"You won't hurt me" she smiled.

"Don't be so sure" he retorted.

"You could never" she leaned closer and Eason stared at her while she chuckled.

When she moved closer he drove the stone closer and she felt it's light pierce on her stomach immediately her hand grabbed his hand her lips met his surprising him then picking up a broken wood she slashed his neck then pulled back before she could get off him Eason threw her off and held his neck which was oozing blood.

"You get too easily distracted" she smiled and he glared at her.

"I didn't expect you to slash me" he retorted.

"Not expecting will only get you killed" she smiled and Eason's glare didn't reduce she had kissed him just now as a distraction to cut his throat he could still feel the brush of her soft lips.

Without sparing her another glance Eason walked away with large steps ignoring the blood trickling down his neck.

Gwen woke up first and looked at Zed beside her who was still asleep he seemed to be tired yesterday but that didn't spoil their night. She smiled at herself happy that she was able to get him again but she knew it was the last time and immediately got up wearing her clothes she dissapeared she was able to conjour a spell that let her walk the land of the living.

Dissapearing from there she had already planned on escaping from the underworld as she could now stay in the living world she moved over to a far away kingdom the kingdom of Aristocra seemed peaceful and a perfect place for her to hide from Zed.

When Zed woke up he didn't feel the heat he felt yesterday as the drug had slowly dispersed after what Gwen did with him. His eyes were red she actually drugged him then slept with him.

Zed bathed himself without coming out from the shower he couldn't believe that she got the chance to touch him again.

After getting dressed he entered the underworld looking for Gwen but she seemed to have dissapeared better for her own good.

He was about leaving when he bumped into Livermoore.

"Lord Zed" Livermoore smiled.

"That should be king to you" Zed said.

"Not for long" Livermoore murmured but ZED caught it.

"Did you follow my orders?" Zed asked ignoring the previous statement he made.

"All has been set my...king. We are ready for the war" Livermoore replied and Zed nodded before leaving.

He was aware that his step father Erik was fueling the people's mind against him and who knew what he told them.

Zed recalled what elder Marvin said and did he wasn't going to let him go free but Pharian could not do his dirty work disappearing from the underworld he didn't appear at the castle but at elder Marvin's house the man was about to leave for work when he saw Zed in his living room.

"My Prince!" He gasped in fright.

"Marvin are you leaving already?" It was Marvin's wife's voice he didn't want the woman to witness what was going on so he shut the living room door then turned to Marvin with a smile.

"Si.....si...sire" the man stammered.

"You seemed to be excited to talk yesterday what's wrong now?" Zed asked walking closer to Marvin who bowed his head.

"I am sorry... my... lord... it... was... what... we... were... assigned... to... do" the man was shaking like a scared rabbit and Zed was getting irritated.

"Assigned by who?" Zed asked.

"My...lord" the man stammered and Zed punched the nearest wall.

"You better speak properly and not like a lost child" Zed glared at the man.

"Y...yes My Lord, some of the neighbouring kingdoms have been trying to bring you down for sometime now and some of the elders and kingsmen are working with them to dethrone  you" The elder confessed.

"And who do they feel would be the right replacement?" Zed asked.

"Leonard Horne" Marvin replied and Zed's eyes slightly narrowed at the name.

"Where does this Leonard stay?" Zed asked.

"I am unaware my lord" Marvin said and Zed sighed.

"You have been of great help Marvin but unfortunately your mouth was too forward" Zed said walking closer to him and Marvin knew his end was near.

"Please sire forgive your servant" the man cried desperately begging for his life and it began to irk Zed.

In one swift movement he twisted Marvin's neck and the man fell dead on the floor.

He unlocked the door where he trapped Marvin's wife before disappearing.
