Audrey boiled in anger and she left that place to go to search through something in the cabinet, which confused everyone including Lisa who stepped back warily.
She came back with a jug in her hand and lunged its contents towards Lisa but Lisa already expecting something like that caught her hand and bent it towards Audrey and she watched as a greenish liquid covered her from head to toe and the jug fell on the floor.
A crashing sound was heard and Audrey screamed in disgust and shame as some maids giggled at the sight. Even her friends looked slightly amused.
"Next time you try this stunt again, don't make it so obvious."
Just at that moment, the chef came back with the snacks and he looked even more confused than Audrey who couldn't believe what was happening.
"Here are the snacks you asked for milady." He spoke even while confused.
"Oh thank you!"
Leaving where the stupid woman was, she walked to the chef and bowed slightly.
The chef's mouth was left hanging open as he watched her bow slightly before collecting the snacks and leaving.
She was the nicest royal he had ever met.
"You'll pay for this Lisa!." Audrey spoke through her teeth as Lisa passed her and stopped.
"Make me, slub face." She giggled and left the kitchen without sparing Audrey another single glance.
***
The maid that had brought her to the kitchen now escorted Lisa back.
The young maids eyes shone in admiration as she stared at the calm back of Lisa who gracefully walked ahead.
The woman who had bad mouthed Lisa was someone she knew too well. On many occasions, that woman had belittled anyone that stood in her way. She herself was even a victim.
She didn't think she could ever forget that day.
It was rather exciting to watch Lisa shut the woman up like it was nothing.
She knew that what Audrey said was indeed true in a way. His Highness had bedded that many women because it was a common knowledge that demons couldn't do without two things and that was sex and blood.
In her opinion, she didn't see his Highness in the wrong.
The lady in front of her stopped and spun to face her which took her by surprise.
"Thank you very much, I'll make sure to repay the favour in the future."
The maid at first was confused as to why she was dismissing her when they weren't yet at her room but didn't ponder on it much.
"You are welcome milady." Saying that, she left the lady alone.
Seeing that the maid had gone, worry marred on her face as she leaned on the wall for support, gnashing her teeth against each other.
'Not this again!'
She felt the prickling pain in her head as her vision became blurry for a second. The plate of snacks she held fell from her hand and the snacks scattered on the floor.
She held her head tightly, trying her best not to pull out her hair as her body swayed and she tried to balance the dizziness that was overcoming her.
Her eyes searched through the hall, for anyone that could save her but no one was there.
'Why did this keep on happening to her?.'
Finally spotting someone who stood at the end of the hall, she tried to call out but her voice couldn't come out of her throat.
It was a young boy who was in his late teens with intelligent golden eyes and grey hair that was tied in a ponytail.
"Grey?" She breathed.
Her eyelids became heavy, dropping slowly before her body fell slack backwards. The golden eyed boy rushed over to her with inhuman speed and caught her before she could hit the floor.
He carried her in his arms and immediately felt a hot pain that burned him from her body. His hand Made a sizzling sound as smoke evaporated from his hand.
"Lisa?" He called out softly but got no response. He had no other choice but to take her to the only adult he trusted in the castle.
Leaving there, he teleported to Theodore's room and opened the door without bothering to knock.
What greeted him was a sight of shirtless Theodore who pinned a black haired woman to the wall.
Theodore immediately sensing his presence, pushed himself off the woman to give him a hard stare. While the lady looked away in embarrassment.
"What are you doing in your human form grey?" Theodore's questioning face stared at him.
He had always teased his brother for having a butler appearance and a calm face despite being the complete opposite of what he looked like. Though they were brothers, they were not from the same race.
Theodore was a demon with rear grey eyes while grey was a half demon, half shapeshifter. He could shift into any animal yet he preferred wolfs.
Theodore sighted Lisa in the arms of grey and grey who was sweating profusely.
"We need to take her to her room first." Theodore ordered and they all nodded and left with Carmillia who followed theo for the first time.
She was actually worried about Lisa and why she was unconscious.
When they arrived at Lisa's room, grey gently placed her on the bed and they noticed his hands that were burnt.
Carmillia, being curious tried to touch Lisa but when she did, she pulled her hand back almost immediately and hissed in pain.
Theodore seeing this, took her hand and bent, his coarse tongue licking the burn.
"W-what are you doing?" She stuttered, half embarrassed and angry.
Theo didn't listen to her and instead continued, when he was done, she noticed that the burn had completely disappeared and she muttered"Thank you."
"Shouldn't we call lucas?" Grey spoke, his voice full of concern making Carmillia wonder if it was actually that wolf.
"We don't have to call him, he'll be here any minute."
