Meanwhile, Ulysses was finishing up with some last
reports so that he could know how everything was going and when he
and Virgil were finished they both headed to their rooms. Ulysses
let out a breath as he got to his room where he took out his key to
unlock the door and when he tried to do just that, he found that
his door was already unlocked. He knew he locked his door before he
left so he silently pulled his sword, then quietly opened the door
and walked into his room, quietly closing the door behind him. He
looked around the sitting room where he found nothing suspicious or
out of place so he continued to his bedroom. When he was in his
room he looked around then heard a noise coming from the bathing
chamber, so that’s where he headed. He was almost there when
the person came walking out of the chamber and he pointed his sword
at them, “gods Ulysses,” Victoria said as she held her
hand up to her chest, her heart feeling as if it were about to
pound its way out, and Ulysses let out a breath as he lowered his
sword.

 

 

“You scared me half to death,” she said
as she slapped Ulysses on his arm and he looked at her as he
sheathe his sword, then turned and walked into his bedroom.
“What are you doing here?” He asked her and Victoria
looked at him, “well I thought it would be nice if you came
back to your room to a hot bath, your bed turned down
and…” she said then walked up to Ulysses as she looked
into his eyes. “and waiting arms,” she said and Ulysses
looked at her then backed up as he let out a breath.
“Victoria, as much as I appreciate the gesture, I don’t
think it’s a good idea for you to be here,” Ulysses
said and Victoria looked at him. “Ulysses why are you
fighting us, what we could be? I know you want me because I want
you and all I want to do is make you happy.” Victoria said
and Ulysses let out a breath as he looked into her eyes, “I
know and Victoria I’m sorry but I can’t give you what
you want. I…I don’t love you like you love me,”
Ulysses said and Victoria looked at him, looked into his eyes where
she saw that he meant what he said.
