"Sire , I am sorry to not notice you before. " said Darcel as she respectfully bowed and then pulled her head on to meet this person's eyes.
"Aren't you that poor boy who Livion not only tortured but demoted, as a slave." Said Sin with a devilish smirk on his face.
Darcel didn't respond to his words because she knew it would only increase his trouble if he retorted back.
She just stood there without uttering any word and after some time of silence between them he said,"My lord ,I have to be somewhere ,if you please excuse me."
She offered a polite bow ,with no expression on her face and was proceeding to go when Sin stopped her.
Sin didn't like any lack of emotion and expression from her side and wanted to inquire more about this strangely brave boy.
"Have I given you permission to go?" Said Sin , with an authoritative tone ,"For a mere servant, you really have guts right.Tell me what are your intentions for coming here."
Sin always had his suspicions regarding this boy ,though he was not as cruel as Livion but that didn't mean he was a saint. In Fact he didn't want anyone to ruin their plan.
"Sire, I am sorry, but you are not my master and you can't hinder my work like this." Said Darcel , her lips were parted ,eyes narrowed, and she looked at Sin in a pissed manner.
Sin was now furious, it was his first time meeting such an impetuous servant who not only retorted back but also dared to stand against him.
He clenched his fist and his aura started to spread and became dense as if to gulf and crush Darcel completely.
"Sin , I don't remember asking you to interrogate me to be your assistant. " said Livion as he watched both of them quarrelling and how this started.
Livion was passing by the opposite corridor area with some ministers, discussing their work and schedule about some events that were to come when he heard Darcel's voice and thought to check what happened.
"I thought you would go straight to my office to report the things to me." Said Livion, with coldness surrounding both his face and eyes .
He walked towards them and he did look pissed because of the unnecessary trouble that Sin had created ,it's not like He didn't know about Darcel's motives but he didn't want to reveal.
"Liv, why have you suddenly decided to make him your assistant." Said Sin ," How can you without prior investigation give this important spot to anybody. "
Livion glared at Sin ,his aura intermediating the aura of Sin and ,one could barely ignore the Nobel yet powerful aura of this Prince.
"As I stated earlier, Sin don't meddle in my affairs and wait for me in the office." Said Livion,looking at him without any emotion and clearly stating the difference between their status.
As much as Livion thought of Sin as his friend it was also clear to him that if he gives too much into their friendship ,sin would suffer the consequences and also Livion never wanted all of his plans to be controlled by others.
Sin understood and without further questioning he bowed slightly and with a glare to Darcel went away.
Darcel stared at Sin, and thought that he had to execute his plan fast if he didn't want any further trouble and the people were much sharp then he thought them to be .
"If you are satisfied, then shall we talk about the further procedure?" Said Livon who now stood pretty near Darcel.
"Well yes , your highness. It would be my pleasure to talk about that." Said Darcel looking at Livion and his expression that held anger soon disappeared into nothingness.
Livion came a bit closer and Darcel took a step back and saw Livion watching her intently .
"Sire…" Darcel wanted to speak something but Livion hushed her by putting his finger on his lips.
"Aren't you injured heavily and have a fever?" Said Livion scanning his body," Then why are you roaming here making it worse."
"Yes I did have a fever but now , I am alright , and wanna take the position before your mindset changes." Said Darcel, She was pretty brave and spoke her mind .
Livion stared at her and a light chuckle escaped his lips ,it was the first time that somebody even after being tortured and injured dared to speak their mind.
"Look here , Don't forget with whom you are talking ." Said He and the pressure that Darcel felt increased.
She noticed that Livion's bluish eyes now hold some light, and a mirth in them which was earlier absent and she wondered whether she became delusional or not.
"Then if you are alright ,let's start your real trial .Shall we?" Said Livion but his tone was sarcastic.
Darcel looked at him and wondered that was the torture less that now he was also numbering her, as clearly she didn't have any other choice then the one he mentioned.
"Yes ,Your Highness , I am ready ." Said Darcel ,She played along with this cruel man as even if she retorted there's no profit.
"Then, meet me at my office at 7 p.m." said as he looked at the little girl who was barely standing, "Go to the room that was assigned to you and apply the medication that Refrain brought. "
Darcel was frozen "room , medicine, when were they assigned to her? More importantly, Why did he offer her the fast healer medicine?" Thought He as he looked up.
Livion's lips slightly lifted up to the left corner and he twisted them as if he was himself Surprised at Darcel's stare, but after thinking for a second he remembered before assigning the room Darcel fainted .
"Guards show Darcel his room where he can rest a bit."continued Livion ,"you better be in good shape before evening otherwise ,I doubt if you can live."
As Livion told this his face was without expression but Darcel could see the mark of sarcasm his bright yet distant eyes hold.
As far as Darcel hated him ,she never ignored his words because she knew that this man can do anything that he wants .
Darcel bowed and soon a guard appeared and signalled Darcel to follow her.
Livion stood there for some time before she disappeared in the distant corridor and he turned to the hallways where he kept the minister's waiting before he came here.
"You better be obedient,Troublemaker, otherwise you will become the prey today." Thought Livion as he walked down the L shaped corridor and looking forward to the coming evening.
