Mated to the Mad Lord-Chapter 137: The Saviour?

Blood gurgled in his throat as Reddrick struggled to squeeze his neck, trying to stem the blood, but even then, he knew that it was a fruitless endeavor.

His gaze turned to look at Howie, filled with the utmost hatred as his lips moved, wanting to speak even as blood poured out of his mouth, making it impossible for him to do so as he fell flat on the ground, dying.

Howie didn’t so much as spare another glance at him as he immediately picked up another knife from the box and raised it before stabbing himself right in the shoulder and pulling it out, allowing his blood to soak into the black uniform he wore.

Once wasn’t enough, and he went ahead and stabbed himself in the other shoulder two more times, allowing the blood to soak into his shirt before pulling the knife out and watching the wounds slowly close up.

The footsteps had gotten louder, but Howie paid them no mind as he concentrated instead on finding a good place to hide the box under hay or anything else he could find before walking back to check the bodies.

For Savi, Howie had severed the connection between his brainstem and his spine, while for Reddrick, he had stabbed him in the neck and slit his throat, and yet he wasn’t surprised that they were still breathing, albeit mostly labored ones.

’I guess I have to do all the work around here!’ he sighed to himself as he picked up the knife he had used in stabbing himself and placed it in Reddrick’s hand before picking up the one he had used to stab Reddrick and using it to stab him right in the heart, leaving it there, going over the story in his head as he did so.

’I came to the stable to randomly check where I saw Reddrick, who attacked me and stabbed me. He was about to kill me when Savi quietly walked in and interrupted. Savi turns around to flee and inform others, but Reddrick stabs him in the back while I use the chance to stab Reddrick and kill him!’ hoping he wouldn’t have to use the story until it was necessary, something he hoped wouldn’t happen.

He didn’t leave them until both their hearts had been stabbed, and he was confident that no single breath was left in their lungs before he hurriedly moved towards where Violet lay on the floor.

The knocks on the stable door, which he had locked, became much louder as the people behind it called out, even as Howie’s head pounded as he tried to figure out his best option.

"I-I’m in here!" he screamed, even as he removed his uniform and draped it over Violet before lowering himself and picking up her body on the ground, with a cold and calculating look in his eyes, not surprised to hear the people on the other side of the door shout back, breaking the door at the exact time he expected them to.

’The lord might even reward me that I went ahead to keep his secret!’ he thought to himself, not seeing how things could go wrong as he smirked to himself with a huge grin on his face and opened his mouth.

"I found him! I-I think I found the lord’s lover!" he shouted just as the door was broken down by a foot, too impatient to keep waiting for the door to be opened. In front of him were three guards who instantly walked towards him, Howie relieved that he was smart enough to think of the plan, especially since it would have been impossible to get rid of the three of them and avoid suspicion, considering he was yet to clean up the scene and his smell was bound to linger.

"You’re sure?"

"Is that truly him?"

"Damn!! What the hell happened? Savi had just mentioned that he was heading here!" the three of them spoke one after the other, even as Howie hurriedly told them the version he had prepared in his head. But one of them frowned and was about to speak when Howie changed his tone into one filled with worry and anxiety.

"We can talk about that later! We need to get him to the lord as soon as possible!" Howie said, even as he carried the body carefully in his arms.

"I can’t believe Reddrick would dare to do this! He’s a monster!" Howie said, planting the thought in their heads, even as he slightly nudged them in a way that would make them change the topic and allow him to avoid all suspicion.

’I just need to get this to the lord while sticking to the plan! He’ll focus on his lover, and once the news spreads and everyone has relaxed, and the security in the mansion has also been reduced, I would immediately disappear!’ taking note of the fact that he would have to come back for the eyes first before he left, something he would be able to do.

’Moreover... she’s barely hanging by a thread. He’ll have no choice but to call for doctors if her health is to be stabilized!’ he thought to himself as he continued speaking while moving out of the stable as the others followed behind him.

"He needs urgent medical help! I-I think his eyes have been removed!" he whispered, his voice on the edge of agony as he showed a pained expression, even as he continued walking forward, not surprised to see the other three immediately chip in. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"He looks terrible!"

"I can’t believe Reddrick would do this... but he had always been a maniac!"

"I should run forward and inform Frank, the head of the elite guards!" the last of them spoke with a relieved expression on his face as he patted Howie on his shoulder with a respectful expression on his face.

"I’m glad you survived. If not for you, Savi would have died for nothing, and that big-muscled Reddrick would have gotten away with whatever he had been trying to do!" he said, his words clearly appreciative as he jogged away, even as Howie also hurried his steps since the sooner everyone knew that he found her, the better.

His gaze moved to look at the face of the body in his arms, which was still completely unconscious.

’As long as you don’t die... I’ll be fine, but you definitely won’t,’ he thought to himself, not daring to say the words out loud since the other two with him would have no issues picking it up.

’I won’t work here again, but Lord Eldric would definitely find a more befitting job for me once I hand him your eyes and tell him your real gender!’ his chest swelling ever so steadily with confidence, confident that he had gotten away with it.
