Chapter 18: Prove myself
Slowly he reassured me that he was definitely in a position to kill the Count, Listening to him, I felt that this man is a person of high position because if he was not, he wouldn't have talked so carelessly about killing a count and he also assured me that he would not touch me without my permission. So I thought it was best to say yes to what he said because no matter how much I tried, I could not leave that place without any consequences after killing the Count. All the other people would try to tie me there.
But before I agree to his deal, I had to see his face. I had to see who this person was, and this person showed me his face. Just by looking at his face, I knew that I had seen this person somewhere.
I told the same thing to him but he took my words in a different sense and said that I didn't need to say these cheesy lines to him because he was already mine.
After listening to him, I felt a tickling feeling inside me. But decided not pay much attention to his words and started looking at the papers. After reading them thoroughly, I signed those papers. In a short while, a golden light bound both of us and disappeared.
The light was so bright that as soon as I saw it I understood that whichever magician has done prepared these papers, he has a lot of power and this man who has a connection with that person, cannot be ordinary, he is very special.
After knowing this I asked him a question that what would he have done if I had not listened to him? He listened to me and did not make any fuss and simply replied that he would have revealed my secret to everyone.
I was surprised by one again after listening to him asked him
"Now that I am on your side, you could have just buttered me up there was no need to tell the truth."
And he replied to my words saying this, I was with him didn't mean he can lie to me and on the contrary, it becomes very important that he does not lie to me at all.
I didn't tell him, but I liked this thing about him very much. Or to be frank, this was the second thing about him that I liked very much. First time was when he said that he will never do anything wrong to me and secondly that he will never lie to me.
He later showed me a small pouch, which he had seeds of a dangerous plant. At first she was very surprised to see it. He made me understand its importance.
After listening to everything he said carefully, I asked him how he knew so much about this?
In response he pulled me towards him, One of his hands was on my waist and the other on my wrist, he held me tightly
When he pulled me towards him, my breathing almost stopped.
All this time no man had come so close to me so it took me time to adjust and I quickly asked him why he was doing this to me even though he had promised me.
After listening to me he smiled and said, he have never done anything like that and after hearing that I also thought about it and then I realised that he really did not say anything like that.
And when he said that he would keep trying to come close to me, somewhere deep inside me I felt happy.
I am happy that if this person ever falls in love with me, So I can use him. If he remains under my control then I will have the assurance that he will never leave me and will not hurt me.
But in his next words turned my whole world upside down,
He told me that he doesn't like anyone being with me and he directly pointed towards Casin and said that he doesn't like him to be seen around me. I was surprised for a moment. How did this man understand so quickly that he loves me? I knew for so long that Casin loved me. But I did not respond to him so that he becomes desperate and ready to do anything for me. If whatever was going on had gone smoothly, I would have got my husband killed by him and everything would have ended. But when this person talked to me about Casin I realized that it was not in my power to deceive this person and if I tried to deceive him then this person would not even think twice before putting me in danger. I had decided that I would never betray him, and nothing can ever happen between Casin and me now because I was sure that this man would kill my husband.
After that I assured him that I would never betray him and would always keep his trust and I left from there.
One thing was for sure I had to prove myself useful to him otherwise he might as well throw me away in the future. So first let's start with the trading company.
