Zhan's pov:-

Roland's men shoved me and others inside the prison and shut the door. I sighed and just sat back on the bench.

"What the fuck did just happen?" Ayla asked as she sat beside me, "why did he locked us here!"

I sighed and said, "that bastard enjoys fucking with people."

Kairos spoke next, "What kind of deranged fucker does this, and what are his plan? what will he do next?"

I opened my eyes and looked at all of them and said, "he is going to torture us." I said with a serious face and their eyes widened.

"What the fuck do you mean that he is going to torture us?" Ayla spoke as she got up, "how will he torture us? And why? We are innocent."

Even Kairos looked worried and I could see the sweat forming on his forehead and I said, "he might not do much, light torture would include removing our nails, beating a person till he or she faints, or breaking our bones and so on..."

I could see Ziyi shiver, while Haoxuan held a straight face, I am sure he was more worried about my safety. While Ayla and Kairos were about to lose it.

Finally Ayla said, "Why does prince Simon want to recruit this lunatic? He is so dangerous!"

Kairos spoke as well, "well, if our leader wants it then we do it. I can do anything for our goal. A little bit of torture is nothing."

Ayla also nodded and the two looked seriously at each other and then at me and in the end I couldn't control myself and just laughed and that shocked them.

"You were joking!" Ayla shrieked while Kairos smiled with me as well. Ziyi sighed with relief and sat down as well.

"Fuck you Zhan." Kairos spoke, "you scared us there." Ayla stared as us before she smiled as well.

Suddenly the air around the cell changed and I heard a voice, "I see you guys are having fun huh." I looked up and saw Roland standing in front of our cell, he was looking at us with a smirk on his face.

I got up and stood in front of him with the metal door of the cage in between us, "Roland, let us out, we are here because we have something important to talk to you. I have a message from prince Simon."

Roland smirked, "hm... I will let you go but you have to do something for me."

I rolled my eyes, "what is it?"

Roland just smirked at me and I knew that he was not going to let us go so slowly.

~~

"Son of a bitch!" I said as I washed the dishes with Ziyi beside me, my comment earned me a glare from Roland's soldiers who were guarding me and Ziyi making sure that we get the work done.

While Kairos, Ayla were given the task of washing clothes and Haoxuan was asked to work in the kitchen.

I sighed as I focused on washing the dishes. And just when we were about to finish washing the dishes Roland came and dump at least hundred more dishes in front of us.

Ziyi nearly cried while I couldn't take it anymore and just got up, "Roland it's enough!" I yelled at him and suddenly there were swords pointing at me and Ziyi held my arm, while I glared at the smirking Roland.

He was happy to finally get under my skin. Roland loved making people angry. Loved making them lose their cool.

And unfortunately he got under my skin too, "Roland, I had thought all these years on the battlefield must have made you grow up but you are still the immature child, who still hasn't learned anything about the world. Still a privileged brat."

Now that got under his skin because Roland was not smiling anymore, and he was angry. Roland hated being called immature and privileged.

Roland finally spoke, "watch what you say to me Zhan."

"Oh did that hurt?! But you are an immature brat because if you had even a little bit of decency and maturity you would have asked that why am I here, a person who wouldn't even look at you has come here to talk to you. And is entertaining your bullshit, you would have thought that it must be something important, but you will think like that only if you have that level of maturity and decency.

But unfortunately you are nothing but a privileged brat who was handed down everything to him since he was a child and you had to work for nothing basically."

With that Roland was pissed, he grabbed my collar and raised his hand to punch me, while I just smirked and said, "oh, now raising had at an unarmed person, wow Roland you are so strong."

I clapped my hand. And Roland just shoved me back. And glared at me.

I glared at me and said, "I want my team back here and if you dared to hurt any of my people you will have an army to face, my brother and prince Simon will not take this disrespect slightly. My people are not your servant!

They are entertaining you because of me. And if you are ready to listen to what I have to say then let's talk otherwise I will leave." I then went closer to him and said, "honestly I don't think that you are worth my time, but since prince Simon had asked me talk to you, I will still give you a chance."

Roland was pissed, he hated me called a child, he hated when people disregarded all his achievement and also saw him as a product of nepotism and he hated when people underestimated him or hurt his ego and I just did all of them.

Roland was glaring and I was glaring back at him, holding his gaze. Daring him to try fucking with me one more time.

In the end Roland spoke, "bring him to my quarters."
