(Book 1) The malediction of the Undertaker

Chapter 24: when the heart speaks

Back to the fortress, Taker is accompanied by Diana to help him in his room and tend to his back. She is still surprised at what Taker did to save them from that horrible experience he had at the Burrow. She helps Taker up the stairs before entering the bedroom, Tigress following Diana very closely. She asked her creature to make a thick spider's web and she heated an iron stick in the fireplace to close the Majesty's wounds. She cleans one of the wounds with a water-soaked towel while Taker lies on his stomach trying not to show pain towards her. "I'm sorry Taker." She said when she heard him growl, realizing that his wounds were hurting him badly, he turned his head enough to look at her.

"That's what I deserve, I..I failed in my duty as Lord, humans shouldn't be in contact with creatures..." He said with difficulty, Diana puts on the canvas. spider in one of Taker's wounds before burning the wound to close it, Taker buried his head against the pillow and cried out in pain. "You have not failed in your duty as Lord Taker, you are respected by everyone and Markus wanted to do the same as you: to be loved." She said bandaging Taker's burnt wound and going to do the same to the other wound, Taker frowned looking at her. "Arag was very angry with Markus but wanted to hurt you because you approached the creatures. That's why I sacrificed myself." He confessed, Diana stopped cleaning his wound, Looking at him surprised that the Majesty sacrificed himself not for Markus, nor for Tigress in reality but for her. He looks into her beautiful violet eyes.

"I promised to myself to protect you like your father wanted, I'm a man of my word. And you saved Markus. If Arag would have pushed with that idea, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill him." He said then groaned when she burned his wound after putting some canvas in it and went to take care of the hole Markus' fang made in Taker's upper back. She smiles at him, very grateful to Taker, then frowns when she feels her heart racing as if what Taker said did something to her. Taker sits up on the bed when she's finished bandaging the wounds on his back, he looks at her with tired eyes.

"Thank you for this sacrifice Taker. that's the least I can say." She said sincerely trying not to blush, Taker gets up, goes to the mirror. Hide by my clothes, no one will see that I'm hurt. He thought. He turns to her as she walks out the door, he takes her soft hand in his cold one. "Thank you for healing my wounds." He said before tenderly kissing her hand, she smiled at him while Tigress put one of her paws on the Majesty's foot to say goodnight. She lets go of his hand gently and opens the door letting Tigress walk out first then turns back to Taker. "Good night Majesty." She said before closing the door.

The next day, Taker struggles to get up due to his back injuries. He rubbed his face before drawing the curtains and opening the windows to step out onto his balcony, looking out at the village, not a dog, not a child outside. Silence reigns in the fortress early this morning, he could see the Tigress still on the roof of Diana's house. This beast likes the roof, thought Taker entering his room to get dressed wanting to wash in the lake this morning, he takes the cards with him before going there.

He walks quietly towards the entrance of the fortress with the cards in hand looking at them and turning them over wanting to know what card it is. Arriving at the lake where everyone can swim, the lake everyone likes to go there especially on hot days, there is a large waterfall, the water is beautiful, no danger. Taker places the cards on a rock before undressing. Naked, he goes swimming, relaxes his muscles and the water does him good for his wounds in his back, he goes to the rock where he put the cards and takes the cards in his hands, checking them... he assembled but it doesn't look like the plan of a house or a castle, it's like the map of a labyrinth...

"And the key opens what the master hides".... Taker remembers what the inmate said before he was killed, maybe they lead to open doors but where? where can it be?

Suddenly he sees Diana undressing to bathe, she doesn't seem to have seen that Taker is there. he has never seen a beautiful body as beautiful as her, her legs which seem soft, her buttocks which say hello to him when she is back to him. She entered the water without looking ahead, not checking to see if anyone was there. Taker is still looking at her swimming, he could see her breasts through the water. Diana swims, relaxes, thinking she was alone when suddenly looks around and sees Taker, naked, in the lake too, she suddenly comes out Embarrassed. She hadn't realized the Majesty was there, hiding her body as best she could. "oh my god, I'm sorry Majesty, I didn't see you were there" she says trying to hide her body, embarrassed to be naked in front of him but Taker doesn't seem to being embarrassed, he laughs looking at her.

"No need to be embarrassed because I'm here, I wouldn't mind, and anyway I'm leaving, you can swim as long as you want." He said, reassuring her before getting out of the water, the waterfalls all over his body, his muscles are so wet, making him look so sexy, he has wet hair and the wet goatee makes him hotter, he doesn't even hide his dick, he doesn't care.

Taker wraps his bandages around his waist all the way to his pectorals to protect his injuries. He gets dressed, puts on his pants and his polo shirt before giving her a wink, and returns to the fortress. Diana can't help but think that Taker is gorgeous despite the differences between them. When he's in the fortress, he looks like a guy who does everything to protect his family, his rare smile shines every time he smiles, his eyes cold and at the same time beautiful lit up at night. Without forgetting what he told her yesterday, he sacrificed himself so that she did not suffer an attack from Arag, he is very brave. And what about his body? He has an even more muscular body than Pat. His tattoos up his muscular arms. He is very sexy for a Lord. Diana shook her head at all her thoughts, realizing she was falling in love with a man who is impossible to have as a human.
