When Mika left the office, Joanos had stayed behind to talk to Lord Tasar privately.
"Lord Tasar, I hope you don't think it was wrong of me in suspecting you." Lord Tasar and his family were the last relatives he has in this world, he didn't want to lose them.
"Joanos, though I wish you would've come to me, I understand the reason why you didn't...Just know I will do everything I can to make right this wrong." Lord Tasar pull Joanos into his arms, hugging him close.
"En. I trust you." Joanos pulled away to look straight into Lord Tasar's eyes.
"Thank you. Now I want you to leave the rest to me. What I need you to do is help the guards prepare for war, can you?"
"Of course, Lord Tasar." Joanos left following behind a group of guards heading to the back gates.
At ease to help the household guards check the perimeter as per Lord Tasar instructions, Joanos left like a ton was off his shoulders.
Setting up defensive measures, and checking the gates Joanos happen to see Kerala, who should have been lock up in a secluded room, crouching in one of the outer gardens brushes.
Thinking she was trying to escape, Joanos had Wyn alert the patrolling guards while he went to confront her.
"What is Lady Vanya's personal maid doing without her mistress?..." Joanos had spoken to her back as she was still turned around facing the garden's gate.
Hearing someone's voice, Kerala still before recognition set in.
"Young master Joanos...?" Spinning around Kerala came face to face with her objective, and Joanos was able to see she wasn't alone.
Behind Kerala stood a sweaty, weak and shivering Lixiss.
"Where do you two think you're going?.... Follow me back to Lord Tasar's office right now, before I use force!"
"Young Master Joanos, it's good to see you again. I see you are well, why don't you help me carry Miss Lixiss, she not feeling too well." Kerala smiled wiped away Joanos' good mood to an instant.
"Do I look like I care if Lixiss is feeling unwell? I came to bring you two to Lord Tasar, not to help you!" Joanos couldn't believe his ears. Surely Kerala has already heard that Lord Tasar is looking for them, isn't that why they are here trying to escape?
"Young Master Joanos! How can you say such a thing towards your future wife? Lixiss needs you now more than ever, come help her up..."
Stretching out her hand, Kerala tried to pull Joanos towards Lixiss. Lixiss, hearing that Joanos was going to help her reached out her arms.
"Let go! Are you stupid or just refusing to hear what I'm telling you!? You, Lady Vanya and Lixiss have already been found out by Lord Tasar. There is no way for you to go. Also, stop calling Lixiss my wife, it sickens me." Joanos couldn't believe Kerala and Lixiss audacity. Did they think just because they say they didn't do wrong means everyone will go along with them?
"Joanos! How could you say that to me? I've really been tolerant of you, even when you go to that b**** house, I will forgive you because I know you love me!" Lixiss couldn't take Joanos attitude towards her any longer.
"Love you? HAHAHA...Lixiss, where have you been these past years?...Have you forgotten what you did to me? Have to drugs missed up your mind that badly?..."
"ENOUGH ALREADY! They are dead Joanos, and I'm alive! Why can't you see that? How long are you going to hold on to corpses!?... I am your family now..." Lixiss eyes look deranged as she tried to get Joanos to come to her.
"You're crazy..."
While Joanos and Lixiss were arguing with each other, no one notice Kerala moving off to the side and exiting out the back gate.
By the time, Joanos turned to where she was standing, she was already gone.
"Where is Kerala, Lixiss!?" Joanos spin around looking for Kerala shadow.
"Tsk, do you like Kerala now!? Tell me!" Joanos walked away leaving Lixiss to her own demons.
Searching the garden, Joanos saw the open gate door. Sensing something very terrible was about to happen, Joanos turned to alert the guards When he heard Kerala voice.
"Joanos, where are you going they have things to discuss?" Glancing back at the gate door, Joanos saw Kerala with Lord Kendel and bunch of men standing behind them.
Instinct kicking in, Joanos ran as fast as he could to alert everyone of the enemy arrival.
With one goal on his mind, to alert the Udava clan, Joanos feet never slowed, even as he felt the enemy's footsteps gaining on him.
"Get him, don't let him get away!" Kerala's shout filled the back garden's silence.
"Ugh!" Joanos felt a force plow into him from behind.
Quickly separating himself from his attacker, Joanos unleashed his gifts.
Throwing fast punches and kicks, Joanos was able to take down his unprepared opponent and continue running.
Coming upon the place he last saw the group of guards, Joanos saw Wyn standing there by himself. Worried Wyn, would not be able to fight off these men, he called out to him.
"Wyn! Wyn! Run, you have to run!" Wyn turned around a saw Joanos being chased by several men.
"Young master! What is happen?" Instead of running away like Joanos would have like him to do, Wyn ran towards him.
"No! Don't!..." Seeing Wyn closing the distance between them, Joanos no longer wasted his breath and tried to come up with a way to get them both out of the situation.
Wyn was about ten feet from him when Joanos decided to turn his head and look behind him. Estimating the distance from the men to him, Joanos figures they might be able to make it to the guards at the perimeter.
With Joanos' head turned, he didn't get to see the coldness in Wyn's nor the dagger in his hand.
A sharp pain pierces his body, Joanos looked into the eyes of the man who has been his personal steward for years.
Wyn, the steward, who he finally decided to trust stabs he in the gut.
"Sorry, young master Joanos, this isn't personal." Wyn pulls out the dagger as an arch of blood follows its path.
Pain from the wound and the betrayal brought Joanos to his knees, darkness closes in and he passes out on the cold ground.
"Good, now let's get the girl. Wyn, you know what to do, right?" Kerala stands over Joanos as the blood seeps from his prone body.
"En." Wyn took one last look at Joanos before leading a group of men, towards Miss Mikaela's residence.
