Among us

You may speak Lucian said after leading the soldier into a tent.

Sire this man has been spying on the lady, lady Andronika anytime you or Lucian aren't around her, the soldier replied.

And how do you know this, Damian questioned with a raised brow.

Earlier today we saw him around the bath house when the lady was using it, the soldier said with his once confident voice diminishing with every word he said, he shrieked in fear as the man in front of him stared at him in anger.

And why am I hearing about it just now, Damian said with his voice slightly louder than normal.

I I I... confronted him sire but he said he saw something and came to make dure nothing would attack the lady but it saw him around her tent again peeking through the window, so I followed him he noticed my presence and started to runaway, but I caught up with him and dragged him back here Sire.

Damian looked at the soldier infront of him who was almost on his knees, he then turned to Lucian and passed a silent message through his eyes Lucian nodded and went outside and infront of everyone killed the criminal and asked the soldiers to dispose of his body.

He then turned to the crowd and said this is not your town's local marriage but the camp your master Damian and the next time any of you causes such a ruckus again, you will meet the same fate as this traitor, this is a warning, he said and dismissed the crowd.

Throughout that day the execution of the traitor was all anyone could talk about, Andronika also heard it from the maids, why were people targeting her, did she make a wrong move by coming out of the Samaras house, she asked herself but decided to take her mind off it by looking for Lucian to talk with him.

She found him with Damian in usual, Lucian spoke first and said, I was just about to come see you, why aren't you in bed.

I'm better and besides I need fresh air Sullivan recommended it, she said.

Sullivan, Damian repeated. Yes, I replied. He said I could call him that.

Hmmm, you're friends with all the men here, he said. what is that supposed to mean Andronika said in anger, i don't know what problem you have with me but I won't tolerate you talking to me like that, I came to see Lucian not you, so why must you insult me and with that she walked.

Was that statement necessary, Lucian asked.

I didn't mean it that way, Damian replied. Lucian just rolled his eyes and started to walk away.

Where are you going Lucian, Damian asked. To talk to her, something you should be doing and I had something to tell anyway, Lucian said and walked out.
