Hellbents
Chapter 76: A Fiancee

"Who else is this guy named "Alex?" Ellijah stepped wide, in an instant already in front of Ava with a cold face that held back wrath.

Eve the existence of people with levels of more than 200 is indeed different, the sharp glare directed at Ava unconsciously makes the collar of the tunic she wears feel tighter than usual.

First of all, show some courtesy first.

"Thank you for your help, sir. Also forgive me, because the day has begun to darken, your silhouette is similar to one of my friends, so I mistaken."

But inversely proportional to his calculations, the man's jaw even tightened, not like. "Are you still mad at me?"

Getting angry? Ah, true.

This man is Eve's fiancee, the man who is rumored to behead a noble boy to prove that he never cheated.

However Ava had no intention of replacing Eve as the princess of the kingdom, she only wanted to go home soon. So the girl's gonna pretend to be stupid. "I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand. I think this is our first meeting."

Instantly Ava's arm was gripped violently, she reflexively screeched. Strengths that exceed 50 points cannot be underestimated. "If you're angry, just snap at me! Don't treat me like a stranger!" Ava's whole body was shaken strongly, her head was dizzy immediately.

"It hurts, sir, geez!"

Seeming only to realize the weak body of the girl, Ellijah took off her grasp in shock. His pupils trembled looking at the bruises created on the arms, a trace of its roughness. "Where's the regeneration necklace I gave you? How can you get hurt so easily?"

Although she had a healing artifact, not a reason she could be persecuted like this, Ava sneered inwardly.

And he is still steadfast in his role. "I'm sorry, sir, it looks like you've got the wrong person."

Ava doesn't know anything.

It's better if he behaves like that.

Ava gasped when Ellijah suddenly brought their faces closer, to the point that she could feel the cold gasps of the man called Duke Frost.

Does no one understand personal distance in this dimension?

On the other hand, Ellijah noticed every detail of the lady's face before her. Deep black eyes that often make him forget time just by looking at him, red lips that do not know how many times the focus was in the conversation earlier, and a sharp nose that has fine wrinkles, as well as a sharp nose, the result of his fiancee's habit is when he doesn't like something. No doubt, she is Eve.

But when he retreated, Ellijah saw the body of a woman who, though petite, had athletic muscles that could not be underestimated, not the small body of a slim princess, that is why he often gives artifacts of defense or healing.

Nor can he divert his attention from the old scars that peek out from behind the long tunic the girl is wearing. Eve had only been missing for four months, not enough time to stain the body of a genius alchemist who had always been in the back row when fighting with ulcers.

Ellijah did not deny the woman's fighting skills, not something that could be achieved in just a few months.

But he had never heard that the royal family had missing twins, otherwise how could anyone explain this weirdness?

"Then, tell me your name!" still with a stern expression, Ellijah reigned as Duke Frost.

"Rina Hoffman, sir."

"Toug." Without being told of any further orders, the loyal servant who was beside him had already nodded. "Ready, carry it out, sir."

Ellijah's focus returned to the girl. Ava just blinked plainly, seemingly clueless.

"For now you'd better come with me. Guards!"

"Huh? Wait up!" Two dashing men in hooded clothes had flanked Ava on both sides, his arms raised.

Ellijah took out her teleportation scroll, without waiting for the time to directly tear up the precious artifact.

Purple circles were formed on the ground they were treading on.

"Hey, I never agreed-"

A second later, their existence disappeared along with the blinding light.

Ava stared at the suddenly silent world. From head to toe, everything feels numb. A familiar sensation. But not for long, his gaze was greeted by the soft light from the crystal lamp.

They arrived at their destination.

"Get out." With one word, the two people who hooked his arm instantly bowed respectfully, then disappeared.

"Why was I brought here forcibly?" Eve and Ellijah are indeed a suitable couple, both of whom have a hobby of kidnapping people. Ava could not appreciate the luxurious decorations and expensive items that adorn the room.

"There's still something I have to make sure of." Ellijah sauntered to the other side of the room, approached the work desk, then picked up a thick cigar. But after one glance at the girl who was watching him carefully, Ellijah undoes her intention to smoke, Eve never likes the smell of tobacco.

"Sit down." Perhaps his status as a Duke made the man accustomed to short reigns. However, Ava kept her butt in a large, padded chair framed by wood with intricate carvings.

"Seeing you have an army of guards, it looks like you are a high-status person." Ava already knew who she was, but her role still required her to pretend not to know such an arbitrary noble. "But as I recall kidnapping is still prohibited by international law, even for nobles like you." True, Ava was busy memorizing the laws and laws that apply in this dimension from the books she read, because that way she could devise a strategy to avoid punishment, such was her criminal life.

"Your voices are the same." Without a relevant response from Ellijah, a lump of annoyance makes Ava not want to see the face that sucks the same as Alex.

Alex and Lexa have been best friends ever since they met at an orphanage for the first time. If it wasn't for that, Alex would have ...

Argha! Forgetit.

After all, Lexa was still waiting for Ava on her native earth, the woman who continued to be in the hospital because of her weak body was definitely waiting for her to return, because Ava always takes two weeks to visit him. But for more than a month Ava has been trapped in this fantasy dimension.

And until now he still did not know the original objective of Eve.

Ava's gaze then crossed with Ellijah's blue eyes that highlighted her sharply, deciding to challenge the man's excessive attention.

Ellijah also seems not to understand anything about the kidnapping from Eve, because the existence of his original fiancee he does not know, let alone the existence of a dopplegangger from another world like Ava.

Instead of being disrespectful to Ava's behavior, Ellijah smiled instead. "Even your attitude is the same."

Now, how can Ava convince the man that she's not the princess of Edodale?

Thinking of her fate ahead made Ava exhale deeply.
