Caesar ordered people to tie Ronald up. After returning to the tent, he locked him up in the tent where the captives were held.
At night, Irene took the medicine to see Ronald. She was stopped outside the door by the soldiers. “Princess, please don’t make things difficult for us.”
“Father only locked him up. He didn’t say that no one was allowed to visit him. Can I even bring him away under your noses? Get lost!”
“This…” The soldiers looked at each other and were very hesitant.
“Let her in.”
Irene turned to look at Caesar, but he turned around and left after saying that.
Although the tent was not big, it was well-equipped with all the basic necessities. It was also clean and tidy.
Ronald sat on the ground dispiritedly. Both his legs and hands were shackled, like a lion whose teeth had been pulled out. Irene called out to him, “Ronald.”
Ronald immediately looked up. He had dark rings under his eyes, and stubble had appeared. He was far from being as neat and clean as before.
Irene squatted behind him and helped him take off his clothes without saying a word. She looked at the wound and saw faint traces of blood.
Irene’s heart was bitter and unbearable. She carefully took off the bandage, afraid that it would hurt him. “Your wound can’t make contact with water. I’ll get a pail to help you wipe your body later.”
Irene helped him to clean his wound and said, “I still remember when I was forced to marry you. I was thinking about how to escape all day. I didn’t expect that one day I would rush to give you medicine.”
“Of course. You were convinced by my charm,” Ronald said shamelessly.
Irene suddenly pressed against his wound with more force, which made Ronald suck in a breath of cold air. “Hiss…what are you doing? Trying to murder your own husband?”
Irene stretched her head over and looked at Ronald’s slightly tired handsome face. “Hey General Ronald, can you be a little more shameless?”
Ronald didn’t care at all. “Shameless? If I weren’t shameless, I wouldn’t have a wife.”
Irene could be Rhett’s wife at this time.
“Speaking of murdering my husband, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it. On the night of my wedding, I actually prepared a dagger to kill you.”
Ronald turned his head to look at her. “Oh? Then why didn’t you do it?”
Irene had already finished applying the medicine and looked straight into Ronald’s eyes. “Wasn’t it interrupted by George? Besides, I’ve thought about it later. You’re a general, how could I possibly touch you?”
Ronald caressed Irene’s face. “You can’t move, but you can escape. To think that I went to learn saxophone for you. When I found out that you ran away, I felt like I had fed my heart to dogs.”
Irene didn’t expect this. She grabbed Ronald’s hand. “There won’t be a next time. You actually went to learn saxophone for me. It seems that I’m quite charming. General Ronald fell in love with me so early.”
Irene wrapped her arms around Ronald’s neck and said very seriously, “There won’t be a next time. Unless you don’t want me, I won’t leave you.” After saying that, she took the initiative to kiss Ronald’s lips.
Ronald quickly took the initiative in his hands. Irene’s cheeks were red from the kiss before she withdrew from his embrace. “It’s very late. I’ll go get some water to wipe your body.” After saying that, she ran out of the tent as if she was running away.
Ronald looked at Irene’s back. Why was she still shy?
Irene carried a basin of water and walked into the tent slowly.
Ronald heard the movement and looked up. He quickly got up and took the basin from Irene’s hands.
But the moment he got up, the shackles on his body jingled. Irene looked at his back and felt her heart ache.
First he was abandoned by Croce, and now he was willing to become a prisoner for her. What had Irene done to deserve this mighty general to do this for her?
