Chapter 144 Preparations For The Dungeon 4 (Alexis)
The maid ran through the halls and the large manor.
Going through the kitchen as the chefs worked, she followed through a cupboard and then she crawled her way through until she arrived at another closed opening.
She knocked in a rhythm manner on the closed opening.
"I'm coming!" A voice from the other side answered and a wardrobe was moved to the side to reveal a beautiful young woman in a small room.
"Lady Alexis!" The maid called to her the moment she saw her.
She Was a beautiful woman. However, she was pale of skin and looked to be frail.
She was so pale that it affected the color of her dark hair as some of it was as white as snow.
It was like she had never seen the sun since the day she was born.
One look at her and it was easy to tell that she was suffering from an ailment.
This was Alexis, daughter and only hair to this family.
The Title of GrandDuke was a hereditary one.
This was the Isaac family. It was one of three families of the GrandDuke.
From birth, Alexiswas destined for great things.
However, the heavenly Dao had played a trick on this family by a cultivation accident that occurred a few years ago.
She got cultivation poisoning when she was about to break through to the next rank.
Since then, her cultivation had become stagnant and her health had also deteriorated.
Being a very wealthy and influencial man, her father who was a GrandDuke had spread his wealth far and wide for an antidote but her meridians had become too damaged to heal.
All the priests that came to her aid all said that it was a miracle that she was still alive.
Of course, the reason why she managed to have survived the event was attributed to her pure bloodline.
The Isaacs were said to carry the blood of the three legged Crow.
This was an incredible divine beast of legends.
Alexis was said to have been born with the purest of it's bloodline seen in the history of the family.
However, she was now relegated to a cripple.
Her father even against her own wish married her off to his favorite disciple.
She hated this new life she had been relegated to live.
She had tried to run away twice already. But unfortunately, she could not go too far because of her health and was caught every time.
Now, she had become a prisoner in her own home.
She was locked in this underground room, never to leave until she produced a child that will become heir.
"Lady Alexis, I have good news!" The maid announced.
"It is just as you guessed. The dungeon that appeared the other day carries an anchor stone in it. It is the Gold Stone of Healing!"
"Are you sure?" Alexis asked again.
"Of course I'm sure! I heard the GrandDuke talk about it." The maid boasted of her spying skills.
"If that's true, then that means that stone...it can..."
*Knock!* Knock!!* Knock!!!*
The knock on the door of the room interrupted her words.
Immediately, the maid went back into the hole, and Alexis pushed the wardrobe back.
"Who's there!?" Alexis answered.
"It's me, my wife!"
Hearing the cocky voice made her frown.
"You may enter!"
She gave her permission and he entered the room.
She might be a prisoner in her own home, but she was still a noble woman.
Luke had to at least give her that much regard.
Gently, the door opened and he stepped into it.
"My lady," he stepped forward, with a hand hiding behind his back.
"I brought you something," he revealed the hidden hand and in them was a bouquet of flowers.
"I was strolling through the yard and saw how pretty they looked. It reminded me of you!"
He took several steps forward as he presented it to her.
However, she did not even want to look at him.
"Thank you, you may put it in the jaw on the table."
Her tone was neither overbearing nor welcoming.
In fact, it had a touch of cold to it.
Luke did not mind. This was not the first time she had acted distant from him.
Ever since he could remember, It has always been so.
"You know, my dear," he took a bold step towards her, closing the distance between them.
"Ever since the day I saw you, I have always dreamt about you. Your eyes, your beauty!" he took her hands in his own but she immediately pulled back.
"Your coldness!! It is all a part of your charm that I can't resist. I always wanted you for myself, and I prayed the stars day and night for you to be mine."
She stepped back again, but this was the last step she could take.
She was already up against the wall.
She tried to move away...
*Bam!* His hand against the wall stopped her.
He drew closer to her, but she removed her face from his own.
"The heavens in their mercy answered my prayers and now, you are mine!"
He pulled her face by her jaw towards his own.
She tried to resist, her strength was lacking compared to his.
"However, since our marriage till this moment, we are yet to consumate our marriage."
He immediately forced his lips on hers.
She struggled but could not push him off.
As he forced himself on her, he ripped her clothes with his other hand.
The sight of her bare skin made his eyes shine bright.
He could not help but lick his lower lips as his body enjoyed the feel of his arousal.
This was Arousal she could also feel pressed against her body.
She struggled but he would not get off.
Just then, Wardrobe moved a little.
She looked at the maid in her hiding spot.
The maid wanted to come out, but Alexis shook her head. If she came out, her hiding spot would be revealed.
"You are my wife! You have bedroom duties to fulfill..."
