“I cannot have him disrespecting me.” He turned his eyes back to Kent. “If we were in my estate, I would burn you alive for your disobedience.” He hissed.
“If you touch her again, I will fucking kill you.” Kent said, and everything around me slowed down.
I watched the scene unfolding in front of me in slow motion. Kent took a step forward with a wild, menacing look in his eyes, and Lord Dayton stepped back, almost cowering.
“Kent! Lieutenant’s looking for you. I’m going to take it from here.”
The new voice belonged to a female guard in a dark blue leather suit, her two thick, light blond braids catching the light. The stubborn way she nudged Kent on the shoulder broke my stupor. The tension in the air immediately went away when Kent, after giving her a frown, was forced to walk away.
“That bastard. Who does he think he is?” Lord Dayton was still fuming.
“He’s uneasy after the attack,” I tried my best to soften the tone of my voice.
“Those rebels. Someone has to deal with all the unrest.This can’t end well,” he muttered as we continued our walk followed by my new female guard.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
TYNAN
Ipaced by Alina’s door too angry with myself and Frid. At last, a figure in a light dress appeared in the hall, followed by a girl in a blue flying suit.
“Thank you for your help.” Alina turned to Frid.
Frid only nodded, continuing her walk.
Another moment, and one more figure joined the two of them. The older woman that was responsible for Alina had wide, bulging, almost fish-like eyes. The smile plastered to her face looked as if it had been glued on.
“My child, how did you like your walk? No doubt, when you see more of Lord Dayton, you will understand how great he is.” She spoke to Alina as if she was an infant.
“Yes, definitely,” Alina replied.
I caught a gagging gesture from Frid in the background.
The old hag continued talking to Alina, before ushering her inside the room and closing the door behind them.
I shifted my gaze back to Frid.
“What in the hell?”
“What? I showed up just in time. Didn’t I?”
“What are you doing here?”
“Ty, come on. You can’t really expect us to just sit in that apartment day after day.”
“What do you mean ‘us’? Is Victor and Sol here too?”
“Well, yeah.”
“Where are they?” I rubbed the back of my neck.
“I believe they went to check the buffet.”
“The buffet?”
“She’s pretty. I get it now.”
“Where did you get the suits?”
