Chapter 18

❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 18) ❤️❤️




One- among the two men built like rock- walked steadily to where the young red-haired naked man was and stared at the face of the young girl floating at the surface of the water.

"Your highness, she is dead. We should cut her into pieces and feed you drag-"

"Silence Kando before I do that for you. Just because you and your brother have found favor in my eyes doesn't give you the right to tell me what I should do."

"I am sorry your highness," Kando apologized.

"Take her to Adaoh at once and tell her she must do everything to bring my precious back to life. I will come before she's done."

Kando nodded his head and carried Juno's cold , heavy body out of the water. Him and his brother left the cave.

Red eyes stare at the trembling servant before him who was now on his knees

"I was interrupted before I could even relax to bath and whose fault is that?"

"Mine your highness," the servant replied in a shaking voice.

"Then what should be your punishment?"

"Death your highness," he didn't get to finish his statement when the ground beneath him opened and he fell down, screaming. Two black Dragons with red eyes tore the servant into two and ate him. The ground closed.

Without wearing his clothes, he walked stark naked back to his room, no one- guards, servants- dare lifted up their faces when he passed them.

Wearing a tunic robe with loose trousers, he left his room.

"Get me another personal servant, the one with me has gone on a long journey." he told the four guards standing outside his room. Without waiting for their response, he left for Adaoh's residence.

Warlord Emera House:

Once Rumi was close to the house, she stopped and made the blood on her clothes removed magically. There was no trace of blood on her clothes. Speaking in a language and her eyes glowed in silver color. Juno appeared before her.

"Let's go," Rumi said.

Both girls walked inside the compound and saw Warlord Emera outside his house, pacing around with a worried look on his face.

"Where have you been since? I was told you girls went out early this morning so where did you go too?"

"None of your business old man," the fake Juno replied rudely and walked past Warlord Emera.

"I a-m so-rry for he-r be-hav-ior fa-th-er." Rumi pleaded on the fake Juno behalf.

"It's okay, where did you and Juno go too?"

"She wan-ted to str-oll arou-nd so s-he a-sk me to fol-low her whi-ch I di-d."

"Okay, I was worried because no guard followed you. I'm glad you guys are okay."

"Tha-nk you fa-ther," Rumi said smiling and going to hug Warlord Emera, something dark- like a smoke- went into him. "Wh-at of Sto-rm? Ha-s he le-ft?"

"He has my dear," Warlord Emera said. "I need to talk to Juno," he added and left Rumi outside.

He didn't know when he entered the room Juno was in. He saw her sitting on her bed.

"Juno, I don't like the way you talk back at me in front of others. I am your father and you are my daughter and I deserve some respect from you,"

"Respect you say? You slapped me in front of the Emperor and you still open that wide mouth of yours to tell me shit. Well Emera if not for one thing, I would have returned that slap you are just lucky that I was in a good mood yesterday if not ..." she left her words hanging in a threatening way using her left index finger to point at him. 

"Are you warning me young lady?" Warlord Emera asked in anger. For some unknown reason he couldn't control his anger.

"Yes I am warning you, what can you do stupid buffalo? Believing that street brat and their senseless servants over the words of your own daughter, foolish father."

Warlord Emera was blinded in anger and before he could get control of himself, he saw Juno on the floor with a deep cut in her stomach. She was not moving. At that moment the black smoke which had entered his body was seen leaving his body and vanishing.

Staring at his hands, he saw his sword dripping with the blood of his daughter. Dropping the sword immediately to the ground as if it burn him. He rushed to where Juno lay, she wasn't moving but was breathing slowly.. He carried her and ran out of the room shouting orders around him.

But it was too late, before the Healer would come and attend to her wounds. Juno gave up the ghost.

"I killed my own daughter," Warlord Emera whispered to himself when he was told Juno was more.
