Even the most beautiful flower brings out its thorns in the face of a threat

A scream woke Azai and me in the morning

/ A murderer! /

We ran out of bed and ran towards the voice, as we got closer I realized where the screams were coming from, they were coming from my rooms.

When we arrived the window was open and an omega servant of my entourage was white as the feathers of a swan, she was staring in terror at the window, I ran and leaned out only to see a tall and muscular man dressed in black scamper away.

My rooms are on the second floor, the fine bones of an omega would break at that height and a beta would surely get a fracture or injury, so we only have one possible type of suspect, it was an alpha.

-He is an alpha of approximately 2.10m, strong complexion, I could not see his face or hair, he was well covered, he wears black, if we close the castle doors we can lock him inside-

Azai was quick to react after my words

^ Close the castle gates now! ^

The guards ran to transmit the order and the large metal doors closed, now only the most difficult thing remained, finding the murderer.

Azai made all the Alpha guards meet in the dining room, the betas patrol the castle in search of the intruder, as we still do not know if the murderer is an intruder or if he is a guard we had to resort to extreme measures.

Azai made all the alphas remove their armor and undress, remaining only in pants, meanwhile the maid and I looked at them one by one to see if we recognized the murderer.

All the guards were tall and strong, but none were as tall as the assassin.

-It is none of them, the highest is about 1.95 approximately and does not have the same amount of muscle mass-

^ They can get dressed ^ Azai said calmly

The guards finished dressing, but they stayed in the living room, if we let them out the intruder could dress like them and sneak away.

As Azai and I walked through the corridors talking we heard the beta guards yelling

/ Is here! /

Azai and I ran and we saw him, that was the alpha responsible, he had golden skin like wheat and bright green eyes like the forest, he was tall, very tall, with my barely 1.60m tall I had to look up to see his face.

-You are surrounded, surrender- I said firmly

/ Why should I do it? /

Suddenly he took out a knife and threw it, I felt a strong blow that knocked me to the ground, but no cut or puncture.

I looked in the direction the blow came from and saw Azai still with his arm outstretched and with the knife stuck in the elbow joint.

- Azai! - I yelled getting up and going to see how I was

^ I'm fine ^

/ You are not, that knife carries a special poison, it will spread and when it reaches the heart it will spread throughout the body / The assassin said with all the beta guards on top of him

Fear consumed me, I've never felt so weak and pathetic

- Call a doctor! - One of the few guards who were not on top of the murderer ran away, I meanwhile removed the belt from my waist and made a tourniquet on Azai's arm while tears ran down my cheeks.

^ Don't cry, it's nothing, that poison was for you and I'm much bigger than you, I'm sure nothing will happen to me ^ Azai's big and warm hand rested on my cheek wiping my tears with his thumb.

I couldn't stop crying, I felt a lot of fear and a lot of guilt.

The doctor did not take long to arrive and took Azai to treat his injuries, once Azai was gone, all my sadness and guilt transformed into a destructive and infinite rage

"Take him to the dungeons now!" I yelled at the guards, they shrank for a moment, you could see the fear on their faces, only the gods know what face he would have at that moment.

They quickly took him away and I went after him, in the dungeon they took all his clothes except his underwear in case he had hidden weapons and they tied him with chains to a metal chair that was attached to the floor

-Leave us alone now- I said with a calm that terrified everyone, even the killer himself made a face of fear for a thousandth of a second.

All the guards left, but before the last one came out I asked him a favor

-Tell Nuro to bring ut catt dret Seletimaeus- The confused guard nodded and left.

-You know? 700 years ago my country was divided into many parts and there was a great war, nobody is proud of that past, but interesting ways were invented to make spies speak, they were so horrible that they were banned when the war ended and the country was unified. , but here they are not prohibited-

The alpha began to sweat, but he held his ground.

/ I am not afraid of you, I am trained for this, I will not speak /

-That we'll see- Just when I finished saying that Nuro entered the dungeon with a bag

/ Here's what you asked for, but ... Are you sure about this? / Nuro asked, his face showing disapproval and sadness at the same time.

-Yes, now leave us alone- Nuro nodded and left the dungeon

-What I am going to do to you is so horrible that it receives the name of ut catet dret Seletimeo, it means the wrath of the gods, it has several phases and there is a version for omegas and for alphas, in your case the procedure is simple- I said searching in the bag

"I'll inject this first," I said, taking a bottle out of the bag.

-It is a powerful aphrodisiac, it will make your penis strong and hard like iron, then this comes- I said taking a cylinder out of the bag

-It is called "boru dret kiru" or the mouth of pain, it is filled with spikes and you know where it goes, and last but not least is this- I took out a thin metal stick attached to a wooden handle

-This is heated in a fire such as that of the torches that are lighting us, then it is introduced through the open end of the mouth of the pain entering inside the penis. Any questions? -

/ Because you explain it to me instead of doing it / Said the murderer with hatred on his face

-It's easy, psychological torture is also very useful, I can see the terror on your face now that you know what will happen to you, after the torture according to the records 98% bleed to death, you know, all the blood goes to the penis and it comes out through the holes-

With that said, I started to fill the syringe with the liquid.

-Oh, I forgot, how stupid I am, this liquid also increases the sensations, normally you would feel more pleasure than ever if you used it to have sex, but since we are going to use it for something else, what you will feel is the worst pain of all your lifetime-

/ I'll talk, I'll talk, please don't /

A smile formed on my face

-Good boy-
