I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 187: I'M READY SO COME AND GET ME: PART 2

Evelyn headed inside to what she called a deluxe prison room. 

She still thinks about what Pope Nelson discussed to Prince Adley.

"Why? I can't even see the lady in the prophecy?"

Though, even if she wants to ponder about it more, there is still someone who makes her mind wander about.

It was because the man that was said to be the right hand man of Prince Adley in the novel was here with her.

"Is there any convenience that you are experiencing right now, my lady?" Ishid asked with a smile.

Evelyn knitted her brows. 

"Do you think that I'll find it convenient when I'm here, kidnapped by the Prince and locked up inside the room in the middle of nowhere?"

Evelyn forgot to act like a naive and pitiful girl with lost memories. She was so annoyed that Sir Ishid was escorting him like a criminal when they are basically the ones who did the wrong thing.

When she realized what she said, she put her hand in her mouth to cover it however Ishid had already heard it and found it to be funny. He chuckled and smiled at her..

"You're right no one will find this convenient when you're basically held hostage."

Evelyn felt a chill down her spine. She doesn't know the reason but whenever she finds herself standing or near Ishid, she has this sense of fear in her body that she never has felt before.

However, she never had a chance to encounter Ishid in her life, it was only that time at the academy during the tournament for the Elites.

The guards guarding the door of Evelyn was new because the ones that were there before have already been lying on the cold floor and were bathing in their own blood in front of the parlor room.

Evelyn has a disgust written all over her face when she sees that.and now that she saw a new guard lined up in front of her door, that looks more disciplined and strict and loyal to Prince Adley, Evelyn thought that it would be hard for her to move for now.

The guards opened the door for them. She went inside, Evelyn thought that she could at least breathe and sigh however, she still heard the footsteps of Ishid.

"Why are you still here?"

"Why? Are you busy?"

'Do I look like I'm busy when all I could do is stare at that square window?'

Is what Evelyn would like to say but still she kept it to herself.

"No, I'm not busy sir?"

Of course, Evelyn still needs to act like she didn't know him.

The door closed and Ishid went straight for the sofa and beckon Evelyn to also sit across from him.

"Why don't we get to know each other?"

'And why would I do that?' Evelyn thought inside her head. She was really annoyed now. 

She has so many things that she needed to think through however because Ishid insisted that they have a chat which she could never even decline, she has no choice but to accompany him.

'What does this man want with me?' Evelyn thought.

Evelyn fiddled with her fingers as she looked down at it.

"That white dress suits you"

Evelyn slowly looked up.

'Did she just flatter me? Does he think I'm like the other ladies which will bring her walls down when I get a compliment? I'm not an easy woman!'

Evelyn can't read the man from day one that she saw him and even till now she can't read what was swirling in the guy's mind. But first, Evelyn needed to answer Ishid.

"Is that so thank you sir?"

"Oh I'm called Ishid. Yes that's what they call me."

'Why does it feel like he was saying that it's not really his name is it just me?'

"Alright Sir Ishid, thank you."

Ishid smiles. His smile has a dangerous feel to it.

Everytime Evelyn stared at those dim red eyes that were close to the color of abyss, she felt shivers as well as the mysteriousness in them.

"So, how do you feel that you'll become a wife of this kingdom's prince?"

Evelyn became speechless. It was because of how blunt he just asked her.

"Would you be happy if you were in my positions...Sir Ishid?"

"Good question but I'll never be in that kind of situation"

Ishid bent forward to close the proximity between her and Evelyn and he continued.

"You see, THAT will always be your position."

Evelyn's sunset eyes became serious and she asked.

"What do you mean about "THAT"?

Ishid chuckles

"That has always been your position either that or "

Ishid made a hand gesture of slicing one's neck.

"But aren't you glad? You're still alive and not beheaded?"

Evelyn felt her whole body numb as her heart sped its beat.

'Beheaded? Does he know about the novel?' 

She became nervous. It was because she can't read her opponent. She counted from one to ten to let her nerves relax. And when she felt that she's fine, she began and tried to get information from him.

"Beheaded? Why would I be beheaded? You must be having a lot of nightmares for you to think something like that."

