WELCOME TO EVIL ✔︎《 EDITING》

A HIDDEN TRUTH

Eason had not seen Alvara after she gave him a wary smile before leaving his room.

That night he was about to take a stroll in the woods when he heard footsteps not to far from the caves following the footsteps he found Alvara walking in the dark woods.

What was she doing outside this late?.

He followed her and noticed she was carrying her clothes in a bag with her.

She was leaving the castle she didn't even tell anyone?.

He recalled what they spoke about that night. She was an orphan not knowing her parents and having no where to go. Was she leaving because of how he behaved in the morning?.

"Alvara" he called behind her and she stopped she had not heard him follow her because of she was lost in thought turning around her watery eyes met his.

Eason frowned when he noticed she had been crying silently because he hadn't heard any noise.

"Why are you leaving?" He asked walking closer.

"Don't take another step" her voice was harsh and he stood where he was.

"Alvara?" He called more gently.

"That's not my name!" She shouted at him and his eyes looked at her in shock he had never seen her angry before.

"What?" He asked.

"That's not my name don't call me that!" She said anger clear in her voice.

"Then what is?" He asked.

"It's not your business" she said coldly.

"Why are you outside following me, go back to your castle and enjoy your life" she said her voice sounded distant.

"Is this about this morning, the veil?" He asked.

"That veil is the only thing I have of who my parents where I was told my father used it to cover my face so I would not be discovered it was a large veil and it covered me completely I was a wanted child and he wanted me to be safe that veil is everything to me" she said her voice less loud because she could feel more tears coming out and she hated herself for crying she was never vulnerable infront of anybody she never let anyone see her when she cried and hoped her life was different.

"Al.... the veil was not misplaced it's with me" he admitted and her eyes snapped up to meet his.

"The veil is with me" he walked closer.

"Forgive me for the way I acted this morning I was suspicious of you so I behaved that way" he said.

"Is that why you always wear a veil?" He asked.

"There are many reasons I wear a veil" she said her voice less harsh she was glad the veil was safe.

"Don't cry it doesn't suit you" he said bringing his hands up to wipe her tears and she shut her eyes feeling his calloused fingers against her skin. Sometimes she wanted to be comforted instead of acting tough.

Using his hands he pulled off the veil she was wearing now while he stared at her delicate features pulling out the veil with him he wore it for her removing it from her eyes and covering her mouth.

"Thank you for keeping it" she said.

"Will you come back?" He asked.

"I don't know" she replied.

"Why not just stay you don't have to live like a scavanger" he said.

"It's exciting sometimes you should try it" she said smiling a little.

"I think I prefer my throne better" he replied.

"As I said, a child" she smiled and instead of frowning he smiled to see her acting like herself.

"So you lied to me about your name?" He asked.

"Alvara is a name the people of the street called me but my name is Desdemona" she said truthfully sitting down and he sat beside her not minding that they were in the woods.

"I like Alvara better" he said.

"I have no problem with you calling me that I also prefer it the people who wanted to kill me as a child know me as Desdemona I don't want them accidentally hearing it" she said and he nodded.

"I won't let them touch you" he said turning to face her and he watched her play with the veil.

He now understood why she acted like that but that symbol disturbed him.

Perhaps it was her father who worked for the demon Lord, it made more sense that way maybe that is why she was wanted.

People those days tried to wipe out all the people that worked for the demon Lord.

"What would you do if the people that wanted me dead appeared now?" She asked pulling off her veil to feel the evening breeze.

"Like I said I would protect you I won't let them touch you" He said and she smiled which he returned and immediately he did she pressed her lips to his surprising him.

Seeing her not move back but instead she leaned closer into him his hands encircled her waist before kissing her back.
