*Lionel*
"Wife" he whispered hoarsely into her ear, a surprise silent moan escaped her lips and she bit on her lower lip so hard feeling embarrassed and shocked about the sound that just came out of her. Alexander who had heard her silent moan felt fulfilled but regretted it as he saw her bite on her lower lip, it was so seducing to him, like an aphrodisiac that he pulled away immediately to stop himself from kissing her hard right there and then.
Elaine was confused on why her body complained after he pulled away but she immediately left without taking a single look back at her husband who just stood in place watching her retreating back
"My Lord, I think your theory is right, you loose control when your emotions are hightened but not with her, it seems your demon refuses to hurt her" Xavier came behind Alexander and said surprised
"I know, but why?" Alexander said and tried to calm himself down
"It seems she put a spell on you" Xavier said playfully and got replied with a death stare by Alexander
"Okay am sorry, but it's true, she barely did anything and you are seduced whereas every other women try for hours to entice you" he said with a smirk and vanished into thin air before Alexander could look at him again
Elaine rushed into the room and rested her palm on the window frame, inhaling the fresh breeze to calm her raging heart
'this is going to be harder than I thought' she thought with creased brows. She stayed there for a while, trying to fix her shattered mind. All she's doing was for her father.
She had made a deal with him the day he told her she had to marry the second prince of Alvania. She had always wanted to become a warrior, going to battle and defeating her enemies and she did.
*******Flashback************,
Years back, Elaine faked an accident and the whole kingdom thought she was going to die soon. Her father had sent her to another continent where she was to get treated. Unknown to him it was just a decoy. Elaine was taken to Umar a country not so far from Alvania. It was a small country with fearless warriors who battled each day for fun.
Elaine had bribed the physician before the fake accident and so it was easy for her to pull things off. The physician kept receiving letters from the king and he always responded with
'she doing better now, but not completely healed yet'.
Elaine cut her long hair and put on a mask. She got into a warrior training school in Umar and changed her name. Since then she was forced to take care of the needs of her seniors who always called her Lionel.The physician was surprised that she accepted the torments head on like it was nothing whereas she was a princess. She had to sharpen swords and shine armours. At the end the physician started to admire her zeal to achieve her goal. Elaine worked hard day and night, practicing her sword skills since she was already great at archery. She didn't make friends with any of the other juniors who always tried to talk to her. They finally gave up trying to talk to her since she chooses to go solo.
At the end she fought the strongest warrior in the country 'the general of the royal army' and won against him with no sweat and a smirk plastered on her face. She became the strongest in the whole country and the king offered her a position as the new general of the royal army of umar and battle against the country of Alvania. At that time her hair had grown back to its long self but she didn't cut it this time, only packed it up to a bun, she knew soon her dad would come to Umar to check on her, so the best option for her was to fight her first and last battle.
She had fought the battle fearlessly and though most of her elites were killed she managed to capture one man closest to the enemy's leader who was rumored to be a monster, the second prince of Alvania, the general.
She got him locked up with much difficulty and tried to win him over but the man was strong headed which pissed her to no limit. She captured another of his comrade who identified himself as Hart. The man was so scared and quickly revealed to them that the strong headed man was Xavier the right hand man to their general, the second prince
She kept in touch with the physician so as to be prepared when her dad would finally loose his temper and force her back to the capital of dystrya.
She admired Xavier's courage and loyalty to the prince even at the cost of his life and decided to stop trying to make him surrender to her. She talked to him nicely after that and even dared him into battling with her with the prize being his freedom. Xavier liked Lionel's spirit and decided to fight with him again remembering how fun it was for him to finally meet someone stronger than he was to fight against, so he accepted.
Lionel had prepared two sharpened swords for him to choose and brought him to a wider space in the woods a bit far from the camp but he refused and asked for his blade so Lionel ordered her elites to get him his sword
They fought with Lionel attacking while Xavier managed to block some of his attacks. She felt a different aura around them but she didn't feel danger. She knew Xavier felt it too with the look in his eyes, the difference was Xavier eyes told that he already knew who it was.
