Chapter 142: Mark of a dark mage

" Your majesty!"

" Brianna!"

Screams rang all over the forest before everyone including the omegas rushed towards the unconscious Bree, the only person who stayed stuck in the same spot was Harley as she stared at the melting remnants of the mountain golem. Her mouth was still agape in shock, she couldn’t believe that the Dragon Queen was able to take a monster as big as the sky down with just one move. At the same time, she couldn’t help but shudder in fear, if the matter of her releasing that beast in the open was ever known by anyone then she was sure that Bree might slice her down just like she sliced the mountain golem.

Monster.... That woman was nothing but a monster.

" You know, you can look a bit cheerful," said a voice in her ears causing Harley to jump in the air. She turned around in a jiffy and stared dumbstruck at the maid standing behind her as she asked loudly, " What are you doing?"

" What do you think I am doing?" said the maid with a haughty snort. " I was going to rush towards the queen but I saw that you haven’t moved, that was why I stayed with you, I was slightly worried that you will be startled if I was to leave you behind but looks like my good intentions are going to be wasted on you. But honestly, if you don’t want to be mauled by them, you better hitch those lips up and smile like you are the happiest instead of looking like you lost something precious."

The blonde maid only said those words carelessly but Harley who had a guilty conscience jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and angrily snarled, " What do you mean by that? I am not... I never... I was just surprised nothing else and I am not the only one who was surprised by what just happened, everyone was just as surprised. I mean it, so don’t be so noisy and create trouble for no reason."

After saying this she turned around and ran away towards the crowd.

The maid who was shouted at raised a brow as a snicker escaped her lips... "Just surprised huh? I might look like this but I can at least differentiate between the expression of watching your grandmother die in front of you and being just surprised little one..." this time when the maid spoke, the voice was no longer soft and high in pitch instead a low yet rich in timbre voice came out of her mouth just like that of a man.

With his expression slightly amused, the man dressed in a maid’s uniform stared at Harley’s back just as he was going to turn around, a breeze fluttered by exposing Harley’s neck that was covered by her long angelic white hair and he paused. Not because he was attracted to that pale, swan-like neck but because there he noticed something that shouldn’t have been there in the first place——

Half moon drawn with the blackest ink, covered by writings that could only be found in the books of ancient dark magic—- both ends of the moon were connected by a small curved line dotted with small stars that seemed to be bleeding.

Surprised the man blinked but when he looked at the same spot, the mark was as if it was never there, to begin with.

" That...was I hallucinating?" The man dressed as a maid frowned as he looked at Harley’s neck, the tip of his tongue pressing against the back of his teeth. " But why would I see the mark of a dark mage of all things?"

" Cassidy!" One of the omega maids saw that the blonde maid was still rooted on the spot with a confounded look on her face and waved her hand at her. " Come on, the monster is gone ...now you no longer have to worry about anything!"

Hearing someone call his alias, the man looked in the direction of the tiny maid and smiled before replying in a soft voice, " I get it...I am coming."

Then he took another look at Harley before rushing after the maid, just as he was running...he heard the low croak of a crow and he hurriedly looked at the sky. With its black wings spread wide and its red ruby eyes glinting sharply, the crow looked around causing ’Cassidy’ to stiffen before he looked away and snarled in a low whisper, " That woman is still as persistent as ever. I have been missing for so long but looks like she won’t stop until she sees my dead body."

He raised his head again and looked at the crow furtively before chasing after the maid, it would be better for him to lay low for a few more months.

" Hah!" Bree woke up with a jolt, her eyes snapped open as she looked left and right before her gaze stopped in the direction of Yakov. He was dressed in a plain emerald green shirt with a golden cravat and beige pants, he must have heard her voice because a second later he raised his head and looked at her with surprise. " So you are up?"

" Yeah..what happened..." She looked around the tent-like space where she was resting, with a double bed resting in the middle on top of a crocheted carpet with multiple lotus lamps hanging from the ceiling and a study table followed a cabinet, it really didn’t look like a small tent, in fact, it looked more like a house. " Where are we?"

" Somewhere around the Savernake forest, I don’t know I haven’t taken a look around the perimeter," Yakov took off his glasses and rose from his seat before walking towards the bed. He hesitated for a second before taking a seat at the edge and raised his hand to touch her forehead as if he was trying to check her temperature, " It looks like the temperature has finally gone down."

He heaved a sigh of relief before retracting his hand causing Bree to frown even more. " What do you mean by the temperature has gone down? What happened to me?" She tried to raise her hand but as soon as she moved it, a bone-splitting pain jumped right through her nerves causing Bree to grit her teeth in pain before dropping her hand back on the bed as she rolled around but every time she moved her body would hurt and the cycle would continue.

Seeing her like this Yakov couldn’t help but sigh as he placed his hands firmly on her arms and stopped her from moving. " That’s enough if you keep acting like that you will end up stretching a nerve or two?"

" Stretching a nerve?" Bree looked at him while lying in a foetus position with a bewildered and completely shocked expression on her face as she said, " I feel like a herd of horses have stampeded on me what are you talking about? And why exactly my body is hurting like that? I swear I can’t even move a muscle without shouting out loud in pain and agony."

Yakov stared at her before turning around to rummage through the cabinet, he pulled out a porcelain bottle and handed it to her. " It might not help much but it will ease the pain, go on drink it."

She would have drunk it if only she could! With her hands feeling like lead, Bree tried to raise her hand only to yell out loudly in pain as she screamed, " I am going to die, what in the world happened to me?"

Ever since she was young Bree was very sensitive to pain, she would hide whenever a situation like getting hurt arose in the house. But maybe it was her bad luck that the more she tried to escape it the more the pain chased after her like a clingy lover...when she was in her original world, she was ruthlessly pushed to death by a psychopath even now she remembered the pain of her head being split open. And now that she was in this world, she was being bullied like this ...Uwahh, it felt like every pore of her body was being poked by needles.

Yakov stared at Bree’s scrunched-up face before he sat back down on the bed and carefully pulled Bree on his lap, she didn’t expect him to pull such a move immediately her entire body stiffened and she looked at him with wary eyes before asking, " What...What are you thinking?"

" Nothing of the sort as it is going on in your mind," he pulled the cork from the curved mouth of the bottle and curled an arm around Bree’s neck with the lightest touch possible. " Open your mouth and drink it, the medicine is quite effective in situations like these."

Bree was surprised, upon seeing that the scheming psychopath of her husband was capable of something this sweet. She stared at Yakov’s face before parting her lips and saying, " So you are good at taking care of others along with killing?"

Yakov smiled and softly said, " No, your majesty. I am only good at taking care of you."
