A tremor went down the old woman's body and coupled with her haggard breathing, she looked pathetic. But the man remained expressionless as he stared at her blankly. He was lost in his thoughts as he smiled to himself.
'Aylin is an unfortunate woman to have caught the eye of the devil. I just hope she has the strength to deal with him.' The old woman thought to herself and the next instant the man focused his attention on her.
"Did you say something?" His voice was exceptionally low and threatening and the woman shivered in terror.
"No, no, I did not." She shook her head frantically as she stared back at the soulless eyes, mustering all her courage in her. This was the only way she could save her life this time.
The man stared at her for some time skeptically before he looked away and the woman relaxed her tense body. She was glad that among the powers the man had, reading minds was not one of them. Otherwise, she would have been dead by now. The man was a monster and had a fickle temper. It was truly a wonder to even herself that she had managed to stay alive until then.
The woman lowered her gaze and thought of what had happened in Aranill a few days ago before she remembered another incident that had transpired with the poor girl. Gathering all her courage again, she lifted her head and licked her lips, her interest in knowing the truth overpowering her fear for the man.
"May...may I as..ask you a question?" Her voice was soft and barely audible. But the man heard her clearly and he turned towards the old woman who was staring back at him in fear and hope.
He nodded at her and the woman let out a smile. She arranged her thoughts first and thought of her question carefully lest she should offend the man again and incur his wrath on herself again.
"A few days ago, you planned an assassin attack on Aylin. You exhorted the people of Renada to attack her. May I know the reason?" The woman inquired, putting her life at stake this time. "You do not want her dead. But you did exactly what could have harmed her."
The woman stared at the man and when she did not detect any traces of anger from him, she closed her eyes for a moment in relief. She then waited for him to reply, wondering what he was thinking. He was the most confusing and terrifying man she had ever encountered.
"Do you really think that I planned this assassin attack to kill her?" The man questioned back and the woman stiffened again. She did not know what to reply for a moment. But she had to speak something for the man was waiting for her.
Swallowing her saliva, she shook her head. "No, no, you would never harm her. Never. I was just wondering about it." She cleared her stance.
The man got up from his chair and squatted beside her, staring at her right in the eye. The old woman cowered, her face now deathly pale. Her wrinkled face could not conceal the terror she had for him and the man smiled at her, exhilarated to find her in this state.
"All you need to know is that I will never hurt Aylin. But that cannot be said the same for the people around her, people she cares for. They might not live the see the next day if I were to find about them." He stated casually and the woman nodded at him immediately. She did not doubt him at all on this.
The man was a devil and was possessive about Aylin. She did not know why he was doing this and why Aylin had caught his eye. But he had shown her his demonic side by killing her family and just the thought of their deaths was enough to give her nightmares for eternity.
The man then stood straight and looked at the small hole above him towards the side from where a beam of sunlight was forcing its way inside the dungeon.
"I wish this day to end as quickly as possible. I want to see how my dear girl is doing and if she has followed my warning or not." His eyes gleamed in wickedness before he started to walk away from the old woman. "I just hope I will not have to kill more people. But I do not mind if that is what she wants."
He stated loud enough for the old woman to hear while he kept walking. The old woman held her gaze on him for a while.
"Your father will be waking up any time soon." The woman blurted out and scolded herself immediately after for her reckless actions.
The masked man stopped walking and he stood still, his mortifying back eliciting fear in Lucia who was watching them from where she was. And before the man could catch her in the act of watching him, she moved away from the cell gate towards the farther end, away from him.
"When?" The man finally uttered a word and the old woman picked up her shillelagh and stood up with great difficulty. She then walked towards where he was and stood behind him.
"His curse ended a few days ago. So, he must already be awake by now. But it will take time for the seal around the castle to break."
"He will find me when he leaves the castle." The man said with disdain and the woman's lips twitched, finding the situation to be amusing for the first time.
"He would want you to join him in the war."
"It is all his wishful thinking. His war with the Triple Goddess has nothing to do with me." He gritted his teeth and the woman realized that she was now treading on a thin line that could snap any moment. But she could stop this way yet. His father had great expectations of him and if he failed to do as he wished, she would be the one to be punished first.
Just of thought of getting punished by the devil made her cry inwardly.
"But he is your father." She gave him the most valid reason, hoping he would not go against him when the time came.
"And I am the devil of the night." The man turned to her so suddenly that the old woman's heart jumped to her chest. She took a step back in dread instinctively. The air was filled with murderous intent and the old woman suppressed her urge to escape from the place.
"Who can stop me?" He spat. "Not you, not my father, not the world. That man may be my father but he has no rights to order me around."
The old woman moved her lips. But nothing came out of her mouth as she gaped at the man.
"He is just trash and when the time comes, I will make sure to discard him away."
With that, he walked away from her and the woman collapsed to the floor immediately.
