章節 37: Unexpected

Shivam was secretly following Vishakha as she entered a classroom on the other side of the corridor. He did a spell to enhance his hearing before going over and then concentrated to hear their conversation.

"I have it." Vishakha said.

"Give it to me. I have to check her blood." he heard Shreya's voice. She sounded desperate.

Blood! Whose? Shivam knew that Shreya also specialized in blood magic like Dhira because she always competed with her. But he couldn't think of anyway they could have gotten Dhira's blood or his. The only other person close to Dhira was Visha. He went into a state of panick as he thought of the fatal outcomes. If Shreya finds out about their blood bond, she will kill Visha to get to Dhira.

He was just about to turn away when he heard Shreya,

"They are not bonded! So, that Visha is useless. Either you find something against that 'almost' leader or I will have your heads!" she was furious. She had yelled all that. Shivam had to cover his ears as they were a lot more sensitive due to the spell. His eyes widened as he heard that. Visha and Dhira had formed a Blood Bond right in front of his eyes. Shreya should have easily found that out. How did this happen? What could have been the reason?

The girls started to squeal and giggle as Yash and Vir walked through the gates. They had reached the top tier of popularity within just two days. Every girl let out cold sighs as they fanned their faces that wouldn't stop blushing. Visha turned to see what the commotion was about and cheered up to see them. She instantly waved at them. She wanted to thank him with a meal for saving her. Yash turned towards her and seemed to have noticed her. He had no expressions on his face as he coldly turned away! Visha was shocked to see his reaction. She couldn't believe it when he was so worried about her just yesterday. Everyone looked at her and felt satisfied. They had been waiting for Visha to be humiliated to satisfy their envy. She felt embarassed as she walked away and saw them sneering at her. She instantly felt depressed as she knew she would be turned into gossip again.

"Look at her making a fool of herself. Just cause she is a little more beautiful than others she thinks every guy would run after her."

"Yeah, so glad that the brothers aren't like the other guys. She should know her limits. Just cause she won a few rounds not everyone would kneel for her."

"She seriously thought she could act like she knew them amd they would play along. What a nice faceslap she got!"

"Look at her being embarassed now. Should've thought of that before pretending to know our cold Viking."

Visha knew that no matter what she says, she would just be digging a hole for herself. Now, she knew why everyone thought Yash was cold. He was not just cold, but ruthless. She clenched her fist as she kept her head down and walked away from the crowd. But she was clear about one thing, she hated that bastard for making her look like a joke.

Vir stared at his Master's back awkwardly when he saw Visha leave heartbroken. Even if she didn't turn out to be Madam, he shouldn't have given her a cold shoulder like that. He just humiliated a lady in front of so many people. Vir felt sorry for her. He caught upto him and gathered the courage to ask him.

"Master!" Yash turned around and glared at him and he shook his head. He thought that Yash didn't want to say anything regarding this.

"Brother" Yash corrected him. He was shocked and nodded before continuing.

"Why did you treat her so coldly? Your actions have turned her into a laughing stock for everyone. She was ridiculed and sneered at. She might not be the Madam but she shouldn't bear the consequences because we assumed her to be. She is just a little girl, she didn't deserve this." Vir pitied her.

Yash pinched his eyebrows as he didn't want to give any explanations for his actions. He had made a mistake by being nice to her before even confirming if she was the one. He had to treat her coldly so she wouldn't make any assumptions regarding their relationship. He didn't want this girl to become an obstacle when he finally finds her. He could understand that this had also confused Vir.

Before Yash could answer him, he heard his name being called and turned to see Visha. He sighed as he was in no mood to hear her cries and complains. Visha looked furious as she stood facing him.

Yash opened his mouth to tell her to go.

"Listen... "

Visha held up her hand and said "Hush!" and Yash fell quiet. He was well respected and feared by all. He was a Prince! No one has ever dared to even look at him directly. He felt insulted as a mere human had the audacity to hush him. He was filled with rage and wanted to snap her neck right away. Visha could feel the threat in his gaze but chose to ignore it. She looked right into his eyes threateningly,

"You listen, a**hole! I'm grateful for your help yesterday but that doesn't give you a right to insult me. I won't forget about now. If I ever see you again, I'll make sure to return it two folds."

Yash was shocked by the courage this little girl had. Even if no one here knew about his identity his aura was still enough to scare people away. This one not only approached him but even threatened him! Was she not supressed like others? Was she not afraid like them?

She then turned her gaze to Vir who was shocked to see someone talk to his Master like that. He felt her gaze and a chill ran down his spine. This was the first time anyone other than his Master had made him feel that. This woman certainly wasn't what he had thought. She did possess a powerful aura when agitated. He could feel why his Master had thought she was the one. Because now, Vir could feel that too.
