"What the hell is going on in here? Where is Roman? Who are the wenches on the bed? Where is Senmira?" Duke Kinsley couldn't think straight. The scene in front of him was highly unacceptable. It was forbidden in the Helian Empire. This kind of thing only happened in the brothels. If this shameful news spreads in the Capital that Senmira was involved in a group love-making activity, then even God couldn't protect Senmira's dignity.
"Bring the lanterns and five buckets of water! I couldn't believe such a shameful activity is going on in my mansion! Is your daughter virtue-less, Duke Kinsley?? How could she make relations with an unknown male and a female? And the man on the bed is not Roman. I can recognize my husband very well! " Alexandria calmly informed Duke Kinsley.
"WHAT?!?! Where is ROMAN? Is this your cheap plan to slander my daughter? I can't believe that my daughter can do this! I will take this matter to Emperor Andrews and...!"
"And what? Inform him of the shameful deed your daughter had done? Which is forbidden as well. And yes father-in-law, I was out since the first day of my marriage with Senmira. His Majesty had sent me on a secret mission that only a few people know about. You can go ask the emperor. And behind my back, your precious daughter that is my concubine is involved in such a heinous and disgusting act. I will take this matter to the emperor myself, you need not to worry!"
Roman spoke in a cold and monotonous voice, though only he knew how much he was elated from within. Finally, he could get rid of this obsessive woman Senmira.
"No! you can't son! How will my Senmira face the other people? Her reputation would be destroyed! And I know that all this is the trap of this country girl Alexandria! I will kill this witch!" Duke Kinsley couldn't control his fury and charged towards Alexandria. But how could he do anything to her within her own house? Before even Roman could reach, Alexandria's maid threw a bucket of freezing water upon the Duke which left him still for a moment. Roman's bodyguards came forth and held the Duke so that he couldn't harm anyone. Duke Kinsley had left his guards outside due to propriety.
"Now, tell me Duke, what should I do with your daughter because I can't live with her now. And there is no evidence that my wife is involved in this. She didn't even know that I was away for a month. She, like everyone thought, that I was in the Capital but was busy in some task, so she didn't meddle in my business unlike your daughter who's making relations with strangers!
Throw some water on them, let us identify the adulterers!" As soon as Roman ordered, the maids threw the water on the bed. "AHHHHH!!!" Three of them shouted simultaneously. Though they should have woken up with all the ruckus going around them, but they didn't.
No one noticed it though till now. It seemed that all three of them came to reality at once. "Dress up everyone and come outside the room in five minutes!" All of the people went out of the room to let the three of them dress up and come outside.
"Huh? What had happened here? Who dared to throw water on me and Roman!?! Roman?....Roman?? Why are you not responding?" Senmira's soul flew out of her body when she saw herself stark naked along with a man and woman. She knew that the man was not Roman. But she exactly remembered that it was Roman with whom she was doing the deed.
How the people changed on the bed, she had no idea. When she concentrated on the individuals on the bed, she got another shock. It was none other Roman's senior guard who helped Duke Kinsley in sending her to Roman's house during the feast. And the woman was none other than her personal maid, Andrea. She was her most trusted servant who would do many dirty things for her.
"Why both of you are naked here? How did you enter my room?" Senmira shouted on them while covering herself.
"My Lady, I don't how I came here! Last thing I remember, is going to sleep in my own quarters! I am being given tasks in the daytime, so I can rest during the nightime!", the guard or the betrayer of the Roman's mansion, Xander spoke.
Andrea was still scared out of her wits after seeing everything around her. She knew that if three or more people were found on the same bed, it wouldn't do them any good. She quietly dressed herself.
After dressing up, Senmira quickly went out of the room and searched Roman. She found her father, Roman and Alexandria standing there. She threw herself on Roman and started wailing, "Roman, it was y...you with whom I was on the bed. How these two came here, I have no idea! Please believe me!"
"How can I believe you, when I saw everything with my own eyes! My spies have told me that you have been doing it behind my back, since I went out of the capital! Now nothing could make me believe that you are innocent!" Roman just wanted to sleep. He wanted all this drama to end, he was really tired.
"Duke Kinsley, I know one of my guards, Xander is your lackey who intoxicated me that day, during the feast with a aphrodisiac whose effect will only last for a short duration of time. Since Xander was the in charge of the security of my carriage that day, he somehow hid Senmira in the carriage, who was dressed as a servant and sent her to my room. The rest everyone knows. So, even if what happened today might not be Senmira's fault, but nothing could be done now. I cannot have her as my concubine anymore. I want to divorce her. It would be better Duke Kinsley, if I divorce her, this is the most peaceful solution, which would not harm Senmira's reputation. One more thing Duke Kinsley, I could not love Lady Senmira. If she was not so obsessed with me, she would have been living her life happily now." Roman stated tiredly.
Senmira was so shocked that she could not say anything. She fainted right away, Andrea supported her. Duke Kinsley went into thought and found this solution to be the best. He would not give into his daughter's demand anymore. He knew that Roman has not even a bit of affection for Senmira and if she got involved into other predicament like this, no one would support her.
"Okay General, I agree. I will send Senmira to her elder brother's home in Sleyrian Empire. The whole capital will have to forget Senmira. She is dead for the whole empire now." saying this, Duke Kinsley went out taking Senmira with him. He ordered her maids to pack up her stuff.
After five days, a news spread like wildfire. The concubine of General Roman, Lady Senmira was killed by some bandits while she was going to visit her relatives outside the Capital...
