"Boss, we brought the goods!" The man named Marco said as they approached another masked man at a corner. It is like a back stage as the entrance was just in front of this area as well.
The masked man being called as boss suddenly stood up from his leisurely sitting position. He moves to examine the pregnant woman, on the other hand, the pregnant woman was already feeling very frightened by what's about to befall her.
If she earlier wasn't stupid enough to just follow a strange staff of the castle, if she heed her uncle's warning not to get out of the castle or to even trust just anyone yet, she would not have to face this seemed like unavoidable tragedy.
Tears stream down her exquisite face as she helplessly looks at her protruding stomach. Her eyes widened when she saw the body of a person being carried by men on a stretcher.
The body was mutilated to the extent of it being hard for her to distinguish if it's a male or female.
The woman was about to throw up when the masked man held her by the hair.
"If I were you, I wouldn't dare!" The masked man warned her not to throw up on the place. The woman who was terrified unknowingly pushed down back the stuff she was about to puke out.
She was trembling in fear!
She couldn't even move a step on her own as she's still being held tightly by the two men on each side.
The crowd was still continuously cheering wildly, making the mask man irritated by the noise. After all, he prefers the silence of his own company. The masked man held the woman by her chin and stared directly in her eyes. Blue eyes. The colour of the eyes the woman would never ever forget from that day onward.
"You're too beautiful for this." He clicked his tongue and continued, "But unfortunately, you have offended someone back in Country P and also I was once offended by your uncle. Consider this as your misfortune." The man grinned, revealing the gap between his upper front teeth.
"Bring her to the crowd! Let's start another show!" He clapped three times.
The woman who was hit by the realization was dumbfounded and it's already late for her to move, although her little efforts to break away is proven pointless as the crowd seeing a pregnant woman being carried of to the stage started to jump, whistle and cheer joyfully.The woman's cries of "Let me go!" was swallowed by the crowd's loud cheers of, "Another. Show! Another. Show!"
The woman was brought in the center stage and her efforts to get away were futile from the strong grip of the two men.
Suddenly the light of the stage went off once again and in that amount of darkness, a small table was brought to the center of the stage and the woman was laid down and shackled on that same table.
Both her arms and feet were bound by chains so tightly that she couldn't even move her body. Her legs were spread apart.
Simultaneously, as the stage's light was turned on, another man who wears a hideous mask cut through the dress she was wearing leaving her bare with just her maternity brassiere and underwear. The audience whistled and cheered once more, this time, the wildest that they could ever be.
The man wearing an overall who was obviously the host went to the stage. With an energized and lively voice he spoke to the crowd, "Another show?!"
"Another. Show! Another Show!" The crowd madly replied without even acting surprised or making any sense that there's a pregnant woman strapped naked in the middle of the stage.
"You want it!?" The host yet asked once again heightening and increasing the expectation and excitement of the wild crowd.
