NovelEnglishChapter 435
Anne could feel the tension on his face and it only alerted her further. She took a step back when she felt the girl tilt her head and pass her a creepy smile.
But before she could do anything Declan stood in front of her guarding her while staring deeply into the eyes of the woman warning her.
“Oh my, look at the protection? You are behaving like I am a bad guy here that would hurt the lady.” she laughed as she shook her head, “i will see you later when you have time to continue the matter. Till then..” she winked and smirked as she left from there.
“Who was she?” asked Anne as she stared at Declan who was still staring at the space where the woman left.
“A bad warning.” he closed his eyes. His body was still so tense like a statue when she stared at him to say further but he did not.
He just took a deep breath and slowly his body started to relax again.
“Then..” Why did she even return and why did she want to know who she was! It had nothing to do with her.

She frowned and looked at his hands that were holding her preciously.
“Do not go!” he whispered. But this time his words had a certain urgency that she was not able to ignore.
“I.. she.. She had seen you with me. I request you to not leave my eyes for a few days before I know what she was upto.” he requested when she felt anger bursting into her chest.
She did not know why but she felt offended by his words instead of feeling the care he was showing.
“Ha! Do you think that I am a weak person?” Just because I am not burning you into crispness does not mean that I could not. She glared at him for taking him vulnerable when he shook his head.
“Eve.. she had immense powers. She is one of the strongest. She is the one who was going to take the position of master which is offered to hazel now. So, she is mad. And if she knows that you are Hazel’s sister, she is not going to let you go. Please.. Anne, if you want to be angry with me, then be. But stay around me for a few days.” he pleaded again.
She was not sure what he was talking about but she could feel his desperation and the desire to keep her safe when she sighed.
“Declan, I did not know what was happening. But I am not weak and I did not want to be around you. If you think that playing such tricks and making me feel secure will help you in gaining my love again, then you are wrong. I do not love you anymore.” her voice was cold.
He would have felt hurt at her words if it would have been any other time but he was so occupied with fear that he did not want to argue over it, right now.
“Even if that is the case, I want you to stay around me. If you accept just a single wish, I give you my word that I will leave and would never interfere in your life again once Eve is gone.” the eyes of Anne cracked.
She had felt how determined he was in taking her back, but now he was ready to let go of her easily just because of that woman?
“I will not disturb your work. Just treat me as a knight or a guard or nonexistent wall.” he added when she stayed silent and she closed her eyes.
She already knew that she was going to regret her decision as she slowly nodded her head.
Declan let her hands go as he nodded back.
“I promise that I will solve the matter as early as possible.” he promised when she opened her eyes and looked back into his eyes.

“Then.. What now?” she asked as she sat back on the chair where Eve was standing just a few minutes ago.
She had not felt any energy coming out of that woman but looking at the worried and tensed face of Declan, she was sure that matter was not easy.
“Why do I not feel any mana or power from you and that woman?” she asked with a raised brow when Declan chuckled.
“We are not human! We can live without even beating our hearts or eating and drinking. We do not need to sleep or do other things that humans do. This body.. It is not a vassal of our soul.” he pinched his skin and then laughed.
“We only do this because we enjoy it. We eny how humans enjoy so many varieties of food, alcohol and other leisure activities so when we get a chance to come here, we follow the norms and enjoy this kind of life too but..” that does not mean that they need it.
“So.. since your body is not real it did not emit your powers?” she asked with a tilt of her head, still not sure how it would work when he shook his head.
“No we do! But only demons could feel it. Living beings could not until we want them to.” she nodded her head slowly still confused about the matter.
“You do not need to worry about it. I have the permission of my master to stay here. Even if she wants, she could neve rebel against our master.” he said with assurance when she nodded again.
“But.. she may use the manipulation magic on other witches or vampires to hurt you. We just have to make sure that she will do it so that I can catch her red handed and complain about her to the master.”
