Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

Chapter 181 - Friendship

"I found it on the way," Kruel answered simply.

"Then how did you know that this is mine?" Genie furrowed her eyebrows.

"I have a sharp memory," the man cut the answer short.

"Ahhh.." Genie was taken aback. Does he mean that he has noticed that bracelet and he remembered it from then?

Genie was surprised with his observation power.

"Then how did you come in?" Noticing the bracelet was one thing but how did he enter the castle and even her courtyard.

Surly no guards would have allowed him inside no matter what. They would have taken the bracelet and sent him away.

At most, they would have given him a small reward for bringing the bracelet.

"By walking," Genie was busy thinking of all kinds of possibilities when she heard what he said. 

She blinked a few times," I don't want to know that. What I meant is, didn't anyone stop you from entering?" 

The man was simply on other wavelengths to come up with such answers.

"They didn't," He replied.

Genie was simply dumbfounded hearing his answer. That wasn't possible, the guards in her courtyard were all selected by Donovan himself. They were best of the best, sharp and capable. Even an ant can not be passed through their watch so how did such a big man come in without being noticed by them?

"How could that be? Are all guards sleeping?" Genie instantly became alert. She turned around to go out but Kruel said, "They are awake and doing their duties properly," 

Genie's lips twitched as she heard that, 'if they were doing their duty properly you wouldn't have managed to walk this deep in the castle.

Kruel had the same indifferent expression on his face as he gave her answers one by one as truthfully as he could.

Well, the guards can not be blamed after all they were charmed by Kruel to let him in. And about the bracelet, he knew it was hers because he had made her lose it on her way.

*Recap*

Genie stood up to leave the celebration.

Kruel, who was admiring the view of Genie's face, narrowed his eyes.

In this boring place, there was nothing that could catch his attention apart from her face, Which filled with different expressions as she look around her. Different expressions were changing her face as per her thoughts. There was fascinating, sadness, curiosity and so on.

But suddenly she decided to leave and then stood up and started to walk away. 

He saw the girl walking away speedily towards the castle.

Since his amusement was going away there was no more need for him to stay.

He decided to stand up and start to leave but suddenly a mischievous thought crossed his mind.

Kruel stopped in his tracks and turned around. Genie was still in his line of sight.

The corner of his lips rose and he swept his finger and thumb.

"Ahhhh…" 

The maid walking near Genevieve lost her balance and tripped. Genie extended her hand to catch her and the maid held her hand but in the hassle, the bracelet from Genie's hand fell.

The maid had a confused expression on her face as she couldn't understand how she lost balance suddenly.

But who knew that she was just being played by Kruel to fulfil his aim.

None of them noticed anything in there and left with haste.

Kruel walked towards the fellin bracelet and bent down. He took the shiny thing and observed it carefully before putting it away securely in the pocket.

After that, the man leisurely walked in the direction of the back of the castle and followed the path Genie had taken. His lips chanted a small spell and with that none of the guards stopped him as he walked inside. As if they couldn't see him at all.

Kruel followed Genie towards her courtyard and then he turned in the direction of the opposite side. He walked around a bit till she reached the backyard and entered from there.

He stood there in her backyard under the shadow. Even though he has followed her in, he didn't feel like going into her chamber. 

But to his surprise, the girl came out herself from inside and sat down near the small Lake.

She was dressed in plain nightwear. Previous ornaments and the heavy dress were removed and now she looked like a small goddess of naiveness.

He had no intention of going to her and meeting her but suddenly she noticed her presence.

The girl was sharper than she looked.

And that's how he ended up here, making that foolish conversation.

"Hmm, anyway. Thank you so much for this," she raised the bracelet and shook it in her hand.

The small bells attached to it rang instantly making a pleasing sound.

Krule was the one who carried it in but he never realized before that the bells can make such a pleasing sound.

"Since you made efforts to bring my thing to me I should thank you properly. Tell me if you need anything," Genie said. 

"I don't need anything," Krule shook his head. He just came here on impulse because he didn't have anything in his mind.

"How could that be? There must be something that you need right," Genie furrowed her eyebrows.

How could there be anyone who doesn't need anything?

Even she, the Princess of North won't say that she didn't need anything.

"Think carefully, I'm not in a hurry," Genie said. She wanted to help him after all he looked so ragged in his clothes.

He was still dressed in those ragged clothes which were dirty and there were even a few holes.

"I don't need anything," but Kruel kept his momentum.

"Hmm," she looked down. Genie thought that he was being shy to ask for something or maybe hesitating.

"How about I give you new clothes," so Genie comes up with something.

Kruel furrowed his brow when he heard that. Then he looked down and saw what he was wearing.

Ohh he forgot that he has used magic to change his clothes. After all, what he was wearing in the celebration was not suitable for the image Genie had of him.

"I don't need clothes, I'm happy with whatever I have," but krule again shook his head.

Geniebecomeses disappointed by his constant rejection.

Seeing her face dropping, Krule smiled.

"I don't want anything material but there is something that I carve for," just as Genie was about to give up on pursuing him, Kruel spoke up.

Genie raised her eyes as he said that.

"Is that so? What is that?" She asked curiously.

"Do you want a job, or want to enter the army?" Genie asked. He looked so well built and healthy to become a soldier so she thought he might need work.

Plus she couldn't sense the dragon on him which means he was human. 

"No I don't need that," but the man again shook his head.

"Then what is it?" Genie was being impatient now.

"I can say but I don't think you can give me what I want," the man pursed his lips.

"How did you come to that conclusion? I'm the princess of the North empire. Is there anything I can't provide?" Genie lifted her chin proudly.

"Well if the princess is so sure then let me ask," Kruel smiled seeing her proud expression.

"If you really want to give me something then give me your friendship," he blurted out.

Genie who was eagerly hearing him whipped her head hearing that.

"What did you ask?" She looked at him in shock.

"Didn't you hear me clearly? Let me rephrase it. I want you to become my friend," Kruel leaned in a bit and brought his face near her.

There was quite a height difference between them and thus when he leaned in Genie looked even small.

Krule has a unique aura around him that can frighten anyone but he found that the girl standing in front of him wasn't least affected by it. 

Which was a bit strange for him.

"A friend?" On the other hand, Genie was shocked when she heard his request.

She has imagen so many things from him to ask but never to become a friend.

As if what he said was foreign to her and she couldn't understand the word friend anymore.

" Yes I don't have any friends and no one likes to become my friend," the man said looking at her.

His face was looming above her at a very close distance.

From the distance, she could see the unique colour of his eyes.

Those amber eyes were sharp, the corners were so perfectly carved that they look like those eyes were of a sculpture, not a real man.

The droopy eyes were decorated with long and thick eyelashes and perfect thick eyebrows.

He was optimal for perfection. 

Genie has seen many handsome men but Kruel has a different kind of beauty in him.
