Chapter 484: Imprisonment

"Bastard! Get away from me!" a middle-aged woman screamed, gripping lattice on the window . "I demand to see Anthony right now!"



Despite her screams, the mercenaries guarding her carried on with their duties as if they could not hear her .

"It's been three days," a voice said coldly . "Haven't you screamed enough?" Anthony walked into the yard below the window, his face gloomy .

"You…" Nishieva has been demanding a meeting with Anthony for three days, but when he was standing before her, she did not know what to say . She stared at him then spat . "I never took you for one so cruel . "

"Me?" Anthony asked, shaking his head . "You are my wife . I never wanted to put your life in danger . You, on the other hand, wanted to kill me . "

"I did everything for you!"

"For me? Nishieva, look at me and tell me . Have you ever thought of me? You are here, sure, but everything you did was for Ellisen Empire . I can't see how killing Alice would ever benefit me . Do you have any idea what would happen if we piss of Anfey and his people?"

"So you're scared of him!" Nishieva said with a frustrated laugh . "You're scared of him! So you put your own wife in prison! You're not just cruel, Anthony, you're a coward . "

"I'm not a coward," Anthony said . "I did what I did so I wouldn't be manipulated anymore . Don't push me too far, Nishieva . I don't want to do anything to you . "

"Really?" Nishieva said, laughing . "Sure . Come kill me . You really think I care? Kill me, then go lick the boots of your new masters! I can't believe I agreed to marry you . "

"Neither one of us had the choice," Anthony said, shaking his head . "It was purely political, Nishieva . I thought that at least you would be helping me after our marriage, but clearly I'm wrong . "

Nishieva stared at Anthony, her knuckles white from gripping the lattice too hard .

"I worked for Ellisen Empire, what did I get? I work for Anfey, and what did I get? Even you must agree that Ellisen Empire is way too stingy, yet you still spent years trying to help it . Why?" Anthony sighed and lowered his gaze . "Nishieva, you are my wife . If I'm just Anthony, I would throw away everything to help . But I'm not just Anthony . I am also the leader of Glory mercenary group and I'm responsible for the lives of thousands of mercenaries . I can't abandon them just because of you . "

Nishieva watched Anthony in stunned silence . Out of the corner of her eyes, she spotted her son David walking in behind his father . She reached out and called, "David! David, help me!" David saw her and froze . He looked at her, his eyes filled with sadness, then lowered his head hurriedly .

"I promise you, no one's coming to save you," Anthony said . "Of course, I can also promise you that no one will come and hurt you . David, are you ready?"

"Yes, father," David said quietly .

"Bring them in," Anthony said .



David turned and shouted an order . Around fifty people were ushered into the yard . They were all dressed differently and were different ages, but they were all bound .

"These are your achievements, aren't they?" Anthony said . "I must apologize, but none of them can leave here today . " He waved his hand and the mercenaries he brought with him all drew their swords . The mercenaries present had all been following Anthony for years and all knew better than to question him . A few minutes later, the last of the mercenaries returned his sword to its sheath . Nishieva looked at the bodies in horror .

"To be honest, what happened yesterday was worse," Anthony told Nishieva . "Of course, you're my wife, and I don't want to cause you any discomfort . " He paused . "This is the last time you'll see me . I won't come here again, and you won't leave here again . " He turned to David and said, "Let's go . "


Anthony departed from Nishieva with sure steps . Nishieva screamed and cursed his name, but none of the curses were enough to turn him around .

Christian pushed his way into Alice's room and saw that she was busy with ledgers . Alice smiled at him and returned to the numbers .

Shinbela nodded at Christian . Alice's safety became a topmost priority, and was followed by dozens of mercenaries wherever she went . Shinbela had been staying close to her as well, no matter where Alice was . It was her neglect that had given the assassin a chance to get close to Alice, and she did not want that to happen again .

Christian smiled at Shinbela and sat down on a chair next to Alice . "How are you doing? How's your throat?"

"It's better," Alice said . "Still can't raise my voice, but it could be worse . Do you need something?"



Christian nodded . "Anfey's coming back . "

"I see . "

Christian pursed his lips . It's clear after that night that Alice liked Anfey, and to Christian, the more she acted like didn't care, the more she cared .

"Anthony killed a lot of people," Christian continued .

"Why?"

"He said that they're all people from Ellisen Empire," Christian said . "Anthony has shown his stance . I think we can trust him . We need to work with him to ensure peace . He's instrumental in inviting Batusimon here . I don't think Batusimon will work with us if Anthony isn't working with us . If we turn Anthony away, it could be disadvantageous . "

"What did he do with Nishieva?"

"He imprisoned her," Christian said . "He got two alchemists to seal off the tower he is keeping her in . He's serious . "

"Nishieva's from Ellisen Empire . She's a thorn in our side . "

"But there's no way Anthony will kill her," Christian said . "Killing her servants and imprisoning her is the most he can do . "

"Let me finish," Alice said with a smile . "I agree . I'm fine as long as Anthony stops trusting Nishieva . "

"You don't want to do anything else?"

"What else is there to do?"

Christian nodded . "Alright," he said . "If Anfey's unsatisfied with this situation, you should try and talk to him . You're the victim, and your words will weigh more than ours . "

"I trust him to make the right decision," Alice said with a shrug . "He's always sensible . But sure . I will talk to him if he wants to do anything else . "

"You don't understand," Christian said . "You don't know what he said when you were unconscious . " Christian knew that Alice liked Anfey and that telling her what had happened would only fuel her fondness . However, he also knew the more she repressed it, the stronger her feelings would grow . He wanted to take another approach in quelling her feelings .

"What did he say?"
