CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN

ASHER’S POV

My eyes were still on the captive. He knew something, and I wanted to hear it at once.

Asher grabbed him at my signal and forced him to get back on his knees.

“You are going to tell me who helped you with the gates. That’s the only way you can keep your head on your body.” I said, but the captive looked like he was not ready to talk.

“I am sure you heard him…” Leslie stepped up at once, she was ready to get the captive to talk if he decided to contin

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY LESLIE’S POV All the leaders in the hall turned to Stephon at once, but it didn’t look like any of them was ready to admit to the crime.“Maybe whoever it is should save us the stress and confess,” Asher said, and after he paused for a while, he continued. “We don’t have to spend the whole day here.” He looked at the leaders one after the other, but they all looked like they were innocent, like none of them had ever committed a crime in his life. I thought Stephon was going to be looking at one of them, probably the culprit, but he had his eyes on the ground. It was a bit disappointing to see that he was looking down, but I knew that the truth was going to be out in a matter of time. Lord Magnus asked for permission to speak.“Yes, uncle? What is it?” Asher didn’t look like he wanted to speak to him, but he still had to give him audience.“How are we certain that he was not paid to do this? How can one of the leaders betray this Kingdom? We have al bee

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETEEN LESLIE’S POV I was convinced that Lord Magnus could have been the one who helped them to get through the gates, but I hoped that I was wrong for the sake of King Asher. I knew what he had said, and the act was treason. But I was not certain that he was going to be able to kill his uncle no matter what. I stared at him while we walked into the hall. He had been unable to answer the question I asked him, but I wasn’t even expecting him to give me a response. Just when he was about to open the door to the hall so that we could go in, I stopped him, and he turned to give me an inquisitive stare.“What is it?” He asked, and I sighed before I gave him a response. “Whatever happens in there, Asher, I want you to promise me that you will not take any drastic actions.” “Why? Why are you saying this?” “Just make the promise, Asher. I begged you.” I insisted and he nodded in agreement.“Fine. I promise.” He said, and I nodded.Then we went in at once, and it

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN ASHER’S POV My eyes were still on the captive. He knew something, and I wanted to hear it at once. Asher grabbed him at my signal and forced him to get back on his knees.“You are going to tell me who helped you with the gates. That’s the only way you can keep your head on your body.” I said, but the captive looked like he was not ready to talk. “I am sure you heard him…” Leslie stepped up at once, she was ready to get the captive to talk if he decided to continue with his silence.“You are weak! That’s why CEO Caelum was able to take the throne from you!” The captive threw saliva, and it almost landed on Leslie.Kara was furious. She grabbed him by the neck and almost plunged her dagger into his chest.“Stop, Kara!” Leslie as quick to react, but Kara still wanted to kill him. “He is god to us alive than dead,” Leslie said, slowly Kara let him go.But she kicked him very hard on his chest, causing him to grunt in pain. Leslie walked up to him, and it

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN ASHER’ POV The sight of Leslie on the ground made my heart skip several beats. I was so glad when I went close to her and saw that she was unhurt.But it was hard for me not to be angry with Kara. “You were meant to watch over her, Kara! I gave you the instruction to watch over her and not leave her side!” I glared; my thundering voice didn’t seem enough.Kara bent her face to the ground. “I am sorry, King Asher. I am sorry…”“This was all my fault, Asher…” Leslie said calmly, and I turned to look at her.“I asked Kara to bring me here. She didn’t want to bring me here, but I forced her to.” She looked like she was telling the truth, but there was no way I could tell.“Are you saying this because you want to help her escape her punishment?”“No, Asher. I am saying this because it’s the truth.” Leslie shook her head. “I forced her to bring me here.” She repeated. I was still staring at Kara without knowing what I was going to do with her. But it looke

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN LESLIE’S POV Kara wanted to join them in the fight, but it was hard for her to decide if she was going to stay with me or go help the others.I could count over twenty enemies, and it appeared as though the more that were killed, the more others appeared.Somehow they had managed to get past the gate; it meant that they had help from an insider. Someone had helped them, and it meant that we had an enemy from within. Asher fought close o the King, but he was not as fast as he was. Together, they plunged their sword and spear into the enemies that tried to get close to them.I could count a few of our soldiers who had fallen under the claws of the enemies, and there were so many of ours who were not fighters who were dead, some others were on the run.The sight was heartbreaking. We were not prepared for an attack, and it had chosen a very wrong time to happen. Then I saw the King struggle to stand for a while, and I knew that the pain from the injury had

  • A BABY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 115

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN LESLIE’S POV I held Asher at once, stopping him from making any other move.The blood I saw on Kara’s dagger was still dripping, and I was certain that she had not used the weapon to kill just one person.“Allow me, Leslie! We have to defend the east gate!” Asher had always prioritized the safety of his people, but there was no one to ensure his own safety except me. “Just wait, Asher. We don’t know who that could be.” I was nervous and unable to hide my fear.“If the east gate is infiltrated, then the people will suffer brutality, Leslie. Let me go…” Asher wanted to pull out o my grip, but it was not as easy as he thought.Then he turned to Kara, who was still standing and waiting to hear what he was going to say. “Where is Asher? Is he aware of what is happening?”“The Manager is at the gate with the soldiers.”“Good. Then I will go join him later.” He returned his gaze to me, and he didn’t seem pleased that I was still holding him with a tighter grip.
