Chapter 151: Leaving Maximus
Alexandra watched Arioch’s face turning serious and his hands reached for the sword on his waist.
"Arioch," Alexandra grabbed his hand only for his face to contort with displeasure. "I know what to do," she said but as she expected he was not listening to him.
"Stop," she pulled his sleeve to grab his attention. "Everyone saw me riding Kefir and everyone knows I am the Brute’s wife. Ride with me on Kefir, Arioch," she said, knowing full well that this is an offer he cannot refuse.
Luke likes pomp and ceremonies. He loves giving the extra flair to elevate him. He loves getting worshiped and there is nothing else he cares about as long as he has people worship him.
"How?" Arioch looked at her. He very much loved her idea.
The idea that the Emperor’s woman left with another man, that too the leader of the resistance in the middle of the night, will be a great blow to someone who occupies his position on the throne.
"Watch this," Alexandra smiled sweetly. "KEFIR!" she shouted for the winged lion to hear.
Well, shouting is not necessary. Arioch knew that and he looked at her weirdly. He could see that she is different from their previous life and the only reason she is acting familiar with him and trusting him is that she is under the impression that he is that guy.
He hated this face and bearing the face of that man, but he needs to find solace in the fact that at least she is supporting him.
In the previous life, she didn’t let him use the Orb and stopped him from touching it. But this life, she has no problem letting him unleash the darkness. Well, she says that she is caring for the lives of humans, but she is too stupid to do anything about it.
But as long as he has the support of two of the strongest forces, and if they could convince the King of the Nandor Elves, he could rule the realm as he always dreamed of.
Arioch looked up as he heard a slight rumble and as he watched saw the roof collapsing. He immediately darted to the side to protect himself.
