Chapter 10: Unraveling Emotions
Niel reappeared where he had vanished, his gaze scanning the room.
He spotted Alawis dancing with a demon.
Initially, he felt nothing.
But then, unease crept in.
Anger simmered beneath his surface.
"Why is he dancing with my secretary? Who gave him permission?"
Niel stood still, his internal turmoil raging.
He was a Dark Star Demon, immune to emotions.
Yet, anger coursed through his veins.
He fixed his piercing gaze on the demon.
Dark smoke wafted from his body, unconscious and menacing.
"Walk away, or else..." he warned, his voice echoing in the demon's mind.
The demon's eyes widened as he turned to face Niel.
Fear drove him to bow three times in succession.
"I apologize; I didn't know you were close to Lord Niel."
The demon vanished, sensing danger.
Alawis was shocked.
The room fell silent.
Demons retreated, sensing Niel's dark energy.
Niel turned away, dismissing the demon.
His gaze locked onto Alawis.
"Why am I this angry?" he muttered.
He was lost in thought.
The demon had already fled.
he took her hand and they vanish,
few kilometres they reappeared.
Alawis approached him, concern etched on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Niel's eyes blazed like molten silver.
"I can't vanish with this rage... What did you do?"
His hair was disheveled.
Alawis's tears fell.
"I'm sorry; I don't know..." she stuttered.
Niel's face contorted.
He fell to his knees, sweating.
"No, no, not yet... not now."
His voice cracked.
"Please don't hurt them... don't kill... please."
Alawis wrapped her arms around him.
A calming rhythm soothed his back.
"Niel, it's over; it already happened."
He repeated her words.
"It's over... it's over."
His eyes faded.
He fainted.
Before losing consciousness, he summoned Valtira.
Valtira appeared, worry etched on her face.
"What happened?"
Alawis trembled.
"I don't know... please help him."
Valtira cradled Niel.
She grasped Alawis's hand.
They vanished.
