Evan noticed how he was staring at the bird. The air around them went heavier and suddenly she felt fear crawling in her heart. The man was only staring yet she could feel goosebumps on her skin. The bird flew away suddenly and Damien blinked. When he looked at her again, his eyes were perfectly normal.
"You should pay more attention to healing, my lady. I heard from the maids that you liked the food here." Evan nodded trying to ignore the intimidation she had felt.
This man was the cursed Duke. One who had joined hands with the devil. Yet… he was the only one who helped her, saved her.
