SPELLBOUND

Chapter 455 - Chill



Kione and Evie were still busy discussing and ironing out the details on Evie's plan when a dark fae kept looking over their way. Evie had noticed the peculiar actions of the dark fae since a while ago but since she made no move to approach them, she thought it was just a matter of being curious and had ignored her presence. But it seems as though Kione was bothered about it, and he interrupted their conversation to comment about it. 

"I think she might have something to say, Queen. Let's hear her out first." Kione suggested and as Evie nodded, he dissolved the sound barrier and motioned the dark fae to approach. 

"What is it?" He asked and the dark fae bowed to the both of them. 

"My lord I… I think you need to know about this." The dark fae said in hesitation. "About the human girl that Prince Gideon brought back."

Immediately, Evie and Kione straightened, alarm immediately blazed in their eyes. Did something happen to Vera?

"She's been wandering around in the castle for a while now." The dark fae quickly continued after seeing the both of them in high alert.

"What? And no one stopped her?" Evie exclaimed. She continued interrogating the dark fae. "Is someone accompanying her?" 

The dark fae looked confused before shaking her head mutely, causing Evie to widen her eyes. 

"We didn't receive any orders to… to stop her from leaving her room or going anywhere she wants to …" the dark fae looked quite intimidated at Evie's progressively darkening expression and now her shoulders sunk as she spoke. 

Evie's head snapped at Kione, and the lord quickly explained. 

"I know this is weird, but Gideon had set a rule in this castle. And the first rule is for the servants to never do a thing out of their own volition unless it had been ordered for them to do so. Gideon hated being interrupted even if it's just by accident. That was why he had set such a rule. And these servants here will never dare to do something they're not told to do." 

A sharp sigh escaped Evie's lips and she could only turn to the dark fae again. This brother-in-law of hers and his rules really were a pain. 

"Where is she now? She's hurt, and she should not be walking too much and wandering around." Evie shot out quickly when the dark fae looked at Kione with a helpless gaze. 

"My Lord, she was heading towards the hall of pleasure in the left wing section of the castle when I rushed over here. She might have already reached there as of now –" the dark fae timidly reported, hoping that the recipients of the message would remain reasonable and not kill of the messenger for the unfavourable report.

"What hall of pleasure?!" Evie cut her off before her eyes flew to Kione in panic. The words 'hall of pleasure' itself did not give a good connotation in Evie's mind and it only caused more worries for Vera.

The man who was looking back at Evie also had his eyes wide opened. He could literally feel his sweat pores open and the sweat roll down his skin. 

"Shit!" he cursed and in a blink of an eye he disappeared. And Evie deduced he was going to the rumoured 'hall of pleasure'. Nothing had better happen to Vera. 

Inside the hall, Vera just stood there, paralyzed. She could not believe her eyes. Men and women were everywhere, naked and undulating under colourful lights coming from the different coloured magical lamps being suspended at certain distances from each other over the ceiling, doing all kind of obscene things. She did not dare focus her gaze on any one of them, but she could tell clearly what kind of place she had unwittingly stepped into. The music was loud and yet she could hear the familiar sounds she used to…

Suddenly, a palm descended and covered her eyes and then everything suddenly became dark and utterly quiet. 

When the palm that covered her view was finally removed, a handsome face appeared before her eyes. He was smiling, flashing those perfect and startling white teeth. 

"What are you doing here, darling dearest?" he asked, his voice melodious and sweet. "Seems to me that you're lost, right?" 

Vera forced herself to snap out of her shock. Her eyes looked around again and she blinked, as she could no longer see what her eyes were being assaulted before this man appeared. 

"You shouldn't be here. This hall… it's not a nice place as it makes you see some unwanted scenes and… well… not so nice illusions." He grinned at her, his smile becoming as sweet as his voice.

Illusions? Vera could only utter in her mind. 

Then he gently but firmly held her shoulder and turned her around. "Now let's go, darling dear." He pushed on her back gently and Vera could only move forward, wordlessly. 

Kione bit his lips and released his pent-up breath as quietly as he could, feeling ever so relieved he had found her first, before anything bad could have happened. He noticed her robe and he was so fucking relieved, knowing that the only reason no one had dared grabbed such a beauty like her yet was because of Gideon's robe on her. Seeing that almost all the males already noticed her and their eyes that were filled with lust made him feel a certain chill running through him. Damn, he had just barely managed to escape death, did he not? 

When the door finally closed behind them, Kione took another quiet and deep breath, and he was about to let go of her small and frail shoulders when he felt a sudden and much stronger chill that seemingly slammed into him . Double shit! He cursed quietly, already knowing that no one would make him feel this kind of sensation but him alone.

He raised his eyes and as he had expected, Gideon was already standing ten steps away from them.. Gideon was looking at them with a face so dark that Kione's survival instincts actually kicked in speedily and without warning.
