Chapter 620: Just for you
Chapter 620: Just for you
Whipping her head towards Klauz, Evie exclaimed. “What’s that?!”
Klauz just stared back at her, deadpan. He looked as though he did not have any plans on answering her query at all. Evie furrowed her brows.
But the cave shook again. A vibration, and something that sounded like a growl echoed through the cave at the same time.
The sound made Evie’s eyes widen in shock. This recognisable power… that familiar sound… “Onyx!!!” she blurted out and once again, the ground trembled as though going through an earthquake but this time, it was stronger. It was as if he had responded to what she shouted out earlier. She was certain now that it was Onyx out there and he was responding to her!
Her body glowed with a brighter light, but the binding spell that Klauz had wrapped around her strengthened with the flexing of her powers as well, causing Evie to pause and look at him. She took a few seconds to scrutinise this vengeful man standing before her. The look in his eyes made her dull the glow of her powers in response.
This man was not someone she should take lightly. Though in her vision he was one of her best allies, at the moment he was still not. He was truly notorious, and she could tell it in her bones that the deadly ice she saw reflected in his eyes was not something anyone could easily thaw. In fact, if Evie had not seen him in her vision, she would never once think that someone – anyone – could ever mellow this man out. He was like a thousand-year-old crystal ice that would resist any and all attempts in thawing him out.
And right now, he was nothing but pure ice and stone – a real villain who would not hesitate to reap lives just to get what he wanted. The fact that he had tried to kill Queen Beatrice was enough of a proof of that. And it was not that he had a personal vendetta against her. His attempted murder was all just so her husband, the king and both the princes would be able to feel the agony of losing a loved one. ‘Such cruelty’, Evie thought and tsked in her head.
Evie took a deep breath and further reduced her power output so that it dulled her light until the only thing that was left was the small orb of light she was using as a lamp to light her path. Even so, Klauz did not drop his guard down for a slightest bit.
The ground stopped shaking after that.
“Tell me, how did Onyx ended up in here?” she asked him.
Klaus approached her, then in an instant he grabbed her around the waist and they both disappeared from the cave.
They were back in the dark corridors where they had come from a while ago.
“He came straight to the Under Lands after leaving the vampire city.” He answered after signalling Evie to continue walking with a nudge of his head.
“You know about that war too?” Evie was a little shocked that he was aware of things that were happening up on the surface.
“I knew about it.” Came his cryptic reply.
“Since when? Were you watching?”
“Hmm. Since that stupid prince found the rift in the portal.” His tone sounded displeased when he mentioned that.
“So you’re saying that you’ve been following Gideon ever since?!” Evie almost could not hold back the sharp tone as she asked Klauz. Thankfully her reactions were quick, and she managed to control her tone and kept it calm and neutral.
“Yes.”
Evie could not believe it. It was that long ago?! Gideon had been followed by this man and that was why he had found out about her pregnancy. He must have seen the very trick Gideon used on her when he kidnapped her and that was why he could use the very same trick on her right now! How come? How could she not sense him at all back then? How could Gideon not even notice that he was being followed by this man?
“I have been an assassin as long as I could remember, Light Queen. My abilities to remain undetected and not to be sensed by anyone is one of my greatest strengths. Something only I alone possess.” He began explaining, “You are the first to actually notice my presence. I’ve known that you have the ability to detect me if I get close enough to you and that was why I didn’t try to approach you ever since that stupid prince brought you here in the Under Lands.”
“And what made you approach me now?” Evie raised a questioning brow.
“I’ve sensed that today was the right time to carry out my plan. Your guard was down and you’re inside a room that isn’t located in the King’s protected castle. Plus… I managed to divert the attention of that troublesome prince.”
They finally reached the double doors at the end of the corridor. It opened on its own and once Evie stepped inside it, she halted in surprise. She thought that the door would lead them to another room, but she was wrong. The door had instead led them out to a veranda.
She walked towards the railing and looked down, just to see another unexpected surprise. Below was a massive training ground!
Evie did not need to ask to know that this was his formidable army dressed in all obsidian outfits in her vision. There were at least thousands of them, and she could sense the power and abnormal strength oozing out from his troops.
This army… Evie could feel it in her bones… she needed every single one of them to fight against the monsters. How in the world did Klauz manage to raise an army like this here?
Once glance and it was enough to tell Evie that she did not want to voluntarily make them her enemy. Fighting this army would be a serious chaos and a pain in the a**. It was not because she did not have the confidence to defeat them. But it would be a massive trouble that might result in unnecessary waste of resources, manpower, and precious time. Time that they did not have.
“I know I don’t need to speak for you to understand the strength I have, Light Queen.” Klauz’s voice echoed behind her. “Take a good look and see for yourself. This army… I’ve created them just for you.”
Whipping her head towards Klauz, Evie exclaimed. “What’s that?!”
Klauz just stared back at her, deadpan. He looked as though he did not have any plans on answering her query at all. Evie furrowed her brows.
