《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 378 - Banquet preparation
Advertisement
His kiss began to grow hungrier as if he had been starving for it. He suċkėd and bit her lips relishing the taste of it, his eyes closed on its own and slowly his tongue invaded her mouth.
Rachel was reluctant at first but then she began to loose control and get involved in it. She allowed him to enter into her mouth without putting any resistance. Both of them had their eyes closed and they were lost in this moment until Rachel began to struggle for breath and he finally let her go.
He looked into her eyes and said in a threatening tone "You belong to me, try changing it and there will be consequences."
Robert's gaze was so intense on her that she could not even look straight into his eyes, she looked at the side and swallowed hard. She could not understand what was happening, how could a person make her feel like this as if she was completely powerless in front of him. She knew that she was the most powerful witch but right now she felt like she was the weakest thing alive but after a while she collected herself and told herself that she is no longer a weak human and she can not let this person win. She stared back at him and said "We will see to it."
Robert smirked and then let out a little laugh as he said "What a stubborn person."
He then captured her lips with his without any warning and she tried to push him away but instead of letting go, he bit her lower lip so hard that she winced in pain and closed her eyes shut. He pulled her closer to him and slowly his tongue invaded her mouth and started exploring it as if it had landed in the most satisfying place and the only place it wanted. He was enjoying the feeling when Rachel used her complete strength to push him and punched him in the face "How dare you!"
As Robert fell on the ground, she took the opportunity to run away a little and very soon she spread her wings and flew away. She didn't risk running far away for the fear that he would catch up to her but she made sure to get out of his sight before flying.
She flew straight to her land, her place of peace and where she was in charge, the place where she felt most at home now 'Warkinles'.

As the queen had come back without any prior notice all the witches became more alert, they felt that maybe a danger was coming but before they could ask, the queen went straight to the throne room.
Rachel sat on the throne and all the witches that followed her looked at her with worry because since the time she had become the queen, they had never seen her this angry, she looked at them and realized that she was not behaving like a queen so she took in a deep breath to calm herself down and then said in a soft tone "I am sorry to come here abruptly but we are not facing any problem and it is just because I want to relax so you don't have to be worried about anything. Just continue doing your work."
As they were about to leave she realized that Robert might try to enter this land so she said "I have something that I need to be taken care of as soon as possible."
The witches turned to look at her and she explained "Now that we know the leader of the evil witches is really strong, I want the security at the borders of this land to increased."
The witches bowed their head and went out to follow the orders as they wanted to protect their land, their only native city well. This place had always been well protected that was the reason that it was never exposed but if someone were to know about this magical and the most beautiful place that existed , there would surely be a chaos all over.
When everyone went out Rachel rested her head against the back of the throne and closed her eyes to sort out her messed up thoughts when she heard Rafel calling her "Rachel"
She opened her eyes and smiled at him "Finally you have decided not to call me the queen."
He smiled and she continued "What are you doing here?"
He looked at her "It is a good thing that you are here or I would have to come to call you because the witches in the city are getting restless. They had always been the weakest and even if you came there was not much change in their power so they are worried that you are someone who I trying to cheat them. The once that you have met all belong to the royal castle as they have some positions but no it is the time that you meet the witches in the city too so they don't feel that you are neglecting them."

Rachel thought about it before she said "I had been so busy with other things that this skipped my mind but they are my people and it is my duty to built my trust in them. We will arrange a banquet and invite them then I will talk to them and make sure that they can trust me. What happened to the things that I had arranged for the people in the city?"
Rafel was a little uneasy saying this but anyhow he said "They are doubting all the good changes you are making in the city and everyone is reluctant to trust you."
Rachel smiled "Don't worry, they will eventually trust me."
After saying that she called in a few people and asked them to arrange for the banquet and send out the invitations. Very soon the preparations began and Rafel said to her "Now that I have done my job, I will take my leave, you can continue to take your rest."
Rachel nodded her head as this problem was almost solved and then rested against her throne again because she had been totally exhausted today both mentally and physically. She closed her eyes and thought to herself that she had to get rid of this person from her life and the best thing for her was to stay in Warkinles for a few days and think of a solution to get rid of this person. She made the decision and then focused on regaining her energy, after she was done she sent a messenger to Jessica that she would be staying in the castle until the banquet which was after a week and told her to take care of the company until then, she also asked her to inform Jamie.
Jessica thought that she was doing this for the banquet and had already sought out everything with Robert so she was feeling very happy as she went to Jamie to give her the news. She too didn't think much of it but it and was excited about the banquet, it was only Rachel who knew that Robert would never be able to find her. Even if he tried, he could not enter this place and she was satisfied about that for now, she wanted to train herself in this week to get more stronger and not show any weakness in front of him. She just wanted to get away from him as soon as possible as she had realized how toxic he was for her.
After she was done with her recuperation, she went to her personal training room to exercise, they had special machines that tested their powers and helped them to train in order to increase them, you just had to set the target and time period and you would get a customized training schedule but it had punishments too if something was skipped or missed so it was something that required commitment and willpower. Rachel was not afraid of this so she began her training as soon as she entered the room. She set a program for herself for a week and began to do as she was instructed without missing anything, she didn't feel tired as she trained with the only motive of escaping Robert.
Robert had fell to the ground after being pushed away and he stared at the back of the running figure as Rachel ran away for him. He smiled thinking that he could reach wherever she was with the connection he had created with her so he waited for a while before getting up but when she did, he suddenly felt his connection being lost. He panicked and quickly teleported to the place where he could still feel a faint connection but he ended up outside the gates of Warkinles. His eyes widened in shock but as he still could not feel any connection, he thought he had ended up in the wrong place so he went back. He tried to teleport to her a few more times but always ended up at this place and mow he was totally confused and worried. He went to his own castle which was nearby and entered his room trying to figure out who this person was, who could just vanish like thin air without any trace
