★★★
Alex placed his hand on Harley and her pain disappeared immediately.
She was no longer in pain but the cold was still there, she was still feeling sick.
“Hey are you okay?”, He asked her and she nodded slowly.
Seeing Alex so close to her and asking after her made her heart beat fast.
He has really been so nice to her and she has being feeling different.
“Ember won’t Bully you anymore, I am your new trainer.”, He said with a smile and Harley just stared at his face.
He was the only person that stood up for her among the superior.
Emily who was just watching them felt so jealous. Seeing Alex smile sweetly at another lady made her so concerned and jealous.
She just h@tëd being jealous but with Alex — she couldn’t help it because he was just so nice to people.
“Will you just rest today?”, He asked but Harley refused, insisting that she was okay and they started the training.
Ember just stared at Alex, was he just pulling her legs? Cyrus wouldn’t even think twice before killing the lady but now Alex was treating her differently.

They were still preparing for a mission when Cyrus was informed that he had a visitor.
“Long time no see Cyrus.”, Magnus greeted Cyrus with a smile but Cyrus expression didn’t change, he just stared at him.
Everyone gathered around them, ready for a fight. Both his people and the people of the academy.
“Why were you allowed in?”, Cyrus said and he just smiled.
“I am not here for a fight Cyrus, you don’t need to be afraid.”, He said.
Harley just watched confused, what is going on and who is he?
What does he want?
“I’m just here for a negotiation.”, He said and Cyrus crossed his hands across his chest.
“Two of your students were caught by my men and now if you want them alive, all you just need to do is to take this drink.”, He said and everyone watched curiously waiting for what Cyrus will do.
“Are you crazy? What do you think you are doing?”, Alex fired and Magnus just glared at him.
“Stay away from this Alex.”, He said.
“But he ….”
“Are you deaf? Do you not value your life?”, Cyrus yelled at him angrily.
“I don’t really care about my life, I am willing to do anything for you, I will take the drink.”, He said as he walked towards the drink.
Cyrus just hit him and he became unconscious immediately.
“Carry him away.”, He said to the guards and Alex was carried away.
“I see that you still have puppets that are ready to die for someone who isn’t worth it.”, Magnus said.
“Do they even know how much of a monster you have since childhood? I think I should tell them now so that they would know who they want to protect.”, He said and Cyrus clenched his fist angrily.
“But I won’t say it, not now. So back to our deal, you either kill your people or take the drink.”, He said with a smirk.
“Lord Cyrus please save us and take the drink, please save us…. Please.”, They pleaded in tears as they went on their knees begging for their life.
Magnus smirked victoriously as he watched Cyrus stand there and do nothing, he surely is in a tight corner.
“I will take the drink.”, Harley found herself saying and Everyone watched her in disbelief.
Infact she couldn’t believe herself, why would she want to risk her life for a heartless immortal who is nothing but just a wicked being to her.
She didn’t even know where the courage came from.
“And who are you? His woman?”, Magnus asked.
“It doesn’t matter, I will take the drink.”, She said boldly as she stepped forward.
Cyrus just hit her like he had done for Alex and she collapsed.
“Lock the both of them up for a punishment.”, He ordered and she was taken away.
“It looks like you have gotten yourself a lover, a lady who is ready to risk her life, maybe she will be your weakness later.”, Magnus said.
“Well I wonder what you are talking about because she won’t even live to see tomorrow, if you are waiting for me to have a weakness, I will tell you that you shouldn’t waste your time, I am not weak to fall for a woman.”, Cyrus said firmly.
“Like you did for Ariel? Well instead of wasting that lady, I want her to be my woman.”, Magnus said with a smirk seeing his expression change at the mention of Ariel.
Cyrus stretched his hand and a sword appeared and without thinking twice, he just stabbed the two girls that were kidnapped.
Everyone gasped at the sight of this, no one was expecting Cyrus to do what he did.
“He is really a monster.”, People whispered to themselves.
“I h@të this academy.”
“What would it take him to take that drink after all they pleaded for their life?”
“If he wasn’t going to take it why did he stop Alex and the new lady then?”
“I see that you still haven’t changed—- anyways we will surely see later, you should watch your back.”, Magnus said and he left with his people.
“I won’t take responsibility for your live if you leave the academy without permission.”, Cyrus said and left.
“Gosh he’s so heartless, isn’t he a immortal? What is he afraid of that he can’t take that drink?”
“Lord Cyrus for how long should we lock Alex and the new lady up?”
“Lock them for a day without food or water.”, He instructed.
“If I find out that you disobeyed me by giving them food, then consider yourself dead.”, He threatened and the guards gulped.
“We won’t lord Cyrus.”, They said as they bowed.
★★★
In your opinion do you think Cyrus wasn’t supposed to kill those girls? Why?
Do you think he was also right to lock Alex and Harley? What do you think might be the reason?
