?844 Lady Felicia's Fate (Part-2)

Lady Felicia's instant reply really made it apparent how much the woman was willing to sacrifice for power.

It was a level that even made the self professed ambitious Alexander twitch his lips a bit in incredulation.

So he could not help but add with a taunt, "Oh? Then what about an arm?"

"Of course! I do not mind!"

The answer that came instantly did not have even a shred of fear, as Lady Felicia then put up her left arm to say with clear, limpid eyes,

"Losing my right hand will make it hard for me to write and do my work, Lord Pasha. But I can sacrifice my left," She zealously chimed, further adding,

"If I can live the procedure, I'm even willing to give up both of my legs, my lord!"

The raw determination on display here made Alexander even now astounded, as the way the lady said it made it seem like it was really of very little concern to her like she would be perhaps getting her hair cut or something.

And Alexander was quite sure she was not bluffing.

This made him momentarily stunned as he found the real punishment he himself had thought of to be quite inadequate.

"... You do not need to lose your hand. I do not want Lapitus to turn hostile because I mutilated his wife," Until finally, massaging his globular a bit, Alexander forced this with an exasperated tone.

Snap.

And then instantly gave a signal with his finger causing a few nurses to appear from the other room.

"But you will lose a finger." He informed.

This, unsurprisingly, did not cause any commotion, as Lady Felicia appeared very calm, and even very expectant to this news, quickly bowing her head in deference, as she then voluntarily held out her left arm.

So Alexander only gave a gesture with his head for the nurses to begin.

Thus, like practice, one very burly nurse took out a large cleaver and positing it over the cut finger, she separated the lady's left ring finger at the second bone in one single strike.

*Thud!*

While Lady Felicia only gritted her teeth and groaned through her nose, but did not let out an octave of scream, for her mind was filled with gleeful lights.

And then ignoring her gushing finger while staining the heavy oak table a dark red, she turned to face Alexander and solemnly promised, "I am eternally thankful for your leniency my lord. I swear I will remember this lesson. I will never lie to you, by the gods!"

"......" Seeing her so easily brush off the pain, Alexander by now really had little more to say regarding her willpower and could only give an acknowledging nod.

Adding saying in a deep voice, "I will hold you on to that Felicia. You have lied to the gods once. There will be no salvation for you if there is to be a 'twice'.

"Those papers were a trap! The Pasha wanted to test us using it. He let me steal those."

It was a narrative that instantly made Lapitus shiver upon hearing it, while Lady Felicia continued,

"And he let me give them to you. And surely he had his eyes on you too! To see if you were really loyal to him."

"Fortunately you passed.Otherwise..." the trailing voice could easily let Lapitus finish the thought as there really was one end for traitors.

"You... you mean the Pasha knew everything all along? Everything?" Lapitus appeared astounded at this revelation, as Alexander's scheme made the straight laced man shiver and his incredulation peaked at Lady Felicia's nod of confirmation.

"He did not punish you because you did not send the message and converted. Or else I would be a widow" The fair lady slightly joked, before showing her bandaged finger "But this is my punishment for stealing. Fortunately, I was only struck by a dull knife, so the finger severed," Lady Felicia embellished the truth.

But even this reduced wound made Lapitus's heart bleed upon seeing his wife's injured digit, and a low flame of dissatisfaction and anger ignited itself in his mind.

How could he serve a lord that had hurt his beloved?

How was he any better than Petrino?

'Did I switch chains from one cruel master to another?' Thus Lapitus momentarily appeared a bit disillusioned.

And subtly sensing this. Lady Felicia quickly and pointedly asked with a bit of alarm in her voice, "You are not thinking of revenge, are you? You idiot!"

"......" Lapitus gave no answer to the shout, neither a yes or no, which was pretty indicative that he was indeed thinking about it.

This then prompted Lady Felicia to point at the man and almost scream,

"Listen Lapitus! We finally got the city! After so long. After so many sacrifices! We finally got it. I have the papers making us governors of the city!"

"Do not screw it up for me! Do not try to be a hero and take any revenge. Not even the tiniest bit."

"As a matter of fact, remove even the tiniest bit of such a thought from your head." The mature lady's voice was forceful and didactic, grandly declaring,

"Whatever the Pasha did, we deserved. I do not hold the slightest bitterness."

Following this the lady then fiercely grabbed Lapitus by the arms to urge,

"Swear to me Lapitus! Swear to me by the gods that you will not do anything stupid."

"The Pasha will soon be leaving for the capital, and we will become like kings and queens inside this city."

"To get all that for only a small cut on my finger is more than worth it! It is a thousand times worth it."

"Do not do anything to jeopardize that."

Let us say no to piracy! Don't take part in a crime! Don't patronize thieves!
