Hellbound With You novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928: Alicia & Zeke Side Story 4

Inside a massive dark castle, Zeke was in the throne hall.

His sword was dripping with sticky dark demon blood. Many demons had been slaughtered and were scattered in small piles around his feet.

Fisting his hand through a high demon's hair, Zeke tugged hard and made him look up at him. That action not only signified submission from the high demon, but it effectively exposed the vulnerable neck area to Zeke. "I've warned you… never dare try to betray me, Duke. But look at what you just did. Now everyone's dead, all because of your idiocy. To think you even managed to harm Prince Gavriel. You've found his weakness, haven't you?"

"Forgive me, My Liege!! I swear I will break ties with Prince Argon from here on and swear my loyalty to no one else but you." The high demon begged for his life, knowing that Zeke was not one to mess with. "I swear on my own lifeblood. You can take full control of my mind, Prince Ezekiel. That should be enough to make you trust me again right, my Liege – ahh!!!" A bloodcurdling scream spilled from the high demon's lips.

Zeke had plunged a knife into the man's eyeballs without even a blink of his eyes. His dangerous, heartless gaze stared down at the Duke.

"I, Ezekiel, never give any second chance to traitors. Never!" He declared and the man's agonizing scream filled the massive throne hall as Ezekiel gave the Duke a slow, painful death. And that had all the still living demons around to feel shivers and fall silent in fear. "You know why…? If they can betray you once, they can always do it again. So I'd rather avoid the trouble. Wouldn't you agree as well?" Zeke snarled softly. However, every single one of his words were heard by those around and they shivered strongly in trepidation.

When the Duke's lifeless body crumpled to the bloody floor, Zeke lifted his face and stared at the empty throne.

After dismissing everyone, Ezekiel took his robe off and discarded it. It had been soaked in the blood and gore of others. He hated demon's blood getting onto his skin, so he always puts on cloaks when he knows he was going in for another slaughter.

When he took his gloves off, his eyes caught onto something shiny - his wedding ring. He stilled and stared at it. Lately, he was beginning to feel numb. The endless killings and wars had started to make him feel nothing. The almost daily occurrence of bloodbath had been numbing his conscience and he felt like one day, he would actually forget how it feels like to feel something anymore.

Zeke froze at what he had heard being reported by his subordinate. But his shoulders eventually relaxed and a lopsided smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

"I know you wouldn't even consider believing it… so we just went ahead and had her brought along with us." Ruka continued, obviously knowing already that Zeke will just laugh off at what he had reported.

But Zeke did not react and just nonchalantly discarded his dirty gloves. To him, what they were telling him was impossible. Just plain impossible that even though deep within, he desperately wished that it was true, he would not even dare consider taking a look at the woman they were referring to.

"Stop with that nonsense and have someone clean up this mess." Ezekiel's deep and emotionless voice rang out. "Also, have Archer prepare for war –"

"Ezekiel!!" echoed a familiar beautiful sound - a sound that Ezekiel had resigned himself to not hear ever again while he was in this world. A sound that instantly pierced through his numbing soul. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
