Chapter 390: Torture (1)
"My father will come after you, Beatrice, and Rafael for this. You’ll be on the run again. You think they’ll let you get away with harming their heir?" Travis asked, watching River who backed him. "I’ve been keeping in touch with them to let them know I am untouched and the moment that letter does not reach them, they’ll be coming here."
There was a pounding pain in his head from River punching him and then the knights weren’t too kind with how they tossed him into the shabby room he was in now.
Travis looked around for any kind of escape, but there was only one door and he had no idea where he was to run out for help. River had not left him alone for a second since they came here. River was placing something on a table and Travis knew it had to be something to torture him.
He would still have the upper hand if Solomon had not betrayed him. He hoped the bastard was long dead and no one would properly bury his body.
"This is all your fault. If you had not seduced my sister, looking to get in the bed of a woman far above your status, none of this would have happened. Everything said about her is because of you. How you soiled her before she got married. Had no home of your own to take her to," said Travis, chanting insults River should be no stranger to.
He wanted River to say something so he would know his fate. The silence was killing him right now.
What could be so important that River was not speaking to him?
"You can still live if you let me go now. I’ll give you a head start to run before my family starts to hunt you down-"
River’s laughter caused Travis to stop. What was so funny about what he said? Was he laughing at the power of the Normans? A knight was laughing at him?
