane," Victoria mumbled as her husband sighed and approached her. 

"Love, she's gone now. I also warn her family, they can't appear in front of you." He kissed her temple. "Let's take a break now. We have a long flight tomorrow." He kissed her lips and then he rubbed her waist. He started becoming intimate with her but Victoria couldn't get aroused after seeing the craziness that Pauline showed. "Hey," he sighed and he pushed the box away. He carried her out of her room and took her to his room. "Love, I need you right now." 

"Alright," She nodded and kicked her shoes off. "Kenz," She called while unbuttoning his shirt. "What if you got married to her back then?" 

"That's not going to happen. I didn't like her from the very start even when we were young. I don't remember her at all." He kissed her lips and pulled down her dress. He quickly sucked each of her nipples. "Let's not talk about her. How about we watch some sex movies first?" 

He pushed himself up and undressed. She smiled when she saw his sexy abdominal. He reached the remote and turned on the television and put it on the porn movies. She laughed and lay down. Her husband undressed her and kissed every inch of her. The couple made love and fell asleep. 

At six in the evening, that's when Victoria got up and tapped her husband. She gets everything ready and takes a quick bath. When she came out, he's still in bed, so she smacked his butt. 

"Victoria," he mumbled. "Let's make love again." 

"Hey, we will be late, Kenz. Get up." She patted his head and kissed it. 

"I love you." He mumbled and pushed himself up. "Tell me, why do we have to leave again?" 

She giggled and kissed his lips. 

"It's your business trip. Wash up. We are leaving in an hour." 

He scratched his head and yawned. He felt lazy after sleeping in the afternoon yet his wife looked excited to go out to another country. He got up, lazily went to the bathroom, and brushed his teeth. He stared at his reflection. He looked tired, probably because he was overworking himself while his wife looked utterly seductive. 

They left ten minutes earlier and seeing how beautiful his wife was made his heart melted. He leaned on her and held her hand. 

"What's wrong?" She asked and caressed his hair. 

"Nothing. I just love you." 

"Why are you clingy today?" She giggled and hugged him. 

It's probably because of the bad dream that he had. He wanted to tell his wife that he loves her every day. 

"I just love you." He said again. 

"Alright," 

<><><><> 

Maverick looked at his wife who was busy on his drawing tablet. He just finished his work and they should have dinner soon. 

"Do you want to see your parents?" Maverick asked out of nowhere. 

"No." She shrugged. "I am fine without seeing them for long. I mean, they don't care. I will just send gifts every month." 

"You are so harsh," Maverick smirked and he stood from his seat and approached her on the sofa. He kissed her lips and she pushed his face away. 

"I'm not in the mood." She said and put away her tablet. 

"Alright," He knelt in front of her and shoved his face into her tummy. "How about I cook you dinner?" 

"Okay." She shrugged. "Aren't they already making dinner?" 

"I want to make something special for you." 

"Sure." She grinned. 

"So, don't get annoyed at me. Alright?" 

She giggled and scooped his face. A knock on the door interrupted their happy moment. He stood and the door opened. His steward or secretary bowed. 

"Sir, Butler Reinheart is here." 

Stacey peeked at Butler Reinheart who entered and bowed at them. 

"What brings you here?" Maverick approached him and shook his head. 

Stacey on the other hand looked at both who have similarities. The door closes and then Butler Reinheart bowed at Stacey. 

"The Empress wanted you to visit the Aqua Castle. It's urgent." 

He looked at his wife who was quite puzzled. 

"Can I go?" She asked. The Butler nodded his head. 

"Should we have dinner first?" Maverick asked her. 

"Maybe a little." She said. 

The couple had dinner while Butler Reinheart arranged a few necessary things. He then drove them to the Aqua castle that's an hour's drive. At the backseat, Stacey was napping with her husband. He glanced at them multiple times while driving carefully. 

"How's the report regarding Victoria's assistant?" Maverick asked Armin. 

"They already sent her to a facility. The family didn't want her to get in jail and so the Duke sent her to a mental facility." 

"She's from a noble family." He mumbled and kept caressing his wife's hair. 

"Yes, sir. She had this obsession with the Duke ever since they were young." 

"Which family is she from?" He asked. 

"Count Fendi." He answered. 

"I never thought that she would have that kind of lewd obsession." He mumbled and looked outside. "Thank you for driving us. I think my wife and I need a little break in the Aqua Castle." 

"It's a pleasure," Armin answered and focused on driving. 

It's dark in the driveway when suddenly there's a man who stepped out from the sidewalk. Armin slowed down and the man only stood in the middle. 

Maverick held his wife tightly. His eyes dilated as they got closer. The height of the man and the figure was familiar. It's like slow motion when the man lifted his left hand and pointed it to them. Butler Reinheart put it on a fast speed as the man started firing. He pushed down Stacey who woke up and looked up at him. 

"Mave," She called and hugged him. 

Butler Reinheart ran through the man but the man dodged him. He continued driving and shortly, the agents that he set up around came out and started chasing the assassin. 

"Are you alright?" Maverick asked and carefully pulled Stacey up. "Baby?" He reached her tummy. 

"I'm fine." Stacey panted and held his coat. "What's going on?" She asked and looked around. 

"We are safe now." He mumbled. 

"I'm sorry for dragging you here, Duke Maverick, Duchess…" Butler Reinheart mumbled. "But both of you aren't safe from the Wild Orchid Castle. We already sent out agents to guard others." 

"What do you mean?" 

"I will explain when we get to Aqua castle," Armin said. 

Maverick hugged his wife tightly. His heartfelt like it's going to come out of his chest. 

"That man," Maverick said. "That man killed Kenzo's parents. Am I right?" 

"Yes, his name is Reno Harold. He was the King's Butler. Somehow, he was connected to Prince Aljur's wife." 

Stacey's eyes widened and looked up at Maverick. He caressed her hair and kissed her forehead. 

"Then, did Prince Aljur's wife get investigated?" 

"Yes. But they fled to another country. We are still tracking them." 

They soon reached the Aqua castle and soon after they passed the bridge, it got folded to make a complete fortress around the castle. At the main entrance of the castle, Maverick's mother was already waiting and they quickly approached her. Vanessa hugged Stacey who seemed to be still shaking from what happened. 

Vanessa looked up at Armin who bowed his head. 

"Let's go to your room." Vanessa held Stacey as they walked to the nearby bedroom that she set up so Stacey didn't need to keep walking for long. 

The room was wide and big enough for them with flowers and secret doors that she showed to Stacey just in case there were intruders. Stacey sat down and Vanessa gave her a glass of water. Then, Maverick stood behind the sofa as Vanessa sat down. 

"Mother, what the hell is going on?" He asked. 

"The Duke and Duchess's flight was moved earlier than expected. They were already plotting to assassinate the Etrama bloodline. Starting from the Crown Prince and Crown Princess." 

"But~But, are they alright?" Stacey asked, feeling a little nervous. "Victoria, she…" Stacey started jumping to another thought. 

"She's safe, dear. Kenzo and Victoria are safe. We already diverted the direction of those assassins. That's why they are after you and Mave." 

Maverick sighed. 

"Mother, how about Prince Aljur's ex-wife?" Maverick asked. "She was the one who brought her family into the Etrama family just to wipe them out." 

"Their family was the bloodline of the Gazen Empire. The mad Empire ruled the Great Greivania for over years before the Etrama took over. She's the bloodline. That assassin was also in their bloodline." Vanessa crossed her legs.. "I never expected them to show up."
