Chapter 430
“What are you?” asked Henry when nails started to grow in the hands of Declan and he used them to stab the man who came with Henry.
The man struggled but his flail hands were of no comparison to a strong steeled body.
Declan pierced the man into two and threw him aside like garbage as he turned to kill Henry whose whole body was covered in cold sweat but he was not ready to let go.
“If you want, I can.. Aaahhhhhhh!” Before he could give another offer, Declan had already stabbed him with his nails and threw his dead body on the ground with such force that his skull broke and blood started to fill the whole place.
The place was filled with the stench of death and the scene of dead bodies.
Anyone would have fainted looking at the scene but Declan stood there tall as he stared at the scene.
There was no fear or regret in his eyes but the coldness and the desire of blood only increased with each passing second.
“What do you think of yourself to offer Anne to me? Ha!” did he think that owned her.
He walked closed and kicked the cold body of Henry hard as if he wanted to kill him again.
How long had he been standing there alone when he felt the presence of someone behind him but there was no desire to blood anymore.
“So you finally killed him.” came the cold and mocking voice when his eyes sunk. “Can you do anything else except killing and lying?”
His head hurt. He was not the one who started it.
“They send the knights to kill me first!” he said in his defense as he turned to look at the girl but wished he did not have.. Her face was so cold that it left chills run down his sprint.
“Of course, they would. Who would not?” she said it so nonchalantly as if he only deserved to die.
“Are you disappointed that I survived?” he mocked as he took a step closer to her.
She did not move even an inch or looked away. She kept staring into his eyes with such a cold and hollow look that it pricked him.
“What if I say yes? Would you kull yourself to give me peace?” she asked with a mocking look on her face as she closed her eyes and uttered a spell.
The sky turned darker and small dots started to bounce on the ground. Each of them opened its mouth wider and wider turning into the black holes that bounced on the ground before stopping in front of a dead body.
The bodies on the ground started to get sucked by those small black holes until each body vanished from there.
Once done, the holes turned into small dots again and disappeared from there completely.
Just as the alley was empty again except the two of them, the sky shook again and rain started to pour on both of them flooding the blood on the ground with it.
“You went up to such lengths to clean the area?” he asked with surprise evident on his face.
She had the power to teleport, so he was not surprised when she teleported the bodies but controlling the weather was the power of hazel not hers.
It must have taken a lot of complex spells and a lot of mana to do such feet.
“My sister is getting crowned tonight. I did not want any kind of bad omen near the palace.” she said in an indifferent voice as she turned to leave but Declan ran and blocked her path.
“And what about me?” his eyes stared at her face hard as if he was trying to find any sign of empoption but the hollow face had none.
She did not even look at the stranger that way. He shivered at the coldness in them.
“What about you?” she asked as if she did not understand what he wanted from her.
“I.. I am sorry, Anne. I should have tried to find another way when I was told that you are a shortcut. I am a cold man who had never thought that he could have emotions but.. You changed me!” his voice sounded vulnerable and desperate.. It would have shook the chord of anyone’s heart while looking at his handsome face getting pale and hurt.
But she.. She stared at him as if she did not know him at all.
“I realized how kind and sweet you are. How your smile brightened my day and the darkness that had engulfed me all my life, that I had started to believe I was part of it, started to vanish with the bright smile on your face.. You.. have changed me and now i can not think of living without you Anne!” he broke apart and laid his heart bare in front of her.
As a demon, accepting that you had emotion was already a big feat but he didn’t stop there.
He held her hands and kneeled in front of her. He pleaded to her with his eyes.
“So, I beg you! Please do not leave me. I want to spend the rest of my life.. My eternity with you.” he held her hands so tightly.
He was afraid that she would run away again.
He was not afraid of accepting it. He was afraid that he would never get the chance to utter those words that were gnawing at his heart every passing second.
He was afraid that she would refuse to listen to his sincere feelings and walk away as if nothing had happened as if it was not her who he was talking about..
But he still fears rejection.

She jerked his hands away but his grip was so strong that she was not able to move away.
“If not.. I will be forced to use my powers against you.”
