Chapter 35
Your eyes widen at what Jarta had said. Jarta was a very calm person who hated shedding blood of innocent people. You turn to Aileen to confirm whether or not she knew. She nodded. You then realized you were in a dangerous position. You grab Aileen and run back into the room you were in moments ago.
Meanwhile...
Rhys was trying so hard to maintain composure. It wasn't the impending war that made him angry. It was the fact Jarta knew of the contract you had made with him. With that contract, Rhys can't lay a finger on Aux without risking the chance of you requesting divorce. Even if he were not to do anything, it would Jarta leeway to overthrow him and that means he isn't in a position that can keep you near him.
"So Rhys," Jarta smiles. "What are you going to do?"
"Who told you? F/n hadn't been in contact with you for a while." Rhys screamed
"Oh, just a little white dove told me." He stares at Eremius. Rhys looks at him and glares. Eremius merely smiles. Before Rhys can say anything further, Jarta cuts him off.
"So once again Rhys, what are you going to do?"
Back to you
"Is this what you meant Aileen?" You ask. "That you would try to get me out?"
"Eremius told us about the contents of the blood contract. Jarta then suggested the idea of starting war. He said he was bluffing. Not planning on actually letting blood shed. We hope that Rhys will let you go peacefully so-"
"You idiots! That man would kill anyone who dared make eye contact with me! I can divorce him if the war actually happens, but that doesn't mean he will just stop. He will burn Aux to the ground if it means he can have me." You run to the door.
"What are you doing?" Aileen yells grasping your arm.
"Putting an end to this. Aileen, thank you for trying to help, but I accepted my fate." You wrench free and run to the other room. When you open the door. You see all three men engaged in a sword fight.
