Tempting Fate-Chapter 87

87 Chapter 87: Reed and Dynhir

“You can’t kill me because you already know what would happen if you did...”

“As if I care,” Reed replied. “I’m the king, so everyone should bow down to me...”

Eve appeared out of nowhere right next to Dynhir and Reed. She grabbed Reed’s arm and tried to pull Reed’s hand off Dynhir’s neck.

“Eve, get out of here if you don’t want me to hurt you as well...” Reed said.

Dynhir smiled. “Okay, take your anger out on both of us, and let’s see what happens next.”

“Everyone in the kingdom will find out what you did, Prince Dynhir. The attempt of sexual assault Ac against the chosen Queen.”

Eve turned around when she heard Devin. Devin let out black smoke and wrapped it around Eve. Eve then flew toward Devin. Devin grabbed Eve. After putting her down, he gave her a back hug. Devin rests his chin on Eve’s shoulder. Eve gasped when she felt the huge bulge rubbing between her buttocks.

Devin gently bit Eve’s neck. Because Devin was desperate to want Emy, his whole body felt like it was on fire.

Flashback..... 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

.....

Emy looked at Devin. “If I were to ask you,” she said, “what do you want in return?”

“It depends on what you are asking,” Devin said. “What do you wish for?”

Emy just looked at Devin, grabbed the glass, and drained the contents. “I’m waiting,” Devin told Emy.

“You used to ask me if you could be in love with me because of how you felt...”

“Yes, I remembered. So?”

“If I felt the same way about you, what will happen?”

Devin couldn’t say anything. Emy’s words left him speechless. Emy noticed this.

“Don’t get me wrong. I just said “what if”?” Emy said.

“Well, I don’t know the answer, to be honest. Love isn’t what we do.”

Emy nodded. Devin looked at Emy, who had a red face and neck. Her eyes seem sleepy.

“Are you drunk yet?”

“Am I?” Emy said, laughing.

Devin smirked. He looked closely at Emy’s face. She’s a perfect example of how special she is. When he entered her dream, because of what Dynhir had done, he had a sudden flashback in his head. His eyes stopped on Emy’s lips.

“What makes you look at me like that? Don’t you dare tell me you stole a kiss from me! Emy asked, laughing.

“Let’s talk about what happened on that day..”

“On that day?

“Yeah, that was the day I came into your dream. Did you feel..”

“You? How did you feel that day?” Emy spoke up.

“I want you,” Devin said casually.

Emy nodded. “Okay.” Emy took a beer bottle and drank it right out of it. “Damn, why does this beer make me so tipsy?”

Emy stared at the picture on the bottle. The picture was of a horse. But she was so lightheaded that she had to close her eyes. She didn’t notice that she was about to fall until she felt Devin’s arm around her and one hand on his breast. Emy pushes Devin and gets up, but she’s very dizzy. A few moments later, she completely passed out, but not on the floor but in Devin’s arms. Devin took her in his arms and put her on the bed. Emy closed her eyes when he laid her down. Her baggy dress was turned slightly to the side, so he could see her pelvis and thigh. He immediately got up and used the smoke to cover Emy’s body. He quickly left the room and started looking for Reed.

End of a flashback.

Eve said, “Damn, Devin, you’re hard.”

“Just stay where you are and watch them,” Devin said.

Eve suddenly remembered what was going on. “No, Devin, Reed could kill Dynhir.”

“He should have to pay for what he has done,” Devin said. “Of course, with his life.”

“No,” Eve said. She cast his gaze on Reed. “Don’t hurt Dynhir, Reed!”

A dark silver dagger came out of Reed’s hand. Eve’s eyes grew wider, while Devin smiled.

“Don’t kill him, Reed. If you do, it will lead to war...”

“War doesn’t scare me,” Reed said.

“Reed, please tell me what he can do. Don’t just kill him.” Eve yelled from far away.

Reed swiftly raised Dynhir and dumped him to the grass below while maintaining his grip on Dynhir’s neck the whole time. A slight earthquake happened because of what Reed did.

“A pledge that can never be broken...” Devin said. “Reed, what do you think?”

“You won’t let me make an unbreakable vow.” Dynhir scoffed at Reed.

“Then you should try Reed. Let’s see if you can’t persuade him...” Devin said.

“Damn you, Devin. Why are you doing this?”

“Well, I am helping you and the king.”

“What?”

“If Reed agrees to the unbreakable vow, you can save Dynhir and it will be fair to the king if Dynhir is scared. Think, baby, think.”

Reed raised his hand as the demon’s knife, which was being held by Reed’s black smoke, floated in the air.

“Think, Eve. Soon, the demon’s knife will suddenly bury your cousin.” Devin hush.

