Chapter 869 - THEIR POWER (5)
The witch walked closer, but didn't break her eye contact with him. Her red cloak fluttered against the wind, as she moved gracefully.
Jedrek watched every step that she took and found himself in a daze.
When was the last time he met her?
Was it in the garden before his mating ceremony? When he refused her suggestion for a final hug? It seemed so, because after that, Jedrek had never seen her again and she remained as a blurry memory in his mind, especially when the bond between Lilac and him was strengthened and the events after that had Jadrek almost completely forget about her.
But, not the fact that Serefina had crossed the bridge and betrayed him.
Maybe because it was not the first time she had done so, therefore the damage of her action this time didn't feel really bad and with Lilac beside him, Jedrek could digest the fact faster and moved on to their next plan.
However, the sight of her right now, made Jedrek reminisce the moments they were together. There was something strange with this situation, he felt more sensitive and nostalgic.
"Jedrek," Serefina called his name softly and stretched out her hand to touch him. "I miss you, do you miss me?"
Jedrek squinted his eyes, unable to move and let her cold fingers brush against his cheeks, along his jaw line and his lips.
The king gasped slightly when his lips parted and Serefine rested her hand against his chest. She tiptoed and tried to kiss him.
This peaceful night was a perfect scene for the lovers to have their intimate moment, to be drawn in this strange atmosphere and became addicted to each other.
Jedrek watched as Serefina's face loomed in his sight, closing her lime green eyes when she was about to kiss him.
However, in one second, when she was about to kiss the man in front of her, but the next second she was screeching on the ground, fell on her back onto the dirt.
"Jedrek!" Serefina screeched and glared at the lycan, but before she could utter another word, Jedrek had moved forward and clawed her face.
His movement was swift and quick when he cut her throat, but instead of blood, it was black smoke that came out from the open wound.
The smoke covered the red haired witch entire body, until her whole being disappeared before Jedrek's eyes.
Yet, it didn't seem to leave the king in any surprise, if anything, he looked like he had expected this to happen.
"You are very cruel, even to your ex lover," a woman's voice rang from behind the tree, before she stepped out from the darkness and giggled.
"Asmodeus," Jedrek called her name.
He had guessed it was her, who had imitated Serefina's figure and created such atmosphere that could lead into something else. This devil was truly pain in the a**!
Jedrek had literally lived with the devils under the same roof, since he had to deal with the soul of his deceased father, back then when they were still in the main castle.
He knew this trick and had often experienced it. However, the devils seemed not to learn anything and kept using the same method again and again.
Moreover, Serefina wouldn't have done that and say such stupid things. That word had never left her lips, even when they were together, the witch would scarcely say something susceptible like that.
"You always knew it was me," Asmodeus said with a regretful sigh at the end of her sentence.
Jedrek didn't have time to deal with this devil, neither did he want to be with her any longer. If only he could kill the devil, he would have done that centuries ago, or on any chance that he was given.
Unfortunately, the devils couldn't die and it was pretty annoying to have sworn enemies he couldn't kill.
"Where are you going? We just met each other again after months!" Asmodeus yelled at Jedrek. "Hey, comeback! Don't you miss me?" the devil asked coquettishly, but she felt upset when Jedrek didn't even glance at her and walked back to his camp.
"Oh, so annoying like always," the devil grumbled.
However, when Jedrek finally disappeared from her sight and Asmodeus thought she was all alone now, she suddenly felt something flew past in her direction and out of instinct, she moved away to dodge whatever came her way.
When she turned around, she noticed what they were and couldn't care less to guess whose work it was.
They were fireballs, which burned the ground where she was standing earlier.
"Do you want to burn me?" Asmodeus turned her head and looked at the figure that leaned against the tree lazily, with another fireball, ready to be launched at the devil in any moment.
"Can I do that?" Serefina raised her eyebrows questioningly. "Since you can't die twice, what are you afraid of?" she asked in a mocking tone.
"Very funny," Asmodeus let out a wry laugh and scoffed. "Are you done with your task? What are you doing here?"
Serefina shrugged her shoulders and looked at the woman. "I am the one who had to ask you, what were you doing, pretending to be me?"
"No need to get mad, your man is very faithful, he even knew that it was not you," Asmodeus grinned. "It's okay, this is not the first time I got rejected. I have been living with him for centuries, so I got used to his behavior."
And another fireball came in her way, but this time Asmodeus caught it with her bare hand and extinguished it with a blow.
"Stop throwing these things at me, I will not touch your man again. It's not like he would ever let me do that." she said irritably. "Are you done with your task?"
"Hm," Serefina hummed and turned around to walk away.
"Great!" Asmodeus said cheerfully. "So, it meant even if the guardian angel stops the time, it won't affect us, right? The last time it happened, it was very annoying."
"Yes," Serefina said.
