Chapter 619: Reason

Once Evie opened her eyes, there was no signs of negative emotions in her eyes.

"Are we done here?" she asked.

Her reaction made Klauz's face darkened like a pot of ink. He did not expect her to be this calm even after all the things she had found out. Seems as though this Light Queen is quite the strong character.

"Oh, if you're waiting for me to be surprised, don't wait anymore, Klauz. You're actually late in catching up with the news. I've known about all these all along." Evie told him, confidently, almost smugly even.

Klauz fell silent. Disbelief dancing in his eyes. He did not speak but just kept quiet and scrutinized Evie's expression, searching for even a hint of untruth or false bravado.

"I am the Light Queen in the prophecy. I am the guardian of the fire dragons. You do know about the abilities of the guardians, right? They have the ability to see into the future." Evie took a step closer to him, her gaze never faltering. "I don't care if you believe me or not, but I've known much more than these things that you have shown me today." She tipped her chin up, staring at him almost arrogantly. "Have you ever wondered why I had already known your name and your face the instant I saw you, Klauz? If you think I learned about you from my husband or King Belial, you're wrong. No one ever talked about you here in the Under Lands. It was so much so that I had the hardest hard time searching for you. Who knew, you actually delivered yourself to me instead. You truly had made my work a lot simpler. So thank you." Evie spoke with a taunting voice.

Her words surprised him, but he still did not look quite convinced with what she had said. Evie did not mind though. It was enough for her that she was sowing seeds of doubts into him and making him think twice about everything. She needed to get back to Gav. And the only way for her to go back as soon as possible was to convince this man.

She felt as though she was in a rush, not only because of the foreign writings that she had badly want to show to the dark fae royals but also because of the prophecy.

'When his powers merge, he will awaken.' These words bothered Evie extremely so especially when she thought of Gav and his dark fae and vampire powers. She felt her heart trembling at the thought that came to her. It somehow was hinting at the matter where both sides of Gav were merging. That when his powers become one, he will everything will start from then on.

At that moment, she remembered what Gav had told her when they were making love in that beautiful spot. That Gavriel told him there must be a reason why they were not merging. And that reason must be this. If they merge he will awaken!

She could only fight for calm, knowing that both of them were finding a way for both his sides to merge safely. Evie also did not know why but she was starting to feel a terrible unease brewing in her heart. Right now, she could not even imagine what was Gav was doing at this moment since he must have found out that she was already gone.

If the one around when she disappeared was Gavriel, Evie would not be feeling so much worry. Because she knew how Gavriel acts when things go crazy. Gavrael however, was different. She could not help but feel scared of what Gavrael would do.

"You were looking for me and why would you be doing that?" he still looked doubtful even as he asked her that.

"Because I need you. You will be one of my greatest allies in this united war against the monsters. You will be one of the greatest warriors who will fight alongside every one of our enemies."

He scoffed. Then a sardonic laugh rang out.

"It seems it's true that no one told me about you at all." He replied, shaking his head. "Fine. Perhaps, I should enlighten you a little more. I'm the royal's enemy and have been one for a long time now. I'm the a.s.sa.s.sin they've been hunting for years. In fact, I believe the royals, especially the current ones, hate me as much as I hate them. So do you know it will never be possible for me to become the ally who will fight alongside everyone? I a.s.sume when you said 'everyone' the royals are included."

Klauz played with a small dagger that he had created from his magic. "Because I nearly a.s.sa.s.sinated the queen." He said with an emotionless face.

Evie's eyes widened. The queen Queen Beatrice?! This was the first time she was hearing something like this.

"That vampire queen should've been dead if Belial didn't use a forbidden magic to save her." he added, and Evie gasped out in shock.

Disbelief coloured her eyes as she looked at him.

"That's why, forget about that fantasy you were spouting about earlier, Light Queen. I could still be your ally, but never theirs. Never!" He hissed out the last word venomously.

"Why why did you do that?" Evie was curious to know what prompted this amount of hatred.

Klauz threw his dagger and then retrieve it back to his hand with his magic. The way his hand moved with the dagger looked as though the dagger was an extension of his hand. The movements were so smooth and precise as though he had practiced them thousands of times before.

"I can't believe you are asking why. No one asks an a.s.sa.s.sin why he should a.s.sa.s.sinate "

"Why would you want to kill the queen?!" Evie interrupted him and streamlined her question.

Her loud voice made him halt and his gaze hardened. The cruelty in them gleamed like obsidians.

"Revenge, obviously." He answered. "I already told you I hate the royals "

"Why did you have to go after the queen? Is it because she's the most vulnerable "

"Don't make me laugh, Light Queen. You have no idea how strong that woman is. You would never dream of calling that vampire as vulnerable when you see what she can do. I went after her because I wanted to hurt them Belial and his sons. I wanted them to feel how it felt to experience the ultimate pain. Death is a mercy but seeing their beloved die before their very eyes I know you know what I'm talking about."

Evie was speechless. Not knowing what to say. She could not believe he had done something like this and to think it was towards Queen Beatrice herself!

Before Evie could say anything more, she whipped her head towards the entrance of the cavern at the dark feeling that crawled under her skin.

Then suddenly, the ground trembled.
