A Strange Man
Guthred watched quietly as his two brothers spoke with fearful Alex.
Fight with a lion? Alex was scared. “No… I…”
“Doctor!” Orm shouted and one of the palace doctors ran to the spot like a speed of light.
“Perform the DNA test.” Orm commanded.
Alex’s hair was immediately cut off while Chester’s hair was cut off too then the doctor promised to be back in an hour time.
“I believe I may go now, my princes.” Alex asked.
“No.” Orm said. “Sit!”
Alex sat obediently, not wanting to fall on the bad side of the brothers. The only person who can help him now was Chester.
“Chester!” Alex called and Chester looked at him then walked up to where he sat. All the three brothers could be seen pressing their eyes on Chester but in a protective way.
“Chester, please save me. These people may kill me,” Alex whispered to Chester.
“You should have known better not to kidnap me from my mommy,” then Chester walked away.
“I want to resume my training,” Chester said to Guthred. Guthred made an order and at once, the officer who trains Chester appeared and took Chester a distance away. Alex watched as Chester’s trainer trained him.
He sighed. After one hour, the doctor came back with the DNA test result, after the princes had checked it, they sent one of their servants to hand the test result over to Alex. Alex’s heart raced when the test result proved he wasn’t Chester’s father.
“Please don’t let me fight with the Lion. I admit I’m not as strong as you, I’m just the commander in chief of a private family, unlike you that is trained to defend an entire kingdom. What is my might compared to yours?” Alex asked.
“Chester will pass your judgement,” then Orm called Chester over and once he appeared, Orm asked him, “what Punishment does he deserve for kidnapping you?”
“Keep him in the tomb.” Chester proclaimed.
At once, about four servants ran to Alex and took him away.
Chester smiled, Guthred carried him in his shoulder and ruffled his hair, “good boy.”
“He deserves it,” Chester said.
“It’s time to find your mommy,” Guthred said to Chester.
The following week, Guthred, Orm and Ulfur went over to Jora City but as common men. They didn’t take along with them their princely regalia. They want to know about Brigitta, they want to know about Ragnar Marshall as Chester had once talked about him but they also want to know about Jora City. Perhaps, they can add it to the list of cities they will conquer.
Two weeks later, Brigitta got the news that Alex was now captured in Maridonna. She didn’t know what Alex did to offend them but she was glad Alex was off the list of people who pose themselves as threat and burden to her.
Seems she’s only left with Cassie to deal with now, so she thought. But she was still desperate to find her son, Chester. Ragnar had told her that Chester had been abducted by the princes of Maridonna and from what she heard about the princes, she knew that going over to Maridonna to demand her son is equivalent to commiting suicide, yet, she can not just fold her hands and do nothing. She has to do something. So Brigitta planned on discussing it with Beocca, perhaps, there was a way Beocca can help her.
The following day was a Saturday, while she was going to her training ground, she noticed her car was suddenly slowing down so she parked and when she checked, she realized that she had a flat tire.
She sighed and picked up her phone ready to call a mechanic when she suddenly felt something covered her nose.
She surprisingly woke up in a cemetery. She find herself right on a grave, was she dead? She was scared to the gut for the cemetery was full of graveyards and it was dead quiet. She stood up and dusted her body. She didn’t know if she was dead or alive.
Then she suddenly saw some people approaching, it was when they got before her that she noticed whom these people were. They were Cassie, her father and one other strange woman.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, this is my twin sister, Lagartha,” Cassie pointed to Lagartha when she saw that Brigitta didn’t seem to recognize the third person. “This is just to tell you that if we want you dead, we could have easily killed you.” Cassie added.
“And what stopped you from killing me?” Brigitta asked.
“I.” Langbrók answered. “How can I possibly watch my own daughter get murdered?”
“But you can watch ‘your own daughter’ get accused falsely for murder? You can also kill the grandmother of your ‘your own daughter?”
“Brigitta, as you can see, you are somewhere no one can save you. We are here to give you one last chance, divorce Ragnar Marshall, travel to a very far place with your children and live a happy ever after.” Lagartha spoke.
“You put too much confidence in Ragnar Marshall but as you can see, we could have already killed and buried you yet Ragnar Marshall wouldn’t even care. You are not so special before Ragnar Marshall,” Cassie said.
“Please, my daughter. Do this for your own safety and for the safety of your children.” Langbrók said. “Once you agree, we will immediately bring your kids over and arrange your dissapearance to another city. As long as you promise us not to appear in this city anymore, then we will not harm you.”
All of a sudden, a man began to walk towards the scene. Cassie, Lagartha and Langbrók turned at once and they were stunned to see this strange face.
“Who are you?” Langbrók spoke up, since he was the only man amidst the two females.
The man grabbed Langrbrok in the throat that he choked until he lost consciousness then he was dropped like a dead man to the floor. When Lagartha and Cassie saw this, they were so scared.
“Please don’t hurt us, please ..” Cassie pleaded.
“Scram!” The man commanded. Cassie and Lagartha immediately sped off.
The man and Brigitta exchanged glances for a few seconds then Brigitta coughed briefly, she about to say something when the man suddenly turned and walked away. She wanted to ask lots of questions but her priority at the moment was to escape this godforsaken place so she sped like a speed of light away from the scene.
