To Find Peace (1×1 w/ Mr.Aznable)

[Mr.Aznable]

She was barely conscious enough to see Ethan being hauled away, screaming. A faint smile crawled across her face before she blacked out again

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He took her to the apothecary, who treated her wounds and gave her an elixir to help the healing. Roberts was pacing, Camilla standing with him.
"Beaten?"
"Half to death." Roberts replied and Camilla gasped, horrified.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Liona lay bedridden and bandaged when Camilla entered.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She about broke down right there. "Oh, Liona!" She wailed and dropped next to her friend, "How could he do this to you? You didn't deserve this...!"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She shakes her head. "It's done now.." she rasped. "Please.. Camilla.. I have a request.. in the shed behind my home.. you will find a small box.. please.. can you bring it to me..?" She asked.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded quickly, "Yes, of course, I'll be right back...!" She said and hurried off to the shed.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Behind a few barrels and buckets, there was the small box, just as described.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She picked it up and carried it back, kneeling next to Liona, "Here, Liona.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Liona smiled and opened it with trembling hands before sighing in relief. Inside the box, was the dress and shoes. "Good.. I was so worried about these.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I'm so glad they're safe.." Camilla muttered, "If you like, you can live with me while Ethan is imprisoned?" But Ares' words rang softly in Liona's head.
"My doors are always open to you."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I.. actually.. I have something in mind.." she said softly.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She blinked and frowned curiously, "What is it?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiled and showed the dress and shoes. "I made sure to keep it safe.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Oh, Liona..." She looked beyond happy, "But what are you going to do...?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"The night of the ball.." she said softly. "I met a very nice gentleman who offered his home to me if I ever should need it.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She gasped softly, "But Liona, you..." Her voice dropped, "you're married.." She whispered.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Liona brushed a tear away. "I was married.. just as I loved Ethan once.. but I am a slave.. and an outlet for his anger.. I am no longer his wife.. I can only hope God will forgive me.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Camilla frowned and gently placed her hand over Liona's, "You promised to cherish and love him for better or worse...but he was the one who failed the marriage..." She said, "If you will be safe with this man...please go with him.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nods and moves to take her ring off. "Here.. give this to someone who will toss this into Ethan's cell... I will talk to the Minister.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Camilla took it and nodded, "I hope you find the happiness you deserve, Liona.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Thank you, Camilla.. thank you for everything.." she said, before slowly passing out again.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She left quietly, allowing her to rest.
Ares was furious when Malix brought him the report.
"Near dead?"
"She has been taken to the healer, Lord." Malix stated, "The man known as Ethan is in prison."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Liona lay bedridden for a few days after before she was able to stand, let alone walk. She moved to see Roberts.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Liona.." He moved to her quickly and looked her over, "Gods, I'm glad I made it to you in time."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She hugs him tight. "I owe you my life and so much more.."
