BXBX NOVEL Chapter 181: Love and Possession
That kind of work was troublesome but it wasn’t that difficult for him.
Possessing good looks also helped.
However, Apollonia was an exceptionally difficult opponent.
Her face, voice, and every word she said clouded Uriel’s rational thinking.
Yet the only thing he desired was her heart.
He would get it someday if not at this moment.
Chapter 4. Love and Possession
“Princess.”
“What is it?” She asked innocently.
Evangeline, who was reading a thick book in Caelion’s study, glanced up at the sudden call.
Bewildered, Caelion shot back.”Are you asking because you don’t know?”
His arm was full of scratches from sharp talons.
“Do you want some medicine?” Evangeline’s face still looked innocent.
Her copper eyes showed heartfelt concern.
Caelion sighed.
Having Evangeline in his residence was more than what he expected.
She seemed to hide it from Caelion’s eyes at first but her room was always messy with traces of evil things.
Everything about her just stinks after a day she began staying with him .
Gradually, she neglected making an effort to hide these evil things entering and exiting the room, and now she openly ordered their meals from Caelion.
Meals that were enough for ten people to eat.
His problem wasn’t just the meals.
He could stand the stench, too.
However, the trouble she caused this time was huge.
“I have the medicine but that’s not my problem.”
“Then,what’s the problem?”
“My problem is that monster you’re raising. That’s what you did.”
Caelion had been under attack by a one-eyed raven for several days.
Surprisingly, the monster who seemed close to Evangeline had a grudge against Caelion for no reason.
“It seemed to have imprinted on you.”
When a one-eyed raven hold a grudge against one person, that individual would get hate everywhere since this particular monster had the characteristic of chasing and bullying people until death.
When a monster had assigned an object of revenge, it was called ‘imprinting’.
After they had ‘imprinted’ someone, it accurately identified the resented object’s location wherever it hid and followed it with great persistence.
One-eyed ravens were highly intelligent in attracting their prey and they also had this clever trick of imitating the sounds of other beasts.
Occasionally, some of them could accurately imitate human voices similar to parrots.
Unfortunately, a baby one-eyed raven had imprinted on Caelion.
It must be because he had accidentally hit it while opening the window one day.
“If it weren’t for you in the first place, there wouldn’t be such a thing hanging around nearby,” Caelion growled.
Every time Caelion decided to go somewhere, the monster would appear out of nowhere and claw past his shoulder or arm.
The one-eyed raven was still young and small so it wasn’t able to inflict a greater blow.
However, the intensity was getting worse.
When Caelion was indoors, the baby monster would watch him from outside the window and persistently aim at him.
Sometimes, it would seize the chance to fly through a slightly open window and hit him with its wings before running away.
The monster attacked him as if it wouldn’t be able to live if it couldn’t chase Caelion until he died.
Evangeline, who couldn’t seem to realize how ruthless her pet could be, only have to whistle once before it flew towards her and became gentle.
It was unbelievable to see the known species behave like this when it was impossible to tame.
The next day, it appeared out of Caelion’s window of course.
“Oh, you’re talking about Melody.”
“What? Melody?”
Caelion smiled, finding it absurd.
The name didn’t suit a single-eyed demon whose cries were too strange and ominous.
Even that ugly winged horse was named Priya so where did all these ridiculous names come from?
“It’s cute if you keep looking at it,” Evangeline grumbled like an upset child.
“If you don’t control it around me, I’ll pierce its eye with an arrow.” Caelion threatened fiercely.
Then, Evangeline made a puppy-eyed look and tried her best to look pitiful.
“It’s still young. Shouldn’t you be the one getting used to it?”
At her words, Caelion seemed to be choking up.
“Look! I had scratches all over me.”
Evangeline rolled up her sleeves and showed her arms.
Indeed, her arms were full of wounds—scratches, bites, and bruises—-incomparable to Caelion but she didn’t seem to care.
Ignoring her, Caelion growled. “I will not say it twice, Evangeline. If it doesn’t stop attacking me, I’ll bake your pet for dinner tomorrow.”
It was very difficult to catch a single-eyed crow due to its swiftness.
It was also difficult to hurt their hard bodies since they recovered quite quickly even if they got injured.
