the blood was dried
"Your highness, please save me.'' She pleaded again, only then did I realise we were looking in each other's eyes for a while. His eyes had so many emotions that for a moment I felt lost.
"You are safe here, lady Isabella," he said. I had to stifle a laugh when Isabella's expressions turned stiff.
Her clothes were torn, and she was beaten, yet Cassius said she was safe with such confidence, what was the definition of safe in his vocabulary!
"Your highness, her highness had slapped me, multiple times, she was even trying to strangle me, she had gone crazy, she is not in her senses anymore." she said in between her sobs, i had to say, it was a perfect plan.
If I had been at Cassius's place, I would have believed her words too. Since she was locked in the room all the time and no one had come in except her father and me, so everyone's suspicion would go on me, no one would even think that she had beaten herself, after all, which sane person would do that!
