"No!"  Adian shouted refusing to do what they wanted him to do.  He could never raise a hand to his Young Master, not after what they went through together.  Adian throws the whip down on the ground and is immediately held down by the assassins and brought in front of Liam. 

"You should have done it yourself.  Then you wouldn't of hurt him as much as we will when we whip him."  Lihua said as she stepped out from the crowd of soldiers.  Lihua wore the same black outfit and mask that everyone wore. 

"No."  Adian whispered as he watches the woman pick up the whip and whips Liam.  Not on his back like Adian thought she would.  But she whips his front.  Marking his chest and legs.  Then her aim started moving higher.  From his chest to his neck and when it hit his face.  Adian struggled to tackle the woman for destroying the beautiful face of his Young Master. With each whack, Liam cries out in pain.  But he was so heavily sedated that he couldn't wake up to see what was happening.  He just felt pain.  

"I told you, you should have done it yourself."  Lihua said as the whips fall more on to his face.  "Now you regret not doing it don't you?"  

"Let me do it."  Adian cried out, not being able to stand her whipping his face.  

"You had your chance." Lihua said as she moved to his back and whips his back as well.  Liam cries out in pain each time as the whip tears into him.  

"Please stop.  Please! I beg you."  Adian pleaded.  

"Did Young Master Laim give mercy to those he tortured and raped?  Did he stop when they asked him to stop?"  Ethan yelled at Adian.  

"Please I'll take his punishment for him."  Adian shouted.  "Just stop hurting him."  

Lihua kept flicking her wrist with the whip and each whack of the whip sounded through out the quiet forest.  

"Do you think I'll let you off so easily?"  Lihua asks as Liam faints from the pain.  Lihua looks at Adian and remembers all the bad things Adiann said to Young Miss Lihua and remembers all the monthly stipend he held back from her courtyard.  Her servants would have to be crafty so they would all survive for the month.  She remembers how Adian would aid her half sisters in convincing Lihua of their good intentions.  And her heart burned with rage.   

"Who-- Who are you?"  Adian asks as he struggles from the hold of the soldiers.  Lihua flicks her whip and it wraps itself around his neck.  Lihua jumps up and over a large tree branch before falling down to the ground, wrapping the whip around it as well.  When she fell, Adian's body pulled up toward the trees.  His body dangling as the whip wines around his neck. His arms pulled behind him as they tie it as well.  He kicks his feet back and forth, barely touching the ground as air constricts from his body.  He gasps for air as he watches the soldiers strip Liam of the rest of his clothes.  

"Stop." Adian whispers as he tries wiggle the whip off his neck.  

"Cut it off."  Lihua said as she watched Adian's face change from desperation to horror to rage then back to desperation when he realized he could do nothing to help his Young Master.  

"Noooooooooooo!"  Adian yelled as they castrate Liam and with one quick movement, the soldier immediately stuffs the castrated penis in Adian's open mouth.  Choking on it as the last bit of air in his lungs are suddenly cut off.  

Adian tries to gag it out, but it was shoved too far back in his throat for him to get it out without help.  Adian felt himself start to suffocate on his beloved's penis, his face turn red from embarrassment and the lack of air.  

The lady who commanded the assassins slowly takes her mask off to show him her face.  When the mask if off, even with the poison marking on her face, he knew who she is.  The evil smile on her face lit up as she could tell he recognized her.  

"You thought you could help get rid of this Young Miss didn't you?"  Lihua said as she stared into Aiden's face.  "This Young Miss remembers everything you did to this Young Miss. Every wrong you committed against this Young Miss and my servants.  This Young Miss will pay back in full."  

Adian couldn't say anything, he was choking on the piece of meat in his throat that closed his breathing pathways.  

"First the bad luck of the Lei Clan, then the sickness, then the fall of everyone, then comes death."  Lihua said as Adian's eye glazes over in the horror of the Young Miss Lihua Lei actually alive and well.  How she survived and became in charge of a group of men, he would never get to know.  

Lihua faces Liam's bleeding body and takes out her sword.  She first hacks off every limb off his body leaving his head to be last.  Not caring when he died, she commanded for his body to be strung high in the market square where everyone can see his battered and dead body, letting the world guess who could it belong to.  Lihua then planned to send Prime Minister Lei each body part once a day until his head would be the last one to send to him.  Where she will then send Adian's head along with Laim's letting Prime Minister Lei know of their interactions between Master and servant.  

Lihua cut down Adian's head from his body. His body dropping to the ground in a thud.  

"Leave his body for the beasts to feast on."  Lihua said as Ethan bags Adian's head.  

Other soldiers takes care of Liam's body and before the sun comes up, a body without legs, arms and a head had been strung up in the central market.  By the time someone notices the body, it was still early mid morning, where the streets started bustling.  Screams from women could be heard as men threw up their breakfast on the street.  A crowd gathered around the body trying to see if there were any birthmarks that could identify the body, but what they could all clearly see was the missing male organ, that all males boast of all the time.
