Chapter 635: Lola’s Revenge

"What are you doing right now?" Aldric finally asked the battalion of soldiers. He was not amused with the fact that his short moment with the betrayer yet adorable human was interrupted. There was something alluring about Islinda that he couldn’t wrap his head around.

Before Kalamazoo could answer, Elena chipped in while glaring daggers at Islinda. "I was the one who called them." She declared confidently as if her opinion was supposed to be held in high esteem or something.

"You might not be aware of this but she..." Elena pointed at her, "attacked both guards stationed at the entrance and I as well. How a human could effortlessly attack a Fae is beyond me, I told you that she was not supposed to be trusted." She implied that Islinda was more than she appeared to be.

When the witch Lola, pretending to be Elena, had been unable to kill the human that night at the palace, she instinctively knew at once that Islinda was not human. So Lola had been wary and actively trying to figure out what Islinda was, but the bitch was good at covering her tracks. She couldn’t exactly pretend to get on her good side since the both of them had not exactly started on the right foot and she didn’t exactly want to.

As much as Lola was the captain in charge of this body, Elena’s emotions sometimes influenced her actions and she never liked Islinda — both Lola and Elena. Islinda pissed them off for strange reasons. Then add the fact she was Aldric’s favorite, the dark Fae prince, whom Elena was actively pursuing, made it impossible to be friends with her. She hated Islinda and wanted to tear her apart for trying to take what should be hers.

However, with Aldric under her control, Lola hoped that he would help her figure out what creature Islinda was and then get rid of her afterwards. Unfortunately, it seems that even while under the influence of the spell, Aldric was shockingly strong and seemed to possess a mind of his own. Although she ensured to ruin his perception of Islinda, it seemed it was still not enough. He was still lenient towards Islinda and that pissed her off.

Aldric’s expression was unreadable as he turned to Islinda and asked, "Is that so, little human?"

Islinda’s heart began to race quickly and she was at odds on what to do. She had earlier attacked the fae guards and Elena, knowing that Aldric as usual would cover for her. Unfortunately, Aldric is under Elena’s influence, and would undoubtedly expose her.

But then, Aldric’s words echoed in her mind at that moment, "I will not get rid of you, nor hurt you." and Islinda thought, perhaps, Aldric was not entirely a slave to Elena’s influence. Perhaps she might be able to take advantage of that little kindness and save her ass.

"I did." Islinda acknowledged.

Aldric’s gaze turned sharp at once, the wheels in his head turning unlike Elena who was delighted at the confession. Now, it was only a matter of time till they figured out what she was. Except her smugness didn’t last.

Batting her eyelids in a display of innocence, Islinda bit down nervously on her lower lip, her gaze fixed on Aldric’s. With a subtle tilt of her head, she wore a soft, pleading look in her eyes.

"The truth is that I have been secretly training and learning some defensive moves," Islinda confessed, her voice small and timid. She conveyed her vulnerability through her expression, silently pleading for Aldric’s understanding in the midst of the accusation.

"What the hell?" Elena cursed, pissed. Unlike Aldric who seem to be buying whatever was going on right now, she could see through Islinda’s innocent demeanor. Even with Aldric under her control, it seemed that Islinda was still a formidable opponent.
