'Oh shit!'
Medusa saw those beads floating up in the air which made her heartbeat rapid. She was unfamiliar with that kind of magic or even it was one of that kind. The succubus grew worried and doubted her own magic, because it had never happened that she was unable to figure out her ways with anybody.
The woman was well aware that she had to stay low key, but Medusa was willing to use her magic visibly. All it would take was to disclose her identity which would in turn cost her life. Perhaps. But then again something was supposed to be done, because if Medusa did not budge and released Aiden the guard would definitely attack her.
'What the hell!? Is he really going to kill me just because I had my little play with this jerk? Why?'
Medusa' focus diverted from Aiden's subconscious mind to thinking about the reason for the ruckus. She was unable to comprehend why someone would go rogue over a "little humiliation."
'Is he some sort of celebrity or what? Why even is there a guard anyway?'
She thought about the cause of the whole situation and intended to figure out how far the guard could go. After all he would not go that far just to kill someone who has the hold of Aiden's, his master's senses.
Medusa directed her focus towards the guard and saw the floating beads being aimed at her. However she was sure that the fool would not dare to hurt her because Aiden was standing close to her. Would he dare to hurt his master? But when Medusa saw him lifting his hand up in the air, the succubus knew that the guard had either gone mad or was planning something else.
She called out to Aiden before it was too late, Medusa could feel that he was capable enough to fight the guard. Their brief handshake made her realize that she could use him in that matter. All she had to do was to wake him up from her hypnotism which could eventually hinder her task. Aiden on the other hand was unable to come out of her charm.
Medusa continuesly tried hard to call him loudly acknowledging that she had to keep him trapped In her spell. And only gave limited power to use his magic and that too according to his own will. Before she could be turned into a dead body, and the beads could reach her silhouette she called out to Aiden audibly enough for everyone around to hear.
"Aiden!"
The lethal pearls halted right in front of Medusa as a shield appeared in front of her. Medusa was unable to comprehend for a moment and inhaled sharply on being saved by someone. The woman turned around slowly and saw Aiden standing behind her with his eyes filled with rage and turned crimson red.
'Finally he is awake! That was a close shave.'
The succubus was elated upon her skills of bringing him back to senses, however the guard seemed stunned which Medusa could figure out clearly by his widened eyes. There was utter shock on his face upon seeing his master giving importance to someone who literally just humiliated him.
"How dare you touch someone who is dear to me?"
Aiden yelled at the guard who was stunned to see the reaction from his master. The succubus was also elated to see that her plan worked and Aiden was still under her spell. Which she was indicated by the statement said by Aiden, who stood right behind Medusa with his arm flung out.
The woman's group tightened around the rope which was still tied around Aiden's neck. Medusa continuesly showed her authority and claim over Aiden, who was actually just a slave of her charm. Aiden stepped forward with his arm flung out towards the shield which was casted by him.
"But master…!"
The guard finally uttered some words which made Medusa scoff at his attitude. How dare he never respond to her but spoke in front of Aiden to display his innocence. Whereas Aiden rolled his eyes and clenched his fists which made the shield whirr a bit. And all these pearls broke into numerous pieces and vanished into the thin air like dust.
"Kneel! And apologize to her."
Aiden stepped forward but stopped at the stairs when the rope around his neck pulled him back gently. He was still under her spell which prevented Aiden from speaking anything against her. However Aiden was supposed to protect her as part of Medusa's spell, which he did and now made his foolish guard to apologise to her.
Medusa stood forward and placed her hand over his shoulder making everybody clear that he belonged to her now. Whereas her guard knelt unwillingly on his one knee and followed Aiden's command of showing his apology. The audience seemed to be stunned and shocked by the sight because Aiden was known not to take sides with anyone.
It was beyond their expectations and the ability to accept that he could a person like Aiden protect and take sides with Medusa. But then again anyone could do anything for Medusa because of the attraction which drew them towards herself.
"I apologise, miss."
The guard lowered his head and stared his apology in a loud voice indicating every single person who was hiding nearby. Whereas Medusa was willing to keep Aiden now for longer. The woman placed her arm on his shoulder and accepted the apology.
"Out!"
Aiden shouted at the guard with his crimson eyes glaring at him. The guard immediately stood up and stepped back to turn around. It was wise of him to just leave for now, when his master himself did not want to be saved. Medusa smiled at Aiden and gently pulled the rope around his neck which snagged his attention.
"Yes, my dear?"
He turned around towards Medusa with his eyes returning back to normal crimson shade. Medusa gestured him to come closer with her index finger as the succubus smirked meaningfully. She had some other plans to use Aiden's status to benefit Kayden.
