The emperor's lineage

Mute

Theseus P.o.v

I blink my eye open knowing that I have been tricked. My body refuse to listen to the command I am giving it. I tried several time before been able to get up, I staggered to one of the drawers, quickly pulling out the elixir that my mother gifted me as a child. I could not understand or even imagine that I would be needing it. Someone has managed to make a potent of bliss, the only thing that can weaken the imperial clan. It is known to be a really dark art of witchcraft due to its ingredients, a virgin is to be sacrificed…. She would have to make a journey through the gates to get the potent to the witch. It is considered treason to practice dark arts, so who would dare practice it if not my one and only bastard of a brother….

I emptied the content of the bottle into my mouth before waiting for it to work, the pain started, but I am strong enough to take it, I was calming down when I remembered that I left ocean in the room the night before to get her the warm tea, I remembered the wine already poured in the cup that I drank when I came back……..i was blinded by my lust…now my people are in danger due to my foolishness.

Now no one can save her from me, not even Ariadne. I tried to lit the candle in the room, but only got some sparks. I can feel my powers coming back to be. I turned to the table to see a tray, I looks like someone brought breakfast. I was in a slumber but somehow I knew how long I was out for. I leaned against the table as my powers strengthened, but then she walked in.

I turned instantly sending my deadly stare at her hoping that would kill her. She stopped in her track, the smile rushing off her face, I noticed her shivering. I intended on killing her but Leonidas walked in just in time. He tried to defend her, but I stopped him after telling him what happened. I ripped her dress off, before leaving with Leonidas to handle the wall. The potent weakened me, while making the wall passable for anyone who could teleport, and as Ocean has confirmed to me Alexandros can. Their plan must have worked because I felt the powers at the wall when we got there. Leonidas find it hard to believe that cunt could have done something like that, but I told him we had more important things to handle.

I do not know why Alexandros would want to go to the deserted lands, the barbarian king will kill him on sight. I stationed most of my men at the wall with the local guards. I need to inform father of the new development here so I walked back to the castle but stopped when I heard a thud sound in the well near the market. Since I put the wall up, I am connected to the soil, water, mountains and most other things in this village. I teleported there, hen immediately use my power to lift up the figure in the well, I see her eyes while she shivered.

She looks pale, her lips part a little giving way for her to still breath. Her lashes hold tiny drop of water, while her face is also wet from the well. I gathered her in my arms before teleporting back to my bed chambers. It still looks disheveled from our torture. I placed her wet body on the bed then summon a maid. The head servant herself walks in, and I instruct her to help the cunt change her dress. Afterwards she left, I sat down on the chair by the table waiting for her to wake up.

I see the sun wake up like every other day, not too bright for to snow to thaw, I walk into the bathe chambers, I stripped then bathe. I stood by the chest picking a new shirt to wear when she stirred awake. I turned to face her, while waiting for her gaze to fall on me. She jerks up, turning her head around before seeing me. She screamed in horror or so it seemed, alas there is no sound coming from her. She massaged her throat, then tried to say something again but nothing came out.

My eyes cloud with tears as I tried again after sometime to scream but nothing comes out. How am I still alive, what is this now, all these thoughts raced through my mind, and the sight of him again. I begin to cry hard, while looking away from his cold eyes, all I see in his eyes is hatred, death. Who saved me, I knew I jumped into the well, what happened……and as if he could read my thoughts,

“I saved you, but not because I wanted to, but because I had to save you. You cannot die like that, you must die by my hands”! I said to her after seeing her eyes wonder around like she wanted to know who saved her. She retreats to the far corner of the room at the sound of my voice.

I gripped her throat using my powers from where I stand making her choke on the air she breath. He hands flee to her throat, trying to do something, then she stretched her hand out trying to reach me but I was too far from her for her hands to touch me………I see her eyes begin to flick, a lone tear running down her face……….

Then i heard footstep outside the door, and soon the door opened. I catch the sight of the bladed whip launched at me, using my hand to stop it from hitting me. Yes, she is back……why do the gods always save her from me……
