Alpha Damien's Trouble Maker (by Ruby Anne) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

Caspian

I opened my eyes and found myself standing in a forest, though it no longer looked like the one I had entered. Thick mist filled the space around me, so dense that I could barely make ou the outlines of the trees, and there was not a single sign of life anywhere. No animals moved, no leaves rustled, and even the air felt heavy, carrying a dark and oppressive aura that pressed down on everything.

I did not panic, and I remained completely still as I observed my surroundings with a calm, emotionless gaze.

My guard stood behind me, her posture straight and composed, her eyes locked onto me as if awaiting my command. A few steps away stood two contestants who looked nearly identical, their features so similar that they could only be brothers, and both of them scanned the misty forest with clear confusion written across their faces.

I frowned slightly as I watched them.

The younger one turned toward the other, his voice uncertain as he spoke. “What is going on, brother, and where are we? Are we still in the forest?”

The older one nodded his head without hesitation, his expression steady as he answered. “Yes, we are still in the forest,” he said before offering a small, reassuring smile. “But do not worry because I will take care of you, and I will not let anyone hurt you.”

The younger brother visibly relaxed at his words, a trusting smile forming on his face as he nodded. “I trust you, brother, because you have always protected me.”

He then turned his attention to me, and despite the fear in his eyes, he lowered his head respectfully.

“Your Highness,” he said carefully, “I know we are easy prey, but can you please let us go instead of hurting our eye?”

I followed his gaze upward and looked at the massive eye in the sky, which loomed over us in silence.

I ignored it. Instead, I turned around to face my guard, and the moment I did, she bowed her head respectfully.

“Your Highness,” she said.

I let out a quiet snort, my expression shifting into one of faint di dain as I spoke. “What cheap tricks.”

Before anyone could understand what I meant, I reached for the whip at my waist and pulled it free in a single smooth motion, and in the next instant, I lashed it forward without the slightest hesitation.

The whip cut through the air and struck cleanly. Her head separated from her body in an instant.

Her

eyes widened in shock as her head fell to the ground and rolled toward me, while her body remained standing for a brief moment before beginning to collapse. I heard someone shout from behind me, but I paid it no attention,

I lifted my foot and brought it down onto her head, crushing it beneath my heel.

There was no blood. Instead, her head and body began to crumble, breaking apart into ash that scattered into the air as if she had never existed at all.

I looked down at the fading remains, my expression darkening sightly,

“How dare you,” I said, my voice low and cold, “use such cheap ticks on me.”

I lifted my head and turned away in clear disgust, the feeling seting deep within me.

I hated Akakitsune, because they were nothing but deceitful and disgusting creatures.

When I turned back around, the younger brother stumbled backward, his body trembling as fear overtook him, and his chest rose and fell rapidly as he struggled to breathe. His eyes were wide with terror, and when he spoke, his voice shook uncontrollably..

“Y-Your Highness… please do not kill us,” aid. “We will do anything.”

I looked at him briefly before shifting my gaze to the older brother. He was not afraid. He stood the. directly, and there was a faint smile on his lips, while his gaze held a quiet amusement as if he found the situation far more

meeting my eyes interesting than threatening.
