When the young general saw that lady Regina did not push him away he got excited and started helping her take off her clothes. Lady Regina did not try to stop him she cooperated and even helped him take off his clothes.
Some people have twisted personalities and like doing things that put their lives in danger. This young general knew well enough that it will be the end of him if the king ever found out about his affair with her but he did not mind.
To him, being able to bed the Queen was a good thing. He felt as though he was equal with the king to be able to bed his woman. Moreover, lady Regina was very generous and gave him a lot of good coins.
With so much gold Goin he could visit the inn and spend so much money without thinking too much of it. He was still young and the Queen has promised to increase his status once her son sits on the throne. At that time he might even be able to marry a beautiful young lady from a noble family.
Thinking of all he stands to benefit, the young general was very happy to serve lady Regina. It was only a matter of time and he will become part of the noble. His birth mother worked in the inn so it was impossible to know who his father was. Unlike many of the young ladies that abandoned their children, his mother has handed him to a poor couple with two children.
She sends gold coins to this family to take care of him, but these people neglect him. They were fun of insulting him about his birth parent. They Said his mother was a prostitute yet they did not mind collecting her money and spending it.
It was fortunate that he was very skilled with the sword and easily joined the Royal Army. He was a very fine man, so the Queen has set her eyes on him as soon as she saw him.
Now all this young general could think about was becoming a noble and going back to take his revenge on his adopted parents and siblings.
While the Queen and the young General were engrossed in their activities. They did not seem to notice the presence of another thing.
This thing sigh as it moved on the floor, its fork tongue was going back and forth. It gently climb the bed and then it went toward the two bodies on the bed.
It had a small mission and it was to bite the person on the bed. Without wasting time it lips made contact with the legs closed to him.
The young General suddenly felt something cold, before his brain could register was it was he felt the bite and the pain that followed.
He screamed out of shock and pain. He unconsciously jumped out of bed but he could not feel his left legs that have been bitten by the snake so he fell on his bottom.
Lady Regina was shocked at his sudden reaction and his expression of pain.
"What is it," she asked, she sudden worried but she was angry. That anger turned to fear and she also jumped out of the bed when she saw the shape eyes and the dark body rolled up on her bed.
The snake looked at the people and without any reaction, it turned its head and left as if, its mission was completed. Lady Regina was too frightened to kill the snake and the young General was in so much pain.
The poison from the snake was gradually spreading.
"Quick call the royal physician?" he shouted at the Queen. Life was indeed precious, no one was willing to die. Especially not a man who thought he has a promising future.
Lady Regina just looked at him, the oil lamp was burning faintly but she could see how the expression of the man became darker and darker.
Lady Regina has never been so frightened in her life. She had never encountered a snake in her life, so her fear was something expected. Even if the Snake had already disappeared from her sight she felt as if it was still staring at her. When her brain finally started to work she dash out and instructed the only maid present to go and call the physician.
When the maid saw her appearance she could tell what the woman was doing. She has been my lady Regina''s side for years so she knew about her inappropriate behavior. She had heard the scream early but she did not dare to take a look at what was going on.
She was afraid that lady Regina would be angry and scold her again so she decided to pretend like she heard nothing. It turns out it was something serious.
"My lady if words get out, I am afraid his majesty will not forgive you," the maid said. When lady Regina heard her voice she came back to her senses.
The Royal physician was a man with moral integrity. After seeing the young general in such a state in her bed-chamber he might realize what is going on.
The king will definitely not accept this behavior. He might just throw her into the dungeon for the sake of the children they had together.
Lady Regina did not know what to do so she went back to her room and had the maid follow her. She honestly did not was the young General to die in her quarters.
"The Royal physician can not come over here. Our relationship will be exposed and we can both forget about staying alive. Here put this on him," she handed a long black robe to the maid.
The maid took a deep breath and collected the robe. To be sincere she was frightened when she saw the man''s state.
The person seems to be in si much pain. Moreover, he was naked. How could lady Regina let her see such a sight?
She cursed lady Regina in her heart but she did not voice out her thoughts. At the end of the days, she blamed herself. If only she had gone for the royal ball like the rest of the servant she would not witness such a sight.
She wanted to ask what happened to him, since she was unaware but remembering what kind of a person lady Regina is, she swallowed her curiosity. She did not want to get hit by lady Regina.
The young General could feel how his lower body was getting weaker and weaker. He did not have the energy or time to argue with lady Regina, so he decided to go along with her plans.
The only thing he could think about was living. Just as the maid was putting on the man''s cloth the door to the room was pushed open.
Lady Regina and the maid naturally looked towards the door. Lady Regina thought it was one or both of her children. She felt ashamed knowing that her children will find out about this side of her. She had been in too much panic just now that she did not hear the footsteps. She already thought of an excuse to give to her children when they walk in
When the people behind the door finally showed their faces, lady Regina could not help but bury her face to the ground.
"How could this be?" this was the only thing that played over and over again in her head.
