Poisonous trip (Part - 3)

Outside of the Riya Inn:

Large trees covering the other end of the roadway. In that vast forest, stood a Sniper on the tree branch which was exactly opposite to the window of the second floor. His eyes on the scope and hands on trigger.

Inside of the Inn:

Theo stepped toward him with her lids raised. Boss Zisu was standing near the window.

He gasped and put on a forceful smile, "Indeed! Young master have grown healthy after getting a relapse".

He himself was far away to understand his own words coming out in a haste. He tried to step back, but the gun pointed behind him, stopped him.

"Young master, please have mercy! This things have nothing to do with us," he said in a pleading manner.

Theo chuckled, "Mercy! But for what reason are you asking me for that? Wasn't it me who was mentally disabled and ate something by my own, so why are you pleading me?".

As soon as she went near the window, she stepped back. Her sensitivity ear heard the weird sound coming from outside, and she glared him.

"Did you put someone else to kill me?" she asked.

Since it was only her, who heard it, everyone became confused by her words.

"What are you saying, Theo?" Jasper asked as he stepped forward and stood near the window.

Her eyebrows furrowed and eyes staring him, while she was dazing off, "Should I let him die?" she thought, "it will be better for me, if he dies here, but the Castillo's will be in trouble. Huh! Forget it, I will think of it as repenting for my sins and help him even though I believe that if a tyrant like him dies, my sins will repent more quickly" .

She sighed and glanced at Boss Zisu who was having a confused face after hearing her words.

"Step back, Jasper!" she said calmly.

He stared her while being baffled, but at the same time he was amused by hearing his name from her mouth that came naturally.

"I don't want to!" he said childishly and waited for her next movement.

She looked away so as to control her temper and grabbed his collar. Suddenly she pulled him over and loosened her grip while staring away, "Be happy that I helped you out, or if not for your father, I would have been the first to kill you!" she thought and left his collar.

As soon as she pulled him, he become stunned, his eyes wide open and staring at her aloof face. She left his collar after he stood behind her while having an amused smirk.

"What? Don't tell me that you enjoy grabbing my collars!" he said while having a mocking smile and pointed his gun on Boss Zisu.

"You must have thought, that if he dies, no one will question you, isn't it right?" he said and suddenly changed his expressions.

Looking at his fiery gaze, Boss Zisu felt shivery.

It was as if his leg was losing all its strength and he said while gathering all his courage, "When I am talking with Young master, why a driver like you is meddling between?".

Hearing his insulting words, Gird gritted. Others stared at each other while gasping from fear. Everyone was having only one thought, "He is going to die soon!".

Theo was having a different expression, unlike others, she was giggling after hearing those words and she mocked him while turning her gaze toward him, "He is calling you a driver!".

He leaned a little and said while looking in her eyes, "I guess you are happy by his words, then I should let him go for once".

Her unwavering eyes were looking at his and suddenly she looked away and slapped his hand down which was pointing the gun.

A bullet passed through there, were Jasper hand was holding the gun. Just by a second, his hand got saved.

Boss Zisu kneeled down while hiding his head, while the guards hid near the wall and peaked outside.

Jasper stared her, he was quite surprised by her quick movements and grasp which even left him behind in talent.

"So, you were trying to save me, when you said to step back!" he said and chuckled.

Theo rolled her eyes and glared at Boss Zisu, "Quickly tell me, who is behind this incident or I will rip your body into pieces?".

His head was lying low and he peeked at her as she questioned him, "Young master, young mater.. please believe, I have nothing to do with this incident! I am just a lowly Inn keeper, who works here to earn a living, please show mercy to me".

Theo smirked annoyingly and glared him intimidatingly, "Since you want to die, I will fulfill that wish of yours".

He quickly stood up while panicking, and stutteringly, he said, "I ..I wi.. will tell you eve..".

Before he could finish his words, he was shot down by the sniper, who was still hiding there.

Nanny Ai panicked and grabbed Theo's arms tightly while looking down.

"Mike, take Nanny Ai back to her room," said Theo and glanced at Jasper.

She was staring him with her suspicious eyes and finally, she asked, "Are you immune to poisons?".

She simply asked it because, beside her, he also ate from her bowl. He shrugged his shoulder with a smile, "It is our little secret," he whispered.

She gave him a foolish look and while shaking her head stiffly, she turned back, "What's there to be even called as a secret?" she mumbled and said, "I am going back to have a rest".

The next day, it was very peaceful as she woke up, but for her ears, it was still loud. Sounds of people whispering, watering and many other things were disturbing her and she stood near the window.

