❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 9) ❤️❤️

Meanwhile in Warlord Emera House:

Rumi's Room:

Rumi was seen pacing around her room, up in the ceiling. Her hands together in her back.

Why couldn't I understand what that Dwarf said to Juno?

"I am the strongest of them all and still yet I can't understand what that stinking old Dwarf was telling Juno," Rumi said to herself. "Why didn't even Juno spill it out when her father asked her. I'm dying to know what that Dwarf said to her."

The knocking on the door quickly made Rumi jump down silently on the floor and went to the bed.

"Co-me in," Rumi said in a pretend tired voice.

Grace opened the door and walked in carrying a plate of soup with her. "Sorry I know you must be tired Rumi, I made you soup to eat and regain your strength before Juno and your father returns." Grace told her with a smile and gave her the soup.

Rumi collected the soup and took a deep breath before she exhaled and smiled back at Grace. Using the spoon inside the plate to scoop some of the soup and ate it to the delight of Grace.

Grace left and quickly returned with a sword. Her sword. It has been long she has used it to fight. She was once a student of Warlord Emera; his best student and was good with swords. She and Warlord Emera both fell in love with each other and they got married. She stopped training the new students who came to learn martial arts when she discovered she was pregnant with Juno.

"I saw what you did to that blind seer Rumi. I first got there before my husband did; you know Juno learned how to walk quietly from me. I heard everything that you said to the seer Rumi so before you make that first move in killing my family. I will have to kill you first." Grace told her with a smile.

"Well since you know that why didn't you kill me. Why wait till now?" Rumi asked with a cruel look.

"I wanted to make sure my family is safe from your evil self before I carry out my plan. Luckily for me, today is the perfect day to kill you. That's why I poisoned your food. You are going to die either with my sword or by the poison or together but you know me. I choose the third option for you"

Rumi started laughing and finished the soup, wiping her mouth. "You got it wrong Grace, poison or whatever you put in the soup won't harm me. I am immune to poisons.

"Well I am still not scared of you," Grace said trying to hide her panic. That was the deadliest poison she had gotten from the blind seer when she went to visit the seer the previous night. Telling the blind seer what had witnessed prompted the seer to give her the poison.

"I wanted to make you the second person to die but now you will be replacing Juno who was supposed to be the first person I kill."
