Spy

Inside the small room where Drey was led, it was a little dark. And the soldier runs to lit up the corridors.

They descend the stairs and came into a small room underground base at the borders. There a man was tied to a chair.

His bruised face showed how he had been beaten. Rico leans on the wall with a bored expression covering his face.

If not just waiting for Drey to wake up he could have killed this man a long time ago. Drey walk to the man and stood looking at the lord who had been nothing but just troubles to the kingdom.

Drey had been suspecting lord Garry for a long time now.

Drey bends down and lifts the man's chin a little upwards. He stared at the man with a blank expression on his face.

" Garry Clarkson?"

Drey called him and went around him."So do you want the king's seat? It was easy you could have just told me, you all knew how much I despised that title."

The man didn't say anything as his head lowered.

"How much did the Rosario Kingdom offer you, don't tell me they offered a place in the court or a higher one than the one here in Rivea!?" He feigns ignorance

"Nothing, Your Highness," Garry's voice came out hoarse. Under his eyes were small dark circles. It seems he hadn't slept well for a few weeks now.

"Really?"

"Am not lying Your Highness, they tricked me into it I didn't want to spy on you!"He screamed and was frustrated. He tried to move but the shackle stopped him.

"That is not what you told me a few days ago Garry?" Rico voiced out still leaning on the wall.

"Sir Rico!"

The man hadn't noticed Rico until he heard his voice. He thought the King died when Rico caught him a few weeks ago that's why he hadn't shown up. He had been brave enough to talk back to Rico a few days ago.

He thought after Rico was fed up with him the Rosario kingdom would come to rescue him. But now why is the king still alive?

Panicking he looked away from the king who hadn't shown any changes on his face.

Seeing him this way Drey smirks at Garry.

"If you leave me alone they won't come after you and you woman My King," Garry tried to negotiate with Drey.?

"And you think I care about them?"

He could count how many times his father and his brother Dany have come after his life, but they have never succeeded.

"Ugh!"

Before Garry knew it Rico had landed a blow across his face. He screamed but couldn't rub his face since his hands were tied behind him. Blood oozed out from the corner of his lips.

"Bring them in," Rico shouted before moving away from the man.

He let Drey do what he wanted to do with this man. After all, he betrayed the Kingdom.

The small door opened and a woman with two boys walked in. Their dirty clothes showed it was so long since they haven't changed.

His sons looked worn out not like the lord's son they have always been.

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Since the day he was here, he hadn't seen his family, Garry knew he had hidden them well but now. He couldn't have estimated this Rico.

Rico chuckled loudly at him.

"You have underestimated Rico, you thought since I was not around Rico would let you walk unharmed Garry?" Drey asked him.

"Please leave them alone my king they have nothing to do with what I have done," worried face didn't leave Garry for even a minute.

"But I will a sure you not touch them since you are the one who was at fall here," Drey murmured.

Seeing he husband tied and bruised Garry's wife run to her husband."Why Garry? Why?"Her wife screams at him. Her fists landed on his chest and when Garry saw tears running down her cheeks. He regretted it so much.

"Your wife and children will still stay in Niva but work like a normal citizen. They will not be treated like lords' sons and wives," Drey concluded and signaled the soldier to take his family away.

Garry knew he had no chance when he saw his family being escorted away from there. When the soldier unties him he immediately sprawls over aiming his first at Drey only to be met with a kick and fall on the ground.

Drey was still recovering and didn't want to fight now but since he had attacked him he will have to return the favor.

"You pick on the wrong person Garry," Drey whispered when Garry was trying to stand."I was debating whether I should leave you alone or kill you but you have decided the latter.

Drey walked slowly to where he was and picked him up with one hand.

"You were not only a fool but an idiot also."

Garry glanced at Drey and he was fueled."I would kill you and your all family, and that woman I will take her as my mistress," he shouted out in anger at Drey.

Drey didn't let him continue with that he sway towards him. He removed a small dagger from his sheath and looked at the struggling Garry trying to stand up straight. If eyes could kill Drey will now burn in hell.

He sprawls forward to strangle him but Drey just avoided the contact swiftly. He was quick to recover from swaying and held Garry by the shoulder before Garry could fall, he aimed the dagger at his heart.

All the soldiers held their breath.

Drey twisted it deep inside. His hand went through the hole and it came out with Garry's beating heart.

A few gasps followed. Rico looked at the bloodied covered heart and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

Drey looks at the heart and then at the wide-eyed Garry falling with a thud. A sardonic smile curved on his thin lips.

He look at the heart and brought it over to Lai.

He enjoyed the look on Lai's face as it devour Garry's, fresh heart. Drey looked at his lioness and the smile widen.

"I have a friend you should meet, but be good to her," he warned Lai.

Lai's eyes widen what did she see in his master's eyes?"Don't give that look Lai, am getting a partner you should be proud of me," he grin at Lai at the end.

Drey patted Lai on her head for a while before deciding to leave. The place smells of fresh blood.

"Don't give Lai his dirty corpse, throw them to that beast," Drey warned.

"Yes, Your Highness," the soldiers who were inside replied.

After saying that they moved out, Rico followed behind with a satisfied smile.
