Chapter 121
Janet widened her eyes in shock.
Andre was brought away by the guards a few hours ago. Why did he end up here in the garden?
And why did they put a snake on his body?
The snake wrapped its body around Andre and tightened its grip, its coils
constricting around him like a living prison.
The serpent’s scales were cool and smooth against his skin, sending chills down his spine.
Andre gasped for breath, his face getting redder, sweat dripping down from his forehead.
It looked like he was having a panic attack.
“P-Please!” he groaned weakly, “I…I can’t. Let me off…Please…I would do anything…Just-Please! Let Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
me off…”
The guards didn’t look at him. They were having a good time with their poker game. “General Danton
asked us to hang you for at least 6 hours,” one of the guards said idly. “How long has it been now?”
“Two hours and a half.”
“You hear that, Master Andre? It was not even half yet. So just shut your mouth and enjoy the night
breeze.”
Andre closed his eyes. His breathing was getting shallower.
“A-At least, get the snake away!” he begged, half-crying, “I am terrified of it…please!”
“Sorry, kid. No can do,” the guard shrugged with a nasty grin. They all seemed to enjoy the kind of
torment that Andre was in.
The snake held Andre firmly in its grasp, its yellow eyes glinting coldly. Andre shivered and tears
streamed down his cheek.
“Why is father doing this to me?” he cried, sobbing in despair. “I came to the ball as he asked…I-I did
everything he asked! Why!”
One guard clicked his tongue impatiently, “We are just following General Danton’s order. Plus, the
General doesn’t need a reason to do anything. He does things when he is pleased.”
Janet gritted her teeth in fume.
She could see what was happening now.
This was what Danton did-pulling Andre away anytime he wanted and punishing Andre randomly
without any reason.
He just loved to torment this kid.
And Danton must know that Andre was afraid of the snake. He put a snake on Andre’s body to spice
things up.
What a twisted fucking prick.

Janet and Daran exchanged a brief look. Although nobody said a word, they could understand what the
other was thinking perfectly.
They needed to rescue Andre.
Daran first pointed at the guards and then pointed at himself.
Janet knew what he meant.
He wanted to draw those guards away so that Janet could take this chance and rescue Andre.
She gave him a firm nod.
Daran gave her hand a gentle squeeze and then moved away quietly. He circled up to the other side of
this clearing and tossed a stone at the guards.
The guards were alerted.
They jumped up immediately.
“Who the fuck is there!” one guy snapped.
Daran hid in the shadows and tossed another stone at them.
“Fuck! Somebody is over there,” one of the guards hissed. “You two follow me and let us check it out.”
That guard took two men away from him.
And there was only one guy left here to watch Andre.
Janet narrowed her eyes into slits and stared at her target intently.
She sprang out from the bushes swiftly and jumped on the guard’s back. He was completely caught off
guard. She clamped his neck tightly with her arms and twisted
it sharply.
The guard crushed to the ground without a sound and passed out. He wasn’t even given the time to
find out who attacked him.
Janet rushed over to Andre and patted his cheek.
“Hey! Are you alright?” she asked urgently.
The snake spotted the intruder. It straightened its body and made a threatening sound at Janet.
Janet grabbed the snake by its neck, flung her arm, and smashed the snake’s head harshly on the
ground.
The snake twirled, and the next second, died.
Andre was still shaking violently. His eyes had lost focus. It almost looked like he was having a seizure.
“D-Don’t…”
Janet looked down and found Andre staring at her. He repeated himself once more, “Don’t…G-Get
away from me…”
“Are you crazy? I am trying to help you!” Janet snapped, “Look at you! You are on the verge of passing
out!”
“Fuck it! We will figure it out later. Now you are coming with me.”
She threw her dagger, and the dagger sliced the rope in two.
Andre dropped down and fell right into Janet’s arms.
She held his shoulder and wiped the cold sweat away from his forehead, “Hey, listen to me, you are
safe now. OK?”
Andre gritted his teeth. A look of despair flashed in his eyes.
“You are really fucking with my life…”
He muttered weakly, closed his eyes, and then passed out.
She couldn’t stay.
She went to collect her dagger.
Carrying Andre on her back, she quickly fled the scene and disappeared into the darkness.
