It was creeping her. Although she was also a blood thrust tyrant, still licking someone else hand while it was bleeding, was too much for her.
She slapped his hand away and backed off a little.
"Are you crazy!" she said.
He raised his lowered eyelids and smirked, his eyes having a killer shine and tongue licking his own lips.
Her father who saw those things, stood silently while being petrified.
Nanny Ai legs lost its strength and she sat down while looking down. She could feel the tyrant obsession for Theo and his pressurizing aura which was completely at the different level from the King.
"Maybe!" Jasper replied to Theo's question.
Gird rushed to him and while putting his palms on Jasper shoulder, he said, "Your highness, please stop this!".
Jasper evilly glanced at those arms which was near his shoulder. If it was someone else in the place of Gird, their both arms would have went flying.
Gird gasped and backed off after flinching, his arms lifted up, eyes staring down and lips curled.
The intimidating glare of Jasper was, too much, still Mr. Castillo after coming back to his senses embraced Theo.
His back was in front of Jasper as he embraced Theo, his eyes shut tightly and lips pressed together.
Jasper chuckled and suddenly gave him a terrifying look, "Do you want to die, Castillo!" he said.
Mr. Castillo was scared but his hands was still tightly gripping Theo. He was also a well know fighter but he knew that in front of Prince Jasper, he stood no chance and so, he gave up on the thoughts of retaliating and stood silently while trying to protect her.
Theo sighed and slowly got him to loosened his grips, "Its ok, I am not someone who can die so easily, so rest assured and stay calm".
He gulped and looked at Theo with his eyes filled with pain. He was in his emotional state and his heart was anxious with every beat.
Theo took one step ahead and without any fear, she looked in his eyes.
It was becoming more interesting for him as no one had ever dared to talk while looking in his eyes, and she can be called as the first person after his parents whose eyes showed no sign of fear.
Jasper was curious about her bravery, as for, why would a child been born mentally sick become so stable and fearless after getting his mental stability back?
"I hate the most when someone tries to hurt my people! But look at you, you even dared to threaten my father. Perhaps are you taking us lightly?" said Theo.
His blunt and fearless words ringed in Jasper ears and it felt definitely nice to him.
He chuckled and nodded, "So what if I took your family lightly? Even if I don't use my status, still believe me, I can easily slay your whole clan within one night".
Theo giggled and raised her eyelids, she was giving an intimidating glare. It was pressuring others and her giggle quickly changed into smirk.
"In that case, I have to warn you. The moment you tried to cross the line, it will be the end of your proud head," she said and put her thumb near her neck and made a neck cutting gesture.
Gird gasped, his face was all pale and he felt like seeing Angel's in front of him, who came to take his soul away.
"My god! Why are you doing this to me? I never have offended anyone, but I must have done some crazy act in my past life to receive such a painful day and horrible master," he mumbled while looking down.
Jasper looked down on her with his intimidating eyes, his lips were still raised from the corner.
He slowly raised his arm and grabbed her neck with his fingers stretched apart.
It wasn't too tight of a grip and he leaned closer near her left ear and whispered, "The more you act stubborn, the more I want you".
His fingers was gently caressing her neck line and while whispering near her ear, he sniffed.
It was a calming smell and he had never felt so peaceful as he was feeling at that time. It was soothing and he stayed like that for a few seconds.
Theo was annoyed, she was biting her lips but stood straight as she felt that he might torn her neck apart, at any moment.
"Just wait until I regain my whole strength, I will end your wasteful life at that moment. But wait, I wasn't send here to kill others but rather, I was send to repent, but I think that taking one more life won't become an obstacle in my repenting path," she thought and gulped.
He was feeling her every movement as if observing a life.
Mr. Castillo and others were silently watching his every movement, but being silent doesn't really meant that. Inside their heart, they were standing at the brink of collapsing but still he managed to stay put, since he can't collapse before knowing his daughter well being.
At last his patience broke and he the one who never pleaded anyone, said, "Your highness, please leave my son's neck or he will die. I have only got him and can't live without him, so please forgive his rudeness".
Jasper suddenly realized that he had been in that posture for a longer time then he thought, and he moved back.
"Don't worry, Mr. Castillo! I just got another reason to let your son live. But that doesn't change the fact, that I am taking him with me," he replied while curiously staring Theo.
Theo eyebrows become furrowed and she asked, "Where are you taking me?".
He smirked and said, "If you were a woman, then I would have married you and taken you to the palace, but alas! You are a man, so I can only take you as a companion. Now, now.. I will take my leave and Mr. Castillo remember to keep my stay here a secret, if you want your son to live with you for a few more days".
Jasper left and Gird followed him after taking a deep breath of relief, "It wasn't that bad of a day. At least no one died today!" he mumbled and smiled to keep his heart calm.
Mr. Castillo was disappointed because he couldn't keep his only daughter safe, and what more scared him was, that the prince who hated the marriage topic most, wanted to marry her if she was a woman.
"What if he finds out her real gender?" a terrifying thought rushed through his mind and he frowned.
"Was the one who have more power then you and would want to take me away, was him?" Theo asked while staring Jasper's back as he went away.
Mr. Castillo pressed his forehead with his finger, he was having a head ache and it was visible to others.
Theo sighed and turned toward him, looking in his eyes, she said, "Its ok, I will make sure that no one knows the truth".
Mr. Castillo rather then looking at Theo, glanced at Mike and others who were standing there like a puppet. He signaled them with his fingers and they went away.
Now there was no one else other then Mr. Castillo and Theo. Theo could understand the situation and she took a deep breath and confidently looked at Mr. Castillo.
"Tell me, who are you?" Mr. Castillo asked bluntly.
She was sure that he would be having many questions in his mind, but she never thought that he would end up asking that.
She hesitated before answering and thought, "How should I answer him? Will he even believe me if I told him the truth?".
Seeing her unmoving lips, he said, "It was you who wanted to answer me, then why are you hesitating now!".
She nodded and raised her eyelids, her eyes clear and face having a serious look, "What if I say that I don't even remember myself! Will you believe, if I told you that I was attracted to swords, the moment I opened my eyes?".
He was having a dismay gaze and his thoughts were wavering. Well, no one can accept such an absurd things and Theo was well aware of it after having a thorough research on the smart phone, and if he can't believe even that, then telling him about transmigration will not only be a waste of time, but also she would be hurting his emotions.
No matter how much Theo tried to stop her nonsense thoughts, still she could see her father in his fatherly gaze.
Even though he might not believed her and might got hurt after knowing that she was not her real daughter, but playing with his emotions was something Theo hated the second most things, since he reminded her of her father.
"You must be naturally talented in swordsmanship, so let's forget it and think of a way to solve this situation," Mr. Castillo said, his eyes down which wavered Theo's heart.
"No, I am not naturally talented! I am Della Mabel, a woman who doesn't belongs to this world and came after your daughter died. I know this feels absurd to hear, but that's the truth. I won't ask for your forgiveness, since I never asked for this life, rather if you hate me for this, then I will never show myself in front of you and that's the only thing I can do for you," she said.
Her eyes become wider as she saw his big smile on his face, as if the things he heard from her, was what he wanted to hear.
