"Your highness, please save .'' She pleaded again, only then did I realise we were looking in each other's eyes for a while. His eyes had so many emotions that for a mont I felt lost.
"You are safe here, lady Isabella," he said. I had to stifle a laugh when Isabella's expressions turned stiff.
Her clothes were torn, and she was beaten, yet Cassius said she was safe with such confidence, what was the definition of safe in his vocabulary!
"Your highness, her highness had slapped , multiple tis, she was even trying to strangle , she had gone crazy, she is not in her senses anymore." she said in between her sobs, i had to say, it was a perfect plan.
If I had been at Cassius's place, I would have believed her words too. Since she was locked in the room all the ti and no one had co in except her father and , so everyone's suspicion would go on , no one would even think that she had beaten herself, after all, which sane person would do that!
That was the most risky, crazy yet effective plan to do so, now that i think about it, in the past i was blad to hurt her many tis, and my mory of that ti was hazy, had i really hurt her, or just like today it was all her plan since the start.
What a fool I had been, if that was the case!
"Look at my face, even the blood has filled my mouth many tis with the impact of her hands." she continued sobbing while Cassius stood there silently.
I had to think of a solution soon, otherwise I would fall into her trap once again.
But would he believe if i say i had not done this.
"Your highness" he raised a hand in the air before I could speak further.
Isabella smirked from behind him and my fingers clenched into a fist, if Cassius did not even listen to , there was no way I could prove that she was in the condition before I ca here.
I looked at the guard who was standing there all the ti, now he was my last hope.
His eyes t mine and he bowed, avoiding my eyes, it was clear he did not want to be part of this ss.
"Cassius" i took his na but before i could speak further he spoke,
"Marianne was not the one, who had beaten you." His words not only surprised but even Isabella was visibly shaken.
"Your highness, Cassius, she is the one, there was no one else who was here, she is the one" she said looking more pitiful than before.
"I agree, but she ca here, just a few minutes ago." he added, and we both furrowed our brows. Few minutes were enough for slapping, isn't it?
"But she started beating the mont she entered, I was laying there, she held by my sleeves forcefully, it even tore my dress. Then she jerked on my feet, and before I could process what was happening, she started beating . I pleaded to her to not beat , but she did not listen.
But you just entered at the right ti, you are the one who can save from her craziness." She made a good story with enough proof.
There were nail marks in her hands, where she was pointing that I had held her. I wonder how could soone inflict so much pain on themselves just to win the fake sympathy, and to insult others.
"So that would be the ti when your face and hands bled, lady Isabella." he asked with a much softer tone this ti.
Was he finally convinced by her!
Isabella nodded, "yes, her hands had enough force that made bled." her tears still flowing like a broken dam.
"Lady Isabella, as you said, she was the one who had beaten you just a few monts ago, then tell one thing, how is the blood dried so fast." he asked, touching her hands and showing the marks of nails that had dried blood around it.
But what my eyes noticed was not dried blood, but the way he was holding her, he was holding the sleeves and pointing at the mark from distance, trying his best not to touch as if touching her would dirty his hands.
Even his expression, sothing was not right, if they were in a physical relationship, then why was he so reluctant to touch her, and why was he supporting instead of her.
It looked like the matter was not that clear as I had thought.
"The blood, my blood dries easily, due to the air, and temperature." really, such a la excuse was left to her, now!
"In that case, why don't we call a physician to check your wounds, and let him decide how much ti had passed, when the blood seeped out of your injuries." he added, nodding his head.
Was he serious, he was going to call a physician, that would make the matter public, and everyone would know what happened here.
"Your highness, that would not be needed, it's such a small scratch, they will heal automatically," she replied as she tried to cover her wounds.
"But we are not calling the physician to tend to your wounds, we are calling him to know if your blood is as special as you said, that the wounds dried in a few seconds, even the blood on your face, lady Isabella is completely dried, normally it take almost an hour to be it like that, as the underground area had no air, as you claid.'' I must say, that was a perfect insult, but the point was why!
"My lord, if you look closely, you will see, that's not the case," she added, walking closer to him when she was already just an inch away. I thought I had to see the nauseous drama of their public affection but what happened stunned .
Cassius rcilessly jerked and pushed her, making her fall on the ground.
