Ch. 59 Desperate

After Lori finished eating, Richard ordered the maid to take his daughter back to her room. Then Richard ordered another servant to bring a pet dog in the kennel to the food room.

The maid was dumbfounded by that strange order but remained silent since she had been trained not to ask any of her master's orders.

While waiting for the maid to take the dog, Richard and Anxia looked at each other without making a sound. The two's expressions were still the same, blank look with no emotion on their faces. But each emitted sharp eyes that could make anyone who saw them break out in a cold sweat.

Richard looked at Anxia with an interested gaze while Anxia didn't hide her intention to draw the knife she held into Richard's neck.

Anxia was exceptionally skilled at using knives, not for cooking, but for taking human lives. So she knew she would have killed Richard easily using this meat course knife. Yet, she knew Richard wouldn't let her harm him that easily.
