Chapter 644 - 589: Follower (2/2)

Arthur raised his hand to stop him, which was actually more effective than his skills. Zaarae stopped in her tracks and looked back at the middle-aged man, her eyes containing longing and affections. She really didn't seem to be faking it, or so Arthur thought.

'What the hell is happening?'

Cold sweat soaked his body as he thought of various scenarios but he couldn't figure out why one of the Twelve was acting like this. One second after the other passed but Arthur remained motionless, his eyes never leaving the woman's figure. What made him even more confused is that his body feel the slightest bit uncomfortable when she held his arm. He shook his head, purging the unnecessary thoughts before saying:

”What do you want?”

He glanced at the narrow corridor in- between the cells while stretching his sense, worrying that the Chief Guard noticed this 'disturbance'. Zaarae noticed his every movement, she giggled and assuredly said:

”Don't worry, that old foggy won't do a thing! Even if he did, I'll protect you.”

She sounded genuine but Arthur could trust her at all. This was too abrupt and his thoughts were in total disarray.

”Anyway, don't get close to me or touch me.”

Thankfully, Radolf interfered and respectfully said: ”Empress, our master is already married.”

Hearing this, Zaarae frowned but didn't look angry. She just said: ”What if he has a few women? I don't mind.”

'What few women? Is she actually crazy? Damnit!'

For the first time, he was happy that Lucy wasn't here with him. If she saw Zaarae hug him, a death-match would have already started between the two women.

Knowing that the other party is one of the twelve and someone who he couldn't offend, Arthur corrected his tone and politely said:

”Empress, I think you've mistaken me to someone else. I'm a married a faithful man.”

He didn't know why he was talking about this topic in such a gloomy place but if he doesn't make himself clear then Zaarae would repeat the same actions.

As if she was wronged, the woman crossed her arms and retorted: ”It doesn't matter to me! I just want to accompany you and have fun.”

She seductively winked at him while changing her pose to another one which revealed her thighs and her perfect curves.

A sigh escaped Arthur's lips as he shook his head, truly not knowing what to do.

'There is no way to get rid of her for now. What do you think? Should we use her?'

Although he, more or less, took a decision, Arthur wanted to hear his spirit's opinion.

”Master, she's very dangerous but I feel no ill intent from her. In fact, she is purposely sealing her aura to not hurt you. If she tags along, we can leave this place easily.”

'I hope you're right…'-Arthur

”…” After a minute or two, Arthur sighed again and told her: ”You can come but DON'T touch me.”

Zaarae vigorously nodded her head then went next to Arthur, her excited eyes never leaving him. She was more obedient than he had thought, making him question the reality of the current events. How can one of the Twelve act like this? Isn't it absurd? Illogical?
