Chapter 284: This Life And The Next... We’re Together (4)
T/W: Death, Fire
***
Who would have thought that it only took a moment before all things changed?
The day was not even a remarkable one, even if it was Ramon’s birthday. Arren had only thought of visiting for a moment and perhaps drinking one or two glasses to give Ramon a face as the birthday boy.
And he was also at ease; he had a lot of bodyguards with him. Another thing was that Arren had never been in a threatening situation; no one would even dare provoke him. Arren also had no enemies, so he was not on guard at all.
Yet, before he noticed it, his body was heating up already, and a sign of his heat arrived. Arren knew right there and then that he was drugged. He was furious at first, but his mind only wanted to call for his bodyguards.
However, a conspiracy had already been set. It didn’t even take long; the place became chaotic at once. Gunshots rang from all over the place, and Arren couldn’t think of anything else as he was on his way to the restroom then, a few individuals blocked him.
One thing he knew: he was injected with a drug again and carried somewhere. That was truly the start of his nightmare.
This was a huge event that shattered the peace of the empire. The emperor’s lover was kidnapped, and not only that, but the bar they were in suffered huge casualties; from royal guards to the nobles, no one was spared.
Even those who survived were in critical condition.
Spade almost went crazy that day; for a whole day, no one could even talk to him as he raged all over the palace. The next day, personally set out to investigate.
