Bang!
Unexpectedly, the young man next to her suddenly gave her a heavy slap in the back. The girl was shocked by the man's unforeseen action.
Darren frowned at the sight. Nonetheless, he remained in his place and didn't take any immediate action.
"Fergus, what the hell are you doing? Why did you suddenly launch a sneak attack against me?" The girl's eyes were filled with disbelief. A trace of blood had already hung on the corner of her mouth. A pained expression was seen on her face.
"Ella, you are too impulsive. It would be better if you just calm down. How could you act like this in front of Young Master Luke?" Fergus Chen said reproachfully as his eyes met with Ella's.
"What the hell are you talking about?! You are my fiance. These people wanted to offend me. Why do you take the side of the outsiders?" Fergus' words were quite a shock for Ella Chen. She just couldn't believe that amidst the irrational demands of the people around them, Fergus Chen would tell her to back down.
"Ella, you can't act so stubbornly. You should already be aware. If you continue to be impetuous, our entire village would be destroyed. Please realize which is more important, okay?
Since Young Master Luke is interested in you, you should serve him well. If you do a good job, I believe he won't make trouble for our village. He might even take good care of us in the future if you perform well. Why don't you stay with him for a few days and entertain him?"
When she heard that, Ella Chen grew extremely mad. The anger in her chest almost suffocated her.
Bewilderment enveloped Ella as she couldn't comprehend the actions of her fiance. At that moment, somehow, a thought passed by her mind. 'Did Fergus say that on purpose so that our enemies could relax their vigilance? He probably wants us to kill all of them before they summon strong warriors for help.
Yes, that must be the case. I'm sure he won't be a coward who is afraid of death. He will never abandon me in such a dangerous situation!'
Ella was sure that her hunch was right. Relief flowed through her chest after such reasonable thoughts. However, what Fergus did next shattered her illusion. With a straight face, Fergus pushed her into the coldest abyss of the world and humiliation.
He immediately walked over to Ella and forcibly sealed her power. Without a second thought, he began to strip off her clothes.
"Just stay still Ella. Rest assured that I won't leak a word to anyone about what happens today. Nonetheless, it would then be impossible for me to marry you. I know you like me very much. I'll just ask my father to let you stay by my side as my maid. You shouldn't have any problem with such an arrangement right?" Fergus said rather casually. Not a hint of regret nor compassion could be seen on his face.
