Chapter 58: In your dream
Whoever is at the door knocking wants to give Xena blood pressure. She leaned to the wall, shivering and startled, as she stood there at the back of the door, looking dumb.
The nervousness was expressed on her facial looked, and Jericho could read her expression, then Jericho dressed up, to answer the person knocking himself, after seeing how Xena looks like a scared kitten, a smile broke out on his lips.
Though Xena was nervous, but she wondered what made hardened Jericho smile at her, there is no difference between Malik and Jericho, they are two cold people, moreover, they were siblings, and it looked as if it runs in their blood.
Getting to the door, Jericho signaled to Xena, to hide in a corner behind the door, which she did. And Jericho opened the door revealing Evans.
“My lord, the king said, I should inform you, the night banquet will start soon, and he’s expecting you”, Evans delivered the message and left without delay.
Closing the door back, Jericho looked at nervous Xena,” He has gone back”, Jericho murmured, he felt like teasing Xena, but he thought she is not comfortable with him yet, so he changed his expression back to his normal cold face.
Xena sighed deeply before coming out from hiding. She wanted to leave instantly, but Jericho hindered her. He moved his lips closer to her, wanting to taste her lips once again before leaving. He couldn’t get enough of her, but Xena pushed him away.
“In your dream”, Xena said angrily and walked away.
“You would still come for this”, Jericho said looking at his rod, still wanting to touch Xena once more. With his hands, he rubbed his rod, calming it down.
Afterward, he walked into the bathroom to have his bath before going to the night banquets, where Aurora would strip for king Malik’s visitors from the neighboring villages.
His thought was how to use today for his benefit, he plans to hijack his brother’s throne and make Xena his woman even though she is not interested in him now, but he believes she will soon. But he doesn’t want anyone to destroy his plans, which made Aurora his target.
Aurora knew about his relationship with Xena, which means there is a fire on the mountain, and the only thing to do is to remove the fire, and the enemy is Aurora. The thought was running on in his mind.
After he finished bathing, he walked into the room and put on his royal clothes, using the best rope inside his closet to tie the rope.
He had the best fabrics inside the closest, since he is in charge of their community trading, he took the best fabrics before he released the remaining ones.

Getting to the room, Xena met her friend, Jeanne, with a worried expression on her face, she was walking up and down the room, unable for her to notice Xena’s presence until she touched her shoulder.
“Where have you been? Have you been worried?”, Jeanne yelled at her friend.
Forgetting she’s royal, she made Shastina go and looked for her in the maid’s chamber, thinking she would be there, “Why are you yelling? I was in the garden, at the backside enjoying the cool breeze”, Xena said.
“Oh! I never know”, Jeanne and she feel relaxed instantly.
“Get me hot water”, Xena said.
As the word came out of her mouth, Jeanne stared at her intently, like she was searching for something.
” What is it?”, Xena asked.
“I thought you said you were coming from the garden”, Jeanne asked in a soft tone.
“Yes, is there something wrong with it?”, Xena responded, insecurity showing on her face immediately.
“Did the king torture your honey pot in the garden, ’cause I don’t get it? cause you only asked for hot water whenever the king dug your pussy”, she said, and a frowned expression showed on Xena’s face.
“When did you become my parents? she said in an impolite manner, though after some minutes she felt wronged for speaking to her friend, even though Jeanne had brought the hot water for her, then she asked her to go and stayed in her room. Because she is not ready to stay in the same room with her.
Though she enjoyed the sex with Jericho, she was feeling down, cause she felt like a betrayal to the king and a cheap slut.
Ever since she has become the king’s concubine, she has vowed to leave a decent life for the king and the heir she will give birth to for him. She wants them both to be proud of her. But everything scattered the day Jericho forcefully laid with her.
But today she gave her body freely for Jericho to touch, and she couldn’t deny that she enjoyed the sex she had with Jericho, more than the one she has been having with the king.
Despite everything, her feelings still belong to the king, but she was confused right now. She thinks the way to calm herself down is by releasing the guilt in her mind, so she passed her aggression on to people.
Killing Aurora is the first step for her secret to be buried, but right now her thought was how to kill Jericho after Aurora’s death, cause that is the only way she thought she will have a clear conscience, in relation to the king.
Where she lay, she was calculating how to make everything happen.
*********
A senior maid dedicated to training the maids on how to please the king in diverse ways, including stripping, was in a room teaching Aurora how to move her body around the stripping pole.
.
Since the king is holding tonight’s party for the leaders of the neighboring villages. Many find it hard to believe that the king is hosting them just to celebrate his new marriage, cause he is not the type of King.
People believe the king has an ulterior motive, while Aurora believes he did it just to punish her. She wondered why he wanted to disgrace her in public.
But tonight she would be going in front of the community leaders, King, etc, dancing as a stripper. Her mission is to arouse the sexual desire of men tonight.
“Make them lust after her”, that is the command the king gave to her, and the king would be there to watch likewise.
Knowing the king would be present to watch Aurora, blend her heart the more, she didn’t want him to see her as a dirty person. She didn’t expect love from the king, still, she wanted to protect her dignity in his presence.
