XHANAI POISON⚠️
They stared intensely at each other for such a long time until Hera-Mera was forced to look away.
His gaze was so fiery that it seemed as if they were burning her soul, all of it.
He turned away from her, frustrated and angry to his boiling point.
His brother's woman had been confined to a dungeon, overnight!
He was in big trouble with him because he would not let him or anyone go scot-free, whether it had been his fault or not.
He turned to look at the culprit.
He was fast losing it by seeing the culprit's face, at the very verge of blowing out of proportion.
He held the emotions threatening to spill out inside of him.
He spoke then.
'Lift your head!' he snapped at her. She quickly complied at the sound of his stern voice.
'What made you throw her into the dungeons?' he asked her.
'She defied me,' was her straight forward answer.
Frustration painted his facial features with its trademark.
Was she bent on infuriating him to stupor for no reason?
'Defied you as in? Oh I forgot, you are affianced to the Emperor!' he denoted with sufficient sarcasm.
'My Munificent Royalty,' she began at his outburst. But, he crudely interrupted her.
'Where is the head of house and the butler?' he asked.
'They are somewhere around,' she murmured. He turned to one of the maids on standby.
'Go and get the mentioned persons for me and do so very quickly lest I have your head for it!' he bellowed.
The maid scurried away to do so without a bow.
She returned almost instantly with the requested people.
That made him realize that they must have all been close by, watching every single thing unfold.
'Here they are My Munificent Royalty!' the maid said to him with a voice that trembled.
'My Munificent Royalty,' both of the newcomers -a male and a female said to him in greetings.
It wasn't Peter.
That meant the Emperor had taken his butler.
He must have left the man present to take over his place for a while.
He knew the man.
He was undoubtedly Peter's assistant.
What he didn't know was wether the man was a fool!
