Chapter 176: Hugh’s Arc Part 4
Chapter 176: Hugh’s Arc Part 4
My hand pushed him even harder to the ground. My eyes could only disy disdain and bits of
murderous intent. My tone matched such external views.
Hugh: “Stay there, you worm.”
My eyes changed from a murderous re to a softer stare.
That same hand reached for her cheek, though she pulled away.
From her point of view, my face must have presented more of an unhinge than gentle calm.
Tears kept falling from those eyes. I could tell sadness continued and grew worse from the way her
mouth gripped the gag and her cheeks quivered.
I spoke with a gentle voice.
Hugh: “Don’t worry Sylphy, I would never harm you.”
My face, which was somewhat dark due to her uneasiness, rxed and my eyes looked deeply into
hers.
My hands reached once more and undid the gag. She coughed, taking some big breaths.
Hugh: “Are you alright..?”
She nodded. Her eyes didn’t want to look at my face. The gentleness in my voice changed quickly.
Hugh: “Did this worm hurt you.?”
She bit her bottom lip and looked away from my gaze. In frustration, I mmed my foot down on his
potbelly.
Hugh: “Did he touch you.?”
Sylphy: “He hasn’t done anything, we just came from the ve market.”
I got close trying to see the truth in her eyes.
Hugh: “There’s no way it took two weeks for you to be sold, so tell me the truth.!”
“It is.”
The man on the ground spoke with a quivering voice.
Sylphy: “He’s right.”
Her hands gripped together and her legs twitched in ce.
Sylphy: “They only sell ves once a month, they have arge auction and sell us to the highest
bidder.”
Hugh: “Look me in the eyes so I know whether your lying or not.”
Her eyes looked at mine and I could tell.
The re she presented seemed as though she didn’t want to bother.
“It’s the truth, I promise.”
The men that were still looking for her arrived and spoke.
“Demon King, we haven’t..”
I waved my hand and spoke.
Hugh: “Just shut up and get this trash out of my sight.”
“Yes, your highness.”
I red down at him and spoke.
Hugh: “You’re lucky I’m not having you killed.”
My men grasped the man by the shoulder and left.
I grasped Sylphy’s chain and pulled her face close to me.
Hugh: “Your mine now, you won’t be leaving me alone from now on.”
She looked down at the ground, her tone of voice seemed as though she was crying.
Hugh: “Does that mean I’m your ve too?”
My hand pushed her chin up and my eyes looked intently into hers.
Hugh: “No, but you’re not free either.”
I grasped her in one fell swoop, my hand around her waist kept her on my shoulder. Her butt was
facing where I’m facing.
Hugh: “Half of you go and destroy the ve auction, the rest follow me.”
Red: “Your highness, what if this causes problems with the rulers of thisnd, we are in a foreign
country?”
Hugh: “Just do it. If they ask questions just tell who’s will your acting on orders from..”
I spoke after I started walking.
Hugh: “We already took the Elven Continent, what’s another kingdom?.”
The man I sent found a nice inn and reserved an entire floor. My men escorted me down the hall
opening the door for me. I stepped in still holding Sylphy. The room I was in was good and quiet.
I slightly turned my head ring at the individual standing by the door.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Hugh: “Shut the door.”
He bowed and closed the door with haste.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
I dropped her off on her feet. My hands using a bit of mana tore the cuffs and chains from her limbs.
My hands reached for her neck, her eyes closed and her neck elongated. I could hear quiet moans as if
fearful I might hurt her.
Hugh: “Maybe I should leave this on..”
Her eyes opened and her hands grasped my shirt.
Sylphy: “Please release me, I don’t want to a ve any longer.”
Her tone was stricken with longing and sadness.
My hands quickly ripped the chain around her neck, she squealed as it happened, still fearful.
My hands ripped her clothes off if you call those rags cloths and she quickly fell to the ground. She was
crouching down trying to shield herself from my view. Her body was filthy and her slender back showed
signs of starvation.
My hands grasped her arms and pulled her up.
Sylphy: “No.!”
Hugh: “Stop fighting, and let me see! I need to make sure you''re untouched.”
I dropped her on the bed and she turned over in a fetal position.
I tried grabbing her arms but she pulled away.
Tears kept falling down her face, I could hear the sobbing pain in her voice. She couldn’t bear to look at
me as she spoke.
Sylphy: “Stop it, please. I’m not hurt... I’m not tainted...”
Sylphy: “What happened to the Hugh that was so sweet and innocent, what happened to my Hugh?.”
