Chapter 121

Janet widened her eyes in shock.

Andre was brought away by the guards a few hours ago. Why did he end up here in the garden?

And why did they put a snake on his body?

The snake wrapped its body around Andre and tightened its grip, its coils

constricting around him like a living prison.

The serpent’s scales were cool and smooth against his skin, sending chills down his spine.

The guards didn’t look at him. They were having a good time with their poker game. “General Danton asked us to hang you for at least 6 hours,” one of the guards said idly. “How long has it been now?”

“Two hours and a half.”

“You hear that, Master Andre? It was not even half yet. So just shut your mouth and enjoy the night breeze.”

“A-At least, get the snake away!” he begged, half-crying, “I am terrified of it…please!”

“Sorry, kid. No can do,” the guard shrugged with a nasty grin. They all seemed to enjoy the kind of torment that Andre was in.

The snake held Andre firmly in its grasp, its yellow eyes glinting coldly. Andre shivered and tears streamed down his cheek.
