Chapter 286: Villains get the second chance

Marianne pov contd.

I looked back and sighed, it was clear that all the rest of the questions would stay unanswered now as the battle had started. I continued walking and Cassius followed me with his back towards me, attacking the targets that were coming close to us.

While I was attacking the one that was in front or side.

I had never thought that we could be such a good pair when it comes to fighting. I had thought that we were going to spend this whole life fighting each other.

"Pay attention, there. Why are you looking at me all this time?" he scolded and I narrowed my eyes. I was sure I had just looked at him for the first time to check his condition. 

He was becoming more and more reading and bold these days.

Since we were in the open area it did not take us long to reach the door, but surprisingly, except for the two regular guards, there were not many people around. I was expecting a large amount of warriors to be collected there.

"They would not go out through the door, it would be equal to telling others the passage to come in, they would rather climb and jump to keep their loved ones safe even if it breaks a few limbs of theirs." he said, shaking his head and I peeled my lips.

"What are you doing here?" asked the guards, getting alerted.

"Starting a rebellion against your narrow minds." I replied with a smirk and then stabbed a fork in his hand, surprising him.

"See, I have told you these are beneficial." I replied to Cassius who was attacking another guard at the moment.

It was easy to fight because I think all the warriors were already at the other side of the wall, fighting and killing the knights, so there were not many who could stop us.

"What are you waiting for, open the door or i will kill him." he said to the other guard, whom i had stabbed with a fork and he looked at us grumpily.

"Then kill him, I would not betray my clan just to protect one mate." he said proudly and all the nerves of Cassius's head popped up.

"Marianne, would you be able to open the door with one hand?" he asked and I shook my head.

The door was a large iron one and it needed a lot of strength to open it. With two hands it was even possible with difficulty but with one hand it was impossible.

He sighed as he used his hand to hit the neck of the guard, but the card kept staring. As if he was not at all affected. He was in case control just because of the sword he had kept on his neck.

"Then handle the sword well, I will go and open the door." he said as he slowly moved both of the guards to one side and then handed me the sword.

I locked both men under the sword while he ran towards the door and tried to open it with full force.

"Don't you try to move." I was sad as the man moved and I pushed the sword a bit creating a small scar on his neck. He gritted his teeth as he looked at me with anger.

"You are not going to get away with this. We are surely going to capture you again and then we will teach you a lesson." he said, gritting his teeth.

"We are not running away. We are liberating you, you dimwit" i repeated and Cassius chuckled as the pull slowly opened it.

He came back and took the sword from my hand.

"Now run, and stop the battle. I will handle them." he said and i looked back. All the other warriors were about to reach us too, since we had stopped throwing the dagger back.

"But what about you?" I asked as I estimated there were more than 30 men.

"Why, are you worried about me? my wife?" he asked with a chuckle aw if he was not at all worried.

"Tsk tsk.. Dream on..'' I mumbled, and gave one last look to the people. Then I ran towards the door.

When I walked out I could hear the voices clashing but they were not nearby. I ran towards the voice and it took me twenty minutes to reach there. They were almost 5km away from the area. Cassius was right, they were climbing down the wall to keep the knights away from the entrance.

"Jamie, are you okay?" i shouted as i looked at his injured body. He was having multiple wounds and most of his comrades were already on the ground badly injured, only he, Steve and Roselia we're still fighting but so as the people of the clan, more than 30 were already on the ground.

The place was in chaos, everyone trying to hurt and kill the other.  Only yesterday they were chatting happily with us.

"Everyone just stopped. '``I shouted but no one was listening, they were all busy in their battle.

"Mari, are you here?" asked Roselia but she didn't dare to turn and look. Many were already around her.

"I am Roselia, stop fighting.'' I shouted but she shook her head.

"We can not. They are attacking us from all sides." she replied in a strained voice.

"Can you join and help us?" she asked as she was badly outnumbered.

"No, this fight has to be stopped, Roselia." I shouted as she took the spear in her hand.

"I want that too, but how?" she asked as she was having trouble speaking further and i bit my lip, even i did not know how to do so.. But Jamie, Roselia and Cassius, all of their lives were at stake because of me.

I walked and stood in front of the leader who had come to our room before and stood in front of him. He was about to move his dagger thinking it was another knight but stopped when his eyes met mine.
