“Who is he?” He asked again and there was something different about his expression which turned out to be true, but she couldn’t tell if he was upset or just being neutral.

However, she wouldn’t let herself look weak in the eyes of him, nor would she let herself fall into the likes of him.

“Someone who isn’t you.” Was her calm and befitting response, she felt he had no right to meddle in her personal affairs and question her so abruptly, on the contrary they were even meant to part ways once they leave today, so telling him or not wouldn’t basically matter, yet something dared her not to try it.

“Why? Are you ashamed?”

“No, but curiosity always kills the cat.” She freed her wrist from his hold and took two steps back, keeping a safe distance before meeting those gaze that always caused her heart to thump relentlessly.

It made her sick!

.....

“I’ll give you some time to yourself now since you refused my help in treating your scar, anyways I brought you breakfast, so eat up, get dressed and then, we can leave.”

Her simple smile remained intact, it only made him fantasize on how many ways he could easily get rid of that smile on her face but he didn’t utter a word, neither did he let his distaste show, knowing his next word might come out to be a little hurtful. Anna swiftly turned around to leave the room, escaping the treacherous air it had and only when she was out of his sight did her resolve break.

Letting out a relieved breath, she felt thankful he didn’t slaughter her yet for her words but if looks could kill, the daggers he had been constantly using to look at her would have sucked every bit of her soul.

Meanwhile, Roshan still stood in his position once the door had closed in front of him, looking displeased as the thought of her having a suitor already didn’t go well with him. In order to accomplish his plan he can’t let her have a suitor, it’d ruin everything and not just that, he would find it even more difficult to lure her into his trap.

Getting to his kingdom wouldn’t be much of a problem, but facing those people called family and failing at his quest for revenge would leave him ashamed. He wanted to kill someone, to break something or just anything that could ease him off the anger he had bottled up, but yet again, he had to be patient.

His main goal was getting insights about the Euphrasia kingdom itself and this annoying woman might just be the ticket he needed to accomplish that.

But first, he needs to know about this suitor, although he made it clear to himself that it only triggered half of his anger due to his mission, he suddenly felt like having a personal beef with this unknown suitor and snapping his head right off his neck.

“A suitor? Soon enough you’ll be left with no suitor at all.” It sounded more like a deadly promise before a sinister smirk formed on his thin pink colored lips.

After having a wonderful breakfast along with some interesting conversation with the lady and her daughter, Annalise and Roshan finally proceeded to take their leave as planned, unwilling to let themselves be of any burden to the kind lady.

“Be careful out there, they might be creatures of the night but they harbor in the daytime too, so be very attentive.” She cautiously reminded them which Annalise nodded to with an understanding smile.

“We will.”

Waving them goodbye and leaving the warm cottage, their journey continued with the both of them following the same direction, quietly wandering through a lonely path surrounded by more scanty houses across the landmark. The sun was fully out now, bathing them in it’s warmth but the empty and lonely sight only made Anna cock her eyes in befuddlement, wondering if everyone had locked themselves in due to Demon’s suddenly coming out at daytime.

“It’s no longer safe since Demon’s are patrolling the streets now,” she broke the silence, “luckily I have my sword with me, but you’re unarmed.” She hinted while turning her gaze towards the unpultrichidunous being walking beside her, but he only folded his arms with a botherless look crossing his stoic face without meeting her gaze.

“Doesn’t matter.”

He barely cared, those Demon’s couldn’t even stand in the same spot he was stepping, he was a thousand times stronger and more powerful than those filthy Demon’s which makes it very difficult for them to be in the same place that had his aura.

They were scared of him.

“Where are you heading from here?” Annalise’s dulcet voice broke him from his train of thoughts. She had been meaning to ask that particular question but it continuously skipped her mind. If he wasn’t an Euphrasia then what kingdom or clan could he possibly have come from?

“Viscarrian Kingdom.” He curtly responded, causing Annalise to confusingly raise a brow as she interrogatively searched her brain for any kingdom bearing that name, and as expected, that kingdom didn’t sound familiar to her ears at all.

“Where’s that?”

“I won’t tell.”

“Why?”

“Cause curiosity killed the cat.” He heartlessly shot back without any ounce of sympathy. This time around, Anna was the one to go mute as his words finally sank in, realizing he just used her own phrase to heartlessly tear her apart. It made her wonder if he never gets tired of verbally fighting with her

“Must you take revenge all the time?”

“Yes, it satisfies me.” Was his odd response and she didn’t bother to question him on that topic again. Apart from giving her a well deserved response, he wasn’t actually wrong either.

For a human to step into the Viscarrian Kingdom was more like getting into a death trap, but that’s exactly what he wanted, to take her with him to Viscarrian.

“I assume you’re heading to your suitor, am I right?” He conversed which brought Anna’s thoughts to Adryan once again and a slow smile made its way to her lips.

She had no intention of leaving Euphrasia, she had been wrongly accused for something she never did, so she intends on going back and secretly finding out who was responsible for the death of those innocent people.

“Yes.” She responded.

“An Euphrasia as well?”

“Yes.”

Roshan slightly nodded after noticing the faint smile appearing on her lips but he didn’t let his annoyance become visible, that’s good, this suitor will end up being the first gender he gets rid of.

The look in his eyes showed one that couldn’t wait to tear him into pieces. With him out of the picture, then luring this equally annoying woman so he can get more information would be easier too.

And if that doesn’t work, he’ll just have to kidnap her. Willingly or unwillingly.

“If you’re from this... Viscarrian Kingdom, how did you end up in the dark woods?” Annalise targeted another question at him, casting him her suspicious glare cause she did not trust this man one bit.

“Curious?” He stopped walking the moment he asked, making Anna to equally stop moving as she met his deep stare. Looking into those eyes made her feel as though he could see through the depths of her hidden soul. The fact that she doesn’t even trust him either.

“Then I’ll tell you.” A bewitching smirk appeared on his no longer stoic face, yet it carried the deadliest of aura she’s ever felt from him. It made her take a quick step back like she was avoiding those clouds which tried to suck her in earlier.

“I’m the Demon King,” he revealed with his gaze turning glacier, “and I’m here to take my revenge.”
