Chapter 45: Chapter 45

"Does he show any sign of waking?" an old woman asked a young girl who was applying herbs on a body.

"No mother. I wonder who had such hearts to use the death powder poison on him" the young girl said with a sigh and stared at the young man her brother had brought up and pleaded they look after.

Her brother had refused to tell them who he was but insisted they take care of him and since her mother was the daughter of a medicine man, she knew the herbs to apply on him.

The girl's eyes remained on the sick man's handsome face. Even in his pale state, he still looked like a war god.

She roamed her eyes all over his body and noticed his fingers slightly move.

She was sure she didn't touch him, meaning he moved his fingers by himself.

"Mother!!!!!" She scream aloud and her mother rushed out of the cottage.

"What is it, Rosanne? Why do you scream my name in such a manner?" The woman scolded.

"Mother he moved his hands, he just moved his hands" Rosanne grinned pointing at the hands that just moved.

"Are you sure about this Rosanne?" Her mother asked in disbelief.

She knew the poison in his system was a deadly poison and no one survives a day with it but this man her son brought had stayed two months without the poison killing him.

Moving his hands meant he has begun drawing nearer and he would soon be up" Rosanne's mother muttered to her daughter.

"Cover him up and let him be, he must be fighting wherever he is now"

"Okay mother" Rosanne grinned picking up the wrapper to cover him up.

Master Robin sat in his bed, his heart was still raging. He had sent out different guards to search around for Galene and had even asked them to look for her in her father's house but they all came back with the same word, "she was nowhere to be found".

He couldn't bear to lose her when he had not taken what he want from her.

He pulled out the pipe from his mouth and blew the thick smoke out.

"Guard!

"Yes my Lord" a guard answered coming into the room. He bowed and awaited the instruction.

Release Mariam and bring her to me" he uttered.

"Yes Master".

Mariam sat on the cold floor of the dungeon. She couldn't believe Robin would throw her into the dungeon just because of Galene.

Even if she had a hand in Galene's disappearance, was that enough reason to throw her into the dungeon?

She never knew how awful the dungeon was until she was thrown into it.

It was so dark and lots of insects were present in it crawling on her body.

She would scream out loud when the insects make sounds and when any of them crawl on her body, she would tell out her lungs.

She couldn't believe after everything she did for Robin, he would treat her in such an inhumane way.

Who knows how long he would stay in this horrible place with no food and water.

The worst was she couldn't even tell if it was night or morning as the whole place was pitch dark scaring the life off her.

"I would never forgive that Galene if she ever return to this castle and as for Robin, I would make sure he pays dearly for this" she vowed.

She was about to lay down when she heard a key click and the dungeon door opened.

She felt footsteps coming in and the flashed light on her. Grabbing her hands, they dragged her out of the dungeon and began walking to the master's chambers.

"Where are you taking me to? Free me for I do not want to go to that chamber" Mariam yelled but the guards ignored her and continued pulling her.

They got to the master's chamber and threw her Inside. Mariam staggered and balanced her weight.

She looked up to Master Robin in fury. Stomping her feet, she marched to him.

"You dare throw me into the dungeon for something I did not do all because of that Galene" she yelled but Master Robin ignored her.

"She has charmed you also, right? I know and I see the way you look at her. Just the same way she charmed and hooked master Damien, she has done the same to you that you had to accuse and throw me into the dungeon just because she-

Master Robin didn't let her finish her statement before landing a resounding slap on her cheek.

"How dare you speak to me in such a tone? Have you lost your senses?" Master Robin asked in a hard tone.

Anger surged through him. "Do you think you are anywhere better than her? Do you ever think you can possess any of the features she possessed? Have you looked at her with normal eyes and not that of jealousy yet?

Even with her pregnancy, she still looked ten times better and sexier than a bag of sand like you" Master Robin taunted.

Mariam could not believe her ears, was master Robin throwing Insults at her all because of Galene?

"You are only meant for pleasure and pleasure you shall give me now," Master Robin said and grabbed her right breast, squeezing it hard.

Mariam yanked his hands off her. "I would never give my body to you again" she shrieked and master Robin hit her across the face.

Mariam could taste the blood in her mouth. She tried to step away from him but he grabbed her, yanking her robe off her to reveal her in her underpants.

"You are my Subject and you have no right to tell me what to do and what not to do with your body," Master Robin said and dragged her by her hair towards the bed.

He yanked off the remaining piece of clothing shielding her womanhood and without preamble, he forcefully plunged himself into her, burying all his size in her.

Mariam screamed in pain and try to wriggle out of his hold, master Robin yanked her hair hard, trying to pull them out of the root as he banged into her.

Mariam scream and wailed. She could not believe Robin was forcefully taking her.

He was molesting her. What has she done to herself?" She was blinded by the jealousy she had for Galene and had betrayed her just to become the master's wife.

