Worldly Overlord

"Huh? Did you hear something?"

"No, don't try to act smart I can't let you go after telling you all this."

Then their gaze lowered toward the lady on the bed, and they were startled when they saw that the eyes of the lady were twitching showing signs that she was about to wake up.

Devon looked to his right and couldn't find the lad anymore.

"Son of a bitch."

It was not even up to a second after the lad disappeared. The young lady got up from the bed slowly, her eyelids were starting to open, she looked around trying to figure out what was going on.

After some minutes.

"Where is this?"

Mae looked around and realized she was in a cave, she was astounded. The Cave was well decorated, it was the kind of room meant for newlyweds or coming of age ceremonies. The whole floor was covered with roses, there was even candlelight all around it looked so beautiful.

She turned to look if anybody was in the cave with her, she saw a boy right behind her with his face down. He was like a kid who was caught doing something bad.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?"

After checking her body and making sure everything was alright with her and also there was no bloodstain on the bed. She heaved a sigh of relief.

"I... I... I can explain."

Devon stammered, this was the first woman he ever spoke to after his mother and his sister, so he was nervous.

"You better have a good reason and tell me how I got here?"

Devon's face was still down, he just couldn't look at her at all. Looking at any other woman except his mother and sister still felt strange to him.

Anyway, since that lad ditched him, so why should he take the blame. He started explaining the whole thing to her, the two men who dragged her in, the boy that was here as well. He told her everything.

'All this is because of you father, if not I won't even take a look at that brat for even a second.'

Mae murmured that to herself, she clenched her hand so hard that blood was starting to come out from her palm. Knowing she couldn't do anything to the lad at this moment, that was the only way to pass out her frustration.

"Who is that boy anyway?"

Devon could not take the awkward silence anymore, the tension he was receiving at the moment was increasing with each breath. He decided to speak first.

"None of your business."

Mae looked at the boy in front of her, she noticed his head was down the whole moment. She began to wonder if something was wrong with him.

Don't tell me this is his first time talking to a woman.

"Who are you and what are you doing?"

"I'm Aiden, and I live here."

She was about to ask him why he lived here until she felt a change in the environment.

Mae pulled him out of the cave and ran immediately when she felt the energy she was sensing was getting closer meaning people were around. The effect of the drug had yet to wear off, so she was not at her best, her enemy could take advantage of this situation and deliver a fatal blow.

Mae could always sense good energy from a bad one, she knew the people coming were not here for a good cause.

That was the reason why she did not attack Devon earlier, she knew he was innocent about the matter.

"Why are you slowing down?"

Mae was starting to lose her patience when she saw that Devon was slowing her down. Then it came to her that he was just a mortal.

"Get on my back now."

When she felt the energy getting closer and closer, that was the only option available.

Devon was deeply attracted to her, who wouldn't by the way the lady was gorgeous. But he knew if he took this step, there was no turning back. That was like admitting to her that he was weak.

Women wanted men who could protect them from danger, not the other way around. That is how it has always been.

"Okay, thank you."

He hopped on her back immediately, who cares about how it has always been. Men should protect women, once in a while women should also do the protecting.

Not expecting him to really get on her back even if she said so. But there was nothing she could do at the moment. She ran with all the power she had left.

Tssssssskkkkkkk!!!!!

"Bend down now."

Devon screamed to her, seeing that. He wasn't getting any reply, he pushed her making both of them fall on the ground.

A sword flew right on top of them.

They had caught up with them, two men were standing at the front of Devon of Mae. From the men's clothes, you could tell there were assassins.

"Mae Silas, I must say that drug really did weak you down."

"Who could have thought that the great Mae would end up in a state like this."

"The odds are very low."

The two men jested.

Mae managed to get up with great

difficulty.

Looking at the boy, who was unconscious after the fall. It seemed he fell down really hard. Unlike her brothers, Mae believed that good people still existed in the world. She knew if she gets killed now, the boy's life won't be spared.

"Did he send you here?"

The two assassins looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Do you think we are some mediocre Assassin?"

"This is an order from above."

Mae frowned, as the main member of a big family. She knew what order from above meant.

"If that's how it's going to be, I guess there is no other way."

Not waiting for a single minute to pass she brought something that looked like a pill from her sleeve, then swallowed it immediately.

The two men's faces turned ugly, it seemed they knew what the pill was for.
