The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

An unknown amount of time passed by. The only thing accompanying me was the sound of dripping liquid that was coming from somewhere in my cell.

The sound generated by footsteps suddenly broke the silence around. I looked up quickly.

Staying alone in an environment like this cell has adverse effects on my mental health. Three people were at the entrance of my cell and their expressions didn't look friendly. One of them brought a key out of his pocket. He unlocked the bars of my cell. None of them said anything.

The sound of the key turning in its keyhole was prevalent.

When those guards brought me to this cell, they didn't lock the door with a key. It might be an automatic machinery or something. I stopped thinking about that.

I looked at the new arrivals with caution.

I didn't try to escape rashly. I wasn't so naive to think this place wasn't under lockdown.

There would be guards and surveillance everywhere. Besides, even if there was a chance to escape opens up, I wouldn't take it desperately. I want these people to let their guard down.

"I want to speak to the King. Please convey my words to him." I said.

After my words, silence filled everywhere. It felt like I was shouting into the void.

The three people that visited my cell started laughing loudly. Mockery colored their tone and voice heavily.

These visitors consisted of two men and one lady.noveldrama

These three people didn't have tails but they have identifying features. These features showed that they were part of the merfolk.

"What are you even saying? Can you hear yourself? You want to see the King? Wow." The man at the lead with golden hair chuckled.

He was the person that unlocked the bars at the entrance of my cell.

Suddenly, the smile on his lips was wiped off.

He looked at me with an oppressive gaze, "Just because of you, a small scale war with

the surface has started. You are not thinking that you would remain in this cell unharmed, are you?"

A bad feeling blanketed my heart.

"What do you mean?" I questioned as I took a step backwards.

The three of them advanced towards me. The man with the golden hair acted before I could blink.

His hand shot out and wrapped around my neck. His grip strong and crushing. Breathing was hard and I struggled instinctively.

Strength was leaving my body fast. I was basically standing upright by the strength of his arm.

Suddenly, his expressions changed and his fingers released me.

His two hands cupped his neck. He started breathing heavily.

"Johnson, what is wrong with you? Why are you holding your neck? Did she do something to you?" The only lady in their trio group asked in concern.

She shot a poisonous glance in my direction before focusing on her partner again.

The other man was looking at Johnson, the man with the golden hair with concern coloring his face too.

When Johnson released me, I inhaled any available air I could get my hands on.

My body was shivering for a moment. For a moment there, I had a feeling that

Johnson wanted to kill me and be done with everything.

After a few seconds, I have basically pulled myself together. The same thing could be

said about Johnson. He was looking at me with wary eyes.

"Something is wrong with her." Johnson said.

"What do you mean?" The other man in the group asked.

"I am not sure about my guess but I am going to test it out." Johnson said.

He approached me again. His hand moved before it swung across my face.

The force of the blow was considerable but it didn't cause injuries.

Johnson held back a little.

My teeth collided with each other and my head swung to the other side.

Suddenly, Johnson's head performed the same actions I did when he slapped me.

Me, the other guy in the trio group and the only lady looked at Johnson with wide eyes.

I could confirm some things.

The mark Killian left on my neck has been activated. This wasn't a guess anymore.

The first time can be a coincidence, the second time can just be a freak accident but the third time has to be the truth.

Happiness rushed into my heart.

How did the mark get activated this time?

This mark was something that would have been priceless and helpful after I left Killian's Palace and capital city by mistake.

"Every damage she sustains from a living being is reflected. People that attack her would be attacking themselves." Johnson said as he straightened his posture.

"That means our plans to teach her a lesson is going to be put on hold temporarily." The only lady in the group sighed.

"Yes. We have to report this discovery to the King or the Queen." Johnson said.

The other two agreed and the three of them left promptly.

My hand rose to my cheek. I caressed the area Johnson's hand landed on.

Soon, the cell returned to silence. The dripping sound seemed to have reduced.

I looked out of the tiny window with my palm still on my cheek.

The window didn't show much. I could only see darkness.

My mind raced with thoughts.

Since the merfolk can't hurt me directly, their options for torture and their next moves

has to be narrowed down. Right now, I was basically an hot potato.

Trying to predict things didn't help in this situation.

I had to continue waiting.
