Chapter 42 - Chapter XLII

'Boss we brought the goods!' The man named Marco said as they aproached another masked man at a corner. It is like a back stage as the entrance was just in front of this area as well.

The masked man beeing called as boss suddenly stood up from his leisurely sitting position. He move to examine the pregnant woman, on the other hand, the pregnant woman was already feeling very frightened by what's about to befall her. If she earlier wasn't stupid enough to just follow a strange staff of the castle, if she heed her uncle's warning not to get out of the castle or to even trust just anyone yet, she would not have face this seemed like unavoidable tragedy.

Tears stream down her exquisite face as she helplessly look at her protruding stomache. Her eyes widened when she saw a body of a person being carried by men on a stretchera. The body was mutilated to the extent of it being hard for her to be distinguish if it's a he or a she. The woman was about to throw up when the masked man held her by the hair. 'If I were you, I wouldn't dare.' The masked man warned her not to throw up on the place. The woman who was terrified unknowingly pushed down back the stuff she was about to puke out. She was wildly trembling in fear. She couldn't even move a step on her own as she's still being held tightly by the two men on each side.

The crowd was still continously cheering wildly making the mask man irritated by the noise. After all, he prefers the silence of his own company. The masked man held the woman by her chin and stared directly in her eyes. Blue eyes. The colour of the eyes the woman would never ever forget from that day onward. 'You're too beautiful for this.' He clicked his tongue and continued, 'But unfortunately, you have offended someone back in Country P and also I was once offended by your uncle. Consider this as your misfortune.' The man grinned, revealing the gap between his upper front teeth. 'Bring her to the cowd! Let's start another show!' He clapped three times.

The woman who was hit by the realization was dumbfounded and it's already late for her to move, although her little efforts to break away is proven pointless as the crowd seeing a pregnant woman beeing carried of to the stage started to jump, whistle and cheer joyfully.The woman's cries of 'Let me go!' was swallowed by the crowd's loud cheers of, 'Another. Show! Another. Show!'

The woman was brought in the center stage and her efforts to get away was futile from the strong gripped of the two men. Suddenly the light of the stage went off once again and in that amount of darkness, a small table was brought in the stage and the woman was laid down and shackled on that same table.

Both her arms and foot were shackled by chains too tightly that she couldn't even move her body. Her legs were spread apart. Simultaneously, as the stage's light was turned on, another man who wears a hideous mask cut through the dress she was wearing leaving her bare with just her maternity brassiere and underwear. The audience whistled and cheered once more, this time, the wildest that they could ever be.

The man wearing an over all who was obviously the host went to the stage. With an energized and lively voice he talked to the crowd, 'Another show?!'

'Another. Show! Another Show!' The crowd's madly replied without even acting surprised or taking any sense that there's a pregnant woman strapped naked in the middle of the stage.

'You want it!?' The host yet asked once again heightening and increasing the expectation and excitement of the wild crowd.

'Want! Want! Want!' The crowd chanted.

This crazy chants continued for another minute when the host raised his left hand silencing them. Once the host achieved ofb his desire of total silence and focus, he said.

'You want it???!!! We.!!! Will.!!! Give.!!! It!!!'

Right there a naked man with a rabbit mask entered the stage. And his was eyeing the chainedh pregnant woman in the middle of the table. On the other hand, the woman who was already weak from crying and shouting break free was lying helplessly with full of regrets and terror. She's in the state of a mental break down and only her sobs and silent tears could be heard as the crazy crowd earlier was strangely, very silent and focuses all their attention on the chained prenant woman on the table.

As the rabbit masked man approached the woman, without further ado, with a sharp scythe, he cut through the woman's underwear. The surrendered woman closed her eyes as her remaining clothes was torn apart leaving her totally naked.

No cheers. No reaction. The mad crowd from earlier maintained their silence all through out.

The rabbit masked man positioned himself in front of the heavily pregnant woman and just as he was about to insert his rod at the core of the woman, suddenly, he slumped down. Blood oozes out from his forehead. The silent crowd cheered thinking it was part of the show but when all the men in the stage each fell down including the host man, the crowd realized something is wrong. But before they could move to escape, armed men started to pour inside the underground stage securing the area as 10 armed men went straight to the crowd. 'Veronica!' The man leading the armed men shouted with extreme worry. With a very quick speed, approached the chained woman but no reaction was received from her. 'Veronica!' The middle aged man once again called as his men successfully freed the woman from the chains as one man draped a red wide blanket all over her naked body. 'Veronica!! This is me, your uncle Bien!! Veronica!'

Uncle Bien kept on shaking the woman's shoulders but still no reaction. 'Quick, clear the path!' Uncle Bien demanded on his man as he carefully covered his niece's naked body and carried her to safety.

Veronica was brought to an armored vehicle where her uncle Bien's force' private medic were already waiting. One of the doctor in a calm but serious manner suddenly said on Bien sitting on the front seat, 'Boss we need to hurry, young madam is bleeding.'

'Noooooo! Not my babies!' The said woman who was not responding earlier suddenly jerked and loudly cried. She was acting crazy now as she pushed the medic team who were trying to get hold of her. After a while, she slowly lost all her strength when she already felt the essence of the tranquilizer injected to her.

'You heard it.' Bien told the driver in a grave tone with a look of anger in his eyes.
