Kael's father, the king, stood in the grand throne room, a warm smile on his face. "Kael, my son, I have someone I'd like you to meet."
Kael's expression was neutral, his eyes fixed on some point beyond his father's shoulder. He didn't respond, didn't even acknowledge his father's words.
The king's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "This is Maria, your childhood betrothed."
Maria's eyes widened in shock as she took in Kael's appearance. She had met him before, fought with him even, but she had never seen him like this. His eyes seemed colder, his face more chiseled.
"Kael?" she whispered, her voice trembling with surprise.
Kael's gaze flickered to Maria, and for a moment, their eyes met. But Kael's face was void of emotions, his eyes cold and unyielding.
Maria's eyes narrowed, a flicker of confusion crossing her face. What had happened to the Kael she had met before? The one who had fought her with such passion and intensity?
The king's smile grew wider, oblivious to the tension in the room. "Maria, as you know, has been living outside the palace walls. But now that she's returned, I think it's time for you two to get reacquainted."
Kael didn't respond, didn't even nod. He just stood there, his eyes fixed on Maria, but his face expressionless.
Maria's eyes flashed with annoyance, but she quickly masked it with a smile. "It's lovely to meet you again, Kael," she said, her voice dripping with sweetness.
Kael's eyes seemed to bore into Maria's soul, but his face remained expressionless. He didn't respond, didn't even acknowledge her words.
Maria's eyes narrowed, her face growing red with anger. What was wrong with Kael? Why was he acting like this?
As the silence between them grew, Maria's anger seemed to dissipate, replaced by a growing sense of unease. There was something about Kael that unnerved her, something that made her skin crawl.
And as she stood there, facing Kael's expressionless face, Maria realized that she was in grave danger. Kael was not what he seemed, and she had a feeling that she was just starting to scratch the surface of
Kael's voice was low and menacing, sending shivers down Maria's spine. "Maria," he said, his eyes glinting with a cold, hard light.
Maria's heart skipped a beat as Kael spoke, his voice dripping with malice. "Y-yes?" she stuttered, trying to keep her composure.
Kael's gaze seemed to bore into Maria's soul, his eyes burning with an inner fire. "Whatever you do, Maria," he said, his voice dripping with venom, "make sure to never cross paths with me again."
Maria's eyes widened in fear, her heart pounding in her chest. "W-why?" she stuttered, trying to keep her voice steady.
Kael's smile was cold and calculating, his eyes glinting with a deadly light. "Because next time, Maria," he said, his voice dripping with malice, "I won't spare you. I'll kill you, and I'll enjoy every moment of it."
Maria's face went pale, her eyes wide with fear. She knew that Kael wasn't joking, that he would do exactly as he said. She had seen the darkness in his eyes, the evil that lurked within him.
The king's smile faltered, his eyes narrowing in concern. "Kael, my son," he said, trying to intervene.
But Kael's gaze never wavered, his eyes fixed on Maria with an unnerving intensity. "Remember, Maria," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You have been warned."
And with that, Kael turned and walked away, leaving Maria shaken and trembling with fear. The king's eyes followed his son, a mixture of concern and fear etched on his face.
Maria's eyes never left Kael's back, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that she had to be careful, that she had to avoid Kael at all costs. Because if she didn't, she knew that the consequences will be a grave one .
As Kael entered his room, he could feel the dark energy and power growing more and more intense within him. He needed to find a way to relieve himself, to calm the storm brewing inside.
He looked around, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on one of the female maids, who was busy tidying up the space. Kael's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on the maid with an unnerving intensity.
The maid, sensing Kael's gaze, turned to face him. Her eyes widened in fear as she took in Kael's expression, his eyes burning with a dark, inner fire.
But Kael didn't seem to notice her fear. He just kept staring at her, his eyes fixed on her with an unnerving intensity. He motioned for the maid to move forward which she did and he said with a cold domineering voice " the rest of you leave this rook with immediate effect and you stay" the other maids leave immediately leaving only the girl with him .
Strip kael said and the maid did strip with immediate effect she dares not rebuke for she knew the consequences "in anything you do make sure your hands do not touch me even if you are at the verge of death you hear me " said Kael while the maid nodded
He then proceed to remove his pants while his erected member was already waiting he thrusts into the maid without warning while she screams in absolute horror.
Meanwhile, Maria was exploring the palace, trying to get a feel for the layout. She had always been curious, and she loved discovering new places.
As she turned a corner, she stumbled upon a door that she hadn't noticed before. She pushed it open, finding herself outside Kael's room.
Maria's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the scene before her. The maid was lying on the bed screaming while kael thrust in her aggressive without waiting till the maid went unconscious, while Kael stood over her, his eyes still burning with that dark, inner fire.
For a moment, Maria just stood there, frozen in shock. And then, something strange happened. She felt a pang of jealousy, a desire to be the one who had caught Kael's attention.
As she stood there, Maria made a vow to herself. She would make Kael hers, no matter what it took. She would stop at nothing to claim him, to make him hers alone.
And with that, Maria's fate was sealed. She had set her sights on Kael, and she would not rest until she had claimed him.
