Chapter 3 - Provocations and Decisions

"and when you meet.....she will be the one to kill you" she said in serious tone and stood up and walking away from the throne. The purple dress she had on hugged her petite body showing off her seductive curves which didn't match her innocent face.

She turned slowly to the waiting eyes of the emperor whose brow was raised in mockery, blinking and turning her large brown eyes from the two men staring at her unblinking. She looked so adorable and sweet that one wouldn't help caressing her head and cheek.

Oh! She exclaimed and covered her mouth "I almost forgot the last part.... You won't hold it against me right? After all I'm still learning" she said with a huge grin that made her doe eyes look even bigger and brighter.

Theodore just continued to stare at her while Azrael was trying hard not to rip her head off her shoulders. But he said nothing, nor did he make any movement and just stared at her with a nonchalant expression.

Not getting the expected reaction from him, Myra felt slightly disappointed, she furrowed her brow in annoyance. "I just told you that you were going to be killed and you aren't even bothered?" . He started tracing his hands onthe throne completely made of crystal "and why would you think I would fear death, Myra? Guess you're really a child if you don't even know who I am" .

She rolled her eyes and folded her eyes "this is why I hate delivering messages to you..... You clearly know I'm older than you are and yet you talk like I'm a toddler" she scrunched her nose up.

"Maybe when you try to do something about your ...." He stared at her baby like face "facial appearance , I would start to think of you as my great aunt" he said with a playful smirk, not looking like a person whose death was just prophecised.

Surprisingly, Myra didn't utter a word at his taunt and just stared at him thoughtfully. Theodore lowered his head, hiding the smile on his lips. He was someone who could blend perfectly into the background, not that his presence was not strong but he seems to want to fade into the darkness.

Years of doing this made him a master at it, he was a tall man but still a few inches shorter than the emperor. "Or maybe I can just ignore your face and look straight at your body... Because my dear Myra..... you do have a hot body" he said the last part in seductive whisper.

His eyes slightly dilated as he truly looked at her curvy body for the first time In so many years, he never did pay attention to her for some reason. Myra scoffed and unfolded her arms walking towards a chair, sitting down very unladylike. "What bad manners you have Azrael,, you couldn't even offer me a sit. " She said taking a sip of the wine that she made to appear out of thin air.

"Hmm, why can't you make a better face appear the way you made that drink appear?" He said thoughtfully which earned him a glare from Myra. "Looks like you care a lot about my face and you don't need to hear the last part of your prophecy" she commented in irritation curving her mouth in a way that made her dimples stand out more.

Azrael quirked his brow "so there is more, why were you holding back then? Are you sure you are not trying to make something up" he asked while taking a sip of the blood in the glass Theodore handed to him a few second ago. Myra just couldn't bring herself to be patient with this scum of a demon, whenever she promise herself not to get riled up by his taunts. He always breaks her defence, making her display all her emotions openly.

She closed her eyes to calm her emotions, blinking her eyes open she sipped her drink "you know I cannot lie about prophecies... The consequence is too dire for me than the pleasure I will face in seeing you troubled" she smiled sweetly and raised her glass up at him which. He only returned the gestured after downhg the remaining content of his own glass.

He stood up walking towards the door "I'm sleepy now, I'm sure you can find your way out" he said lazily and walked out the door which opened up widely for him. "The gardenia" Azrael paused only for a second "she'll be the one to save you and also the one who kills you" Myra appeared in front of him to complete her sentence when she saw him really walk away.

Azrael raised his brow without showing any emotions in his forest green eyes."hmn I guess I should be scared right?. She's just a baby right now, so I can just kill her to save me future ..... Disturbance" He replied wittily. His words and playful expression shows he wasn't the least bothered. Myra's eyes narrowed. "You are in doubt, you don't believe it" she stated.

"No...no... definitely not my dear Myra, I'm not in doubt I simply know it won't happen. Death is not a threat to me nor is salvation what I seek. My future is mine to decide and that starts from right now."

Theodore came to his side at that very moment "yes my lord" he bowed his head. After staring at him for a few seconds "you won't be able to kill her" Myra said in a low tone. Azrael lazily ran his hand through his hair. "Then I'll lock her away forever" he replied his forest green eyes glinted.
