“Don’t.” He quickly warned, forcing Freya’s feet to halt at where she was. The low demoness didn’t need anyone to tell her she was in deep trouble. As bad as her situation was, she felt a little bit better it wasn’t Roshan. She wouldn’t even be standing here right now if it had to be him.

“What are you doing here?” He demanded, keeping his piercing blue gaze locked on the frightened demoness who flinched at his every word like a startled rabbit.

“Your highness I_” she tried to come up with an excuse but was silenced again.

“So brave of you to show your face at a time like this Freya, but let’s leave that for now.” His calm tone was nowhere near calm and it gripped Freya with fear.

“Why were you going through Anna’s wardrobe?” He took a step closer towards her, she took a step back.

“What are you looking for? Were did you send Roshan and Anna to?

“I_I don’t know their whereabouts.”

“Where are they?!”

.....

“I really don’t know!” She truthfully voiced, “I created a portal to stop them from hitting the ground at a very short notice and that was it, I have no idea where it took them.”

“Liar.”

“I’m not a liar!” Freya’s heart clenched when he kept staring at her with so much disdain in his eyes, like he was finding it difficult to even stand the mere sight of her. Why isn’t he believing her? “This is what I’m talking about,” she pointed at him, “none of you are willing to believe a word I say and it’s all because of what I did, yes I know I was wrong but what did you expect from me since everyone refused to listen to the things I had to say.”

“Silly excuses, the only person who was kind enough to do that is transported into who knows where! How was the outcome of trying to listen to you?”

A guilty look crossed her face at his heartless accusation and sadly he was right this time. Thinking about Annalise who gave her the antidote despite trying to kill her made her feel remorseful for once but she hid her guilt and held Azazel’s menacing gaze.

“I had my reasons.”

“And what has that got to do with her abandoned house?” To say he was shock-stricken to see her here was an understatement. He was restraining himself from absorbing her pathetic soul at the moment, not until he got the truth out of her.

Freya’s eyes alarmingly widened at his demanding questions, the look on her face showed a frightful trepidation and when she tried to flee, she couldn’t move her feet.

“Wha_”

It left her baffled as she looked down to see her feet were glued to the ground. She struggled to move from her spot but she could barely move an inch, causing her heart to thrash as a reason behind her not being able to move crawled into her head.

‘what’s happening? Why can’t I move?!!’ she inwardly panicked.

“Don’t bother, it’s difficult to escape the trapping net and if you fail to answer my questions, your legs won’t be the only thing I’ll be trapping.” He calmly threatened but it sent Freya’s body shuddering in dire fear. Living in the palace along with them, she knew Azazel’s capability when it came to things like this.

“Speak!” His voice was like a clap of thunder that sent a trembling fluid down Freya’s spine.

“The p_p...poison!” Her voice trembled as she began, he could tell she was holding back her tears and he sensed her fears. Freya on the other hand met his stare, her teary eyes were already filled to the brim and as she looked away, a lone tear dropped and rolled down her cheek.

“Anna couldn’t have survived that poison if she was human, yet she’s still alive.” She sniffed and wiped her tears away. Azazel remained unfazed and kept his cold gaze locked on her.

“Explain.”

“I know I poisoned Anna, and Gretta might have added liquor to subdue its effect, but it wasn’t supposed to free her completely from the poison.” She paused, she looked hesitant while taking a deep breath, “it should have affected her, but the effects of the poison wouldn’t be strong enough to take her life, yet nothing of that sort happened.”

Azazel’s gaze turned serious as he carefully registered her words.

“Axiom.” Freya said the name, catching Azazel’s attention as his eyes widened slightly as if asking a silent question and she nodded, still trying to force her feet to move.

“You know what the poison is.”

“A dangerous mortal venom got from the hiss of a serpent.” He stated and she nodded, “it’s impossible for a human to survive something as toxic as an Axiom venom, but she did.”

“Who sent you?”

“If you really want to know why don’t you ask Gretta and stop questioning me like I’m the only person who’s committed a crime before!” She voiced her frustrations out, knowing she wouldn’t even be in this predicament if she hadn’t listened to Gretta.

Her fist balled beside her just thinking about it.

“Gretta??” The mention of her name already answered his question, but that’ll be dealt with when he returns to the palace.

“And how does that relate to Anna’s house?”

“I came to find answers.” She pointed out in a calmer tone as her fist slowly unclenched.

“Answers to what?”

“That Annalise might not be human.”

That particular phrase racked his ear like an explosion of steam whistles and a deafening silence fell in the quiet room. Anna might not be human?? What’s she trying to say here?!!

“What?”

“Master Luderick! Please save me from this!” She suddenly called out for help, leaving Azazel a little confused, not until a black smoke appeared beside Freya, leading Azazel to take a step back.

Luderick’s figure came into sight after the smoke had vanished, but in a completely different body with the same cloak. Azazel wasn’t entirely surprised.

His red eyes displayed anger as his nose wrinkled in annoyance.

“Tch! If it isn’t Roshan it’s his brother!” Luderick cursed in a way that alerted Azazel about something, “guess we’ll have to hold in our plans for a few days.”

“Plans??” Questioned Azazel, “What plans?”

Grabbing Freya’s hand, Luderick vanished from sight along with Freya, giving Azazel no chance to react as a gust of wind was blown his way, using it as a distraction to make him look away.

When he turned, he was the only one standing in the empty room.

“What plan was he talking about?” Azazel pondered on it for a while and the look on his face turned grim.

Anna isn’t human??
