Bab 18: CHAPTER 18: The Dangerous Male
A loud hiccup followed as Aella realized she wasn't alone in the room. There was a male sitting right across from her.
The penetrating golden orbs staring right into her soul both confused and surprised her.
Another hiccup followed as her chest rose and fell nervously.
What was he doing here? Why was she here?!
She was supposed to be in the cell and not in a warm room, being watched by a dangerous male. Wait, was he even human?
Aella tilted her head with her blue eyes widened as she tried to get a better look at him.
Bane, he said his name was. A strange name for a young lad.
He looked to be in his youth, with his jet-black locks which ran down to his chest, almost as long as a lady's.
He was on a black tunic with matching pants and from where he sat, she could see he was very tall, maybe even a foot higher than her.
Was he really the slave boy for the demon? He looked too...powerful to be a meek slave.
"Do you need a glass of water?"
When he spoke, it felt like she was in a deep cave because his voice echoed around the room.
Her heart nearly leapt out of her chest when she heard his voice.
"N-No, thank you," her voice was small as she replied.
Suddenly, the room felt suffocating and too hot for Aella. She was sure her face had turned into a red canvas because she felt her cheeks were flushed.
She had never been alone in a room with a male, not to talk of one that looked that. It was a slightly horrifying situation for her.
She doubted someone else was here apart from him and the demon that lived here, which made her terrified of what could happen to her.
She haven't been with her sword ever since she was locked up in that dungeon so she had nothing to defend herself if he tried to do something.
Aella raised her legs to her chest and when she felt hollow underneath the blanket covering her body, she tranquilize.
She didn't bother to look down at her attire because she didn't want to register her state in her head.
From what she felt, she was in very light clothing. Very different from the coarse outfit she had worn since she left home.
Shocked, Aella looked down at her body to see that she had been stripped out of her clothes, including her undergarments.
She was left only in a clean huge black shirt which clearly wasn't hers. Apart from that, she was naked like a newborn baby.
With mortified eyes, Aella looked up at the culprit. Her mouth was wide open, speechless, she was left by the sheer audacity.
"Your face changes colour, are you sure you're alright?" He asked with such an innocent tone, his golden orbs boring into her face.
Aella's blood boiled up.
"M-My clothes," her voice came out as a whisper.
She was still unable to comprehend what in the nincompoop was going on here!! Where the heck was her clothes?!
"You were burning up badly so I did right by taking off that attire to relieve you of your torture," his face was straight as a ruler when he replied.
Aella's left eye twitched more than once.
"M-My c-clothes," she breathed out once again.
"I have explained to you already what happened. Your left eye seems to be in pain, is that a sign of the fever?" His eyebrows knitted as though he was thinking of his question.
Was that his justification for the crime he just committed?!
Aella tried to lay down all that is going on before her head blew up.
One, she was in a room with a strange male. Two, she wasn't in her clothes and he claimed he had taken them off due to her illness.
Three, she had the sudden urge to kill!!
"You bastard!!!!!" Aella belted out at the top of her lungs at the same time she jumped up on the bed.
Her legs wobbled a bit on top of the soft mattress from her sudden action but she ignored it as her chest rose in a frantic rhythm, her heart banging against her ribcage.
What made her even more furious was that she didn't see any look of surprise on his face from her outburst. If anything, he looked confused.
"I am going to kill you!!!" She gritted out with fury.
Aella turned her head around as she looked for something she could use to end this pervert's life. A dagger, a sharp object or anything!
Her heart dropped when her eyes fell short. The room was completely empty apart from the pieces of furniture they were using.
He had been a few steps ahead of her. He predicted she would try to harm him if she found out what he have done.
Aella took a few tentative steps back on the bed when the figure in the room stood up from the chair.
With his golden eyes set on her, Aella felt threatened by his gigantic height. He was much taller than she had expected.
Seeing him under the light now made her more terrified than she had ever been. He had an almost mystical glow to his emotionless face and his aura wasn't threatening nor settling either.
She didn't know what to think. She was bedazzled by his pulchritude but outraged by his indecency.
How could a slave to the demon be so menacing?!
"Your rage to kill conflicts me. I suppose I had done only the right," he muttered, his face stoic.
Aella narrowed her eyes when she heard his statement. He was clearly out of his fine marbles!!
"Right?!! You call robbing a lady out of her dignity appropriate?! What profanity!!" She blurted out, her anger barely suppressed.
"Dignity? Humans still have that? How interesting," he scoffed darkly.
What does he mean by that?! Was he classifying her as immoral?!
Aella wondered why her eyeballs hadn't still dropped out of their sockets.
She stared at him with utter contempt before she clenched her teeth and advanced towards him slowly from the bed.
Her feet dipped into the soft mattress and she made a small sprint when she got to the edge, her figure about to pounce directly on the male.
"You heinous brute!!"
But just as she jumped in the air, it was like the entire atmosphere shifted as her body paused in motion.
Aella thought she had died and been moved into the spiritual realm. Her carcass was unmovable, everything apart from her eyes.
W-What was going on?! She had never felt something like this before.
Aella moved her enlarged eyes down to the male in the room.
She noticed he was doing nothing but staring at her intently but she could see something misty was emanating from him and it was what was keeping her in the air.
It was only then she realised that he was the one doing this thing- whatever it was.
Aella closed her eyes tightly and let out a loud cry while hovering in the air.
