"You are my wife! You have bedroom duties to fulfill. Whether you like it or not, you will fulfill them!" Luke pulled against her legs in an effort to spread them.
Alexis struggled. She couldn't take it anymore.
Just because she had lost her cultivating ability did not an that she had lost her will or her pride.
With a knee to his groin area, she kicked upwards.
It was swift kick.
"Uhhh!!!" Luke's eyes widened as his hands instinctively went in defence of his groin.
Like a lumbered tree, he fell to the ground, massaging the assaulted region.
That kick had hit hard.
So hard that he even found it straining to talk.
"How dare...!?" Veins popped on his skin at the forced it out of his mouth.
However Alexis had better worries of her own.
*Cough! * Cough!!*
He coughed up blood to the side again and again and her face looked even paler.
Seeing this, he imdiately rushed to his feet.
With one hand still massaging his groin, he stretched for her.
"I'm sorry my love! I'm really sorry!! I don't know what got the better of . I only wanted to show you how much I love."
He tried to touch her, but she slapped his hand away.
"Get out!" She muttered under her uncomfortable sharp breaths.
"My love, I..."
"I said, GET OUT!!" She scread.
Hearing her screams, so guards ran into the room.
Each of the with robes that had the insignia of the three legged Crow on their chest.
They were surprised when they entered and saw both their family 'princess' and her husband on the ground.
Imdiately one of them went to help Alexis up, while the other went to help Luke to his feet.
"Lady Alexis are you alright!?"
"Young Master Luke, are you okay!?"
Alexis let the guard help her up, but Luke shook the Guard away.
"Leave alone! It's nothing. Just a lovers quarrel," he stood to his feet.
"I'm I right?" Luke gave her a piercing look with an obviously forced smile.
She frowned, but let it slide, "yes! It's just a little 'lovers' quarrel."
*Cough!* "Give my wife here her elixer. Her body is feeling quite weak. Now, if you will excuse my lady. I need to take a walk."
Like he had noodles for legs, he wobbled strenuously out of the room.
"Thank you!" Alexis muttered as she got into her bed with the help of the guards.
A bottle was handed over to her. When it was opened, the sll that whiffed into her nose made her frown a bit.
Even after all this ti, she still had not gotten used to the sll of this elixer.
She took so of it, which made her frown even uglier than before.
Her cheeks got redder and her completion better. Also, her breathing had steadied up.
After ensuring everything was Okay, they bowed at her respectfully before they left.
Once the door was closed behind them, she sighed as she muttered lowly, "I need to get that Anchor stone!"
The Wardrobe was pushed open and her maid ca through, "yes, my lady!"
Alexis suddenly turned to her, "get my things together, I leave by midnight!"
"Yes! My lady."
A few hours a later into the night....
*Knock!* Knock!!* Knock!!!*
"Who is it!?"
"It's your darling father. I ca to check your health. I heard that you and your husband had another argunt, and I was thinking maybe I could share so advice. You know, I and your mother used to fight all the ti. The three legged Crow bless her soul. I believe I can share so of my wisdom with you."
"No! Go away!! I don't want to see anyone. I want to be alone."
"Co on now, don't say that. I know you are still mad at concerning the marriage but I am not just your father, I am also a GrandDuke. As I have a duty to you, I also have a duty to those that have co before ! Why don't I co in and we can talk about this."
"No! Go away!! I want to be on my own."
"Okay! Okay!! I understand," GrandDuke Isaac had a saddened look on his face.
He sighed lowly. Since the cultivation accident, it felt as if the gap between himself and his daughter had been spreading even further apart.
It hurt his heart a lot.
After her mother passed away, she was the only one he had.
Of course, as a GrandDuke of the Almace Kingdom, he had a variety of won that would drop their pants and bras for him if he so much as coughed that he was searching for another woman.
However, he was a man of old traditions. One of which was to remain faithful to his wife, even in death.
There were those that saw this as a very honourable move, and they were others that saw him as a fool.
But he had so much power, and even within the kingdom, he was only under the King.
He did not need their respect or sha. All of that was of no worth to him.
He was already at the top.
The talk of those beneath him was useless trash.
Besides, in his heart, he believed that his wife still lived on.
She lived on in their daughter.
Every smile and every hug, every mont spent together and every mont with thoughts of her in his head.
It all reminder him of his wife.
But it had been different recently.
At least after the accident was better.
But forcing her to marry Luke might have broken the bridge between the both of them.
He turned about and without opening the door to check, he walked away.
Unknown to him, the person answering from behind the door the whole ti was not Alexis, his daughter. But rather the maid.
At the mont she was wrapped in a blanket on Alexis's bed, trying her best to maintain faking the voice.
It was not until two days later she was caught and the entire ho of the GrandDuke entered a panic.
By then, Alexis was long on her way to the Snake Forest.
However, the Isaac family with the Three legged Crow were not the only one with an uproar.
The entire kingdom was currently in an uproar.
Even the other GrandDukes and the Monastery of Heaven's Judgent. A place of renowned strength and respect had their own plans for the Snake Forest.
Two important occasions were happening.
The King's purge, and the opening of the Dungeon with an Anchor stone in it.
anwhile at the mont, Lady Frostbite stared at the Guillotine in the distance.
It looked as rusted and dirty as ever. However, its blade proved that the sight of rust was just blood from the past butchering of heads...
(Author's note: sorry for late release guys, exam on my mind...)