Devin let go of Eve and let her approach Reed. Eve sat beside Dynhir. Eve closed her eyes for a moment, and then her tail came out with a sharp tip. It was swaying in the wind. Devin smiled and grabbed Dynhir’s hand.

“Eve, don’t dare...” said Dynhir.

“I dare, Dynhir...” said Eve.

Eve’s tail rose and cut Dynhir’s arm until black blood came out. Eve was looking at Reed.

“Not me, Eve. You...” said Reed.

“W-what?”

“Do it, Eve, before Reed changes his mind and kills this one,” Devin said.

Eve cut her arm and grabbed Dynhir’s arm. When their blood met, Reed spoke up.

“Repeat after me, Eve...” Reed said. “At some point, we won’t be able to leave the realm...”

“Reed...”

“Eve, don’t do this... don’t do it...”

“It’s disgusting, Reed. Will you let me say the vows to them?” Devin asked.

“Do whatever you want...” Reed said.

“This is what you have to say, Eve,” Devin said. “Everything Dynhir does in this realm is the same as what 15 incubi and succubus death in the realm.” Betraying the king is the same as betraying the entire clan, and profiling the queen is the same as profiling the entire clan.”

“Eve no. Don’t be a moron. Let him kill me...”

“Everything Dynhir does in this realm is the same as what 15 incubi and succubus death in the realm.” Betraying the king is the same as betraying the entire clan, and profiling the queen is the same as profiling the entire clan.” Eve said. “The unbreakable promise will end only when Dynhir and I die.”

Reed freed Dynhir and gave him a powerful blow that knocked him out. Eve’s body shook as she felt the power of the unbreakable vow.

Reed just vanished right in front of them. Devin grinned at the two of them.

Reed suddenly showed up on the veranda of their room. He grabbed the glass and went through it. Emy was sleeping soundly in the bed. He also looked at the table near the sofa. There was no more beer. He went right up to Emy and kissed her on the lips.

“What an amazing accomplishment you have done today...”

Reed turned toward the sofa. There was a gorgeous woman with bobbed hair sitting there. Reed stood up and walked toward the girl.

“You?”

“I just showed up to say that I’m impressed,” it said. “You have exacted justice on those who were guilty but who did not need the use of violence. You have done right by Emy and the people that demon killed.”

“That was not my idea.”

“Yes, I know, but you agreed to do it and you did it. That is important.”

The woman got up and walked towards Reed. She walked around him, looking at him.

“Will you reward me for what I did, or will you just applaud me?”

“Let’s see,” it said. “Tell me what you want?”

“Give me back the power to heal.”

“No. I will not do that. Boss said nothing...”

.....

“But that’s important because...”

“There’s something much more important than that...”

Reed took a deep breath in. “I can’t come up with anything.”

The woman stopped circling him and looked at him. “Can’t you think of anything? Are you serious?” Reed said nothing back; he just looked at the girl. “Okay. Let’s just add it to your next achievement...”

“What exactly do you mean?”

“You have accomplished nothing yet, demon. And you are just starting your adventure in the human world.”

“I don’t want to be a hero in the world. What I want is for you to give me back the power you took away from me.”

“I’ll ask you, demon...” it said. “Have you fallen in love with that girl yet?”

Devin gave a headshake. “No.”

She gave a smile. “Then you should let her go. Someone is ready to give him the love you can’t give him.”

“What?” Reed asked. “She’s the one I’m looking for and the one I’ve chosen. Why am I letting her go?”

“Why do you want to hold her?”

“I need her,” he said.

“Simply because you need her?”

“You say she’s a special person. Why should I let her go?”

“There are many special people, Reed. She isn’t the only one.”

“She sees me for who I am...”

“Because you want her to see you.”

Reed furrowed his brow. “What do you want to say?”

“Boss loves humans, and if you plan to make that girl just a sex slave and don’t want to do anything else with her...”

“I chose her to be my queen.”

“Why did you choose her?”

“Because she’s different.”

“Because you’re interested in her.”

“You’re crazy..”

“Watch what you say, demon...”

“Reed?”

Reed looked over at Emy. She’s sitting on the bed. “Who’re you talking to?” Emy’s voice is still hoarse, and she looks sleepy.

Reed looked around the room, but the girl wasn’t there anymore. He went over to Emy right away and sat down on the bed.

“Looks like you’ve had a lot to drink. You finished the beer.” Reed said.

“Yes, yes. I think I’m drunk because the flavor is so strong.”

Reed chuckled. “Why are you awake?”

“I overheard you talking.”

“You’re just dreaming.”

He pushed Emy onto the bed, laid down next to her, and then hugged her tight from behind. He did not understand what that woman was trying to say. No matter what happens, he won’t let Emy go.