Nanny Ai knocked on the door and entered inside, "Everyone is ready to leave, you should freshen up, too".

She yawned and stretched her arms as she looked at Nanny Ai. "Everyone is ready! Why didn't you woke me up earlier," she said.

Nanny Ai shook her head, "His highness ordered that until you feel better, there is no need to leave in a hurry".

Theo pressed her lips and twisted her eyebrows while thinking of her words which was showing concern for her. Her thoughts again changed as she saw Nanny Ai eyes, which was filled with tons of question.

Theo understood that Nanny Ai was confused because of her pulse which showed that her poison was already suppressed before taking an antidote. She took a deep breath and ignored her eyes, since she doesn't wanted to face those questions, still, she was thankful that Nanny Ai pretended to inject her so that others can't question her.

"Young master, how about you take a hot spring bath, it will help you suppress the fatigue and remaining pain in your body," she said.

Theo gave it a thought and said, "But its summer, right? Who will take a hot spring bath?".

"Even though its summer, the atmosphere in the middle of the forest is quite cool, so you can relax there, and you don't have to worry, no one will go near the hot spring without my permission and I will guard you from outside," she said.

Theo nodded and while wearing a bath robe, she walked there.

Upon opening the door, there was a big hall with hot water filled inside and small rocks covering it sides to give it a natural look. It was covered with walls from four sides but no roof. Little plants were blooming on the side and the clear sky was resembling the spring beneath it.

"Are you sure no one will come!" she asked.

Nanny Ai nodded and brooded her eyes all over the place.

"Young master, you should soak yourself, I will be guarding outside".

Theo slightly shook her head and looked at her, "What about the owner of this Inn keeper, is he here yet?".

Nanny Ai glanced at the water and roamed her eyes a little away from Theo, "You should focus on recuperating cause the owner will directly be facing his majesty rather then coming here, and it is the order of his majesty".

"Then this information must have reached his ear," she muttered and nodded.

Slowly she took off the robe and walked inside the warm water. Strangely it felt soothing and she soaked her whole body inside it. Playing with the water, swam from one corner to another.

"Hmm.. it's been a while since I felt like this!" she mumbled and closed her eyes, but it didn't lasted long cause she heard some loud steps jumping on the wall.

She quickly wore her robe, but her breast could still be recognized, so she dipped inside the water but kept her head out, since it will be too late if she tried to call her Nanny.

Soon, Jasper jumped down while wearing a white bath robe.

She frowned and mumbled, "How can I have a peaceful day in his presence! It is definitely impossible".

He chuckled as he saw her hiding her whole body inside the spring water, "Its not like you are a woman, so why are you wearing your bathrobe while lying inside the water".

She rolled her eyes and glanced away as he started to strip. That was the first time, Theo saw his muscular body. It was crazily palpating and seductive. Only his lower part was covered by a small towel and he glanced at her with a smile.

She gulped, her heart beat increased as if she was riding a rollercoaster and she looked down while feeling shy. Even in the water, she could she his image of muscular triceps and she completely shut her eyes.

"What am I doing right now? It must be because I have stayed single for a long time and my mind have stopped working. Kill that seductive heartless brat!" she mumbled and finally opened her eyes.

Looking at his eyes without letting her eyes run violent on his sexy body, she yelled, "Stop there! Don't come inside and go away, since it's my turn to take a bath".

He chuckled and sat while soaking his body, "Such a big spring pool, you are not acting too high just to use it alone, right? And what are you afraid off?".

She gritted her teeth and glanced back at the door. Her mind was calculating as to, how much seconds will it take to run toward the door since there was no way that he would leave the place just because she asked him, too.

"If Nanny Ai finds it, then she will enter inside and might get into trouble, so I have to escape in a way that he don't feel suspicious," she thought and with her fingers, she brushed through her hair bang and pressed her lips.

"Why aren't you answering me? Don't you fear me anymore?" he said, his expression depressed as if a child have lost its candy.

She gasped and said, "Your actions makes me feel as if you are a gay!".

Her tongue slipped as she saw his puppy face and as she realized that she have ruined it with her jinx mouth, she looked away hesitantly, so as to avoid his eyes.

At first he was shocked by her words, then he smirked while staring at the water. Slowly he went near her. She backed off with the same speed as he used to come toward her, but stopped after reaching the dead end.

Before she could turn away, he blocked her by placing his hands on the pebbles placed in the corners. Both sides were now blocked by him, while he himself was in front of her and said, "A gay! I don't mind becoming one!".
