After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 974

"BITCHHH!!" He roared, standing up after a few seconds of struggling. Unsurprisingly, the noise alerted the guards outside and they immediately knocked to check on their master.

Unlike Alterra, insulation here wasn’t particularly special, so any loud noise could still be heard outside.

"Sir! Are you okay?" they yelled, knocking on the door, no doubt prepared to get inside even if by force as soon as they found out Eshno was in danger.

"I’m fine! She’s a fighter!" Eshno yelled back. "I’ll be fine! I’ll teach her a lesson! Don’t bother me!!" And soon he was up and hovering above her again, but this time much less gentle.

Cassandra bit her lips, extremely disappointed. She had hoped he would lose consciousness at least. But instead, it just angered him.

He forcefully opened her legs as wide as he could, about to enter her. Cassandra struggled hard, the connections of the ropes to the wood creaking a bit.

Although she couldn’t do anything to the rope, maybe she could do something about where it was tied to!

However, even if it was working, it wasn’t working fast enough. She gasped in terror, feeling the man’s tip about to enter her—

Slash!

Eshno suddenly stopped moving. Cassandra didn’t stop struggling, not daring to lower her guard. However, when she felt a bit of liquid squirting on her, and her eyes shifted to the man above her.

Eshno was now holding his neck as if gasping for breath. She took it as her chance to scoot back and close her legs, but her arms did not stop struggling. She didn’t know what was going on, but she knew better than to watch him gather himself again! _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

This was until she saw Eshno’s head slowly slide to the side, leaving a headless body kneeling on the bed.

"Wha—"

Her mouth opened as a scream threatened to escape her mouth, but a callused hand covered it, muffling whatever sound she was about to make.

"Shh…" Gill said, face red in repressed anger, kicking the still-upright body backward and off the bed. "I’m here now…," he said, whispering, enveloping her with his arms.

He was shaking, and his eyes were lined with tears as he buried his head on her shoulder.

Jacoba, in favor of the many fighters that went through them, also didn’t prohibit fighting within the territory. They simply added a lot of tax for damages. Anyway, rules would be null during wars so they didn’t see much point to it—as most territories did.

Unfortunately, there would also be plenty of times when it would be working against them.

For instance, now, where a very important guest had been beheaded and no alarm was sounded at all.

Cassandra gaped at the man who was hugging her. Her eyes were wide and her heart was completely in disbelief. She did not even notice when he untied the rope around her hands.

"Y-You…?" she mumbled, raising her shaking hands to touch his handsome face. Gill leaned into her palm.

"It’s me," he said. "I’m so sorry I’m late."

"Gill! Wuuu…" she buried her head on his chest, her cries muffled by his wide shoulder.

After a while of crying, she opened her eyes to stare at him again, and then at the place where Eshno was just at.

The kill was done so cleanly, that except for the small splash during the beheading, not much blood splashed on the bed.

"I was so scared…"
