Chapter 454 - 454 He Is Afraid



“My lord, you have been kind to us. You were the one who helped us when we were in trouble and fought for our rights from the start. How could it be that someone else can hold this position better? “ She looked back at others as if asking them if they agreed with her or not when many nodded.

“Yes, you should be the one to take the position of the marquis. You already have that position in front of the public.” said the other and soon the whole room started to echo with his support.

Lucio stared at all of them stunned but his eyes were stirring with emotions.

“Since my elders and my comrades want the same thing. Then.. I will gladly take that position.”

The whole room ended up in applause when Declan took its benefit and dragged Anne back who glared at him.

“What do you think you are doing?” she asked with a frown when he glared back at her.

“What am I doing? Ha! What are you doing? I thought we were here. Why were you shouting in front of everyone as if it was a stage that belongs solely to you.” he shook his head with disbelief.

He had seen the murderous intent in the eyes of all those elders. Did she not realize that she could not go against them so blatantly but she just scoffed at his worry.

.....

“We are in disguise. Who will know about you? You are worrying too much.” she said with a confident voice when his face turned darker.

“Forget about it. They could not compare to my powers anyway. Since we are here. Should we go and check the rooms of those elders? Who knew we may fight something interesting there?” and before he could reply or refuse, she had already started to scan the building and then pointed at the room.

“We should start from that room. I feel a lot of negativity there.” Declan stared at the room and nodded his head.

He came closer and held her hands as they both teleported into the room.

The room was empty with a lock on the door. Anne checked the door by pulling it but did not open.

Her eyes scanned the neat bed, fresh curtains, a closet, a chest of drawers and a small sofa set on the other side.

It was warm, small but near yet she felt negative vibes coming from it.

‘I did not see where the negativity is coming from?’ she said with a frown as she walked towards the chest of drawers and opened it.

She randomly took out some documents and checked them before putting them back.

Declan roamed in the room and sat on the bed as if he was checking the softness of the mattress while his eyes were constantly checking the room.

“We need to leave, Anne. he is at the door.” he said as he held her when she turned to look at the door.

She did not feel any kind of noise or footsteps but looking at his grim face, she nodded.

They both landed back in the garden where the commoners were returning with a happy face.

“I was amazed at how we were given the chance to take the decision with lord. He is a kind person. I am sure our condition will improve.”

“Yes, though her majesty is a dark witch, I am sure she is a kind one or she would not have helped her.”

They looked happy and satisfied.

“Well, at least we know that we can trust Lucio for now and I will come back later and check the elders. It was not your part of duty. So you do not need to worry anymore.” His voice was devoid of any emotion yet she felt a strange suffocation in her heart.

He was right! He was asked to spy on the elders and their matters. She just needed to confirm the intentions of Lucio and report back and her work was done here.

Then why was she not happy about it? Why did she not want to leave!

“No! You can not trust the words spoken in public. If he had been this kind, why was he easily controlled by the elders? Everyone has a reason to be weak.” she stated with a resolute tone when his eyes hardened.

“Ha! Are you just making an excuse to spend more time with me, Anne?” he asked with a tilt of his head when her eyes narrowed. “You do not need an excuse for that.. You know I am already ready to do anything you want.” his hands rubbed her thumbs slowly but sensually when her eyes hardened and her face turned colder.

She took her hands from his and laughed mockingly.

“You are a jerk and you will always stay one but with time you are being delusional too. Why would I care about you or think of spending time with you?

I am here only because my sister wanted it.” She took a step back when he laughed and nodded his head as if he was appeasing a child.

“If that is the case, why are you still standing here when you know you are not going to get any more information today. Why are you investigating the elders when you were not asked to do it.” his voice went intense and dark when she took a step back.

“You are making excuses, accept it.” she shook her head.

“I was only helping but if you are this delusional then i do not want to be here anymore.” She took a step back and then vanished from there.

Declan stared at the empty space in front of him and sighed.

His legs gave up but his eyes were fierce with growing flames in it as he stared back at the room they had come from.
