28 A Cute Witch!

After seeing Angelica walk out of her inn during the afternoon. He got curious. And what can he do when he can't stop it? So he decided to follow her after much thinking.

He ditched Lance earlier and thought it would be great idea to tail her instead of doing paperwork.

- In The Office -

Lance looked at the empty seat and three dotes appeared on his head. His left eye twitched and the said person he was looking for wasn't here. He looked at the window and found it wide open and if he wasn't wrong that was really the way the Duke escaped.

Feeling his rage build up his magic spark around his body with yellow lightening. Fixing his glasses he decide it was the prefect time to give the Duke pay back for leaving his work unattended.

"I'll give 3 times more paperwork at the end of the day otherwise my name wouldn't be Lance Valdespino" he smirked with his evil smile and started laughing in a menacing tone.

His evil laugh scared the walking servants around him. They felt like shivering after hearing that cold laugh.

'It looks like the Duke Konstantin pissed him off again.' The servant thought with pity.

But they can also see why their Duke ran away every time, Sir Valdespino brought in 'work'.

Poor Angelica was oblivious to his intentions was currently was begin study like a rare artifact.

He watched her casually stroll the market buying various things. He saw her talk to a few people and then talk to a deaf old man using sign language. He was impressed.

After awhile he saw her walk away from the market and head to a bookstore he a visited before.

He had to admit that this woman knew exactly what she wanted. She didn't even hesitate to reach out a book and read it on the spot.

He sort of felt speechless, as she didn't even know that he was behind her.

He mischievously thought of something. He brought his face close to her ear and whispered.

"Lady An, watch out otherwise I may take advantage of you."

Angelica eyes widened and her face snapped towards the sound of the voice. She turned her head and instantly she came face to face with a handsome golden eye man. She was momentarily stunned and her brain overloaded. He mouth fell a gap.

He saw that she was in a dazed and grinned like a cat. But it also gave him a chance to study her face up close and he must say that she was the most beautiful woman he ever met in his life.

And also the most mysterious.

"How long will you stare?" He teased her and saw that her eye changed after saying that.

'Oh, she back..' he kinda felt disappointed.

"Wha- what are you doing?!!" She was kinda flustered and annoyed by his tone. She even covered her right ear he blew on. She had a red face and he could see that she was a bit mad.

"How would I say this? Hmm, how about I say that I'm interested in you as a person?" He answered.

"Weirdo!! Who ever does that to a person! You- how can you blow into someone's ear like that?!!" Angelica's mouth worked faster that her brain so whatever she said can only be regretful later.

He raised his eyes at her statement and wonder if she understood the underlying meaning in her words. But seeing her face he could say that she 100% didn't know!

He felt like teasing her now. He felt like a two horns and a devil's tail was attached to him. It was amusing to find a strong woman act like this.

But it also means she's never been hit on before. That was a good point.

"Hmm, what did I do?"

"That...You blew into my ear!" That's harassment you know?!

"But didn't I say you should be careful?"

"..I.. you..hmp!!" She gave up and ignore the man and decided to pick a few more books to read.

She walked right past him and head downstairs. She walked to the old man and asked if she could borrow it and the old man gladly said yes. She made a mental note in her brain to return it.

Angelica turned around to leave and once again collided into a hard wall. She felt her nose hurt and glared at the 'wall'.

"Can you not block to way you damn alley man? People come and go you know?" She hissed but the man just smiled.

"It's not alley man, it's Ivan. My lady" he said. He felt that he never had the chance to introduce himself due to her weird nicknames.

She rolled her eyes and left the man. She walked down the street and took in the view of the afternoon. She must say it's quite lovely. She turned around and notice the man following her and frowned.

"Why are you following me?"

"Am I? I thought this was the direction of where the fountain was."

'This man is annoying.' She thought.

'Now, now, Angelica. Just treat him like air and everything will be fine.' She cheered herself up.

She walked faster and away from the man. She was hungry and had no time to deal with a stranger who she barely met.

Angelica was dashed away, instantly became cute in Ivan's eyes. He chuckled at her fast walking pace. It seemed like she was escaping from a ferocious being.

'What a cute witch!' He thought.

Ivan speeded up his pace. He never found women amusing due to there double sided nature. But this one, she can be more mysterious than any women he met. For some reason he wanted to pull her by his side.

But then again this woman was to powerful and he was sure that she could escape without even trying.

Seeing Angelica ahead he called out to her, "Lady An."

Angelica stopped in her tracks and turned to the man with questioning eyes saying 'what'.

"Wanna have dinner together? I know this place well. Since your new here, why don't you join me." He gave a sweet smile and his handsome face lit up under the lights of the street. His black hair fanned his face and his golden eyes sparkled even more then before. She almost gulped.

Such a handsome man was definitely a sin!
