"why?"

Denisa asks Zanuel, who is staring at her frustrated, annoyed, and angry. The whole room was filled with the cold breeze.

Zanuel looks at Robert who is confused about his behavior, in the past, he never got himself involved with any woman and now he can't let the girl go. Why?

"I said no!" he says and walks out of the room and the door locked behind him.

Denisa rushed to the door and tried opening the door but she couldn't open it, she bangs the door but no one heard. She gets back and sits on the bed worrying about Olivia and the servants who will probably be killed if she doesn't show up before the wedding, this is why she never objected to the marriage she never wanted.

"open the door you red-eyed monster!" she screams from behind the door, Zanuel stood by the door listening to her.

Robert came out of the locked room without opening the door as if they was no door "my lord" he says waiting for his order.

Zanuel was not ready to let her go "why does she want to go"

Robert looks at him trying to understand what exactly was happening but didn't dare asks him a thing "my lord I heard her thoughts, she's worried about Olivia, if she doesn't show up then the woman will be killed along with all her servants"

How will the soul-eating monster understand her?

Zanuel listens to him and leaves without giving an order. He returned to the garden and it looks the same as he left, except there were more flowers now.

Robert sees Zanuel from afar as he walked into the garden. No one would believe he was in a coffin for over a millennium looking at him. 'Demons don't die, especially the older demons who were around from the start'

Zanuel vanishes in thin air, Robert looks around but he didn't catch him leaving.

"what are you doing?"

Zanuel came running to Denisa? He looks at her who was trying to stop the bleeding from her palms.

"It's hurting," she says tears falling down her eyes, he gets closer to her and held her palms, and looks at her in her eyes.

"I will not let you go," he says firmly holding her palm and covering it with his palms.

"you wanted to come out and you did, what more do you want from me?" she asks, thinking about the people who will bare the consequences if she doesn't go back.

"I did not call you,"

Zanuel was sure as he felt nothing while he was asleep in the coffin, the only thing he heard was the cry for help of a baby; and after a few years, he stopped hearing that too.

"then who?"

The question stays the same. Who?

Zanuel loosens the grip on her palm and her palm is healed. No scar, no bleeding. Denisa looked at him questioning who is he.?

"don't hurt yourself"

Zanuel left the room and Robert was standing by the room a little worried and nervous.

"what happened Robert?"

"My lord, the demons, they're coming"

Zanuel didn't look shocked or worried, he walked passed him. "let them come" he is ready for anything. He is stronger as always and can take any number of demons.

"My lord"

"what is it Robert?"

"we can't let the lady be here"

Yes that's true, he can't let the demons see her, she is the person who let Zanuel out and her identity is unclear and mostly he is still confused about her as to what she is doing him. He agrees to let her go, not her chambers though, "take her to my palace"

Robert got his first order after a millennium and he can't be happy enough and rushes to take Denisa to the palace.

"my lady"

Denisa looks around but no one was around her, she scans the room again and still found no one "my lady" the voice was loud and clear, loud enough to make her heart stop as she couldn't see the owner of the voice.

"Who are you, show yourself," she asks looking around the room, with her trembling voice and her eyes growing wide in fear.

The room was filled with an unfamiliar strong smell the moment he showed himself "my lady, I'm Robert," he says as if it was nothing.

Denisa looks at him a muscular man stood in front of her, wearing armor? 'an armor' as if he is about to go to war, his eyes weren't red but blue like ocean water and his gaze was warm as he looked at her, she was trying to understand what was happening "what do you want?"

"Lord ordered to take you to the palace"

"Lord?"

"the red-eyed monster"

"oh, you serve him?"

"yes my lady"

"why the palace, and whose palace?"

"his palace"

"is he a king?"

Robert smiles at her but didn't say a word, he is understanding why his lord is not ready to let her go.

"I'm not allowed to tell you the details"

"oh"

"if you allow my lady"

Robert offered his hand to Denisa to hold on "huh?" she looks at him narrowing her eyes not knowing what he meant by offering his hand.

"Trust me, my lady," he says and she holds his muscular arm and they were in the palace in a second.

Denisa's eyes shut open as she looks at the hall of the palace, and how they just vanish from the wooden hut to the extremely extravagant palace where everything is made of gold, the walls, the pillars. "yes my lady the benches and chairs too" Robert says as he can hear her thoughts.

She looks at him puzzled "I hear thoughts my lady" he says and Denisa didn't say a word and looks around and everything looked exquisite while roaming around the hall she hears footsteps of people running and she quickly runs back to Robert and hides behind him. "they're the servants, my lady, they are running here as we are already here and they will be taking care of you"

The maids came running and stood in front of them "they're humans?" she asks from behind a little too loud and everyone looks at him in question.

Robert smiles "yes," says in a low voice almost whispering to her.

"Okay, okay, they won't kill me right?"

"no they won't, my lady you can rest here, I have to go back to lord"

Robert looks at the head maid and leaves Denisa in their care, she was left with the maids and servants who didn't dare lift their heads and see her.

Denisa walks around the palace and saw the palace covered with flowers, it didn't matter where she went the maids followed her as her shadow.

"I heard we have a guest where is she? Take me to her"

The palace wasn't soundproofed, the voice was clear and heard even in the hallway, Denisa looks at the maids "who is that?"

"my lady she is- "

"she is?"

The maids look at each other nervously not knowing what to say, "she, she is-"

"There she is, you all can leave!"

The maids stood there without leaving Denisa alone as Robert ordered them to do. "I said LEAVE" Caroline screamed and everyone left Denisa alone with her.

"you're a demon"

Caroline looks at Denisa, who didn't seem scared, her nails growing immensely as she walked closer to her, her smell was intoxicating making her lose her sense of judgment and forget whose guest she was. "yeah, and right now I want you"

Denisa didn't understand what she said and had no idea what was happening, before she grasps the situation Caroline's fangs were already on her neck sucking the blood out of her body.
