DAHLIA'S POVI went back to my residence. However, Kaleid was with me, following me most of the time like a dog, even though I kept on telling him that I could go back alone, but he still chose to ignore me.I glanced at Kaleid who had a cold expression and gloomy aura all over him and his eyes were so sharp that it would make someone feel like they were being targeted by him if ever they anyone approached him right now.Yes, he is standing behind me and every time I greet someone, his eyes darken even more, but he still wears the smile on his face—a smile that was twitching from irritation.I couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh, especially because of the way he looked at the residence who was trying to get close to me—for another gossip about where I live together with my parents now and they kept on asking about what happened to the monster that had attacked them. Anyway, I know that they were just faking their concerns so that they could get the answers that they wanted in thei

DAHLIA'S POVThe corner of my lips lifted upon seeing Mayor Phil left with no other choice but to comply with our wishes with an angry heart. Although at first, he was going to propose that he would send thirty of his subordinates to be with us, help us go to the forest just to find Mr. Rocco and Kaleid were the first people who had disagreed with his words.“Mayor Phil, are you going to let your subordinates take your stead? You are the one who is responsible for the people of your residence. How could you just easily send your subordinates to the forest knowing that it is dangerous?” Kaleid calmly yet coldly asked while looking at the so of Mayor Phil.When Mayor Phil had heard Kaleid's words, his last sanity had snapped and so was his patience towards us. His eyes openly glared at us without hiding his anger towards us.His forefingers were pointing at us with flushed faces, gritting his teeth from anger. “If you know that the forest is dangerous, then why the hell are you two tryi

DAHLIA'S POVMy face crumbled like a piece of paper and my eyes filled with disgust and hate upon looking at the thing in front of me.Well, that ‘thing’ was none other than a large cave that was filled with slaves who were still alive yet not really that alive. Although they were breathing, they seemed to be dead. There were men and women that were inside of the two large cages. They were all drained and they looked like sockets because they were too thin, as if they hadn't eaten properly for years.However, there were some of their fellow slaves who were being locked inside of the cage and had died. If I am not mistaken, there were thirty slaves inside of the first cage and twenty-five slaves inside of the second cage, which is next to each other.However, there were thirty-five of them who had already died inside of the cage, leaving the slaves who were still half alive, looking like skeletons.“Fuck... this is so damn cruel!” I couldn't help but grit my teeth from anger as I look

DAHLIA'S POVKaleid and I were the ones who took the lead for them, Arthur, and also those people among the residents who were also curious about what we, among them, had said earlier. Although they trusted Mayor Phil, after hearing our words, their hearts were in turmoil and couldn't help but waver. They also wanted to see and make sure that the person that they gave their trust was a trustable person, even if it was the Mayor or someone who had a high rank.In other words, they just left Mayor Phil lying on the ground, completely helpless and trembling from fear of his secrets being known to everyone. He tried to open his mouth and scream from the top of his lungs just to get our attention, trying to stop us from going to his underground, but no one paid attention to his scream and even if he shouted and was even trying to use his words to manipulate his people again like the way he used to, he wasn't able to do so.All because I had already managed to capture the heart and attentio

DAHLIA'S POVI could feel her hand wrapped tightly around my neck, pinching my vital point as if she couldn't wait to press it tightly if my answer was unsatisfactory to her. When I looked at her, her eyes were filled with hatred, doubt and most of all... she was hesitant.I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle in my heart. Who would have thought that she was a soft-hearted woman despite having such a stoic and stern expression that was plastered on her face all day?Even her hands that were on my neck were also shaking as if she was afraid to press them tightly enough to kill me.In other words, she didn't want to kill me and was just trying to scare me so that she could gather information from my own mouth.I squeezed out my palm tightly, enough for me to feel pain and the corner of my eyes reddened, looking at her with my doe eyes plus with a pitiful expression.“W-Why are you being like this to me, Irene? I-I am clearly innocent... I didn't do anything wrong... I just got her
