67 Captured?!

Angelica's eye twitched when she felt the spot light had shifted to her. It made her uncomfortable and jittery but what could she do.

"Duke... if you don't want to take fine!" She glared at the childish man and turned away to continue her plan.

This was the last discussion anyway. And tonight the plan will be in action. She'll just ignore this person and escape the room after she was done.

"Lance... I've given you time to deal with nobles and the witches. But since uncovering their base is hard will set Plan A into motion and then move onto Plan B. Be sure to be ready. We're up against a nasty hag." She spat out distastefully.

Yup, she hated Carmelina Vanberg. And she was dead set that she was the culprit in this mess. But killing her will be a challenge.

Well... she'll just have to try. Even if her limbs left her body she can always attach it again using her blood magic. But if her head is gone then she definitely be dead.

She let out a shaky breath and finished the conversation and dismissed everyone and that was her cue to escape.

Or so she thought.

"Waaah!" She was dragged right back into the room by the waist and the door slammed shut.

Everyone: "....." they pity the princess who was caught in the arms of the devil.

"Close and Seal."

"Not this again!!" She yelled angrily and got out of his arms. She stepped back away from the man who was near the door.

"What now? Do you have a problem with the plan?"

"No. I have a problem with the woman who's desperately hiding away from me." Ivan retorted as he leaned against the door.

"What?" She played dumb and it seemed that something within him snapped.

Taking a step forward, Angelica had already moved behind the table to keep a distance from him. Ivan looked at the woman speechless. Wasn't she acting silly? This made him feel things and he wanted to tease her.

Fine, he'll just stop.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"I'm not." She wasn't lying... well maybe.

Ivan raised a brow and took a step closer and watched her look at him with a frown.

"You are. I haven't even seen your face for two weeks accept the time we have these meetings. Tell me.. is it not that your avoiding when I'm throwing it out right now?"

Angelica thought about her response for a second.

"I'm really busy as well... like making potion and poisons and stuff. It not like I was avoiding you... I was just busy that's why you couldn't see me.." what a smart answer Angelica. She mentally patted her shoulder for her wittiness.

Ivan only raised brow at her and stepped closer making her left eye twitch.

This... she didn't like it one bit and her magic was sealed.

Ivan decided that catching her would be the best way. He never thought he would act this way, it was fun for some reason and he can't say that he won't pull this again. He walked towards the table and started circling it and Angelica copied him by keeping a distance.

"What are you doing? Stay away!" She glared at the man.

"I don't want to. And why are you running? Didn't you just say you weren't avoiding me?" He narrowed his eyes, "Oh I see. So you are avoiding me." And he suddenly disappeared from her sight.

"Waaah!!" She felt his arm wrap around her waist and stomach and she was picked up. Completely startled by him.

"Don't do that!! Let go!!" She yelled but the man didn't budge a bit.

"I feel like only harassment will get your attention, which I find quite enjoyable but not as great." Ivan said all of a sudden to the woman caught in his arms. He put her on the table to sit and trapped her, with her between his arms and facing him.

"At least you know it's harassment! So please stop!"

"Did you know that the more you say stop that more I want to do? I serious want to lock you up in a dark place with me so you could understand what I'm talking about!" Ivan growled in frustration.

Angelica a witch who has never understood a mans courting became confused. It wasn't that she was oblivious it was just that all the men she met in life were all trying to use her for their own good and some were just after her looks and body. That made her think that most men think that women are nothing but the inferior to them. She hated hat statement so she did things up and beyond.

She that no man can look down on her and her people.

But this man was completely different. He was mysterious and dangerous. A two face man that she absolutely hated. But she felt that he was slowly unlocking the chain and lock within her making her feel scared. Or at least conscious of him, making her take a second look.

"Do you mean a dungeon?" She asked confused by what he said.

Did he seriously want to lock her up in a dungeon for avoiding him? Wasn't that... taking it to far?

Ivan felt like a deflated balloon and hide his face into her shoulder, wondering what he should do.

Should he throw her on the bed and show her what he meant?

Nah, that would make him lose his gentlemen title in front of her. Even though he wasn't one bit of a gentleman. Just to her.
