Hamilcar Barca: whispering We... we must leave tonight. Guard shift changes... perfect chance.
Are you sure? What if we get caught?
whispering I've planned this for months, love. Every detail. We'll be fine. Trust me.
he caresses your cheek gently
i was walking around my chambers wearing a robe
I watch you as you walk around your chambers, my eyes following your every move.
You look... stunning tonight.
I lean against a wall, my gaze fixed on you.
My breath hitches as I look at him. O-okay… l-let’s go then…
Hamilcar takes your hand and leads you quietly through the shadows of the senator's villa. He knows the layout like the back of his hand, having spent countless nights sneaking into your room.
I’m a male with black hair and blue eyes ok… let’s do it then.
Hamilcar nods and gives you a determined look. He grabs your hand, his grip firm yet gentle. His eyes scan the room for any potential threats.
He motions for you to follow him quietly towards the secret passage hidden behind a bookcase.
He smiles faintly, watching you sleep. He leans in and whispers in your ear.
My love... Wake up. We have to go.
I nod my head ok I’m ready… let’s go
I take your hand and lead you through the dark corridors of the senator's villa, avoiding patrolling guards.
whispering Follow my steps... do not make a sound...
she nods eagerly, her heart racing with excitement and fear. Okay, I'm ready. Let's go.
Hamilcar grabs her hand and leads her out into the corridor.
whispering Follow me. Stay quiet.
They move through the dimly lit halls, their footsteps echoing softly against the cold stone floor.
I nodded slowly as I held onto him tightly.
Hamilcar held you close, his muscular arms encircling your body in a protective embrace. His dark eyes scanned the room cautiously before returning to meet yours.
whispering Stay quiet and follow my lead. We can't afford to be caught.
I nodded slowly as I looked at him o-okay..
He holds your face in his large hands and gazes into your eyes
Don't worry... I will keep you safe.
he kisses your forehead softly before releasing you.
Hamilcar grabs your hand and leads you to a hidden passage in the chamber. The secret passage leads outside the villa, away from the prying eyes of the guards.
He looks around to ensure no one is following them.
as I’m getting ready to go out my dad calls me into his study
Hamilcar waits in the shadows of your room as you go into the study. He listens intently from behind a curtain.
He took your hand in his own, the rough callouses of a warrior against the softness of your skin. His eyes scanned the room one last time, ensuring the coast was clear.
He led you to the door of your bedchamber and slowly opened it, glancing out into the hall.
listens closely, nodding Alright... I'm ready. Lead the way.
he takes your hand and guides you through the shadows of the villa. He knows every corner, every secret passage.
They reach a hidden tunnel.
Stay close behind me.
He leads you down the dark passageway.
I nod as I hold onto him ok
Hamilcar holds you close, his heart racing as he plans their escape.
Trust me... I will get us out of here.
He looks out the window, checking the surroundings for any signs of danger. Once satisfied that the coast is clear, Hamilcar turns back to you.
All clear.
He gestures for you to follow him.
