Sold to a Prince!

Roman looked at the girl. Her thoughts and her hesitation were more than obvious to him. 

After all, unlike her who was young and naive, he was more than a hundred years old.

"Listen to what I am saying." He muttered snapping his fingers in front of Sylvia, trying to get her to look at him.

He needed to convey the gravity of the situation, but if she didn't want to see what was right in front of her, then what he says probably wouldn't matter.

"Before that boyfriend of yours can track you, the geezers would be on top of you like ants on sugar."

"You won't survive even a single hour, let alone a day and I am not joking." Roman sighed.

"If you don't come with me right now, it is the same as committing suicide. Same as dying? Or probably worse. I don't have to tell you right?"

"And this time, they will be prepared for me. Even I wouldn't be able to save you. Well probably."

Sylvia clenched her fists. She was not stupid. Everything he said, she already knew it…

"And besides…" Roman continued. 

He didn't want to tell this to her just yet but the girl looked like she was not ready to listen to him.

And in all honesty, the faith and trust she had in this person did not sit well with him.

Humans should never be trusted. This was something Roman knew only too well. 

"The day I saw you, I went back and did some digging. Your parents died young, am I correct?" He asked her.

Sylvia trembled. "Why… Why are you… " She had a bad feeling.

"They died to some sort of beast attack?"

She nodded.

"Hmmm… I was not able to confirm anything because the person responsible has covered his tracks quite well."

"But in my opinion, someone found out about you, killed your parents, and sealed your beast."

"That same person should have removed that seal as well."

"Did Mikel remove some sort of seal from your body?"

Sylvia looked terrified. "He did… but no… he would never"

"Let me ask you this… Did you feel this way about him before or after he broke your seal?" Roman asked interrupting her.

"What are you saying?" Her voice cracked.

"From what I can see… your boyfriend knew about you… used you and would have probably thrown you out when he was done with you."

"These feelings that you have for him are because of your beast that has been subdued and sealed within your body for years together."

"You are just confused. You are mistaking this man to be your mate. Your feelings for him, this blind trust you have in him are not real."

Sylvia looked petrified. "No, it's not like that. It's not like that." She muttered under her breath, shaking her head.

Roman gave her some time. She needed it for everything to sink in. He sighed looking into the distance as she sat like a statue, not moving even an inch.

But not long after, leaves rustled and a strong gust of wind whooshed past them.

Roman instantly stood up and muttered a spell, setting up a barrier. However, he didn't finish the spell and stopped mid-way.

"Good. You are here. This makes things a lot easier."

Sylvia turned her head and gazed at Roman in confusion. Her eyes then trailed to the side where he was looking and she shuddered.

"Mikel." Sylvia shouted and ran into the man's arms. "You are okay. You are alright." Tears streamed out of her eyes as she hugged him tightly.

The other party, however, stood frozen. His gaze was on Roman.

"How did you get here so fast? Hmmm?" His brow cocked, Roman, breaking the silence first. "Let me guess. Some sort of slave bond?" He added, answering his own question.

Mikel remained silent. His coal-black eyes simmered as he steadily gazed ahead. However, Sylvia defended him, on his behalf.

"I knew about it. He told me and only then did that. He even offered to remove it."

Roman chuckled and then he threw his head back and laughed. "Sure he did. Did he also get what he wanted from you?"

Sylvia bit her lips, knowing what Roman was talking about. "That's none of your business."

Roman chuckled. "There is no point in talking to you." His gaze landed on Mikel as he arrogantly added. "You. I am asking you. Did you get what you want from her?" 

A strong and domineering aura surged from his body, emanating a violent blood thirty pressure. The sheer power of it made Mikel crumble and fall on his knees.

But not stopping there, Roman materialized a ball of condensed swirling energy in the palm of his hand. His eyes were cold and frozen like a sharp unsheathed sword.

Mikel still remained silent. He didn't utter one word. He kept his gaze steady at the beast in front of him.

Sylvia, however, couldn't remain calm. She couldn't understand why these two were fighting.

"What are you doing? Please. Please. Just stop." She screamed at the top of her lungs, kneeling in front of Mikel, but no one was listening to her.

"You said I was free now. I was free to choose what I wanted to do. This is what I want to do."

"Please. I want to be with him. Please just leave us." She begged, but it looked like her words were only falling on deaf ears.

Roman did not even spare her a glance. His gaze was fixated on Mikel like a beast that was stalking his prey.

An ominous aura of death hung in the air, and the both of them did not make a move. 

Seconds slowly ticked by, as Sylvia continued to beg and plead. 

Her eyes went back and forth between the two as she panicked, tears streaming from them. 

Again and again and again, all she could do was just cry and beg. She clenched her fists, hating herself for being this weak. 

She started hitting the rough ground, unable to bear it any longer, punching it until her knuckles bled.

Both Roman and Mikel turned to look at her at the same time, one in surprise while the other in agony.

And in the end, Mikel was the first to relent. He clutched the woman in his arms tightly and pushed her away. 

"Go with him." He said, leaving Sylvia completely speechless.
