Xena demands your presence
She wondered, who was trailing after her, she couldn’t afford to be disclosed; it seemed the person was after her identity, she halted, waiting to see if the person will continue to walk towards her, just as she anticipated, the person stopped from taking her next step too. She must find a way out of this.
“She can’t be exposed
Her eyes traveled around, hoping to find an escape route from the tight situation right now, Malik won’t hesitate to butcher her head, If he finds out her fake identity.
Aurora imagined the look Malik will have on his face and finding out about it, it sent shivers to Aurora’s core.
“Gosh, I need to find a way out of this,” she mumbled inwardly, she stood still, wanting ideas to pop into her mind. Additionally, Morena advised ranged in her head, echoing.
‘Maybe one of the king’s wives is the one trailing after me’, Malik mustn’t know she was the one pretending to be the mask girl, he won’t hesitate to bring her head down.
Her heart shuddered with fear, slightly, tilted her head backward wanting to see the person’s face. She wanted to be sure of who she was against, possibly the queen, but she was unable to discover the face. The fellow used a face cap.
“What will I do?” She ran her hand over her head, does she have to do this? One of the tricks she had refrained from using, someone almond died the last time she used it, and the person couldn’t regain viciousness in time.
She decided to walk towards the veranda since the person was after her identity, she walked hurriedly-increasing her striding speed, she wanted to make the trailer lose track of her steps.
“Why is she walking faster?” she must have discovered me, Jeanne mumbled. She couldn’t walk as fast as her, she started running after her, when the gap between them became wider as she carried each step, she couldn’t afford to lose her, she had plans.
And Xena giving birth to the king’s heir will make Jeanne achieve her purpose in the palace, this is her chance to bring the king back to her friend, she wants to marry an elite and only Xena can make it happen if the king is happy with her friend.
She was deep in thought as she ran after Aurora, reaching the Veranda makes her consciousness surface, but she had lost the track of the masked girl.
Anger boiled in her, seeing no traces of the masked girl, she clenched her fist, “Damn it,” she grumbled with gritted teeth, her eyes moving up and down hoping to sight her track.
Before she realized the masked girl was hiding behind her back, an uppercut landed on her neck, and she fell into a thumb and lost consciousness.
Aurora came out from where she lied low, she removed her face mask, and bent down to check her purse. She sighed as she confirmed she was still breathing, she had a lingering qualm in her mind.
Though she didn’t want her to suspect the maid’s quarter when she wakes up because the veranda only leads to the maid’s quarters, if she wakes up and meets herself on the Veranda, she will suspect the maids, it will bring anguish and suffering to the maids, so Aurora removed the face cap wanting to confirm the fellow.
She gasped seeing Jeanne’s face, concubine Xena’s best friend.
“What?”
Aurora looked startled, knowing it was Jeanne, “Xena won’t stop until she discovers the masked girl”, Aurora thought as she bent down and carried Jeanne on her shoulder, wanting to manipulate things before tomorrow morning. She mustn’t wake up and meet herself on the Veranda leading to the maid’s quarter only.
Then she carried her and took her to another Veranda leading to the field where she hides. She dropped her carefully on the ground, inhaled, and exhaled, trying to catch her breathing. Jeanne weighed more than she looked, Aurora looked at her once more and kicked her with her leg.
“Ouch,” The tip of one of her toes mistakenly brushed the ground, and blood came out of it, then she bent down and removed the flesh that peeled from the toe.
“How dare you? You made me perform one of my tricks today,” she grumbled and left angrily to her abode. Entering the maid’s quarters, she met Shasta reading. She wanted to ask her a question, as the question was about to come out of her throat, but suddenly, it got stuck in between her throat. She went to lay on the small mat available for the maids to sleep on.
Furthermore, she didn’t show it in her expression, but she was worrying about Aurora, for being in this position, maybe she shouldn’t since they are all in the same predicament, but she does. Aurora was born royal, while she was born as a maid.
“Where are you coming from?, I hope you haven’t put the maids into problems with your stupidity,” Shastina said, wanting to make Aurora get angry, sometimes she seemed crazy to herself, whom she wanted to protect is the same person she derived pleasure in criticizing her.
Aurora wanted to reply, but she couldn’t find the right word to use, still, she were unable to incorporate her disrespectful manners anymore, she wanted to put her in place, “it seems you have to forget, a word from my lips can get you to kill, my father is looking for you, while Alpha Malik is looking for his father murderer. Don’t make me lose my patience,” Aurora said in her usual cold voice, her eyes looked dark, her eyes filled with darkness, it had been a long she felt this way, moreover, this is what Shastina wanted, she had plans, but she wanted to confirm if the merciless Aurora is still available.
“I remain, princess Aurora, even if I’m here as a maid,” sharing angrily, she felt like killing sharing on that spot, but she calmed herself down, she considered she must be afraid of death too.
Shastina didn’t utter any word off, suddenly around 5:00 am the door of the maids of the quarter slammed open, and Xena’s maids came in, she announced that Xena demanded the presence of the maids in the quarter in her chamber.
A murmur aroused as the message was dispatched, where Aurora hid, her heartbeat raced up drastically.
“Hope I haven’t put the maids into trouble,” there is panic in the hearts of everyone, the last time this happened, some maids were killed.