"Really? Do you really think it was a nightmare?" Ishid chuckled again.

Evelyn was composed and smiled.

"If anything the ones who will be beheaded will be the people who commit heinous crimesIsn't that the law of the Levingstone Kingdom?"

"Don't worry you won't face something like that again. Because I especially staged this set for you. And even if you feign ignorance about your memories, I know full well that you remember everything~"

"..."

Evelyn became speechless for a moment and then

"Ha...haha hahaha!"

Evelyn laughed just like a villainess.

"That's right that's the Lady Evelyn that I know." Ishid said as he looked at Evelyn with an amusing smile.

Evelyn stops laughing and the light in her eyes changes, she knows full well that the man in front of him will not be fooled by something like acting. 

And she also knows that this man will not tell Prince Adley about the situation, based on her observation with this short conversation, his a man who will be amused when something interesting happens.

That's why she will take a gamble this time.

Evelyn takes off her naive and pitiful mask and faces him as the Evelyn of the A-rank adventurer of the monterio Guild.

"Haha that's it! That's what I'd like to see...this is interesting!!!"

Her aura became dark and vicious as she stared at the man in front of her.

***

Cabel jumped and rolled to avoid the attack of the magic monster that shaped as a dragon. For the past hour that he has been defending and attacking, there are some things that he notices.

First, the dragon spits fire every ten minutes and then attacks him with its body. His body was made of fire itself so Cabel's ice walls can only do so much as to protect him before it melts.

Though Cabel's ice affinity are different to the normal ones as his mana are stronger and can deflect normal fire but what the dragon has is different. 

The difference is that the fire of the dragon is stronger than the ordinary red flames. It produced so much heat that even if he built ice walls over ice walls it melts quickly.

'I need to do something about those torches' Cabel thought.

He started to notice that the dragon seems to move only inside the circle that was made by the torches surrounding it.

'It seems that it fuels the dragon's power.

He started to move with precision. Cabel needs to test his theory and jump from where he was and hold his sword and cover it with his aura.

He's also a swordmaster like Evelyn and so he can materialize his aura into his sword. A cold breeze was accompanied by Cabel's sword. Each swing there's an ice that can penetrate deep in the skin and freeze the things that are hit by it.

"Grooowwl!!"

The blue dragon that was made from flames roared as he deflected the attack of Cabel and easily counter attacked it with a single move from its big body.

"Tsk!"

Cabel clicked his tongue in annoyance.

'At this rate, my mana will be the one to run out before I can extinguish those flames.'

However now he was sure that the dragon was protecting the torches. Especially when he specifically attacked one of the pillars of the torches and the dragon used its body to receive it.

"Bastard I see that you're protecting it huh"

Cabel quickly regains his momentum, now that he has a clear goal unlike an hour ago where he can only defend and attack a few times because he can't see an opening from the dragon that was attacking him without taking a breath.

He leaped again with force and as a result he was high up in the sky, but as it seems that the dragon read his mind, the blue dragon reflected him easily with his fire breath.

Cabel immediately shields himself and puts up an ice barrier as he was still in the middle of the air. His face crumpled as the fire breath of the dragon directly hit his ice shield and pushed him with great force.

"Aghh!"

Cabel slammed into the wall and he felt an immense pain that came from his back and spit blood.

"Puwah! Ack!"

But before Cabel could take a breath he saw the tail of the dragon moving towards him with great speed.

"What?!"

His eyes could only blink as his body was still in pain. A sudden adrenaline rush overcomes his body and before the tail of the dragon hits him he rushes to the side by exerting a force to his right hand.

"Fck!"

Now, Cabel has sprained his wrist because of the wrong movement that he just made because of the event that happened in a flash.

Cabel and the dragon have locked eyes. They begin to analyze each other's pattern.

'Something there must be something that I could do to end this test!" Cabel thought.

Then he remembered what Chrisfold said before he got inside.

"Your test would be the materialization of your weakness your opponent could be yourself, your family or even your mana. Think hard about why the test would pick "that" as your opponent."

Cabel began to think about the advice he just remembered.

"That's right you're just an embodiment of my weakness I'll definitely win against you."
