Devil's Heart Chapter twenty six
Chapter twenty sixEarl, as pesky as always, decided to break the lustful aura of his favorite friend. While stalking behind Philip, he patted his shoulder playfully and rasped his words, "She's all yours Your Grace. You see such a fiery woman and you play the committed man."While Philip chose to ignore and roll his eyes away, his libido successfully broken, Jason and Nax chuckled in agreement.Now back to the matter at hand, the whole Anfield clan watched their bait walk up to their target and waited expectantly and deep in concentration. Even Peter had reduced his women to a single lass who fed grapes to him. It was such a fun show.Monica reached the Baron's table and sat herself upon it, using her hand to support her weight and arching her hip upwards. That pose was the most tempting for the middle aged Roothewell Henchele. While he smiled up at the woman on his table, he offered her a glass of whatever he was drinking.Monica shook her head in denial, tipping it instead towards
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty seven
Chapter twenty sevenLord Roothewell stared down at the knife on his throat, gasping fearfully before he finally looked up at them again, "What do you want from me?"The Duke studied him silently for a while before he sighed. Approaching him, he lowered his height in a squat for better scrutiny. "How well do you know my father?" The Baron seemed to have frowned a bit, they noticed. Still, he clammed up, reluctant to speak.Philip glanced at Monica with narrowed eyes, speaking a language with the stare only she was able to understand.Then, she obeyed.The lady pushed the blade closer through the Baron's skin, slightly piercing it and threatening to go deeper.With a groan, he grimaced at the sight of his own blood sipping down his clothes, "Fine!" Then he felt the weapon pressing his skin shift away as well...just a bit."I'm listening," Philip pushed his stand even more.After drawing shaky breaths for something that looked like strength, Roothewell sighed in frustration and let out
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty eight
Chapter twenty eightNax heard some noise from outside the door that Monica had managed to manoeuver back to its hinges.While the entire room had a fuming vibe that seemed a bit noisy, he raised a finger to his lips and whispered, "Shhh…"Monica stopped sobbing and looked up from Timothy's shoulder. The Prince however smiled down at her with his hand still on her hair, the other drying her face carefully, "Seems we have company. Why don't we channel your emotion Monica into something more useful and exciting?"The Scottish glared at him in confusion showing she had not understood what he meant. Philip however, did her the favour to explain further, "What he means to say is… go get us some carcasses."His words came with a small smile to her, giving the effect he knew he always caused with that action of his.She grinned and sniffed, raising her hands to completely dry her eyes. Soon after, she was back in track and away from that vulnerability she always hated.What surprised everyon
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty nine
Chapter twenty nineThe soldier was sure he had heard a noise, foot steps to be precise. And although sweat dripped down his face and his heartbeat increased, he stalked forward carefully with his sword ready.Now the noise came from up the stairs, making him turn quickly enough to face it.The last thing he felt was a hand around him from behind and a knife to his throat.Not long after, Philip sliced the soldier and pushed him down. He retrieved a cloth and busied himself with wiping the blood thoroughly off it. "You can come out now! The con is over,"he shouted into nothingness to the man he thought he was talking to, precisely the one he was supposed to be with.It worried him slightly when seconds after, Nax had not emerged. The general had been the cause of the distracting footsteps, but now the shadow he saw approaching was surely not Nax's.The silhouette on the wall came closer and retrieved a sword. That was when the Duke of Anfield knew he was supposed to run.At that, he
Devil's Heart Chapter thirty
Chapter thirtyThe silence was indeed necessary to the lads. Slowly, their gazes travelled along the corpses before them. It was almost difficult to get their feet through the river of bodies."That little whore," Earl gasped under his breath while his hands gripped Jason to his side to support his steps.Lancaster soldiers lay dead with their bodies battered. The number was well over significant, and looking at them would prove the Scottish was in a disgusting mood.Unavoidably, The Duke looked out through a window deep in an aclove at the left of the hallway. It seemed the party was over. Well that wasn't the part that disturbed him.A little more than twenty soldiers were making their way across one of the battlements leading to the tower they were in. And they surely had a different imprint on their armours from that of the Lancaster corpses that lay before them. A little more scrutiny made him realise they were guard of this very empire.A gasp escaped his lips at that moment wi
Devil's Heart Chapter thirty one
Chapter thirty one"You two look terrible! Were you eaten by sharks or something worse?" The words were said by the only person capable of inflicting pain when comfort was needed; Earl Robinson.He gawked at the Duke and the lady, dripping wet and adorned with what looked like sea weed as they half ran to them.Philip Forland squeezed his hair and immediately stepped on the stirrup of his horse, mounting it efficiently and pulling the reins in his grip, "I would not have had to be a fish today if you all had done as told!"Genuine confusion settled upon them as they all frowned, obviously trying to make sense of what he meant.But then something more demanding sought their attention. As they looked back in through the gates they'd just left, a man pointed a finger towards at them all. Soon after, a small group of guards followed his direction and began chasing after them.At that point, nothing delayed them. Philip reined his horse into the walkway and set it trotting at full speed.H
Devil's Heart Chapter thirty two
Chapter thirty-twoKing Louis traced his fingers down the map on the table, a glass of rum in his other hand.Kilmarnock!He stopped his forefinger on Scotland, then sipped from his cup.After a short while of scrutiny, he called out with his deep, sour voice, "James."The King didn't wait longer than a moment before a footman strode in with his head low and a hand on his chest. "Your Majesty."Another gulp of rum and a little while later, King Louis raised his attention from the map he had been studying all night, "Would you call my two youngest sons for me?"James paused in fulfilling the order and managed to look up at the older man with a frown. After the short silence, he declared steadily, "I apologise my King but they are still away on their trip to Anfield."Louis looked at him and dropped his cup, his brows joining slightly, "And why is that? They do not usually stay this long!"The man he spoke to obviously had no answer to that. All he did was make his gaze travel to the f
Devil's Heart Chapter thirty three
Chapter thirty threeElizabeth brewed eight cups of coffee, fixed them beautifully on a tray and lifted it in her hands. With it, she strode round the mansion with the hem of her skirt swooping over the floor, searching for any living soul to no avail.It was empty…Where was everyone?A gunshot from outside made her heart jerk. She took the next few seconds to panic and suck in enough strength to think of what to do next. But then, she suddenly stopped fussing when she remembered the men practised every morning, so the gunshot was justified. Clearly, everyone was outside.She walked towards the back door, the cups vibrating upon the saucers beneath them. At the door, she found all eight upon the lawn, occupied with one thing or the other to even notice she was around.Faking a wide grin, she declared, "Good morning everyone! Who's in for some coffee?"As if it was planned, all eyes fell on her at that instant. Then almost immediately, most of the eyes left her and refocused their att
