Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 171 - Revenge

**meantime in the forest**

Lord David's body was still standing in the middle of the forest exactly where John threw him during the supernatural attack but somehow after so many days his finger shook of a inch as he slowly opened his eyes. The torso from where the sharp pieces of glass were sunk inside his skin was bleeding less than before and the wounds in his head almost healed completely.

His supernatural body took a lot to recover from the fall but as a miracle it did.

David stood up cracking his muscles to stretch to fully recover his tensed aching bones and nerves.

Lord David groaned heading toward the castle, he wanted to try one last time to kill John or at least harm the happy couple, but as he headed toward the castle he was reminded that he could do one worsen thing rather than kill him. 

And the more he tried to think the more he reconsidered his decision, he didn't have many chances of winning against John so why bother risking?

He changed his direction and turned around, heading toward the Clayton Family's House.

A smirk appeared on his face as soon as the Lord reached it and knocked over the door.

Ginevra went to open the door and her gaze soon scanned Lord David's body upside down stopping to stare at the blood over his clothes and her eyebrows frowned wondering how he got those marks and why he came there.

"Good morning miss Ginevra." He said, offering a smile and sounding normal which made Ginevra even more confused.

"Good morning." She replied quite confused.

"I..." David started trying to reorganize his ideas "I helped Roselyn and King John during the war when they had been attacked." He quickly found an explanation for the blood that dirtied his clothes.

Ginevra's eyes widened buying his lie and a smile appeared on her lips, "how is Roselyn?" she soon asked.

David faked the most devilish smile as he tilted his head, "she's fine."

Hearing his answer Ginevra took a breath of relief and smiled, "I'm glad." she sighed.

"She asked me to come here in her room and search for some clue of who might have attacked them," David said gazing inside the house.

Ginevra's eyebrows knitted and her forehead frowned, why would any clue be in her house?

"Are you sure..." she hissed but before she could finish her sentence Lord David already found his way inside.

"Roselyn's room is upstairs..." her mother said still puzzled pointing her finger toward Roselyn's room. He nodded even if his overdeveloped smell already led him to head toward that room since in that direction Roselyn's scent was more prominent.

He quickly climbed the stairs and headed toward Roselyn's room, reaching it in the blink of an eye, and as soon as he did he began to search in her room for a clue to find out what could be wrong in her and John's relationship.

He threw over the ground all the things he found in the drawers, searching everywhere from under the bed to in her bedside table, and in a matter of few seconds, the room was a complete mess as it was immersed in chaos.

"Here..."

At the bottom of a withdraw inside Roselyn's bedside table there was a paper folded, David's eyes sparkled when he opened it.

It looked like a contract stipulated by John and Roselyn.

As he kept reading there stood conditions and rules to respect. He couldn't believe his eyes. That was real and proper proof that their love wasn't real, indeed a condition in the agreement was that love was severely prohibited.

"Here!" He said louder as his eyes sparkled, even more, he was so happy that he finally found something, he now only had to find Sharon and make a plan to destroy the happy couple and release the entire truth to the whole village.

He couldn't wait, he had never been waiting for that day for so long. He heard footsteps echoing and he soon disappeared before Ginevra could enter the room.

He left with his overdeveloped speediness in the wood and he began to look for Sharon, he needed to find her now so that they could together make a plan.

But she wasn't anywhere, no sign of her, no scent, no voice he could perceive anything at all.

He took a long deep breath as he gazed at the faraway castle, the towers of the Castle were high in the sky and could peek from the high hedges.

"I have to do it alone." He concluded after long consideration and turning around to head toward the village.

His steps were heavy over the soil and stepping on the dried plants, his grouts echoed in the forest, and at each step, he took toward the village the more he smirked and the more he felt joy overwhelm in his heart.

He couldn't wait to see John's face when the new that their entire marriage and relationship was fake would be spread. The Royal Couple couldn't even deny it since that was the original copy, the royal sign and Prince John's signature were there as well.

There was no way out of that drastic situation and David knew it. He knew he was going to change forever the life of the couple and that his decision was very cruel and devilish. But he didn't care, he thought that's was what they deserved for having tried to kill him multiple times and for having been dishonest. Moreover he never fully swallowed and digested nor did he ever accepted Roselyn's refusal. He still was convinced that if he couldn't have her then nobody else could.

He reached the village, he could hear people's voices. He didn't even bother to change his clothes as he planned to stick the paper in a wall, precisely in the playbill where all the announcements were strung and the place that people visited more often to check. Even the laziest people or the oldest women of villages would leave their houses driven by their imponent curiosity purposely to check the new gossip.

There was no better place, few people were already in front of it to read the few news that had already been there for a week, so he waited for them to leave.

Just when they walked away and no people were nearby he took advantage of the situation to speed there and took a need from the other paper's sheet and stick the folds of the agreement there.. He smiled hugely before speeding inside the corner of the building and wait for people to find out.
