intruder

The castle of the Duke of the North , Held a grand hall with a long dining table and chairs for more than thirty people .

Gaius Maro the ruthless Duke of the north a. k. a "Raider of the north". known for his greediness and cunning lifestyle, his domain is famous for his slave trade. and inhumane activities.

Sat at the head of the table holding a chicken lap in one hand and a beautiful

a lady in the other , his pot-belly almost hitting the table, chuckles and laughter filled the air , servants walking in with plates of food and walking out with empty ones.

Gaius and his companions were making merry after their successful raid of a small village, catering away with their gold's livestock and mostly their girls as trophy for a successful raid.

He chewed on the meat he's holding and gave the lady he's holding to chew, but she simply threw away her head in disgust. she expected him to slap her or hit her but none of that came , rather his laughter filled the air . After the laugh died down he pulled her closer and whispered in her ear " eat enough, so as to have the strength to accompany me in bed , my stamina is quite strong " he grinned and smacked her butt , and she whimpered in pain .

Arthur dressed ruggedly handsome walked in with Ronan trailing behind him, dressed in a regal attire all through , on his left ear was a jeweled earring, his cloak sweeping the floor as he walked. Gaius was taken aback for a moment by his sudden dominating presence, he expected him to be under the influence of the drug , now his suspicions are a bit confirmed . 'He's not an ordinary human' he thought inwardly but quickly hid it well enough not to betray his emotions.

" My honorable guest, Prince Arthur, called to him, and beckoned him to sit closer to him , and he did .

Arthur was not at all surprised by what he saw , he knew the Duke to be a womanizer but flaunting it in the open was a disgrace to his dukedom . But he decided not to interfere as that wasn't the reason he was there in the first place.

"I have a wonderful package for you , all the way from the south city , She's as white as snow, and very beautiful", he grinned mischievously at Arthur .

" Oh really? " He asked with zero interest.His attention on Kilion his beta whom the duke made sure his cup wasn't empty, and kept filling it with hopes of getting him drunk . 'humans have poor mentality , did he think he can get a werewolf drunk ! what insolence !

" And she's enroute as we speak". Gaius added to get his attention

A drink was poured in his cup by one of the servants, and he raised the cup to his mouth in pretense, but he was stopped by Gaius .

" My prince , why is there a gauze on your wrist ", he asked

Arthur lips curled up , as expected of him he couldn't keep his curiosity at bay

" I encountered a little difficulty, but am fine now "

Gaius wasn't satisfied with the answer he gave him, he knew something was off with him. Everything about him changed ,his aura , he looks more powerful than before. he wanted to enquire more, but he was distracted when he saw one of his patrol guards running towards him in panic.

" Your grace, the city has been infiltrated, four of your patrol guards have been taken out by the intruder and the worst part is, they weren't killed with a sword nor with an arrow .

Bam !

" Outrageous!"

" Who dares to infiltrate the north city? And what do you mean by ``they weren't killed by a sword nor an arrow, how then did they die ?"

The guard with his head bent shivering a little continued, " it's magic your grace "

" What ? Magic ? " What are you waiting for ? summon the witch-hunter immediately!

" Yes, your grace " the guard dashed out from the dining hall.

As expected of her , she made quite an entrance" he thought to himself and smiled half-heartedly.
