Lucas waited until her breathing became steady and calm before leaving the bed.
"Forgive me Lisa"He whispered to the sleeping Lisa. Waving his hand in a circular motion, an average height portal appeared, shimmering in a golden hue.
He gave one more glance at her and entered the portal to another world. Stepping out of the portal, his whole demeanour changed.
The cold aura he always suppressed around Lisa had come out in full blast. His ocean blue eyes held but one emotion, bloodlust. Each stride he took towards his destination was confident and precise. His elegant fingers were placed firmly beside his blade that hanged from his waist. His already black hair looked darker than before and his handsome face had become more refined. Anyone that were to see him would instantly want to bow down and give up their life for him.
He proceeded towards the drawing room to meet a friend of his who owned the house he was in. Arriving at the drawing room, he sighted his friend Theodore Roose looking through some parchments thoroughly.
" Your Highness"Theodore stood from his seat and bowed upon noticing the arrival of Lucas.
"Any news on the revolting demons?"He asked taking a seat on which Theodore sat after.
"The ones that were spotted have all been executed cleanly"Theodore informed and Lucas gave a satisfied nod.
"Good"Lucas relaxed on the chair and heaved a tired sigh. He was damn exhausted of all this shit.
Theodore who was done with the work he was doing, put the parchments aside and gave Lucas a curious gaze.
"What about the girl you were assigned to?."
"She's resting"He answered curtly and that was when Theodore finally understood.
"Did you run away from her?" He gave Lucas a knowing look and Lucas arched one of his perfectly sculpted brows.
"What makes you think that?"
"The reason is actually very simple. You weren't very excited when you were given the job out of the bloom and all guardians are to be with their protectee at all times and here you are."Theodore explained without missing a thought of his.
"You aren't exactly right but your not wrong either. By the way I need you to track down a demon named Nicholas zech and the soul of demon Calhoun Gowda should be handed to me too." A sinister smile crawled it's way through Lucas face and Theodore internally pitied the poor souls that had messed with him.
"Yes your Highness."He bowed his head and stood up disappearing from the room.
....
Lisa jerked up from her bed gasping for air and held her chest tightly. She touched her hair that was damp from her own sweat and sighed. Once again she was unsuccessful in overcoming whatever spell he did to her. She grumpily stood up and freshened up, choosing to go with casual clothes.
Going downstairs, her eyes searched for her mother but there was no one in sight. That bothered her a lot, she had never been gone for this long and her brother was not around for her to confront him.
After she had breakfast, she went to her room and started going through all her unread messages on her phone.
"Lisa.."
She looked up from her phone and searched around for who called her and saw Lucas there.
'Just great'
She glared at him and returned back to what she was doing.
Lucas stared at the girl whose eyes reminded him of deers and knew that she was angry.
"Little deer are you angry with me?"
No response
Walking up to her and sitting beside her he said"Ask me any questions and I may answer them, depends on the question though"
Lisa dropped her phone and observed Lucas knowing how cunning he could be. She couldn't help but notice the way he kept looking at her in a weird way. The way one looks at food.
"Don't look at me like that"She said as a blush slowly creeped into her cheeks.
"Like how?"He asked feigning innocence.
"Like the way you are looking at me now"
Without blinking he answered back"Then should I touch you."
Lisa wished the floor could just open up and eat her, she couldn't believe what this pervert just said. She was sure her face was as red as a tomato.
'She had to divert this embarrassing topic'
"What are you Lucas, you can't only be a guardian can you?" Ever since she heard what he said yesterday, though he hadn't said much, something just didn't add up. There was surely many other things he was hiding from her.
He brought his brought his face close to hers leaving just an inch gap between them"If I tell you what I am will you run away?"
She looked at him without a speck of doubt and said "Even if you are the devil himself I won't leave you"
Lucas smiled at the girl's naivety and innocence making Lisa's heart skip a beat.
'What is wrong with me?' She said in her thoughts, feeling a zoo of butterflies in her tummy again.
"Well if you are so keen on knowing little deer I will make an exception and tell you a little about myself. I am Lucas Devon, the prince and second in command of the underworld.
Lisa stared at him with a confused expression. How could he be a guardian and the prince of the underworld. If she was right guardians is the short form of guardian angels and the underworld is a place for demons. Was that even a right combination?.
"I know what you want to ask and I won't answer your question. Haven't you heard the saying, ignorance is a bliss?." He said before she could say a thing.
She opened her mouth to say more but the cold look she received next from him told her he wasn't willing to push the topic. She closed her mouth back knowing her limits.
"You said I can ask you any question" She pouted her lips and frowned slightly after.
"That I did"He confirmed with a nod.
"Will you be truthful in every answer?"She asked him carefully.
"No"He replied without sugar-coating his words.
The frown on her face disappeared and was replaced by bewilderment.
'If this was honesty then she didn't want to be honest'
But she asked anyway"Those times you were with me before you left you always do some sort of magic that makes me unable to control my own body. Why do you do that?"
He gave her a dead-paned look and replied"I don't remember doing that, you must have been dreaming."
