The lord of Groan sneered then nattered those words to put him under pressure as he earned friends like them threatening him this way could please him. Only by forcing them to get involved in his situation.
Zooland walked to Arda, his mouth neared to his ears, whispering, "This time you gained luck, and otherwise I would behead you in the middle of forum to make a lesson out of you to the rest of useless rats, it's been four days till now and no news of my son".
Arda swallowed, knew that he is serious about beheading him, bitterly smiled and guessed, "Your highness, my head belongs to you, but don't you think maybe Mohan has hidden him as reve…" His Lord interrupted him, raised his palm up near his mouth.
"Hushhh…Quiet, Arda if you keep talking, instead I may cut off your tongue right here!" He pressed his jaw and the words were coming out between his pressed teeth.
The Lord have gotten an expanded body shape. Tall and seemed he just reached fifty. Unlike Arda's bald head he had thick gray hairs. His dark green eyes had no shine to let you think that he got some heart emotions! Then ignored him completely and walked to his uninvited guests and said, "If I knew that Daniel Ray is going to give us a pleasure of coming here I would defiantly play a feast although it was the at least, but unfortunately my son has missed and I may recommend you an offer instead, bring me my son and earn one hundred gold coins, no wise man would reject that!"
Mohan frowned couldn't endure this. It teased his ears and knew that his fellowships already stuck with a tough situation because of his enmity with this court of bastards. He rolled his head up although peering at him and watching that greedy face was an enough reason to make him feel queasy.
"To reject the money you may consider this as a favor from my friends who came all the way here to help out and kill the monsters so there's no exceptions even for the Lord of Groan," Mohan Enunciated and the Lord was burning inside, although he already got informed about that Marcus and Mohan have something more than quiet well relation.
Sometimes he felt that might be because he got married to Mohan's ex-girlfriend and Marcus is son of his loving woman. He would give his life to keep him safe. But sometimes doubted and the reason was his kind hearted son. Mohan was almost Thirty three and not enough man to catch a woman just as the lord thought.
"Thank you for this warm greeting of yours, but we don't need coins to help your people," Daniel responded as he was leading his team yet no smile tagged on his face since entering his throne hall.
"Damn you and your bullshit throne! You made Lorena in pain, if we weren't have to wait till the right time I would rip your ass off right here mother…" Arno thought and clenched his fist, standing right behind Lorena. His eyes fixed on her the much that Silman who was standing beside him realized that.
This lord of Groan was another snake in the grass, well changed color and concealed to attack. He washed people's brain and hidden behind his popularity in the capital town of dead hearted humans. He got furious after seeing Lora suffering because of them.
"A real son of your father, just like him keeping your rich head up proudly", Zooland knew that this isn't true as long as he knew Mocker Ray is a greedy and besides stingy noble man among all. He paused for a while curious about Daniel's intention for helping others. He might know Lug and works for him. He opened his mouth to bring up that suspicious question, but a soft voice soaked in remorse stopped him.
"Where is my son Arda?" She asked.
"She must be Dena", Everin directed smoothly to the girls beside her with a low tune.
Mohan turned his face to her. His heart beats races, with those bloated feature plus her crying face still looked beautiful and even more innocent. Uncharted two step back to where his female friends were standing.
"Hushh, relax Mohan, he is watching you," Crystal murmured.
Daniel didn't surprised his guesses were somehow the same what he was witnessing! Although they weren't in Groan to get tangled with personal affairs, but facing a new kind of monsters and becoming ready for an exigent war.
"My loving Dena, my queen! I see that you've joined us". Zooland meant to bother Mohan with that tone. He reached a hand to her, but she ignored and walked to her brother.
Dena's face was pale like someone who just woke up from a horrendous night mare. Her long blond wavy hair laid behind on pink dressing gown she wore.
"Couldn't you find my son brother?" As Arda remained speechless just shook his head and tears left her grayish eyes, seemed more disappointed.
It supposed to be hard for her to stand on her feet, but her gazes caught Mohan between those people. She gathered all the hidden courage didn't care if Zooland kills her right away and strode to Mohan, grabbed his collar.
"I'm begging you Mohan find my son, I know you hate me, but I find no reason to live without him." She plead, her pop-eyed wet eyes could melt stones and bewailed over. Mohan already took his face away from hers. He wasn't able to watch her in sorrow. It gave him mind blowing. The poor woman was too weak so her knees couldn't tolerate standing there, unclenched. She was about to fall, but Everin and Crystal grabbed her by the arms and hips and helped to draw her off him and that pitiful condition. A second later by the order of lord two maidens arrived and fend her off with them.
Mohan had a heart filled by deep grudge towards Zooland, but had no idea if revenge could become a suitable cure to heal his wounds. He believed that the divine court would punish him for all his cruelty and causing a harmful disorder which had consequences beyond them. But revenge could drag more people into the flares of hatred even Arda who would call him brother once may jump into danger and he didn't want that.
