When Andrew opened his eyes, he found himself tied to a bed in a hut. Cobwebs were all over the hut. He tried to get rid of the ropes, but was not very successful. After some time passed, he heard some noises from outside. It was clear from the voices that there were two women and one man, but it was not clear what they were saying.
Catherin, Lori, and Desmond had a heated argument about what to do with the man inside. Cat angrily said,
"It's your fault you sent me there and you're late." Turning to Cat, Lori
"We were getting a little work done. We met a duke's squire at the inn and we lingered with him a bit, honey," she said sullenly.
Turning to the women, Desmond said, "Stop arguing, think about what we're going to do with the man inside, very little money has come out of it. He saw Cat's face. And the plan fell through.
"After Lori thought for a while, I thought of something. This time Cat will help us, Cat, do you remember what I taught you, right? "Cat nodded yes. Then they started to plan.
A few minutes later, Cat came in. He still looked like a boy in last night's clothes.
"Who are you?" said Andrew angrily.
Cat grinned and moved from one end of the bed to the other. Then he shouted,
"Don't you understand who we are? We are a gang of thieves. We took you prisoner, either you give us money or we take your life."
The girl took her hat off her head after saying that. His long black hair fell over his shoulders. Black-haired women were rare in England. The girl's face could not be seen clearly because the room was dim, but it was clear that she did not look like an Englishman. Andrew eyed the girl; His body lines were not very clear because of his loose clothes; but her face was beautiful. He even had lush green eyes. How did this girl fall among them?
The girl approached the bed and lay facedown on the empty side of the bed. He lifted his head and folded his hands under his chin. Now her beauty was more evident. He fixed his bright green eyes on Andrew. Andrew couldn't stand her,
"I don't understand how a girl like you could be a thief."
The girl didn't answer, but her face went sad. Then he said, "When my parents died, me and my brother stayed on the street. It was very difficult for the girl. I dressed as a man. One day my brother got very sick and if Blue had not appeared that day, my brother would have died.We're helping Blue and Black Claw pay off our debt. They also give us food. You see, I have to for my brother." He said and stopped. A deep silence enveloped the room for a while. Andrew had noticed that the girl was calling them by nicknames. Was she telling the truth?
"What's your name?" Andrew asked the girl. "My name is Fred," she said, then added. "So my male name.Blue said I had to act like a man to protect myself."
Andrew pretended to believe her story.
"Well, what's your real name?"
"Mary," said Cat.
Andrew couldn't believe that this girl was telling the truth.
"Well, what are you going to do with me?" Cat shrugged and said, "I don't know, maybe we'll kill you."
He walked out. Andrew was very curious about what they were planning. A little later, another woman with a mask came in. This must be the woman she called Blue. Her outfit was the last. She was very stylish. She wore a blue dress that revealed her full breasts. The woman was not very old. She was seen in her early 40s. She sat on the bedside saying,
"How are you handsome, how are you?"
Andrew didn't react. When the woman didn't react, she stood up and climbed onto Andrew and sat down. It seems that she wanted to seduce him. It looked like she would succeed if she tried a little harder, and it seemed like she was a master of her craft. Andrew unintentionally took pity on the girl. He spat on her.
" Get off me, don't bother making love to women like you. " Lori was waiting for this word. She got off the man instantly.
He lit himself a cigar.
"If you want, I have a beautiful flower," she said, "What do you say, do you like girl?" and winked.
"You can take her as your mistress if you want. I saved it for these days, my precious flower," she said and pretended to smell an imaginary flower.
"I don't need a mistress," said Andrew. "I've never bought a mistress " he said. Lori knew she had a hard time with this man, but she knew that the man would eventually be on the way.
"I know who you are, Andrew Edward Winchester, 5th Duke of Waveshire." She raised his eyebrows and said,
"It's fine with me. "He'll get used to it, honey," Lori said, and began walking around the room. Maybe what the girl said was true, she was negotiating with her. Wouldn't it be a favor to him and his brother if he took her with him? Andrew had made up his mind.
"Okay, but I'm not going to have you jailed for no money or anything. You know my strength, as you know I'm a duke. That's for the girl." Andrew said the words angrily. Blue smiled triumphantly.
