Chapter 332 - King Of The Dark Faes (Part II)

"Why are you here?" Evie asked again, pulling his attention back to her.

"I am here to lend you a hand, young queen." He replied. "It seems that my son is giving you one hell of a tough time."

Hearing him said the word 'son' made Evie suddenly felt a little emotional. She had heard from Claudius that because of the punishments from using such forbidden spells, Gav would never be able to see his parents ever again.

But she tried her best to stay calm. "Yes. He's such a big bad asshole. Imprisoning me against my will and creating all these damned barriers to anger me." She said in a firm, frustrated voice.

Belial suddenly laughed. "Right. He indeed is an asshole from what I am seeing now. I can't believe my son dared to lock you up and anger his wife to this extent." He looked so amused but when his smile faded, his gaze on Evie became so gentle and Evie remembered the way her father looked at her whenever he felt proud of her. King Belial's gentle and soft look somehow gave her the same kind of feeling and it warmed her heart without knowing why.

"It's really amazing that you actually managed to break the barrier on your own, young queen. It's very impressive I must say." Belial praised her. "It seems my instinct to delay from rescuing you was right all along."

Evie creased her brows. "What do you mean? Delay?"

"Claudius told me about what had happened," Belial began. "And since it's my son who created the barrier, I know that I would be the only one who could break it and no one else. However…" He chuckled mirthfully before continuing. "Turns out that I might be wrong after all. It seems you're an exception to the rules of dark magic since you actually managed to break it."

"Actually, technically speaking, it was not exactly me who broke the barrier. My dragon was the one who managed to break it because he's outside of the barrier. If Onyx was inside the barrier with me, maybe all of us would still be inside right now."

"Hmm… so is this why you decided to leave without awakening the tree of life?"

"Yes. I feel that it would be pointless since no one is inside the barrier of the tree. He used a protection barrier on it so it's only possible to break it if someone could break the spell from the inside, isn't it?" Evie reasoned out.

"Yes, you are right." Belial nodded. "So young queen, you're planning to just go to war even if you know your people will end up losing their magic?" The question he posed was sharp and to the point.

Evie fell silent for a while and just stared at him. She considered whether to play it dumb and not say anything or to reveal more of her plans to him.

"I don't really have a choice but do that. However, I do have an alternative plan."

"And that plan is… you ride your dragon and find my son while the light faes march onwards to the capital? You will find your husband and then proceed to beat him up to make him release the barrier on the tree of life. Then you'll fly back again once that happens, and you successfully awaken the tree."

Evie could only look at him with wide opened eyes. Was he a mind reader?! Do the dark faes have in their possession a spell that could be cast to read minds?

Belial chuckled again, looking impressed. "I am really awed. My wife would surely love to meet to you." he commented, and Evie felt another surge of emotions welling up within her at the mention of Gav's mother. She felt as though she wanted to meet with his mother too.

"However," Belial's face became serious. "I must say that your plan is dangerous. I commend you for that and I can't blame you for formulating such a plan because I know there is no other choice available for you at that time."

"At that time?" Evie's voice grew hopeful as she looked on at King Belial.

"Yes… because, now you have another choice to choose from. Right here." And he pointed at himself and grinned, flashing that same devilishly handsome smirk that Gavriel loved to wear when he was being mischievous.

"You will break that barrier!" Evie exclaimed and the dark fae king nodded.

"Didn't I say I'll lend my daughter in law a hand? This way, it would be less dangerous for you. And I wouldn't have let you travel by yourself, even if you were accompanied by all your dragons. Anyway, it is something that I can do." King Belial even gave a minute but elegant shrug of his shoulders as though what he offered to do for Evie was not a big deal.

A wave of relief so poignant washed over Evie immediately. Of course, she had already weighed all the risks involved with her original plan. She knew it was perilous, not only for her but for her people as well. Leaving them marching without magic being replenished is a huge risk. Moreover, if something unexpected happened and she had to spend more time trying to find Gav or persuading him to release the barrier… anything could happen. But King Belial was right, there was no other choice for her before he came.

That was why she is feeling incredibly relieved now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Evie expressed and nodded in gratitude and Belias smiled, walking closer to her.

"My pleasure, young queen. I'll do anything to help. Because if I don't, my wife will get upset and she might ignore me for a long time." He said in playful tone, winking at her. "Now shall we make a move? I believe you're in quite a bit of a rush, my dear daughter in law."
