Coulter glanced at her with his amused gaze, Medusa was still trying to pretend she was innocent. And knew nothing about whatever Coulter was trying to say and implied by his accusations. All because she had the lingering threat at the back of her head that Coulter would definitely try to harm her and Kayden if she accepted the truth.
It was not as if Coulter could not really spot her identity when it was pretty obvious by her voice. Coulter had numerous things to prove that she was a succubus but wanted to see how far she could go. It also raised his curiosity regarding why was she doing this? And why was she so loyal to Kayden?
After all, her race was not known to obey anybody at all. The people of Beelzebelle were strong and hot headed, they were warriors who had never known defeat. But perhaps there would have something which could make such a respectable race to bow down to a malicious mixed breed man like Evilrite.
The seeming weak villain would definitely not be a simple character if he could takeover such a realm. Because Beelzebelle was guarded by the realm spirits who were responsible for regulating power and protecting the kingdom. How did Evilrite even manage to get past that barrier, even though he did not succeed in claiming the throne.
Was there someone who was helping him from outside? Who it could be and why?
Nonetheless, now that Medusa was there in the vampire realm she could not let her identity to get disclosed. It would risk her survival there and she could not get herself killed in a most pathetic way. Especially not when a whole realm had hopes on her. It was impossible for her to let that happen.
Medusa was playing hard to get although it was not a tough facade to attempt. She had been doing it ever since her arrival in the realm and had remained successful about it. The woman felt like a challenge when Coulter tried to pry into her matter and called both of them in the lounge.
The succubus knew something like that will happen but she could also not avoid it. Sooner or later she had to do something about it and was also aware that Coulter will eventually look into both of them. It was obvious that he was suspicious of Kayden and despised him for making Lydia, his daughter. It was highly possible that he would consider her and Malcolm same.
Coulter was somehow not frightened or worried about anything. Because it was significant that if Medusa wanted to kill them all then she would have already done it. Why would she wait when they both were in his home and had a golden chance to do it.
But one thing still lingered in his mind regarding the reason why was she with Kayden. It was obvious that she would not have left her realm just to be his slave or anything similar. Even though she had limited option, the succubus would never stoop to such a low approach.
The woman belonged to a warrior race and those people preferred to die rather being enslaved. Medusa was not sure about the blood servant thingy too until she personally saw Kayden. She got smitten by his handsome face and facial features, even though his personality was rotten and at that time.
The succubus had no other option but to comply to the utter truth which was right in front of her. The heir needed to be protected at any cost which made her fully accept the truth. Medusa was willing to sacrifice herself in exchange of her kingdom and people if needed.
It was the very thought which made her comply with being Kayden's blood servant thingy. But it was completely another thing that he marked the succubus as his wife. However now it was Medusa' duty to protect Kayden and her secret along with Malcolm's identity as log as they all were there.
Thus the woman kept on playing hard shell which could not be cracked at any cost. But on the other side of the room was also someone who had never known defeat. There was no way Coulter was going to surrender and accept whatever bullshit Medusa would throw at him.
It was simply impossible for him not to catch the obvious signs regarding her identity. Although Coulter was not able to pick up anything from Malcolm which was strange. But at that moment he was not the focus of the chat, instead Coulter's whole attention was snagged by that dramatic succubus.
Medusa was playing sneaky and sly with him acknowledging that she had no dirt on her which Coulter could catch. After all, there was nothing which he could track as their bad deeds. Well, except for Jack's murder. But was it wise for Coulter to risk everything he had including his daughter's safety for the sake of catching an intruder?
The man had already witnessed a lot of injustice from the pentagon who was literally just creating soldiers. Precisely the monsters who were experts in slashing people's heads without any sense of right and wrong. And exactly that justified that forest where Lydia and Kayden has entered.
How even they entered such a place, you may ask. The pentagon worked in a weird way they did not mark such territories where the defected specimens were disposed. The warning indications would have raised a havoc and a curiosity among the citizens regarding what exactly was inside those areas.
That was why the authorities did not mark those discarded areas by highlighting the actual danger. Instead left them as they were for numerous purposes. If somehow entered those areas and encountered any of those affected specimens, the 'volunteer' would become another specimen to observe.
The justification given in such cases were stories told by people which were either silly or haunted. It created a wave of fear and unhealthy curiosity among people. Some refrained from entering those areas, but a few did and never came back. Now the fate of Lydia and Kayden was unclear too. Whereas Coulter, Medusa and Malcolm, all were unaware about it.
Whereas the future of Medusa and Malcolm was now in Coulter's hands since he was not willing to let them both leave just like that. There were numerous questions she had to answer and without satisfactory replies Medusa was not getting away.
"Oh, I haven't heard anything more ridiculous than this! Haha~"
The succubus deliberately laughed acknowledging that her voice would definitely stir some emotions within Coulter and will distract him.
Medusa's voice definitely and undoubtedly caused a bump in Coulter's jeans. She was right in her premise about the voice arousal thingy and it utterly causes some effect on Coulter. He averted his head and tried to fake a cough before resuming the speech with his further tactics.
There was no way he was surrendering or going to bow down to Medusa. Thus he continued his insistence but turned into a mild tone as he confronted Medusa.
"Haha! A resilient one, I see."
He looked straight into Medusa's crimson eyes making sure that she would flinch or show any similar emotions.
"Nevermind. I will spare you here on this one. But I must ask you about the reason why you are here in my house."
Coulter came straight on his point making Medusa smile a bit as she knew that would eventually come.
"I am quite sure you aren't here just because my daughters brought you along. It's ridiculous to believe that naive thing."
Coulter resumed his speech and waited for Medusa to react to his inquiry. But perhaps she had gotten immune to such tricks, all thanks to her own father.
The succubus looked back at Coulter and waited for him to finish his words. She could not afford to disclose or spill any secret just because she rushed the matter. The woman did not interrupt him, instead she focused on Coulter's expressions and the aura his body had been oozing.
"It is obvious that you and this guy….whoever or whatever he is, are not the people who could be forced to do anything. So, tell me Medusa….. I presume that is your name. Tell me why are you both here. What is the deal?"
Coulter used the powerful words to make sure Medusa understood everything. The succubus could clearly see the underlying meaning behind those words which appeared simple.
Medusa did not flinch or show any kind if discomfort from his words, instead she paused for a moment before replying to Coulter. She was aware that he will definitely find it out either way thus it was no point of hiding. The woman looked at Malcolm and gestured something to him from her eyes.
The particular action alert Coulter who had no clue what they both were going to do. But whatever it was he seemed to be ready to face it no matter what.
