The Knights

(Demon's Destruction) 40

"Your Highness, there are the files you're asking for." I quickly took from Alicia's hand the papers I needed.

I opened them one by one to see if these were what I had asked for.

"Is that all?" My cold question.

She bowed her head as she nodded.

"Now leave." I gestured to her to leave my room, so that's what she did.

I immediately opened the papers he gave me.

These are the documents inside my father's office. I really need Alicia's help because she is the only one who can freely enter my father's office.

I touched my lower lip in astonishment when I saw the name of a tall man in Korea.

My father set up an appointment with this woman?

Julie Ortega.

I knew her for so long because like us, she also has a Filipino race. And she's one of those women I wanted to kill.

I immediately called Alicia's number saved on my phone.

"Your High--"

"Gather all my men to get this Julie. I wish she was inside my place in just a few minutes."

I had no reaction to drop the call even though he hadn't answered yet. She's smart enough to understand what I said.

I adjusted myself for a while and put on the clothes I always wore when killing pests.

Now I'm using it again, and it's fun.

When I got dressed, I also took the katana from the cabinet and inserted it behind me.

I received a text from Alicia saying that the woman was already in the hands of my staff.

I hurried out of the room but was also immediately shocked to see Froze waiting outside.

"Where the hell are you going, Arrow?" he asked coldly.

I wanted to scold and shout at him but I knew he would report me to my grandfather, so I just held back.

"I'll do some work, so shut up," I responded.

I was about to pass him when he quickly grabbed my arm. I was devastated to see his threatening eyes.

"What are you up to, baby?" His voice lingered inside my mind.

"A-What! You don't know what I'm going to do!" pissed, I answered.

He just smirked like he's teasing me. "You'll do some work? I know you too well, my angel."

I swallowed hard when he said that. Did he know someone was going to kill me?

"And what's wrong with that, Froze? I've been doing this job even when you weren't in my life, so don't control me like we have," I said bitterly before releasing him.

I thought he would be shaken by what I said, but he still followed me on foot.

Even with a few helpers around he grabbed my arm to lean me against the wall.

I flinched a little when he began caressing my cheeks.

"My little angel, what happened to that sweet and innocent Arrow?" he teased.

How I wanted to kick his balls this instant. But I can't do that for a good reason.

"If you want to come, come along. After all, you'll be watching my every move, come along!" pissed, I answered.

He grinned playfully. "As you wish, baby."

I quickly turned away when I felt the warmth of both my cheeks.

I secretly slapped the chest.

You stupid heart. You're not supposed to act like that.

Until I left, he followed me. Even inside my own car!

"I'll drive, and you, get out," he coldly and boldly commanded my driver.

The driver didn't seem to understand what he was saying.

This man is really stupid, can't he see that this place is Korea?

I talked to the driver in Korean so he can understand what Froze's trying to say.

He immediately got out of the car and let Froze be my driver. I didn't moan anymore because he was the one to follow in everything.

"Where to, baby?" he asked.

I was stunned to feel my heart beating so fast. This Arrow Perez is really fragile. Why do I feel the same way he feels?

"Just follow this way," I pointed to the cellphone with a flashed direction to my favorite place.

He didn't speak anymore, so I kept quiet.

A few minutes ago I suddenly felt the touch of his palm on my palm.

My eyes widened as I looked at him but he was only serious about driving with one hand.

He held my hand tightly so whatever I did didn't matter.

He's so strong!

I really don't like anyone who is superior to me, but I can't deny that this man is really strong.

We arrived at our destination within a few minutes. He runs so fast.

He even helped me get out of the car so I didn't just look at him.

Why are you blushing Arrow Blood? Get a hold on yourself!

"Who is the lucky person this time?" he asked.

I smiled broadly. "Someone close to my dad."

His mouth tightened and he suddenly pulled me closer. I was about to punch him when he suddenly kissed me quickly.

"Next time, don't smile like you're excited to meet that person. I'm the only one you can smile like that, Arrow. It's just me. Do you understand?" his bold threat caused me to nod.

I don't know what he just did but he made me obey right away.

I am, really, indeed under Arrow Perez's spell.

I followed him into the abandoned warehouse I had bought for it to punish the people who were attempting on me, and attempting on my brother.

I immediately smiled when I saw that woman tied to the chair. Other parts of his body were bleeding because of the tightness.

I approached him with a smile, which made him even more confused.

I saw the fear in her eyes but I just ignored it. I like how people fear me, especially if those people tortured my brother.

"Hey, Julie," I smiled, greeting her.

She immediately shook her head like she wanted to escape. But I am not a stupid person to let her free.

"Come on, Julie. Just tell me what my dad told you, and I'll set you free," I said.

But he didn't seem to be shaken because he just shook his head while crying.

And since I had so little patience, I immediately pushed the table closer to him.

"Just pick between one and two, I'll use it for you," I said smiling.

Her crying got louder and louder, which made me even angrier.

I grabbed his jaw tightly to silence him.

"I said pick!" I shouted angrily.

"T-Two," he stammered.

I quickly walked away from him to remove the cover of his choice.

I was kind of disappointed when I saw a gun.

Too easy.

I aimed the gun at her forehead so the crying and her loss got worse.

"Shut up you cunning witch! You've killed many people because of your greed. And now you'll experience what death tastes like."

I don't know why my hand seems to be paralyzed.

I can't pull the trigger like someone's stopping me.

Fuck, no.

I can easily kill a person within 1 second. But why am I struggling now?

Almost all of my body hair grew when suddenly someone hugged me from behind.

He also held my hands as if supporting me.

"Come on, baby. Shoot." His cold voice sent thousands of shivers inside my body.

His voice was very deep.

But that is what motivated me to be courageous.

I pulled the trigger that fast because of his help.

I gasped as I looked at the lifeless body of the woman in front of me.

What's wrong? Why can't I kill anymore?
