Chapter 10: A Deal with the Devil
Cassian felt his soul leaving his body, and with every serious look, the prince gave him only made his heart beat like a drum, he would not be shocked if his heart came out from his chest any moment.
Damm! He just wanted to help these flowers, he was already fascinated by the beauty of this garden as he had loved flowers and brushes from a young age. But who knows that it will actually lead him in such a situation. Now he really wants to cry.
"Please, Sir " Cassian pleaded with his voice barely above a whisper, even though he didn't how much he begged this man from the day he stepped foot in this palace, his luck seem to be really rotten in front of him. "I didn't mean any harm. I didn't know..."
Dorian leaned towards him making Cassian lean backward, Dorian's lips curled into a sinister grin. "There is no excuse for ignorance, little gardener. The consequences of your actions could be severe. It will give the servant some spicy gossip and would be a talk in the palace like, "A servant found trespassing in the royal gardens was hung....or worse."
What do you think, it will create a new gossip for other servants. Dorian said while raising his eyebrows playfully.
If Cassian was free-minded he would have really appreciated the beautiful brows and their perfect shape, which only enchant his eyes more. But Cassian gives himself a mental slap, that it is not the time to appreciate beauty but to find a way to get out of this situation.
Cassian's eyes started filling with tears from frustration, the fear and panic were overwhelming for him, he didn't want to be hanged and become a gossip for others. "Please... I'm sorry... I didn't know..."
Dorian straightened up from his previous position and Cassian finally breathed a little because the close presence of Dorian was making him nervous.
Cassian looked at the wicked smile on Dorian's face and felt a shivers all over his body.
