The idea made him hiss in resentment.

“Sometimes the heart takes time to accept what the mind already knows.” Came his icy response and that’s when Annalise’s heart dropped.

She shook her head in skepticism as her neckline became even more visible due to her shock. She didn’t want to believe that she was cursed enough to have freed the devil that would bring a serious impending doom to her people, she couldn’t have possibly freed him, she couldn’t have.... WHAT HAS SHE DONE??!!

Annalise tried to fight back the tears and the lumps which were starting to build in her throat, her stomach churned and she felt like waking up from this bad dream that only seemed to be getting worse with each passing second.

‘Dear Lord, what have I gotten myself into?’ Thought Annalise.

With a sudden regret feeling her heart and the suffocations threatening to make her lose it, she turned around to make a run for it.

“If you leave this hall room then I promise you the lives of Euphrasia would crumble like dust in my palms the moment I’m done with them!!” Roshan instantly threatened, causing Anna’s feet to successfully stop once again due to his promised threat.

“Turn around and see for yourself.” He added more calmly this time around, which was never a good sign and she immediately turned around to see what he meant by that, her eyes narrowing into suspicion as her lips thinned in worry.

.....

Before her tear-filled eyes, three Euphrasia villagers were immediately brought to the hall by some of his guards, forcing them to go on their knees and Anna felt her breath seize at the sight.

It was a man, a woman and a boy who looked no older than eleven year old. They had their eyes blindfolded but a look of trepidation lingered on their expression.

Their clothes looked rag and they had dirt on their faces, she would have sensed something was a bit off if they didn’t look even more frightened than a mouse.

“Let us go!” The woman among them instantly pleaded, despite being blindfolded and having no clue where she was, she knew they had been brought to the person who took them in in the first place.

“We did nothing wrong, I’m pleading with you to spare our lives.”

“Mother, where are we?” The fear in the boy’s tone could equally be felt and Roshan returned his gaze to Annalise whose face had gone really pale, looking no different from a white sheet.

“If you leave this room, the lives of this people will be gone before I even count to three.”

“You do not own their lives, so you have no right to take it away from them!”

“Test me.” He challenged and to his surprise, Anna shook her head slightly and still chose to leave the room, with quick steps, she headed for the door.

STAB!

She had barely made it to the door when she heard the piercing sounds of a sword like someone had been stabbed, followed by the sound of agony that came along with it and she immediately halted.

STAB!!

She heard it again.

Instantly turning around to see what had happened, she realized one of Roshan’s guards had stabbed the man with a sword, not once but twice! Piercing it directly into his chest and he didn’t stop until he watched the look in the man’s expression turn pale and lifeless, before Anna could take in what just happened, the man sprawled to the ground, unmoved.

Time seemed to slow down as blood traces escaped from the man’s chest and staining the golden tiled floor, the remaining two victims couldn’t help but cry and gasp as they felt something very bad had occurred but didn’t dare move from their spot.

“Harold!” The woman called, hoping to hear her husband respond while trying to reach for him but sadly, she heard nothing and tried not to speak.

“Mother, what happened to father?” The little boy worriedly asked but Roshan’s expression remained unfazed. Anna could barely believe the scene in front of her eyes and stood looking like a ghost.

Levi wasn’t completely shocked by the scene since it’s happened many times while Azazel just remained calm and composed as always. Rather, he was studying the interaction between the two of them.

The hostility was no doubt present but he was even more surprised seeing how bold the young lady was, he didn’t think there was anyone capable of challenging Roshan and not facing the dire consequences for it.

Or could it be she’s unaware?

“Dare to leave again?” Inquired Roshan with his brows questionably arched and Anna’s eyes clearly showed disbelief.

How could he bring himself to do something as horrible as this?? He.....he killed an innocent man and barely showed any form of remorse for it, it’s possible he could do the same to the two innocent people.

“What do you want?” She finally asked, not letting a single tear escape from her eyes as she met his stare.

A devilish smile finally formed at the corner of his lips and the air turned dangerous, “ever played a game of chess?” He asked but wasn’t expecting a single response from her.

“You my dear, are going to become my most loyal maid and you will provide me with enough informational insights I need to know about Euphrasia, in other words, you’re a pawn in my game to victory.”
