Chapter 38: Shared Pain
Flavia saw that Felixa is interested in looking at the punishment as she refused to leave the window. She glared at Julius as she didn’t know why Elrick is getting punished for whatever reason this close to the residence.
"Couldn’t you’ve done it elsewhere?" she asked placing her hands on her hips. Her husband can get very irresponsible at times.
"It was His Majesty’s order," Julius shrugged. "He probably wanted to let everyone know that no one can ignore her. Because of Elrick’s blunder, from now on I am demoted to look after her," he didn’t hide his disappointment as he pointed at Felixa.
"Julius!" Flavia hit his arm and turned to look at Felixa. "How can you say this right in front of-"
Flavia’s eyes widened seeing Felixa sliding down the wall holding her chest. Tears were streaming down her face and she was mumbling something.
"Felixa, dear!" Flavia held her arm but she was so out of it.
Leaning closer, Flavia tried to listen to what she is saying but before she could, there was a flash of light. And in that light, Maximus appeared like a ray of sunshine.
"Lexa!"
Maximus picked up Felixa and in a large stride left the place. Flavia followed him. He took her to his room and before Flavia could step in, the door closed in her face.
Maximus laid her on his bed and covered her with the thick fur blanket. She was shivering and the pain she is in... He felt it.
It felt like someone is ripping his soul with a sharp dagger!
«What made you feel this pain?»
