Chapter 382: Settling the past (3)
Siena hoped that River was here to kill Travis so she could leave. She didn’t know where she would go after Travis died since she would not want to stay here, but as long as Travis was dead, she could figure everything out afterwards.
Siena didn’t mind going with the guard because she could sneak out of her bedroom window to get away with Kayla. Travis already looked out of his mind and if he had no tricks to play against River, she didn’t want to be used as a hostage for Travis to get his way out of dying. Her greatest concern now was having the strength to get from her window to the ground floor without hurting herself.
Travis walked out of the room first to get his gun and sword. It was long overdue that he got rid of River. The husband would die while his sister would rot somewhere alone. It would push Rafael away from him, but he would take care of that later.
"All of you idiots better be doing what I paid you for!" Travis yelled as he passed guards running to defend his home.
He didn’t travel with an army to match the number of knights Rafael had since he never planned to fight Rafael, but he had invested in the best fighters to defend him. If River wanted to kill him, he should be a man and do it one on one. Not using Rafael’s knights.
Travis rushed to his study where the gun was put away in case the town guards would ever pay him a visit. He cared little about the law which prevented him from using his gun. Everyone who had their hands on a gun was using it in secret. He would bet that the king enjoyed using guns when no one was around.
Travis entered his study and went straight to a box he didn’t need to lock as his servants knew better than to steal from him unless they wanted to be his target during the night. He opened the box and found the gun just as he had left it with a few bullets for him to use.
After taking up the large gun and the bullets, Travis reached for his sword, but then he spotted his crossbow. He could use the two weapons to kill from afar to remain safe and take a sword from one of his guards if needed.
In the midst of making his decisions, a loud noise was heard from downstairs followed by yelling that he couldn’t make out.
