After August's sixth month return trip.
At this moment, Telemachus was fuming.
"Is that whore still not over that dead boy?"
Provincial lord Telemachus had been trying to get into Diana's pants since she caught his eye a few years ago, but she gave him the cold shoulder every time. How dare that commoner adventurer reject him!
Telemachus was spending his day with his concubines when he heard a commotion outside the city gates. He was a 3rd step cultivator, an impressive level that improved ones hearing.
"Impossible. August is back, 8th step?"
In another room, another man broke out in a cold sweat. Octavious, the current first in line for the main inheritance immediately walked to Telemachus' house, and in the night a diabolical plan was formed.
"Oh, if it isn't Augustus. This is great cause for celebration! I will prepare a banqueuet immediately!"
Telemachus friendly greeted Augustus. August did not even respond as his eyes were searching for someone. When he could not find her, he became worried.
"Are you perhaps worried about that Diana girl? Don't worry, she went to gather herbs in the farms."
August believed him as that was a routine for her. He had emnity with his family, while Telemachus was his only friend. In truth, Telemachus had only been friendly with August to get close to Diana. Otherwise, why would he befriend that cultivator invalid.
Nobody from the Ceres family went to greet August and sent a maid in their stead. It was obvious they did not care or hated August. August's father was too busy currying with the royal family and only cared about August's brothers. His mother, Vanessa, had already almost forgotten how she stomped on that trash with her high heels, but she could never forget that look on his face. Now that August had returned, they would rather dig the pit between them deeper than reconcile.
As August walked inside the estate, Telemachus whispered "Did you prepare the aphrodasiac as told?"
Octavious nodded. This aphrodasiac was new on the market and extremely rare. It had mind bending properties for a short duration. Back then, he had treated Augustus as his slave to do punitive tasks for him and gave him lashes when he disobeyed.
At this time, August was not worried because his father, the head of the family was only a step 5. He believed there was no one who could harm him anymore.
After an unceromonial dinner, Telemachus excused himself early.
August returned to his old room and prepared to wait until Diana came back, but something wasn't right. He could hear the sound of moaning coming from the room. August opened the door.
"It's so big! Give it to me! Sir Telemachus." Diana moaned with her legs spread up in the air as she was penetrated. Her fluffy breasts bounced on the mattress.
August was shocked. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"Oh, I forgot this was your room, August. Sorry!" Diana whimpered in the corner of her eye.
"What did you do to her!" August shouted and erupted with killing intent.
Wating for this moment was Octavious. "How dare you, August! Telemachus is an honored guest of our family." Octavious shouted from the hall.
Suddenly, a man stepped out of the shadow of the hallway and put his hand on August's hilt.
"August, you are under arrest for attempted assassination of a city official."
August was shocked. Each provincial lord was entitled to a ninth step bodyguard from the empire. He struggled, but the grip of a ninth step expert was like steel.
In a blur, August's execution was expedited. He saw the faces of his family and peers.
"Attempted assination of the lord. Does he think that a brute like him can do as he pleases?"
"Attempted rape of a commoner. Does that pig think he can eat swan Diana just because she has no family background?"
Not one person spoke up for him.
Diana stared at Telemachus with puppy eyes. August was too emotional to realize what had truly happened and cursed her.
"I hate you all. I will kill you all."
August closed his eyes as the sword came for his neck.
"It's all over . . . It can't be over just like this."
The exhileration of death was followed by the feeling of awakening from a long dream.
