HERMIONE'S POVI helplessly looked at Phoenix and couldn't help but rub my temples that were throbbing.“Phoenix dear, pay attention to your image.” I calmly stated while looking at him who was torturing the buzzcut man that was bleeding heavily with dark bruises.After hearing my voice, he swiftly looked at me and took a deep breath. “Can I kill him now?”I shook my head. “We need to use him. Probably his comrades were hiding somewhere and were waiting to ambush us.”“I've already killed the leader after saving Jacques. Can they still do even without their leader?” Phoenix calmly said while walking towards my direction as he was wiping his blooded fist in disgust.“Well, who knows? We don't know if what you killed was their leader or what. But don't worry, we have someone who will provide us with some information we want to know.” I said while giving the buzz cut a side eye.I couldn't help but be amazed at the perseverance of the buzz cut, especially that he hadn't passed out despit
HERMIONE'S POV“Come on babe, tell me and I'll kill them first.” Phoenix said while urging me. His eyes were coldly looking at the ten assassins who were looking for their advantage to attack.I rolled my eyes at him. “Can you just close your mouth, Phoenix? You're acting like a psychopath right now.”I saw him pouting and looked at me aggrievedly. “You don't love me anymore?”Before I could reply, I had noticed that one of the assassins was secretly making a move and the sharp knife in his hands was facing in our direction as if he would stab me with those knives.Did he pick me as his first target, knowing that I am,, weaker than Phoenix because I am a woman?I was about to fight him back, when before that assassin could get close to me, I saw a flying dagger in my eyes and it directly stabbed right in the assassin's forehead.Blood spurt out and I watched that assassin's eyes widen but he couldn't do anything. He slumped onto the ground, lying motionlessly.This action had triggere
HERMIONE'S POVAfter dealing with the assassin, we went to check on the victims and upon seeing that they are well, under the care of their Alpha and also their future Queen... Megan, I let out a sigh of relief and didn't go there.“Cai managed to track the leader of the bandits,” Phoenix said in my ears.I looked at him in surprise. “That was fast. Where?”“Currently escaping near the cliff. Our subordinates are currently chasing him right now,” Phoenix said while resting his chin on my shoulder.I stared at him and solemnly reminded him. “You had better be sure to catch him alive.”Feeling wronged, he pouted. “Am I that cruel in your heart?”“Yes.” After thinking about it, I changed my words. “You're quite reckless.”“How am I...” Seeing that he was going to deny it, I rolled my eyes and pinched his lips, making them form like a duck.“Go on and take care of the leader of the bandits. I'm going with Megan.” I said as I retracted from his hug and faced him, giving a kiss on his lips.
HERMIONE'S POVI helplessly looked at Phoenix who was, take indifference when he threw the ‘body’ of the bandit leader on the ground and watched him take out his wipes, start wiping his hands as if he had just grabbed a bacteria.“Thank you for your hard work, dear.” I calmly said as I bent down and looked at the shivering bandit leader.Its large muscles like a hulk... were completely different when he looked at me with hope and fear... fear that Phoenix might do something to him again.“I want to ask you something, can I?” I purposely lowered my tone as I looked at him.Before the bandit leader could nod his head desperately, Phoenix had spoken.“Stand up and let's go to the warehouse. It's dangerous to talk here.” Phoenix said while leading the way.The bandit leader's face turned green when he tried to move, but compared to when he was being dragged by Phoenix, he would rather endure the pain right now.I watched the bandit leader walk with one leg and his face was pale. Right aft
HERMIONE'S POV“Are you sure you're going to find her?“ Phoenix asked while helping me pack my things and also a medicine kit.I didn't need to look at him and directly nodded my head. “Yes, I have to. Otherwise, I would be restless all day.”“You don't need to go there. We can just send our subordinates to find her and once she's found, they will inform us.” Phoenix suggested, as he helped me pack our things, especially the medicine kit and a pair of extra clothing.I smiled and shook my head. “No, if Elizabeth found out the subordinates we have sent, she would be more stubborn enough to hide. I have to go there and find her.”Seeing that I was resolute to find Elizabeth, Phoenix let out a heavy sigh and nodded his head.“Fine. However, I have to go with you.”I looked at him and shook my head. “Remember, you still have a lot of things to take care of.”Phoenix shrugged his shoulders and calmly replied, “I don't have anything else to do other than be with you.”Before I could say any
HERMIONE'S POVI helped Elizabeth lie back on the bed and when I saw that Phoenix was about to force his way to get in after hearing my voice, I immediately stood up and said to him with assurance.“Don't worry, nothing happened to me.” I said while looking at Phoenix, who now put his fist back on his trousers.Phoenix's brows furrowed. “Then if something comes up, I'll be outside for you. Not even that witch's magic could stop me.”The corner of my lips rose up as I nodded my head upon hearing his words. “I know, I promise that I will call you if something comes up. Rest assured.”After reassuring Phoenix, he reluctantly watched me close the door and I went back to Elizabeth, who was frowning, closing her eyes. Buds of sweat forming on her pale face while unconsciously letting out a painful groan.This was the first time I saw her being in this state and I didn't know what to do.I immediately went to the bathroom and took warm water, then a small towel, then started wiping it on her
HERMIONE'S POVI watched Elizabeth take a deep breath as she let out a heavy sigh right after. She looked troubled and seemed like she was hesitant to tell me, but under my persistent gaze, she left with no other choice.“It's just that... this was my punishment for using my prophecy too much.” Elizabeth said while rubbing her head and, from time to time, she would frown from the pain.I already have some guesses that it might be related to Denver and also the punishment for using her abilities had viewed the future, which was from the beginning, was against the world of nature. I was still beyond shock by it.“Didn't I already tell you to stop using it?” I couldn't help but be in trouble. “Even your previous master told you to only use it once because the more you use it, the more you are defying the laws of nature!”Elizabeth rubbed her brows furrowed and let out a heavy sigh. “I know... I was wrong. It was wrong for me to use it again and again despite knowing the consequences.”I
HERMIONE'S POV“I'm really okay, Hermione. You can go pack to the pack. For sure, that Megan would start complaining that her paperwork had no end.” Elizabeth said while coughing.I looked at her from top to bottom and saw the tiredness in her eyes. Even if her face was pale, she still tried to look fine.I couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. “We'll stay here for two days to check up on you. You're still sick and tired.”Elizabeth weakly smiled and her eyes fell on Phoenix, who was unusually quiet.She let out a chuckle and teased him. “What's with that long face? Is it because I'm interfering with your honeymoon with Hermione?”Hearing this, my cheeks flared up as I couldn't help but glare at her. “What honeymoon? Shut it and go back to your room to rest!”Elizabeth laughed. “Hehe, you think that I didn't know that both of you were looking forward to having a quality time?”Then she waved her hand, gesturing to shoot us away. “Now, now, I don't want to be the third wheel of your
