Chereads / Desmir and The count / Chapter 7 - A dire mistake in the manor

Chapter 7 - A dire mistake in the manor

Once upon a time there was a fox who led a pack of wolves. This fox wasn't the strongest, nor the swiftest. However he was the cleverest and the bravest. His den was attacked by a pack of vicious wolves. And the alpha of the pack took pity on the baby fox instead of the fox running away or pleading for mercy. The fox stood his ground and growled ready to die with dignity. The alpha took the fox in and raised the pup as one of her own.

The story of the fox alpha. Is a story Desmir father and mother told him when he was just a boy. It is the tale of cleverness and strength and even in the face of certain death. That there is always a way to succeed. Desmir awakes to that part of the story in his head. "Here I am the fox in the wolves den once again biding my time. Waiting to strike." Desmir says aloud shaking his head on the seat. He looks to his left and Lady Veda and Lord Pravis are still out cold. Surly in some weird dream state just as he was. Darzan appears and bows

"My lord I have set up a room for you."

"You bow to me like I own the title Darzan." Desmir asks, standing from his chair and scooting from the table.

"Of course my lord you are a guest and as such should be treated just as fine as the host. Please follow me."

Desmir pushes in his chair and follows the hunchback towards the stairs. and Darzan silent as ever leads Desmir to his room. It's a bare room just a bed. No pictures nowhere close as Decorative as the foyer.

"This is your room my Lord for the time being the count likes to have his guests to decorate the room."

"Thank you Darzan."

"Of course my lord." Darzan says and bows shutting the door as he walks out of the room.

Desmir stands in the weakly lit room, then walks towards the bed and lays down. And thinks about what he saw, however due to the exhaustion of the day or the past year of being chained up Desmir soon falls into a deep slumber.

...

Desmir soon wakes up a few hours later to a knocking on his door. Desmir stretches and drags his legs over the bed. To open the door. When he opens it Lady Veda is there.

"Desmir, may I come in?" lady veda smiles

Desmir bows to Lady Veda"Of course my Lady"

and then stepps aside to let her enter. She makes her way to the bed and takes a sit .Desmir closes the door and walks towards the corner where his weapon lays in front . however for some reason once again Desmir fills his body getting on the defensive something is wrong his instincts scream at him to attack her."Crazy day huh?"Akina says looking up at him for the bed

Desmir chuckles. "Yes milady it has been.

"Words cannot describe our predicaments can they? Finding out that vampires or what did this Count Tempus call herself a nurin . or Finding out about your family killers. What are you going to do?

Desmir looks at Lady Akina and a shocked look upon his face. "If this is a test Count you'll have to try harder". and Desmir leaps at the woman And begins to choke the life out of her. Her face of utter shock and as her eyes slowly lose their shine a tear trickles down Desmir cheeks. However he is determined to survive. She stifles out a scream right when someone begins to Rap on the door. Low, not loud enough to wake anyway.however the door is too far Desmir snaps her neck with the rest of His might and he rolls over to the dresser where his sword is. The door rips open. Just in time for the second assailant to get the sword thrust into him. only for Desmir to look up so see lord Pravis on the other end of the weapon. with a confused look upon his face. Desmir yanks out his sword. And stands over the now lifeless body. Now not so sure he was correct about instincts.
