12 Perfect features

Yama's face darkened a few good shades before he laughed out coldly. Nodding his head for a few times he could not help but tilt his head and all of a sudden he leaned closer to her while trapping her between his both the arms and his hands on the bed giving him support to stand.

Sylia was instantly on alert when she saw him so close to her. His manly smell entered her nostrils making her eyes a little bit shrouded. It was not until she heard his voice that she came back to her senses.

"The way you are acting so brave… let me tell you one thing. I can kill you right away and right now itself. Do you understand?"

The Yama clenched his jaws, but even doing so it made his jawline more shard which could easily make any woman fall over for him over heels. The way his thin lips while before speaking and then at the end when he pressed his lips together and closed them, Sylia noticed that perfect shaping. It wasn't so common for anybody to have so much perfection with their features. His long eye lashes would often flicker, Sylia was amazed to notice that how perfectly it would cover his eyes once he would close them.

Her eyes landed on his tight knuckles then, the firmly built arms as she imagined about the fact what she saw in his eyes.

When the Yama saw her in a reverie of thoughts he frowned but did not disturbed her. Instead he straightened his back and asked her.

"Who are you?"

Once these words left his mouth, Sylia snapped back to her senses and knitted her brows as she tried to recall something. However, as soon as she remembered a blur flash back, her head started to hurt. She closed her eyes tightly and grabbed her head with both of her hands as she yelped out in pain.

"Ahh!"

Taking deep breaths she tried to calm her breath as she slowly opened her eyes.

The Yama was standing in front with a frown expression, he tightened his hands around his sword slightly as he stared at Sylia.

"I… I don't know�� But…"

"But? But what?" The Yama asked her immediately when these words left her mouth.

Before she could say something, there was a knock on the entrance as a voice echoed inside the room making Sylia alert in fear.

"Master…"

Yama gestured to her to remain here while he went near the partition and asked.

"What's the news?"

The person who was standing on the other side of the partition was the minister, so as soon as he had received his orders to find more information regarding Sylia especially from the witches at any cost, he instantly jumped into his actions and went to inquire from them.

Even though each and every one of them was very secretive about everything, however, after staying here as prisoners, who would not wish to get freedom even if it means to leak out just 'information'. However, the news which he received about Sylia from one of those witches was quite surprising as well shocking for him. So he did not waste another moment before he rushed towards the Yama's harem room to inform him with all the pieces of information he had got.

The minister bowed his head down and said.

"Master, indeed the information which we had received from our sources from the other world, the worlds of serpents, was correct. This girl- her name is Sylia. She was indeed adopted by the Bennetts long time back. However, she is neither a witch nor a Serpent. She is someone powerful and about that… the witch under us is not aware because as per her, only the original witches knew. But since this girl Sylia was very powerful from them- a lot more powerful and could easily destroy them so they made her forget everything. This is the reason why even she can't remember anything about her."

As soon as the minister finished speaking, the Yama was processing all the information inside his mind.

After a long time he could not help but stumble upon a single word and mumbled the name under his breath for quite a few times.

"Sylia…" For some reasons he felt like being attracted with the name as well the person with this name even more and more.

However, the following information which he got about her was quite… cruel… wasn't it? But the man creased his forehead instantly and cleared his throat when all of a sudden these thoughts came up popping inside his head.

'Cruel? What cruel? I am the most cruelest thing in the world.' He could not help but sneer. How could he think of something else as cruel instead of himself.

"What else?"

"Nothing much. Also… she said that she was captured and brought to the Serpent world secretly. She was captured by deceiving the other party. To hide her existence, the witches tried to remove that sign from the back of her hand for many times by placing a hot iron rod there, however no matter how much they tried it would appear back again once the burning mark of iron would heal."

"And…" The minister for a bit of a moment but Yama quickly asked him in an authoritative tone.

"What?"

"Her powers were blocked by the Bennett witches as well." The minister said and let out a sigh at the end.

The Yama turned to look at Sylia who was lying down on the bed and looking into his direction only as if waiting for something. He remembered that she doesn't remember what happened to her just before she landed in the portal space. He turned to look back at his minister while a cold gaze swept across his eyes.

"Go and enquire if they could make her remember what happened to her recently. Tell them that she doesn't remember anything."

Once the minister heard his next order, he quickly bowed down and left. While Yama could not help snort inwardly.

'You all wanted to trap us with her, let's see. Not only you all will be punished, she…' The Yama looked at the girl with an unfamiliar emotion before he stopped what he was thinking.
