He had kept Agassiz alive the entire time Evil had been pregnant and given birth. But 'alive' was a loose term. She was beaten and tortured daily and only given food once a week. She hadn't been allowed to have her clothing back and she lay naked and dirty on the stone floor. She was never sexually assaulted, Agba made sure of that, because even though she would hate him for the torture in the end she would claim it made her stronger. And he would need her to see him as the lesser evil when she was returned to Rajnos. Now was the time to spring another trap. With her return to the Warlord, she would insist on finding Jarron and Scylla and everyone would have a happy reunion where ever Marca had hidden them. Agba called to one of his guards and told them to bring Agassiz to his quarters. The guard bowed low and quickly turned to carry out his orders.
As he waited Agba almost bounced on his bed in excitement and anticipation. The Warlord would be blindsided, not only by Agassiz's return but the fact that Jarron and his Grand Moff had loosely 'mated' each other and she had borne his worst enemies child. How the mighty would fall. He may not even have to lift a finger. They may all kill each other in the end. And then he would step in as the new Warlord.
A quick knock on the door brought him back to the present and the guard stood with Agassiz's naked and bruised body in front of him. Agba stood in a jump off the bed, clapping and rubbing his hands together in front of him. She visibly flinched at the noise and he put his hand up again with the empty promise of not hurting her.
"Sorry love, I didn't mean to frighten you," he cooed at her. "But we need to get you cleaned up, for you return to your Warlord this very evening." Her eyes went wide the best they could and it reminded him of Scylla lying on the floor glaring at him after he defeated her. Their faces matched now, both of their right eyes were useless. "Come, come, into the shower now I shall help," he said. With that he dismissed the guard and grabbing her shackled hands pulled her into his own quarters bath.
