Caroline was on her way back when she saw Zanuel walking to his room, she followed him, she shouldn't have. 

Zanuel was kissing Denisa when he saw her crying and Caroline stood by the window and saw them kissing, the guards saw her by the window but didn't dare go closer to her as they are mortals.

Caroline witnessed something she never wanted to see in her life as if it was a dead end. She just walked out of the palace.

"Caroline"

Margaret called her holding soup for her but she didn't reply and kept walking and vanished in a second. 

'change your bandages regularly'

"What happened?"

Robert walked from behind and saw Margaret holding the soup in the tray.

"Nothing"

She left but her thoughts, Robert heard them clearly and follows Caroline into the woods where she always goes hunting.

'he likes me? no there's no way!'

Denisa was worried about her first kiss, falling in love with him, this won't end well, Aurous and King Alexander will surely kill her and the people who served her even if they know about Zanuel.

"I can't stay here any longer"

She is firm but has no idea how, it isn't easy to run from the palace let alone the demon palace where she is being watched as if she is some treasure.

"my lady"

Margaret knocked on the door, entered the room and saw Denisa, her face covered with the word 'worried' all over her.

"what happened my lady?" she asks placing the teapot on the table

"Margaret, can you help me with one thing?"

"what is it, my lady?"

"help me leave the palace"

"That's something even Robert can't help you, without Lord's permission, my lady"

Denisa was fed up with their loyalty towards Zanuel "you and your loyalty towards your lord, don't you guys feel being a rebel at least once?"

Margaret leaves a small chuckle listening to her talk, she talks as if she has many lives on her account. "my lady, once loyal always loyal, to the end. "

"end? wasn't Zanuel dead for a long time? what did you do then?"

"long time? my lady Lord was sleeping in the coffin for over a millennium"

"A MILLENNIUM? WHY WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THAT?"

Denisa was taken aback by the sudden truth of Zanuel, she wasn't expecting him to be locked in the coffin for a millennium, if she hadn't mustered the courage and walked into the dungeon how many more years would he have been locked?

"my lady you know nothing about Lord?"

"I know nothing about him, I was forced to the dungeon where he was sleeping in my dreams and that's it"

 "you were forced?"

"yes Margaret I was forced, your Lord called me daily to his dungeon to free him from the coffin"

"no my lady, that's not possible! Lord had no power in the coffin not just his body but his powers were also sealed and he didn't even know where he was locked" Margaret was sure as her mother was the one who told her all about it.

"then who was calling me to the dungeon?"

"..."

"my lady drink some tea before you go to bed, it will soothe your nerves and help you sleep early"

Denisa looked at Margaret who was leaving the room. "Margaret"

Margaret turns back and sees Denisa "yes, my lady"

"why was he locked in the coffin?"

"you sure you want to know?"

"yes, tell me"

"my lady, you have to promise me you won't judge him over it"

"just tell me"

Margaret looks at the desperate look in Denisa's eyes which reminded her of her younger self asking her mother about Zanuel "he killed demons and mortals. He is the Soul eater, and for that he was locked, he killed the whole village, taking all of their souls including the demons" 

Denisa didn't say a word but listened to her talk, yes she heard it correctly he's the soul eater.

"but why?"

"I don't know, but I am sure he had his reasons for that"

"the whole village! no reason can justify that"

"I asked you not to judge him..."

"..."

"leave Margaret, I wanna rest"

Margaret takes the steps towards the door looking at Denisa who was in dilemma, 'how can a person who looks like an angel be a ruthless demon and kill people for their souls to get stronger?.

'one is the ruthless human and the other one is the ruthless demon, why is my life filled with ruthless people'

"you want to leave?"

Denisa turns to the windows to the voice and Caroline was standing, staring at her.

"what do you want Caroline?"

"I just want to help you for saving my life"

"I doubt that"

"I don't want to be in debt with you, call me whenever you think you are ready"

"call you, how?"

"just call my name"

"and you'll just show up?"

"try it only when you are ready"

Caroline left and Denisa was alone in the room, she drank the tea Margaret bought her and falls asleep in no time.

Zanuel walked into the room, but no one saw him walking, the guards were on alert but they didn't see him, Denisa was sleeping soundly when Zanuel walked to her but soon she starts screaming. 

"No! No! No!"

"Denisa! wake up it's just a dream! open your eyes" Zanuel shook her to wake her up from the nightmare, Denisa looks up at him and pushed him away.

"don't touch me, leave"

"huh-"

"Leave! Just leave! I said leave!" Denisa throws pillows at him asking him to leave.

Zanuel said nothing and leaves the room and guards look at him their eyes wide open thinking about how did he entered the room and why they could not see him.

Denisa pulled her legs closer to her chest and cried the whole night.

The night went by and the sun rose as if nothing happened and the maids started to prepare breakfast.

"Margaret"

Zanuel walked to the kitchen and every maid was busy watching him as their fantasy and desires arose just by seeing him.

"yes my lord"

"just check up on Denisa, she still has nightmares"

"yes, I will go check up on her right away"

Margaret walks up to Denisa's room and the guards open the room doors for her, she walked into the room, but Denisa was not in the room.

"guards!"

"yes lady"

"where is the lady??"

"she didn't come out, we did not see her walking out of the door"

"what do you mean? Did she just vanish?" she asks pointing at the empty room.

"we are telling the truth she didn't walk out of the door"

Zanuel stood by the door hearing everything, he has no idea where she is or where she could have gone. Margaret ordered everyone to search for Denisa who was long gone. No one knows what happened at night that made her leave, or was she forced to go?

Forced? that's not possible in this palace.
