Nikolai was astounded by her words. His ruby eyes widened and focused on the sun goddess as she gave him a long, slow look.

She was much more stunning because of the sun’s sparkling brilliance and he couldn’t help but notice a loving twinkle in her golden eyes as she sighed and averted her gaze. His fingers began to tremble with the want to touch her face.

“It is.” In response, Nikolai stood up. “I don’t know why you want me to stay, but you need to know that there are no ties between us. You are a stranger to me and I am a bystander.”

Ophelia pressed her lips. He could have/simply said, “I don’t care,” instead of making such a lengthy remark.

“Oh. A stranger? I thought we are already making progress.” Ophelia couldn’t believe herself. She stood up and pushed herself out of the chair.

Nikolai raised a brow. “Progress?”

“Forget about my words.” She mumbled before turning away.

“Since you infused those words with such deep feelings, I really can’t forget them.” She came to a stop as Nikolai abruptly spoke.

Ophelia put her hand on her chest and took a big breath. “Set it aside.” She spoke with greater sternness.

Nikolai arched his eyebrow. “Why?”

She scowled as she turned to face him. “Because you won’t be staying! You

Nikolai remained silent. She used a constructive form of antagonism in those statements, which made him smile. “You seem jealous.”

“That’s because I am.” Ophelia complained, her cheeks turned blazing crimson. “I sincerely don’t want you to leave.”

Surprised, Nikolai arched his brows. She wasn’t keeping her thoughts to herself and was being serious.

Why do you have such straightforward questions for me?”

“Give me a straightforward response if you believe that to be so.”

“Getting close to you will weaken the order. You can just interpret my

behavior and words toward you as admiration”

She had Nikolai in awe, and he grinned. However, the term “Admiration” was what made him chuckle because it kept going through his thoughts.

Ophelia held her breath, her chest swelling. One single move towards him and their lips would undoubtedly meet. “Yes.” She breathed out and took a long step back.

Nikolai smirked.

Ophelia breathed out loud. “You will definitely lose your cover if you beat or maim my betrothed. Fortunately, it’s unavoidable because I can’t keep you hidden forever as you have the only distinct and menacing sense in the

Nikolai didn’t stop her even though it wasn’t necessary because he knew she would reject it nonetheless.

While he was getting ready, Ophelia stood in her garden, watering her beloved golden sun roses by herself.

Her thoughts kept returning to Nikolai, and she wondered how he had so unexpectedly entered her life, only to leave her with addictive, foreign sentiments.

Unbeknownst to her, her affection for one of the most notorious evils in existence would lead her to a tragic early death. But does she really care?

“Should I care?” She sighed and set the watering can down before stepping back into the castle while running her fingers through her hair.

Suddenly, many of her servants gathered her, looking surprised and delighted. She gave them a startled look. “What’s happening?”

“You divinity, the blood moon god is so alluring!”
