Until meeting Remus, Alexander was able to tour the camp freely without any distractions since most of the men had not had the time to even register his arrival. But it took only a few moments with Remus to make the man have all that peace of mind get destroyed. What Remus basically was suggesting was that since the enemy planned to flood them with undrinkable seawater, then all they would have to do is use heat to boil the waste salt out, thus leaving them with only pure drinkable water. And…-

Alexander could not agree to Lady Miranda's ask both because it was a bad idea as well as the fact that deep down he was still interested in negotiating…. now more than ever, given the deteriorating circumstances. But he also could not outright object to Lady Miranda. Now was neither the right time nor the right place. If Alexander were to start advising her now, at best she would call him naive for believing that he could still negotiate. But much more likely charge at him manically screaming…

"My lord, he is not breathing!" Hearing the kneeling legionary comment so regarding Lord Nolan's condition made both Alexander and Lady Miranda feel as if they had been zapped and they suddenly became a bit stiff. The two deaths were not in anybody's mind when they had first bought the two men. The original plan was to only interrogate them and then if needed, judge them in front of the family, thus displaying their breach of trust. After all that, they could be sentenced, if the need arose. But…

"....." At Lady Miranda's sudden and lethal attack on her husband, the room suddenly turned deathly silent, as everyone in the room just stood in his place, shocked and astounded. None of them had expected this. They might have envisioned a scenario where the two 'prisoners' Lord Nolan and Lord Cassius suddenly attacked the Pasha and the lady next to him out of rage, and the legionaries were even ready to intervene if that happened, but they were not ready for it to be the other way around, for a…

Facing her half insane husband, Lady Miranda initially had tried to maintain as rational a facade as possible, trying to bring herself to terms with all that he had done. And perhaps the most astonishing thing was that even after all this, even after all the things he said and all the things he wished to do, at the end of the day, Lady Miranda was still willing to overlook all of them if only he apologized and promised to never repeat them. Yes, that's right, deep inside, Lady Miranda was of the…

Lord Cassius did not know what came over him when he kicked his father. It was like his legs were suddenly possessed by a demon, and it was this entity that had landed the blow on the old man's stomach, not him. ."......" And the act was so horrifying that for a second, the entire room felt like it had come to a freezing pause. How could a son hit his father, a father who was lying on the ground completely defenseless? Was he possessed? Or had his body been hijacked? Everyone was shocked. And…

Upon hearing Lord Cassius's involuntary confession, Lady Miranda's head began to slowly spin, as all those suspicious acts from the past few days suddenly began to make sense and all those unconnected dots began to swiftly and neatly arrange themselves. The long hours the man would spend staring into the outside, the strange times he would leave their room with the intention to go 'negotiate' with Miss Linda, and the strange, almost familiar perfume smell he would have on his body when he would…

Lady Miranda knew her husband far better than her father in law. So given just how much the man was sweating and stuttering at all their questions, she could smell the rat from miles away. If the events had truly unfolded as described by Lord Nolan, then she was pretty certain her man would not be acting like this. He would be the first to jump up and defend their actions at the top of his voice. Because that was the type of man Lord Cassius was. When something was true and valid, he would be…

"Wha… wha… fath… wh.. Ho.." Towards Alexander's sudden and brutal show of violence, Lord Cassius found himself only able to just stand there, mouth gaping wide and mumbling incoherently, too shocked to even go help up his lying father. While Alexander in the meantime left his seat and sprinted forward, placing himself before the two men with a domineering aura and an enraged look to once again shout, "Why did you do it? Tell me! Why did you betray us? What did Parker Heeat promise…

The father and son duo's faces flashed a dark shadow as they acutely sensed the gaze on the two guards change, going from angry at being disobeyed to intrigued and then enlightened. With one of them making the hypothesis that they might be the 'one', the other soon began to make the connection too. And as more and more of the relayed description began to match, their heart gave a cartwheel. They could not believe the fish they had just caught. Such luck! A huge bonus was bound to be in store from…
