I rubbed my temples. Why was I given the task to kill someone? Couldn't he get Valerius to do it? That bastard is always riding on his dick. Honestly this whole thing is making me feel like Lucio just wants another long term throwaway whore to fuck.

Anyways. I need a good reason to do this. Poison would be easy but I don't want it to seem suspicious... I couldn't stab nor shoot him....

The only viable option is either he gets publicly executed. Or he gets attacked by a while animal... I have a idea.

Before I could even go up to tell Lucio he was already back down here. And with someone. Is that? It is. Salims apprentice.
Xypher.

"Call off the murder Valdemar. I got them already."

They were visibly scared, as if Lucio had hurt them. Knowing him, I doubt it but I could always be wrong. He seemed to have a mark on his neck. Looked bruised, assuming Lucio did something to them before hand I assumed it was a hickey.

Lucio fondled their waist. Cementing my theory that they had some sort of sexual relationship. I didn't want to ask as I felt I might "offend" Lucio.

"He's my newest pet. I want their room right next to mine for easy access. Tell a servant for me I have business to attend to with this lovely person."

I nod and get back to my work as they go upstairs

How the hell could I have let Lucio take them- oh my- I took a deep breath

"Salim, honey- it's okay, I'm sure he'll be back. Trust me."

My wife's gentle voice soothed me. Why was I so panicky?

"Alright... Let's just head to bed. "

Aisha smiled and held my hand, taking me up to our room
