64 The Maid Rescue (1/2)

A few minutes ago.

\”That damn guy ruined my mood! Now I need to relax and have some fun...\” Julius walked through the castle corridors complaining about Lucien while his royal guards followed him in silence.

As soon as he got close to his room, he heard a woman arguing with the guard watching the door.

\”She is begging for water! Can't you let me just give her a glass? What kind of cruelty is this?\” The woman dressed as a maid begged the guard while holding a jug of water and a glass.

\”Kara, you know that I respect your uncle, but there are things that even he can't do... She has offended the King, and now nobody can help her.\” The guard looked fondly at the maid. Not only did he find her very cute, but he also respected her uncle. He didn't want to see her in trouble, but the girl was stubborn...

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

\”Please!! Just a little water! There is nothing I can drink here.\” Kara became more and more sad as she heard the knock on the door, and the woman begging for water.

The guard said that the King ordered not to let her leave the room, but not giving her water seemed too cruel, and Kara wanted to help the poor woman.

\”The King doesn't need to know. It will be just a glass of wa-\” Kara continued to beg the guard when they heard footsteps behind them.

\”I don't need to know? When did you become so bold, Kara?\” Julius surprised Kara when he arrived at the worst possible time.

\”My King, she's just asking for some water. Please...\” Kara bowed as she pleaded the King. She couldn't see another person in such a pitiful state and not help.

The royal guard at the door tried to send Kara away before things took a dangerous turn for the worse. Nobody believed that the King would hurt the niece of his most loyal servant, but... The guard at the door knew that the King was capable of anything...

\”My King, she doesn't know what she is talking about. Kara, go bac-\” Before the guard could finish speaking, the King made a face and raised his hand. The guard was quiet as he knew the situation was already hopeless.

The King hated when people did not obey his orders and did not like anyone speaking openly without proper respect. \”She just wants to take water to the bitch, right? I see no problem with that. Come on, Kara.\”

The guard saw the King reach his hand on Kara's shoulder and panicked. He didn't know how he was going to tell his friend that the King abused his niece...

He also liked the cute girl very much and knew that no good would happen inside the room. Even though he knew the King would punish him, he still begged.

\”My King, the Spymaster would be upset if something happened to his niece... Why don't you have fun with that woman while I bring another sexier women to you?\”

This time the King was annoyed with the guard and spoke in an oppressive tone. \”What do you mean? I will not hurt this cute girl. I'll just care for her while Spymaster is on a mission...\”

\”Kara! Run now!\” The guard didn't even think to draw his sword because there were several other guards with the King, but he still tried to get in front of Julius while sending the maid to run.

Kara still didn't understand what situation she was in. She was an innocent girl who was still 16 years old and was always protected from everything by her uncle after her parents died. She didn't run, and a guard held her arm.

\”Insolence! Guards, give this idiot due treatment for insulting his King.\” The King was already in a bad mood with everything that had happened with Lucien and Cassidy... Now his guard was revolting like this...

He would have to release his anger out on someone or something to be able to relax... A girl as young and soft as Kara would be a nice and easy target to release his fury on..

While some guards held the door guard, the King held Kara's arm while he pulled her into the room.

He also threw the jug of water on the floor while speaking with a strange smile on his face. \”You don't need water... I will give you another liquid, which you will love.\”

The guard did not understand how the King could be so insane. Spymaster was an excellent servant, but the King couldn't even spare his innocent niece... The man could not do anything while the other guards started beating him up.

The guards had nothing against their mate, but they saw no reason to offend the King just because of a little maid. They started beating the poor man without knowing what was fast approaching them...

\”Yo-\” One of the guards prepared to kick the poor man in the stomach, but... When he lifted his leg, his blood gushed onto his companion's face... Not the blood of the guard on the floor, but the attacker's blood.

\”AAAARR!!\” The first guard to scream was not the one who lost his leg to the red blade, but the one who had the blood on his face before being kicked toward the door.

*Creack*

The door to the King's room was broken by the guard who kept flying until he hit the wall and passed out. That door was really tough, and the guard broke almost every bone in his body due to Lucien's violent kick.

Lucien did not wait for the guards to react and punched the remaining three. The guards were unable to react to Lucien's high speed and were lucky not to die as Lucien was taking it easy just by knocking them out.

He actually wanted to kill the guards, as he was furious at the King. Lucien could hear Kara's tears falling to the floor as he saw through the broken door the King holding her by her hair.

Lucien was not a hero, but he was unable to stand still when he heard the King intimidating the young maid. Not only was he fond of women in general, but he also heard she was Spymaster's niece, who looked like a very reasonable man, and a possible good ally.