Now that she helped him get what he wants, he was refusing to make her his wife for no actual reason. Now she had seen he only wanted Galene and has been waiting for her to be put to bed so he could claim her forcefully.

She scream as he kept on hitting and damaging her womanhood. She was too pained to feel any pleasure and all she felt was pain and anguish.

Master Robin soon finish and tossed her aside. He got up, wore his robe, and walked out of the room leaving Mariam writhing in pain.

Master Robin got out of the chamber satisfied. He had figured out a way to silence Mariam and only use her for pleasure.

She didn't pleasure him today and he guess he would be needing new mistresses.

"Assemble some girls for me, I think I would be needing some mistresses" master Robin said to the guards once he was outside his chamber.

"And take that deranged dog out of my chamber. Make a room available for her, I would no longer accommodate her in mine" he added and walked away.

The guards set out to gather beautiful girls for the master. Two guards went into the chamber to bundle Mariam out.

Mariam glanced up when she heard a footstep. She gasps and quickly covered herself with the bedspread.

She was still sprawl on the bed whimpering and had no idea when the guards walked in.

"How dare you barge in here, do you not know how to know?" She yelled, her voice rising.

"Master Robin had ordered we bundle you out of his chambers. He said he would be getting new mistresses and won't need you to share the room with him so come with us" one of the guards said and Mariam's heart for a second paused.

W.wha..t are y.. you talking about" Mariam stuttered, staring at the guards with a shocked expression.

"You have to get up now or we would force you up," the other guard said rolling his eyes.

Mariam raises her hands to slap him but the other dropped it forcefully and slapped her hard across the cheek.

They both dragged her off the bed not minding her naked state. They began dragging her out and she began begging and apologizing to wear her clothes.

They let her wear her clothes and they didn't have to drag her again because she obediently followed them.

They walked down the hallway and got to a door, opened it, and ordered her in.

The room was so little, even more little than the one she once shared with Luciana and co.

This room was as small as a cat hole. It had only one bed which was tiny and when wondered if it would even accommodate her.

She sat on the bed and it made a squeaky sound.

Tears flow down her eyes as her eyes dance around the room. There was nothing else in the room apart from the bed and a broom which was at the corner of the wall.

She wondered if someone had been living in that cage called room before or was she the first to be thrown into it? She couldn't help but ask aloud.

If only she could turn back the hands of the clock, she would have killed off her jealousy for Galene.

If only she knew, she wouldn't have listened to him when he came to ask for her help in taking out master Damien.

But he had promised her a lot of things and she foolishly agreed to his words, falling into his cunning hole.

Now, he has used her, dumped her at cast her out like some piece of unwanted trash.

The tears rolled down freely, drenching her robe.

She remembered how she used to parade herself around the castle as the lady of the clan and how she had maltreated the servants.

Now, nemesis has caught up with her and she has been cast out like an unwanted pig.

How would she face the servants especially Diana and Luciana whom she had treated in the worse ways?

They would not hesitate to pluck off her eyes if they ever see her. For betraying their friend and maltreating her.

"Robin! You would never go Scot free, I would make sure I expose your evil deeds.

You think you can deceive me, use me, and they cast me out.

If I must go down then you must come down with me" Mariam swore, her eyes holding all the emotions.

*******

The guards soon returned with 10 beautiful maidens for master Robin to choose among them.

Master Robin sat down, swirling a cup of wine around his hands as he blows out smoke from his pipe.

"They are here my lord" a guard bowed and informed him about the arrival of the maidens.

"One many of them?"

"Ten of them my Lord?"

"Bring them in" he ordered and the guard nodded and ushered in the girls.

They all walked in and stood in a straight line. Master Robin began feeding his eyes on them one after the other.

He must give some accolades to the guards for bringing in beautiful ladies but none of them could beat Galene.

He has never seen an ethereal beauty like Galene's and he was not sure if there would be anyone else with such beauty.

He stared at the girls for a while as they turned and show their access to him.

He stood up and dropped his wine cup then walked over to the girls.

He stood in front of the first girl and squeezed her breast.

"Not full, go" he ordered in a hard tone and the girl scurried away.

He walked to the second girl and fondled her breasts.

Step aside" he said and the girl smiled and stepped aside. She was happy the master picked her.

"Master Damien walked over to the third girl and as he did to others, he squeezed her breast and frowned.

"What's this? Do you want to feed me stones?" He yelled.

"No my Lord, I'm sorry my Lord"

"Get lost" he ordered.

He continued pressing their breasts to weigh the sizes he wants and after going through the ten girls, he succeeded in picking out three then he sent the remaining seven back.

"Next time, always check their breasts and not just their faces. Next time you bring me, girls, with stones as breasts, I would not hesitate to end you" Master Robin scolded the guards.

"I'm sorry my Lord, it won't happen again" the guard apologized.

"Take them and clean them up, send one of them to my chamber when they are done" he ordered and walked out of the hall.
