บท 193: The cat's out of the bag

Roxana fought the best that she could as they tied her up and forced a piece of cloth into her mouth before tying it in place. 

"What did you do to your face?" Ulric asked. 

She just glared at him. 

"Oh right. You can't speak." He taunted with a chuckle. "You are much more appealing when silent."

She cursed at him but it only came out as a strangled sound. "Are you cursing at me?" He asked grabbing her already bruised face. He pressed hard on the bruise she got from the fight with Ronny. 

Roxana tried to move her face away, but he grabbed her by the hair to hold her still. "Does that hurt?" he asked pressing harder. "What will you do now when you can't speak with that smart mouth of yours?" 

What would she do? She was doomed. He was going to take her to the king where she would not only have to see his disappointed face but also endure torture afterward and then die at the end.
