Forced To Marry The Devil : A Crazy Love Saga

304 304. Dying under Markus's knife



Markus gritted his teeth but used the same opportunity to strike back at grandpa.

Grandpa, who had slowed down a little due to being a little relieved while partially due to being out of breath from old age, wasn’t expecting such a fast reflex attack.

His neck was directly split horizontally with blood gushing out of it, spraying on Markus’s face as well while he caught his breath after the super action four minutes of his life.

Even at the moment of death, grandpa’s eyes carried nothing but shock of dying this way under Markus’s knife.

Markus, knowing that he didn’t have much time, threw the old bones away, getting up while groaning a little.

His brain worked at the speed of 400 miles per hour before coming up with his escape plan.

He climbed out of the same window he had broken in from. He was still looking around, searching for some rope or other support to climb up when he suddenly heard a voice.

“Here.” The voice said, low but firm.

Markus instantly turned to look above, where the Imperial doctor was standing, holding a rope that he had passed upto him.

“I am heavy. Tie the rope somewhere. I will climb.” Markus whispered while holding the rope tightly with both of his hands, warning the Imperial doctor.

“And I am stronger than your imagination.” The Imperial doctor said before pulling the rope, successfully managing to get Markus off his feet in one single pull.

“You should seriously tie the rope somewhere. I’ll climb.” Markus said slowly one more time.

“You can not climb with an injured arm.” The Imperial doctor replied before giving the rope another pull, lifting Markus above.

Once Markus just a meter lower than the Imperial doctor, he climbed the edges of the window he had jumped from, entering the deserted room in one swift motion.

“Thanks.” Markus said while catching his breath, directly lying on ground out of exhaustion as well as the slight effect of the poison.

But the Imperial doctor, without wasting another second, directly started opening Markus’s shirt buttons, knowing what came next.

“Shit! This is bad.” Even the Imperial doctor couldn’t help but curse after watching Markus’s chest injury.

Markus kept quiet, letting the Imperial doctor examine his wounds properly. The Imperial doctor took out a vial from his robe and poured it half over his chest injury, which had started to turn greenish black. Next he tied a tourniquet around his left arm to stop the spread of poison from limbs to the body.

“The chest poison seems to be fresh so only pouring this medicine first will stop its spread. But the arm injuries are almost a minute old, they have already started spreading a little but we don’t have more time. We will have to leave this place quickly.” The Imperial Doctor said while Markus simply nodded, slowly getting up.

“I will support you, till then you apply this on your hand stabs. It’s the same poison as your chest.” The Imperial doctor said.

“That old man was no joke.” Markus said while taking the vial from the Imperial doctor.

“Yeah. He deserved this though. He has done a lot of black deeds, raising the Professor this way being the topmost.” The Imperial doctor said without masking his hatred for the grandpa.

“I decided to leave through gate 7, and take the sea route.” Markus said, knowing he didn’t have much time to escape, so he should let The Imperial doctor take him that same way.

“Maybe you will cross the gates, but he will easily catch you in the sea, especially now that dawn is beginning, it would be easier.” The Imperial doctor said while walking towards another door which was hidden behind a curtain.

“Let’s move now. Professor won’t need much time to find you if he visits this room.” The Imperial doctor said while pulling Markus along with him through the door.

As earlier, he kept taking various turns before ending up in front of a hidden tunnel, just that the tunnel was much bigger than the tunnel Markus had come through.

Both of them entered a little when the Imperial doctor stopped. There was pitch darkness inside and Markus had to turn his torch on to watch things around.

Once the torchlight was on, the Imperial doctor didn’t waste another minute to quickly take out more vials and powders.

He immediately applied two more on the chest injury, making Markus hiss from its burning sensation.

“This wound will take the longest to heal.” He said and then moved to his left forearm to apply the same.

“There is one more on the back.” Markus said.

The Imperial doctor instantly removed Markus’s shirt completely.

“Python.” He sighed.

“Yeah that old man called the same name before that man striked.” Markus answered.

The Imperial doctor took out a blade before he scraped the edges of cut wound as Markus didn’t say a single word but inhaled sharply.

“The poison kills surrounding tissue and spreads the same way, killing nearby cells and tissue. Thus I am scraping the cut edges so that the dead cells are removed to stop its spread.” The Imperial doctor explained.

After applying two medicines over Markus’s back wound, he finally covered the shirt back on his body.

“Keep going through this tunnel till the end. Once you are out, you will find a forest. Keep following the Judas trees, they will lead you to a shorter sea route, which will be entering directly in country F. I need to go now or else the Professor would find out about this.” The Imperial doctor said.

Markus had wanted to speak a lot but alas he didn’t say all those things.

“Thank you.” Was the only thing he said before nodding when the Imperial doctor was to turn around, but suddenly called out Markus again.
