Cooperate

Lyon is not someplace we could get to quickly,It's a long distance and to think of us passing through the water, it's freaking dangerous.

What,we are passing through a river, Roland how are we gonna get a boat.

Come on Jessie ,its a river occupied with fishers of men,so you don't have to worry, let's just focus on driving there safely.

I just hope Evelyn mom should be there,I really don't want to believe that Evelyn has been spying on us all this while.

Roland whatever the case maybe, rest assured that it's not your fault okay.

Staring at Roland face, Jessie gave him a pat on the back, 

~~~~~~~~~

Richard tried to open his eyes as he wince in pain, getting up he looked around to see where he was.

Relax, you still need enough rest,a voice echoed.

Looking round he saw a huge man having the aura of a guard.

Who are you, Richard asked.

Isn't that a little bit rude for someone who saved your life.

Well,I'm Gabriel, Gaby for short and I'm the royal guard commander to the king

Earlier I heard a stranger almost choked the king to death,so I guess you're the stranger.

You should be grateful to me Richard, you could've been beaten half dead.

What, Richard gasp , how did you know my name and I don't care whoever you're, just back off, Richard replied trying to stand on his feet.

Okay, relax Richard, Gabriel said walking closer to Richard.

So I guess you're the guy the king has been hell bent on finding.

Hmmmm, clicking his tongue Gabriel extended an apple to him.

Those guards were almost closed to killing you, Gabriel continued.

Gaby or whatever you call yourself, there's something I hate doing, and that is repeating myself, please leave while I'm still being nice.

Fine I'll take my leave now, but trust me soon you'll be needing me.

Hey don't forget to take this with you, Richard replied throwing back the apple to Gabriel .

Alright Bye for now Arnaud Richard, Gabriel said in creepy voice giving out a slight chuckle before walking out.

What, what the hell is this guy talking about, that is my father's name,

How the hell did he know my dad's name.

Wincing in pain Richard hurriedly tried to stand to catch up with Gabriel but the chains held him back.

Who the hell is this Gabriel,he appears to know more about me.,, Richard thought.

Oh I see you're awake another voice echoed.

Turning to the direction of the voice, King jasper walked slowly towards him giving out a smirk.

We have a lot to talk about Richard, first let's get you at from this mess.

Suddenly some maids walked in smiling seductively.

At Your Service My Lord, the maids said walking closer to him.

Looking at the maids and king jasper in disdain, Richard looked away.

Jasper what I need right now is a conversation with you take these whores away from me,

Come on Richard relax, won't you be needing energy to talk,I know you like what you see huh.

Come on ladies, make sure you cheer him up, immediately the maids surrounded Richard caressing him tenderly.

Jasper, don't let me repeat myself, take these things away from me noww.

Letting out a heavy sigh, king jasper signaled with his hands and the maids hurriedly left the room.

I see you're at of your senses jasper, tell me why are holding me captive.

Letting a deep sinister laugh , king jasper gazed at Richard deeply before walking closer to him.

Getting closer to Richard,his fingers trailed down to his neck before grabbing it angrily.

This is a little punishment for your crimes he said whispering softly in his ears.

Richard breath was unsteady trying to catch his breath.

After a few minutes he let go of him.

Richard fell face down helplessly still tied.

Raising up his head slowly,he stared at king jasper with his weak eyes.

You psycho, Richard managed to say.

Now I'll need you to cooperate if you want to get out of here alive.

What do you want from me jasper.

Hmmm, that reminds me I have a daughter,I can use her if you don't mind.

Shut up and keep her far away from your thoughts.

Don't you dare touch a strand on her hair Richard replied angrily.

Whoa, look who's getting angry,king jasper said giving out a slight chuckle.

Fine then, cooperate.

Just say what you want, jasper you're driving me nuts.

Your father once ruled right,I need your help.

Giving out a smirk ,Richard eyes freezed on him.
