Chapter 155: Arioch’s Plans
While Thoedus was putting the binding spell on the Dark Mage, Alexandra sent the Dark Mage to the Brume Thicket.
The last time she was trapped in the Brume’s Thicket, it was Morfan who opened the seal. Now Morfan is no more. Opening the seal needs higher level magic that would need first-class magicians, like elves. No elf is going to help Arioch, and so no one would be able to get his dear friend for him.
"Where is he?" Arioch lunged at her. He saw her sneezing and the next moment he felt strong mana around him which made the Dark Mage disappear. He doubted it was Alexandra’s doing.
"Where is the Dark mage? Where is he?" Arioch shouted at her. "What did you do?"
Alexandra stopped herself from smirking. This "man" is lunging at her to attack her, without having any proof that she did what he is accusing her of.
Raising his hand against a woman... Something Tubby will never do. It was odd for her to see Arioch with Tubby’s face doing that.
Theodus blocked Arioch out of instinct. It is not in him to watch a man hit a woman. It doesn’t matter if the woman is more powerful than the man. There are etiquettes to be followed.
But Alexandra stepped forward. She didn’t care about the etiquettes. She wanted to face Arioch when he is mad.
"Are you trying to hit me?" she raised her voice. She remembered every time Luke would act the same way to her in the past. Tubby would step in and Luke would back off. She didn’t want to be protected by someone else this time. She wanted to do it herself and show Arioch who she is and how she will not put up with his tantrums.
She is the one in control this time. Not him.
Who does he have for support now? What will he do without her?
"What?" Arioch knitted his brows realizing what he had just done. He quickly put his hand down. "I did not mean to, Alexandra," he spoke in a soft tone.
