The lovemaking took a different—yet more sensual—turn.

It was mixed with extra sweet emotion and the excitement for a new phase of their lives. However, they had to keep the charade in order not to be found outside.

After that first yell, Gill also didn’t mimic Eshmo’s voice anymore. After all, they associated it with that bastard and their mood would get ruined.

Gill was really passionate and held back just enough not to be too rough, and soon they finally let go, bodies recombined in the most intimate way possible.

Gasping, they put their foreheads together. They couldn’t help but chuckle a bit as the tension was released. It was as if there wasn’t a corpse a meter away from them.

“So what do we do now?” Cassandra asked, but Gill just looked down to look at her still-flat stomach.

He sat them up, causing her to let out involuntary moans at the movement. She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders to balance herself.

The position, while no less erotic, let Gill have a better view of his child. Well, in his mind anyway.

“Pregnant.”

There was such genuine happiness and relief in his eyes and it made her smile.

But her peripheral view caught sight of the half-naked corpse and her eyes twitched.

She patted Gill’s cheek and repeated: “What do we do now?”

Gill looked at her and smiled, just glad to have gotten there on time. While it was distracting to think clearly in their position, he had naturally had a plan before deciding to behead the scumbag.

He rubbed her cheek. There were still traces of her tears from before. He heard the scream directed at her parents who cold-heartedly ignored her pleas.

How helpless she must’ve been.

“Do you want to give your family a bit of trouble? Distracted enough so they wouldn’t have time to find out where you are?”

She tilted her head and looked at him, eyes filled with curiosity. “What do you mean?”

“Is it true that your family wasn’t the original ruling family?” he asked. Cassandra was a little surprised and nodded in the end.

Then he proceeded to tell her that, when he got there, he happened to follow someone from the family of the previous lord. He had overheard the man’s bitterness in passing and decided to follow in case he found something useful in his mission.

Using his stealth skills, he managed to follow them for a while. Fortunately, after the rants, they talked about their plans even before they entered their abode. This was lucky because he wouldn’t have been able to sneak in due to the system. He took advantage of Cassandra’s (and her family’s) entry to get to Eshno’s, but there was no such thing in the other house.

They were careful and still used the voice barrier though (something they belatedly remembered to do), but as one of Alterra’s top soldiers, he had the tool against it. He activated it and he managed to hear much of their plans.

They had apparently been monitoring Jacoba for a long time—years, in fact—and they had known that it was weakening. It was why they had started to mobilize their forces a few months ago.

They had slowly tried to get the mercenary teams outside of there. One, they revealed the place’s actual state. It was failing—it was better to leave when they still had their assets!

They also facilitated some deals with other towns and the like, so compared to a year prior, a good portion of mercenary teams had already left Jacoba.

Next, they allied with another town, something called Uber Town about a week distance away.

Uber Town was supposed to declare war within the next week or so, and they would cause chaos, regaining the token along the way.

It was just that the announcement of the wedding came and it took them off-guard.

They knew they had to stop the alliance at all cost. This wasn’t just an alliance bounded by the system, but also by marriage.

This was like extra insurance for Jacoba and Ester. They didn’t care about Ester, but Jacoba couldn’t regain strength again!

They had planned to cause chaos during the wedding, and Gill had planned to take advantage of that.

They also proceeded to take in a few female slaves to vent, prior to a tenseful mission the next day. It was also what let Gill disregard the trouble his plan would cause them.

Rather than trouble, it could very well get them killed, but who cared? They’re all bastards, anyway.

Still, while his plan was to take advantage of the chaos they’d create, his gut told him to start moving as soon as possible.

He managed to sneak into Eshno’s house during the meet-up because there were so many guests and the entry was loosened by the lord himself, being the house’s owner. He was the type that’d be too lazy to ‘approve’ each entry so he changed the settings instead.

Gill was thankful he did so. Had he only started moving the next day—

Ah, damnit, he wanted to crush that man’s head!

But feeling his woman’s softness against him, he calmed down a bit, continuing with his explanation.

“Whatever we did today, we can pin it on them,” he told Cassandra, his eyes glinting with slyness.

At this point, almost all of the tension in Cassandra’s body had left her, and all she felt was peace. She just wanted to go home now.

She just embraced him tighter, feeling his warmth. “Let’s do whatever we have to,” she told him.

“I trust you.”
