The Devil's Temptation!

235 Satisfying His Curiousity

“You said that to her??” Levi screamed out after Azazel told him everything that happened at Calista’s place, but never did he see Levi’s outburst coming. It made him look like he committed some serious abomination.

Thankfully, the guards he had been teaching already left the training ground, else he would have been casted by Levi who can’t keep his tone down.

“How can you say that to a lady, not just any lady, but a beautiful kind princess like Calista.” Levi couldn’t believe it, he felt like strangling Azazel right now for hurting Calista like that, but the Enigma himself barely showed any remorse.

Azazel wasn’t completely surprised afterwards, Levi naturally has a soft spot for women. If it was possible, Levi wouldn’t mind getting married to all the beautiful young women he lays eyes on.

“I was being honest with my feelings.” Azazel defended himself, “I don’t pretend to like someone.”

“Well you sure are good at pretending to hate someone.” He shot back, baffling the dumbstruck Azazel who couldn’t understand why Levi was angry at him over it. He had his reason, he didn’t want her to keep daydreaming about something that will never happen, so he ended it there, once and for all, but he gets blamed for saving her from an even worse heartache.

“What should I have done then? Lead her on further when I know I don’t feel the same?” He crossed his arm, looking at Levi who appeared to be boiling in his own fury. One would think his head was about to erupt fire.

“You’re a man whose heart was forged with ice, we know that, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to witness how cold you can really be. What were you thinking, even if you didn’t like the princess you could have used it to your advantage.”

Levi let out a sigh, he wasn’t happy Azazel broke Calista’s heart so ruthlessly, but at the same time, Azazel could have used her love for him to his greater advantage. Wasn’t he a Demon for crying out loud??

.....

“Explain.”

“The sword,” Levi pointed out, “if only you retaliated her love just once, she would have helped you search for the sword and even give it to you. Since it’ll be difficult to wander in their palace freely, Calista could be a great advantage to helping us get the sword, but you’ve decided to ruin the whole thing.”

“Then get Anna to do it,” Azazel stubbornly suggested, “but I did what I did, no need crying over spilt milk.”

“How can someone be so heartless?” Levi glared, “someday, when you eventually fall in love with someone and watch how she breaks your heart, then you’ll learn.”

“Never gonna happen.” He sounded too relaxed as he countered back, and it was gradually eating Levi up. What can he possibly do to stir Azazel up, even if it’s for a little time?

“That means you have no plan on getting married in the future?”

“Marriage isn’t meant for everyone, stop bothering me with irrelevant talks, I need to go watch the limbo, I need to be more alert since Luderick has decided to bring back a dead body to life.”

“Uncle did what?” That part threw Levi off guard, and from his aghast expression, it was obvious Roshan hadn’t said anything to him yet.

Dang it!

“Keep what I said to yourself, we’ll talk more when I return, I’m late as it is.”

Before Levi got a chance to say exactly what he had in mind, Azazel vanished from sight, leaving Levi to stand alone in the training ground. It took him a few seconds of pondering to register this new information in his head, and he gasped.

“Uncle brought back a dead body?” The color on his drained at the news.

Aveline sat comfortably on her throne made from skulls of human’s she’s devoured. Once, the throne belonged to Luderick, but with Aveline’s presence, she had decided to take his seat as well.

Her fingers dripped with blood from a mortal she just finished tearing into pieces, and her elongated nails shrinked to their normal size. She licked the blood from her fingers, feeling satisfied with the amount of human souls she’s absorbed, and her skin appeared more flawless as the cracks on her face and skin healed immediately.

“What about your coffin?” The impatient Luderick stepped in, getting tired of watching the silly Demon enjoy her meal, hence, he had to interrupt Aveline’s feast as she paused at the sound of his voice. A look of irritation clouded her features as she whipped her head in his direction, her red eyes fading and returning to the normal chocolate-brown eyes that made her appear innocent.

“I could kill you for interrupting my meal without permission, Luderick, but I have to remind myself that you’re too useful for me.” She truthfully said, not happy about the idea herself before rising from her seat.

“The coffin is no longer in the palace.” He told her, thinking she’d panic since she needed to get her coffin back, but Aveline didn’t seem bothered by it as her skin still appeared flawless, “I’m not worried about that, his Highness is so desperate to catch me in person, but he’s not the only one with a couple of tricks up his sleeves.”

Luderick’s brows knitted, “what do you mean by that?”

“I mean,” she revealed a menacing smile, “If he wants to see me that badly then I have no problem satisfying his curiosity. He’s going to see me come for my coffin, but like I said before, I need to somehow get rid of Anna so I can take her place.” She hinted.

“So you plan on...”

“Yes!” She giggled excitedly, “everyone will be in for a surprise when Anna disappears out of the blue. I’m having their new year presents wrapped up already.”

Luderick wasn’t aware of what he’d be getting himself into after awakening this Demon. He hated her to the very core of his rotten system, but he liked the way she thinks.

“Let me in on your plans.”

“I won’t only let you in, my dear Luderick, you will be involved, just wait for tonight.” She laughed, revealing her sharp white fangs.
