Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 - 67

Heaven blinked a few times. What was he talking about? She looked at Ilyas standing with her men in the hall. He could probably hear them but didn't bother to look their way.

"I am saying he moved like a storm and killed with ease. He is more powerful than he claims to be. He can't just be hundred years old."?Zarin explained, not caring that Ilyas could hear them.

He moved like a storm? She clearly had more to learn about Ilyas, but she didn't want to judge him before knowing the whole truth.

"Did he do it in front of everyone?" She just asked in case.

She didn't believe that Ilyas would be so stupid to expose that he was a demon. All demons knew that their existence had to be unknown to humans.

"No." Zarin replied.

"Then there shouldn't be a problem. He made the task easier, didn't he?"

"He did. But he is not being truthful." Zarin said.

"I believe in him." Heaven spoke with finality. "Now we have other things to think about."

She stood up from her seat and went to speak to her soldiers. They still had things left to do. They had taken care of the castle's defence and the king's quarter's. Those were the biggest threats. But the queen's and the prince's quarters were left.

The prince followed in his father's footsteps. He exploited and oppressed the weak. Despite all the natural resources their kingdom had, their people starved while they swam in riches. The more she found out about humans, the more they surprised her.

Heaven gave her men instructions with Callum's help and they divided the task between them to take care of the prince and the queen.

"Zarin, you can follow them and help. Ilyas, you can stay here with me." Heaven said.

Zarin looked between her and Ilyas before following the others quietly. Heaven was relieved that she didn't have to scold him again. Once everyone left the hall, Ilyas turned to her.

"My Lady, it seems like my actions displeased you." He said.

"No, they didn't." She looked into his eyes. The pale blue in them had a hint of silver.

She had thought about it once before but never asked. "Was any of your parents ancient?"

"Yes, my mother. She was a smoke demon. "

She had guessed right. No wonder Zarin was surprised by his strength. Zamiel must have chosen him for a reason, but strength alone was not the reason. Why was Ilyas loyal to her? It felt like he served her wholeheartedly, despite that he wasn't given much of a choice.

Ilyas had provided her with all the information she needed the night she was making her plan. He had been a great support.

"What do you think we should do with the King?" She asked, curious to know his opinion.

"Your Highness. Why are you not eating?" Callum disrupted her thoughts. He handed her a bread where she sat alone on the floor, thinking, while everyone else ate their food. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
