Chapter 3
Liam's POV
Amelia just had to come over to worsen the case. I hope she doesn't expect an apology because I do not plan on giving her one. After all, it's her fault for not informing me.
I got up from my bed and found her still sleeping on the floor.
"Amelia, wake up, it's late and you are still asleep. I have to go to work now" I told her as I bent down to tap her shoulder.
"I'm sorry for what happened last night Liam" she apologized as she got up from the floor.
"It's ok but next time just inform me first before coming to my house" I told her as. I went into the bathroom.
After having my bath I came out and saw that she had wrapped her body with a towel. If not for the fact that I was in a hurry I would be fúckîng life out of her by now.
"Amelia my Lord's daughter had eloped" I said unexpectedly
"What do you mean she has eloped?" She asked with a confused look on her face.
"I mean she has run away with her lover" I rolled my eyes while I said to her.
"I thought you said she loves you so what other lover are you talking about?" She asked me as she smiled wickedly at me.
"You better not get on my nerves now " I told her as I began to put on my clothes. She got a bit frightened by my warning.
"Anyways I won't be around for a day or 2" I added
"But why?" She asked while trying her best to avoid eye contact with me.
"I am going to search for her" I said and she just nodded.
I left the house and went straight to the palace. I put on my guard uniform and went to see Lord Zaka in his room.
"Good morning my Lord" I greeted as I walked in and bowed my head in front of him.
"So what is good about the morning?. When you haven't even started making preparations to find my daughter. Remember you have only two days" he said as he stood up from his bed and walked out of the room.
Time was ticking and I didn't really have much time, so I went to confront the other two guards who also escorted her that day.
We all left the demon part of Oecia to the wizard part.
We almost forgot to take off our uniforms but thankfully one of the guards had remembered.
We needed to do this so we could easily blend in and demons who are not influential sometimes are not welcomed in the wizard part of Oecia.
Out of the many kingdoms in the wizard part of Oecia we had managed to cover two and hadn't found any sign of her yet.
We became tired and decided to rest. I could feel energy leaving my body and I wanted to give up and run away to the human world, maybe just maybe Lord Zaka won't be able to find me there.
Unlike the human world where they use phones to communicate, demons just call the names and remember the face of who they want to speak to and then try to see the face of the person they want to speak to then the person appears in their palm.
On the other hand the face of the person who tried to call will also appear on the receiver's hand. If you didn't want to speak to the person at that point all you needed to do was wave your hand and then it would be impossible for the person to reach you again unless you reach the person again.
Lords and wealth demons were the only ones in the demon kingdom that could get phones, the rest of the demons used that pattern. We call it "anachy".
I received an anachy from Lord Zaka.
"Where are you?" He asked
"I am in the wizard part of Oecia, my Lord," I replied .
"You are definitely in the wrong papce because I just received an anachy from her so-called lover, asking me to bring some money or else he will kill my daughter" he said and I could see the anger in his eyes.
I felt like he was going to tear things into pieces.
"Better get back here to the palace so you will go get my daughter" he shouted.
I informed the other three guards and we teleported back to the palace.
"What took you so long?" Lord Zaka asked as he slapped me across the face.
"I'm sorry my Lord" he said
He gave me the location and some certain instructions.
According to his instructions I am not allowed to get too close to the location or else a spell will be cast on me by Barbara's so-called lover.
I was asked to go alone since I was the one that saw them together and I was the only person that knew what he looked like.
Normally it is very difficult for witches or wizards to cast a spell on a demon unless they are powerful.
The fact that I am not a rich demon will make it very easy for him to enchant me because rich demons pay visits to different powerful witches and wizards to give them more powers.
Barbara's POV
I didn't realize the kind of trouble I got myself into until I found myself tied up in a dark place. I tried to use my powers to break free but I saw that someone had put a demon anklet on me( This sucks all the powers of a demon).
They are very hard to get a hold of. But who could have taken me.
I saw a male figure coming towards me.
"Who are you?" I asked almost in fear.
"But he was quiet, he didn't say anything to me.
"Why did you bring me here?. You better let me go or else my dad is not going to spare you. Do you know who he is huh?. He is Lord Zaka so you better let me go now" I spoke to the figure, trying to sound brave.
I still couldn't see who it was, I couldn't see the face. As the figure came closer and closer to me I got scared and then I finally saw his face, I couldn't recognize him. I had no idea who he was.
"Oh! Is daddy's little princess scared?. No you shouldn't be, don't worry I won't hurt you" he said in a low but very scary voice. He held my chin and was about to kiss me when I turned away.
"So you won't let me kiss you now but you brought money for me?. Aren't you my lover?" He asked.
What does he mean by me being his lover? And what money is he talking about?.
The only money I knew I took from the house was the money I wanted to sue to buy a human pet for my dad.
The last thing I remember is that I was talking to a strange guy in a black hood, he had bumped into me and was apologizing, we were still trying to settle the issue when I saw a flash of light.
After that I can't remember what happened next
"Who are you and why did you bring me here? How did I even get here in the first place?" I asked him again, this time without showing any sign of fear. I sounded rather intimidating.
"So you really can't remember. That means the portion you inhaled was very powerful" he said.
"But never mind, I don't see any trouble in refreshing your memory by telling you how you ended up with me, my darling princess, '' he added.
I looked at him, so very confused. What is he even talking about? What portion could I have inhaled?
He took a deep breath and started to speak
" You see, princess, I reside in the kingdom which your dad is Lord over. I desperately needed some money to get my business. I'm the human world up and running. I was opportuned to meet your dad so I decided to ask your dad for a loan. He didn't refuse to give me the money" he took a pause and began again
"He gave me hope that I'll soon get the money but he kept on delaying and that was when I knew that he had been taking me for a fool all these while. It would have been better if he just refused to give me the money but no he did no such thing.."
He was still explaining when I interrupted and said
"So you decided to seek revenge by kidnapping me?"
"Calm down princess that ain't the whole story" he said with a smirk on his face.
He took another pause and continued.
"So I went to him again to remind him of his promise but he sent me away, he embarrassed me. I found out about you, his darling daughter". He took a deep breath and continued.
"I tried to get a hold of you. I tried to explain things to you but your guards had always managed to keep me away from you so I came up with a plan.."
"To kill me for revenge?" I interrupted him.
"Of course not. If I wanted to do that you would have been dead by now so don't just jump into conclusions, at least not yet. Try to hear me out first" he replied as he began to untie me.
" I heard that you were coming to the
market. I wanted to talk to you but I saw that your guards still had their eyes on you after you walked away from the car. I had already mixed a portion at home before I left the house. I did that just in case" he finally untied me. I stood up and sat on a chair and continued listening to him.
" So I bumped into you and sprayed the potion that was already in the bottle. You inhaled and the potion performed it's magic"
"Which is?" I asked
" To make you think we are lovers who have planned to run away. Please just cooperate with me. When your father brings the money I will let you go. I might be a wizard but I am not that evil'' he pleaded.
I agreed to play along with his plan.
