章 409: Theory

Gideon remained deceptively relaxed even after Evie's serious threat. He just stared at her for a long while before smiling nonchalantly.

"I have never underestimated you, Queen. I am well aware of your power… of what you can do. Or else why would I need to blackmail you? Also, if you remember, I even had to use such an underhanded tactic just to bring you here?" he said lightly as he lifted his hand and grabbed her wrist gently. "So please calm down now and listen to me. Don't forget you're in the Under Lands now, and you and your little one are …" his eyes hardened for a moment and Evie felt her hand go numb, as if he had turned it into stone. Her heart immediately thundered the moment he mentioned her child. "…my prisoners. Ah, the dozens of vampires and a few light faes too. Or would you rather I called you as 'guests'?" Gideon suddenly smirked before his face returned to its neutral state once again.
