Louisa's POV
"They were in my fucking way!" Lucas shouted back.
I totally lost my temper and shouted, "Why can't you have some sympathy for other people?! Mana and Mata were already injured, but they were still trying to help and protect me. Your soldiers were wounded. They could be recovered and work for you again as soon as their wounds were treated. They were very good at what they were doing! Instead of getting a doctor, you abandoned them in the mountains to let them rot and die like animals!"
Lucas roared, "Why can't you act like a normal woman?! Just shut the fuck up and lick my balls like everyone else?! All you have to do is to stay in my bed like a fucking doll and do what you've been told!"
Zackery held me up in his arms and said, "Listen, why don't we take this into the tent?"
"I'm not going into the tent! I have to treat those soldiers!" I said.
Zackery held me in his arms and said, "Jafar and Zabel will take care of them. Now I need you to go back into your tent before your little vampire friend shifts into a mist of blood and killed everyone."
I gave Lucas a dark look and walked into the tent.
Josephine grabbed my arm and said, "Hey! You can't just walk away like this! You have to explain what she had done!"
I threw her hand away and said, "Jealousy makes people do crazy things, Josephine. You're paranoid right now. Go back to your tent, take a bath, and go to the Moon Goddess' temple this afternoon. Confess your sin to her for being a murderer! Do it before it's too late!"
Then, I took the potion box away from her hands, pushed her away, and walked into the tent.
Will was still in the form of a little bat, holding the frame of the window and looking outside.
He flew to me as soon as he saw me and landed on my shoulder.
"Louisa, let's go away. I can't stay one more minute in this camp," he whispered in my ear.
"All in good time, Will," I kissed his furry little head and said.
He looked very relieved and hid in my hair.
I had to run away from this place and see Darren and Colt. They risked their lives to save me and I had to go to Vincent's castle to make sure they were fine.
Hopefully, Alex would be able to arrange a pick-up carriage for me in time.
He came across as a very reliable person.
Lucas walked into the tent with Zackery and Zabel.
Mana and Mata wanted to come in as well, but they were stopped by the soldiers.
"Go ahead. Help Jafar and Zabel with treating the soldiers. They need your help," I lowered my head and talked to them.
They looked at each other and nodded reluctantly.
"We will be right here for you, Miss."
"If you need any help, just let us know."
I stroked their heads gently and said, "Thank you, guys. And I'm sorry for everything."
"You don't have to apologize to us, Miss."
"We bit our lips. It doesn't hurt that much."
They had such a tolerant and nice nature. I couldn't believe Lucas would kick them like he was kicking stones or balls just like that.
I became even more furious.
At the same time, I knew I had to take them away from Lucas, as far as I could.
"Let's lay some ground rules before we jump into any further discussion," Zackery said to Lucas. "First of all, you have to apologize to my sister for being a dick."
Lucas said with arrogance, "Your Excellency, with all respect, I don't apologize."
"I insist," Zackery said. "You can't get away with slapping and strangling my sister in front of everyone."
"Actually, I can, Your Excellency," Lucas said with a menacing smile. "I can kill everyone outside and walk away as this had never happened."
"You're sick and a psychopath!" I said.
"And you're a fucking annoying troublemaker!" Lucas said.
"OK, rule number two. Do not call each other's name," Zackery said.
"Apologize!" I said.
"Not in a million years!" Lucas said.
"Rule number three, do not interrupt me while I'm speaking," Zackery said.
Both Lucas nor I didn't say anything.
Zackery looked at us and said with a wry look on his face, "I've done my speech. This is the time for you to say something."
"Apologize to me or I'll burn you again!" I shouted.
"If you burn me again, I'll never let you see Finn!" he barked.
"Then I'll run away and you'll never find me!" I shouted.
"If you dare to do that, I'll dig every inch of this kingdom and fucking find you! Then, I'll rip you into a thousand pieces!"
"You!" I tried to jump at him, but my waist was grabbed by Zackery.
"Let go of me!" I kicked my legs and tried to break loose.
"Calm down, little girl. Physical violence never solves anything," Zackery said.
"I don't care! I want him to suffer! I want to wipe that smirk permanently off his stupid face!" I shouted.
Lucas rubbed his forehead and said, "Your Excellency, this is what I have to deal with every day."
Zackery said, "Shut up, Lucas. She's always quiet and civilized. She only loses her temper when she's with you and you're an asshole to make her suffer like this."
"I have done everything for you and you don't even dare to admit that I'm your mate in front of everyone! If you feel ashamed of my existence, why didn't you just reject me?!"
"For my justification, I did reject you as requested by your brother! You didn't accept my rejection! You've got nobody else to blame but yourself!" he said.
"Do it now! Do it again and I'll take your rejection!" I struggled in Zackery's arms.
Lucas stared at me and said in a cold voice, "I won't do it again! I don't feel like rejecting you right now. I may reject you in the future, but not now! You have no right to ask me to do anything!"
"Asshole!" I shouted.
