Hi,
Firstly, I apologize for vanishing without any proper notice. After the audit, my colleague was on leave and I was in charge of the branch keys which meant I returned home late every day and had no time to even look at the laptop. At the weekends, when I was free I was finally able to complete the chapter and here it is.... SORRY AGAIN for disappearing without notice.
BTW, This chapter is dedicated to @cupcakedelicate :D

EAR PIERCING CARE:
Last week, I accidentally hurt my ears while putting on my earrings. Putting on rings has always been a problem for me because my piercing wasn't done right and I fear it will close forever if I do not wear any earrings.
It is essential to regularly clean the piercing area or else it stinks bad because of ear cheese caused by bacteria. I usually wash them with soap but using rubbing alcohol is considered best. Using petroleum jelly around the pierced area will reduce the scabbing to some extent. Also, keep twisting the earrings a few times daily to help keep the pierced holes open. While wearing stud earrings extra care must be taken around the piercing area and while wearing hoop earrings it's easier to clean and maintain.
Remember to clean the piercing thoroughly after a hair bath as this is when the shampoo gets collected there and it just makes things worse. A drop of tea tree oil or lavender oil on the piercing also protects from bacteria but we cannot forever keep the smell away :/

CHAPTER 28 – DISRESPECT
"Dude! That was awesome!" Miki carolled on their ride back home to Xanthos who was driving with a stoic look. "You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment!"
Cyane ducked her head to hide her smile because Miki was saying exactly what she wanted to hear.
"Yeah.... Well, since your moment has already come, life as we have known it is also finished" Brody said flatly.
"Don't remind me of it" Grayson groaned.
"We are survivors. We have survived the Crescere prison and that means we can survive anywhere" Miki pointed out, flatly refusing anything or anyone to dim his moment.
"We survived because we had the king's support" Brody reminded grimly.
"Support?" Miki scoffed. "He trained us to become his guard dogs. I didn't initially see it but now I know that's what we have always been for him."
"That's true" Grayson agreed quietly and Cyane felt a wave of sympathy for them because when they were out of prison, the least the king could have done was help them complete their education. Instead, he had trained them to be killers and do his dirty work.
"Those who offend the king don't survive for long and I am sure we did offend him today," Brody remarked.
"Well, then he shouldn't have kept quiet when that brat was making threats" Miki pointed out harshly.
"What's done is done and we cannot change that but we must carefully plan what we are going to do next" Grayson reminded. "I have already phoned Jayson, Xan. He will be waiting for us near the park."
"Park? He had his last paper, today right?" Brody asked in bewilderment.
"He had submitted it already. We will pick him up and then leave." At Brody's confused look, Grayson chuckled, "Surely you cannot believe we can stay here now! The king has given us a week to leave and if we still stay beyond that then the wolves will kill us."
