BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 - Restored
"What are we going to do now?" one of the servants asked.
"Once the girl in red finished performing, the Lord will bring that girl to his chamber and we need another woman to entertain the Lord's men! If we can't provide a woman quick we will be severely punished," one of the guards said in horror.
The servant looked at the girl lying unconscious in the bed. "This can't be! We have to awaken her and get her in there or else we will be dead tonight for disappointing the Lord's men. She looked at the young servant girl beside her. "Get my medicine in my bed, beneath my pillow, hurry up!"
"What is the medicine for?" asked the servant.
"It can awaken this girl! Hurry up!" the servant barked her order.
The servant girl scurried out of the chamber going to the servants' chamber located a few meters away.
She returned a few minutes later holding the bottle of medicine in her hand and gave it to the older woman who is in charge of reviving the woman wearing the black dress.

Back in the chamber, where the men are currently having fun drinking wine... gawking at Laura who still dancing provocatively in the center of the clearing.
Lord Maxius stood up. "That's enough! I'm going to retire to my chamber!" he told the woman in the red dress. "Come with me to my room, woman! Let's retire for the night!" he commanded.
Laura obeyed and went to his side.
The moment she was in arm's length, the Lord's lifted his woman in his powerful arms, bringing her to his chamber, located just a few meters away.
A few minutes later.
The drunk men start complaining and protesting...
"Where is our woman!? Bring her here!" the men demanded in unison.
"She's coming!" one of the guards shouted at the entrance of the chamber.
"Hurry up! Let her dance for us! It's getting boring here without entertainment!" one of the men said.
A moment later.
The shaking woman was ushered into the center of the clearing.
"Start dancing! The men will get angry if you don't give them a nice dance!" the servant told her and left here alone in the center of the clearing.
She stared at the men looking at her like she is like a piece of meat.
Then the live music starts filling the entire chamber.
She remembered what the servant told her, she began swaying her hips and hands to the beat of the music, fearing the men's wrath if she doesn't start dancing and give them entertainment.
The men continue drinking, chatting, and ogling at the woman dancing in the center of the clearing.
A few minutes later, one of the men which happen to be Lord Maxius right hand ordered the music to stop.
"Stop the music! I want the woman in my chamber now!" the right hand, Kalon, commanded.
The guards went to the woman in the center and were about to grab the woman and bring her to Kalon's chamber when something unexpected happened...
The woman in red appeared in the clearing...holding a bloody severed head in her right hand while holding a bloody dagger in her right hand...she raised the head above like a trophy for everyone to see... the men looked at the head in shock...they recognized it as their leader - the Lord Maxius head!
A few seconds of silence fell among the crowd...then a voice rang in the air.
"That bitch killed our leader! Capture her! Kill her!" Kalon ordered everyone in the chamber.
Laura threw the severed head into the crowd and bolted away getting out of the chamber in lightning speed that throws everyone off guard.
All the men in the chamber ran after Laura, while Rebecca was left with one guard at her side in the chamber, shivering in shock and horror while staring at the severed head of the Lord Maxius lying in the ground a few meters away.
"You and your friend will never get out of this cave alive!" the guard said and dragged Rebecca outside going back to the prisoner's chamber. There, he put the chain securely around her neck and left the chamber.
Rebecca was alone now in the chamber.
It seemed everyone was after the one who killed the Lord.
She tried to take the chain away from her neck but failed, she can't do it! She lowered herself in the bed and hugged herself...waiting for death or a rescue!
Which comes first...it's not up to her.
~
The murdered Lord Maxius men scrambled all over the cave to find the woman who killed their Lord.
It dawned on them that the woman is not an ordinary human being. The fact that she managed to kill their powerful Lord, she must be using some kind of witchcraft to trick their leader.
Now they're trying to find the woman who suddenly disappeared without a trace after killing their leader.
While the men were going crazy trying to find the slayer that disappeared inside the cave.
Something is brewing outside the cave.
~
Outside the cave...
Graven, Horace, and the black hooded cape men descended at the foot of the mountain, they managed to locate the entrance of the cave that was hidden behind the huge trunk of the tree and launch an attack inside the cave.
Graven and his men handed swift death to their enemies using their powerful weapons such as dagger and throwing dark bolt that will come back to the owner after throwing it fatally to the enemy. Since the Lord Maxius men were wearing silver cape they are easy to identify and annihilated on the spot, added that they were also moving a bit slow due to being intoxicated with the drinks they consumed in the chamber.
Meanwhile...
Kalon ran towards the chamber where the other woman was imprisoned.
There inside the chamber, the woman in black was lying in the bed, looking unconscious. While the woman in red who killed the Lord, stood beside the wooden bed, holding her dagger in her right hand.
The woman looked at Kalon, eyes blazing...the woman lunged at him...he swiftly swiveled on the left side, avoiding her fatal attack... suddenly the woman in red vanished in front of him.
"Huh? Where did she go?" Kalon roamed his eyes around the chamber, he can't find her trace.
He advances towards the bed and was about to stab the neck of the woman in black lying in the bed when the woman in red appeared behind him and delivered a fatal stab on his back, piercing his heart, he crumbled on the ground dying, in disbelief.
Laura stood beside the lifeless body of Kalon, wiping the blood of the dagger with her dress.
That was also the moment...Graven and Horace entered the chamber.
Graven saw Laura holding a dagger in her right hand.
She looked at him and smiled. "You're late!"
Graven shifted his attention to Rebecca, lying in the bed. He walked to the bed and inspected Rebecca's body, he looked at Laura. "Is she alright?"
Laura smiled broadly. "Yes. I took good care of her..." she replied proudly.
"Good!" Graven said. "Restore yours and Laura's look now!" he ordered.
Laura went to Rebecca's side and waved her hand over the unconscious woman's face, slowly...Rebecca's face becomes Laura's face.
Horace was now seeing two Laura in front of him wearing a dress of different color.
Laura waved her hand over her face, her image slowly returned to being Rebecca.
Graven lifted the unconscious Laura and carried her in his arms. He looked at Horace. "Kill everyone except the servants!" he commanded.
"Yes, My Lord!" Horace replied.
Graven looked at Rebecca. "You come with me to my father's mansion. You got some explaining to do!" he said.
Rebecca touched Graven's arm. "Okay..."
The trio disappeared from the chamber.
