Hellbound With You novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595 Settled*

Zeres shook his head. His long silver lashes half lowering over his eyes. "You know I can never –"

"Then, just spill out the truth. I’ll let you go regardless of the implication and deal with the witches’ questions and doubts."

When he shook his head again, Alicia lifted her swords and pointed them towards him. Her silver hair was lifting in the slight breeze around her. "It’s settled then. You can now leave, but get past me by force first." Alicia didn’t make it sound as if he had a choice, and Zeres knew how serious she was.

The look in her eyes showed him a steely decision that no word could change. But Zeres had to leave. He knew that Zeke was leaving that night, and he also thought that this was his only opportunity to leave. If he delays, Alicia would never stop trying to know the truth. Knowing how stubborn and willful this queen was, she would definitely do everything and anything to find what he was hiding from her. He would never let that happen. He must not stay in this forest any longer. He must leave as soon as possible.

With a pained look, Zeres uttered a silent apology as he finally advanced towards her. He didn’t unsheathe his sword. He didn’t even hold the hilt. He simply approached her bare-handed.

Alicia waited, faltering a little because she knew the man didn’t have any plan to fight her. When he reached her, he grabbed Alicia’s blade with his bare hands. His blood began to drip on the ground.

"Let me through, Alicia." He urged, and Alicia gritted her teeth. She kicked him in the stomach, hard enough for him to be thrown away a few steps from her.

She kept her face composed and steely as she looked down at him. "Don’t play with me, Zeres. Just so you know... I am not as soft-hearted as you. I could be cold as the devil, too, if someone is not taking me seriously."

Zeres rose from the ground. Unexpectedly, a genuine smile was playing on his face. "That was a hard kick, Queen." He innocently held his stomach like he was a hungry white puppy, causing Alicia’s stern gaze to almost crack. Damn. Was he really going to use such a dirty trick for her to let her guard down?! You’re a low-key little devil, Zeres... but I won’t fall for it.

"C’mon. Don’t waste our time and be serious because if you don’t, I’m telling you I can stand here and kick you all night."

He ignored her words and approached her once again, still not pulling out his sword. Alicia didn’t let him touch her blade this time and simply kicked him back before he could grab her sword. Still, he did the same thing the third time and then the seventh time.
