Witch or Demon?

Evan pov contd

"What do you even have to offer?" the words were no less than the thorn stung in my heart. She was right, I had nothing to offer, yet I could not let a friend suffer.

"I have my life to sacrifice." Though I replied calmly, I still had fears that were slowly crawling my heart. But I could not let her suffer because I was weak.

"That already belonged to me when I bought you, paying a hefty sum. Now stop the act and do your work." my hands clenched into a tight fist when I heard her cold and cruel words. Yet that was the plain truth.

"Is there no way to save her?" I asked again, even if I could see her irked face, I pressed the matter further.

"Why are you so adamant in saving her? I do not like rebels, Evan. I am behaving patiently with you but that does not mean I will continue to behave patiently with you. Now go and do your work." she looked at me and then at Maria who nodded her head and then walked towards me with a knight.
