Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Master Damien got to the boundary where his warriors were clearing out their attackers. He looked on to that the attackers had reduced in number and many of them were laying on the floor dead.

The ones remaining are few in number while none of Master Damien's warriors got scratched.

Master Damien smiled, quite impressed at his warriors strength but he wasn't going to waste anymore time there. He climbed down from his horse, slide out the two swords and started matching towards their attackers who in return charged at him in a rush.

He chuckled a bit at their cowardice and wonder why they all want to lose their life for no reason, but since they all want it that way, he wouldn't mind afterall he enjoys it.

He began slashing his swords between them, cutting them apart and the more they appear at his presence, the more he cut them until they were almost wiped out, if not for few who ran away in fright.

He stare at the floor which was littered with dead bodies and shook his head "clear them" he ordered and got back into his horse and rose out in speed.

"The Master has returned" Lydia squealed alerting the girls, Galene who was deep in her sleep was also woken up by the incessant noise they made.

She groaned and flipped to the other side of the bed covering her eyes to lessen the noise. Oh, she doesn't want any disturbances and she's so tired and want to sleep not hearing about war and the master all the time.

"Can you please lower your voice here, some people are trying to sleep" she shrieked when the noises was becoming too much for her to bear.

She doesn't understand why they should like the master and gush all over him when he killed their father's and took them as slaves yet they don't seem to care about any of that.

"Who are the people trying to sleep that we shouldn't discuss again?" Lydia said rolling her eyes.

Knowing she wouldn't be able to stop them from making noise, Galene annoyingly stood up from the bed and walked out of the room.

She walked through the hallway cursing and lamenting furiously without looking where she was going till her head hit a stone like object.

"Ouch!! She exclaimed running her forehead and massaging it to relief the pain she was feeling there.

She looked up in anger getting ready to yell at whatsoever hit her only for her mouth to hang open tongue when she saw who it was.

Standing before him was Master Damien in all his glory, still dressed in his armour and in his hands was two bloodstained swords.

The thought of him slaying with those swords got her flinching, what if he heard what he had been saying and decided to cut of her head right there.

"Good day Master" she greeted hastily, her lips trembling and legs shaking. She stare at her shoes hoping he didn't hear what she had been saying in anger.

"How could I be so stupid not to look up while walking" Galene mumbled biting her lips.

"Galene is your name right?" Master Damien asked and she nodded with a heavy heart. He doesn't even know her name yet he has hurt her so many times.

"Do you know the consequences of those names you were calling me? And to think you had no fear to curse me out" he said and her heart skipped a beat, her body quivered and she's more than scared. "I'm so finished" she mumbled biting her lips to stop them from quivering.

"D.. Do not take it to....to... heart Master, it was just a joke that I didn't mean" she muttered and stare at her for what seemed like eternity to Galene. She was going to pee on herself if he continues staring at her like that.

Go to my Chambers and wait for me" He finally said after feasting his eyes on her and her heart dropped on hearing what he said.

"But why your chambers Master" she blurted out and his brows creased in surprise as he stare at the lady who had the audacity to ask him questions.

"Sorry Master, I was just been stupid" she gave out a nervous laugh and ran out of his sight into their room breathing hard.

"What have I gotten myself into" she mutter letting out a painful scream then slide down the wall with tears streaming down her eyes.

The girls in the room stare at her with bewildered expression wondering what happened to her this time around.

"What happened to you and why are you lamenting" Mariam asked and came closer to her.

"After I left the room in annoyance because of the too much noises you were all making, I was walking through the hallway while insulting the master and calling him all sorts of names, I even said I hope he doesn't return from the wall, I never knew he was standing there hearing everything I said until I bumped into him" she explained as more tears pour down.

The expression of the girls when she finished explaining to them got her more afraid and she wail more.

"You are really in a very deep trouble, and I think you should start going to his chambers already and wait for him before he gets there" Lydia advices.

"That should sound as a warning to you because you blabbed this earlier and we warned you to not say it again yet you went ahead to say it and now you've landed yourself in a hot fry and I hope he gives you a very good punishment, if at all he wasn't going to kill you" said Luciana.

Galene sniffed and stood up, wiping her tears, there should be no need for her to cry since it wouldn't help anything, he would still do whatever thing he wants to do with her.

She silently walked out of their room and headed to the master's chambers where her fate would be decided.
