Chapter 8: I'm Doomed!!

_still at the prison yard_ 

 Loud cries could be heard in the yard from different angles as they were all being whipped, most of them already had scars on their back while some had blood oozing out of their backs but the guards didn't stop. Cronos kept looking around the place and all he could see were people crying in anguish, 'I'm done for' Cronos thought to himself aloud unknowingly and the guards heard him, 'Oh yes you are, maybe this might teach you never to mess with any of the king's children or his loved ones' one of the guards who were with them replied to him calmly but his voice was cold and commanding, he replied him with a wicked grin on his face which sent cold chills down Cronos's spine, and the guard walked away leading them to where Cronos was to be dealt with when Cronos heard his reply, he knew he had said his thoughts out loud.

'Agh, agh!!' loud cries can be heard coming from Cronos, the pain was just too much for him to bear, as the guards continued whipping him, Cronos looked around to see the guards smiling while punishing their offenders, 'what kind of person enjoys torturing his enemies' he said to them, 'this kind of person' Lucius said as he entered the room with an evil grin on his face, the aura in the room changed once his presence was sensed, he went straight to where Cronos was, 'that's it, I'm done for' Cronos thought to himself out loud again unknowingly to him, the guards and king had a wide grin on their faces, 'oh yes you are' Lucian replied while grinning from ear to ear only then did Cronos know that he had said his thoughts out loud, 'funny enough, this is the second time you're informing us of your misfortune' the guard who replied Cronos earlier said to him with a sense of mockery in his tone. 

The name of the guard who replied Cronos is Dargan, he is tall, has a fair skin color, has eyes green like nature, just like the meaning of his name, he has hair as black as ebony, is a very adept swordsman and had the power of telepathy. 

Crack!! Crack!!, agh! agh! is what could be heard as Lucius mercilessly landed the whip on Cronos's back, blood can be seen rushing out of his back but Lucius and his men couldn't help but care less, they were having fun dealing with him. 'When will he send a spy to get me out of here' Cronos thought to himself as he was being mercilessly dealt with. After what seemed like forever, he was done with his punishment, a hundred strokes of the whip but Lucius wasn't going to let him have his cake, so he gave him a hundred more and this time it was harder than the last strokes.

When he woke up, what he saw were the guards laughing at him, he didn't know why.

_10 minutes ago_

The guards were laughing when Cronos gained consciousness, he fainted while Lucius was whipping him, and he didn't even get halfway to the cane. Lucius stopped when he noticed that he was unconscious and they all stood around him waiting for him to wake up before they all burst out in laughter when they saw his reaction, 'looks like this guy is a wimp' one of the guards said with disgust while the rest burst out laughing.

Please I would like to know if the book is ok so I hope you guys can leave remarks, I'll also accept critics as it'll help me do better. Thank you 😊
