Damion's POV.

I glanced at her for a last time walking out of her room. I don't know what this girl was doing to me. She was different. She just had this effect on me.

She was making me feel things.

I can not feel anything. I am not supposed to feel anything. Weakness! That is what this all is.

I can't afford to have any weakness.

I can not allow Argyl to be weakness. I just can't let her through all the walls.

How on the Earth did she manage to break all of them?

How did she lower all my guards?

This wasn't right. It just wasn't.

The tears in her eyes, the bruises on her face, the bruised blood stained knuckles everything made me feel the pain.

I had this urge to comfort her. Her brown orbs were blood shot and I just didn't like it.

She was doing crazy things to me.

Whenever she is in front of me, my hands raise on their own to touch her. Yesterday in the Dark Wing, the act wasn't planned.

It just happened.

I just softened at her sight.

I was furious. How could I let this happen?

I can't.

I killed three people calming myself down. I spent the night in the Dark Wing visiting the traitors and enemies letting out my anger.

I just can not grow a soft side towards a girl I had known only for few days.

Yes she was different. But I can't risk it.

No emotions, No weaknesses. My empire had always been my first priority. And if I grew any feeling for her, I will have to sort out my priorities, which is the last thing I wanna do at this stage.

Erik has came into the scene. I don't know what he is planning. Whatever it is, we are on the verge of a war. And at this point of time, I can't afford to have any weakness. I can't feel anything for her. I can't put her in danger.

I made up my mind.

This was the last time I gave into my feelings. Not again.

This won't happen again.

No feelings. Absolutely no room for them. The last time I let my emotions drive me their way. But I won't let this happen again.

Staying away from her is the best thing to do for now.

You need to be strong Damion. The Empire needs you now. They need the Demon.

Yes. I needed to be strong.

I walked to my office. I didn't know what news Will has and about whom.

Let's hope it doesn't confirm the not-so-good intentions of Erik. Christ bless his soul if it does.

I pushed the door of my office open to see Will and Ken standing there.

"Rey." They both said in unison bowing down their heads.

"What is it?" I asked walking to my chair and sitting on it.

"Seth." Ken said.

"What about him Ken?" I asked him.

"He is dead." Will said.

"Hm." I thought spinning the paperweight.

"How do we know?" I asked.

"Marcos sent the message." Will confirmed.

"And Erik?" I asked.

"We still have no proof about him being the one here." Ken shook his head.

"Ask Marcos to get more information. Keep a close eye on Erik and his men. There every move should be known by us. Where they go, what they do, everything! Keep Jeremiah under the watch as well. Erik does most of his things through Jer." I said.

Will nodded.

"Who else do we have there?" I asked.

"Abel Spivak." Ken replied.

"Call him to the Wing." I said.

He nodded.

Never trust the survivor. Everyone we sent there has gone missing or died. Spivak seems doing a quite good job. But I am not sure for whom.

"Do you think Erik would try to attack us again?" Ken asked.

"May be." I said calmly.

"He won't break the truce knowing we are stronger than him."

"Oh I really hope on that." I said.

"Damion, he is not that stupid."

I just smirked spinning my chair.

He was not that stupid.

"I have heard he is bringing his fighter to the next fight." Will said.

I stopped looking at Will.

"He is what?" I asked as calmly as I could. But anger started boiling inside me.

"Bringing his fighter. The best he has got." Ken said.

I wiggled my eyebrows together.

"You think the girl can fight him?" Will asked.

"Of course she can." Ken said, "She is the best."

I looked at both of them.

I knew Argyl can fight this. I knew she can fight anyone. She doesn't accept defeats. But I do was worried. And I couldn't help it.

"We are going for the next fight." I said keeping myself as calm as possible.

"He is gonna be there too." Ken replied.

"That's great then." I saint showing anything on my face.

Will nodded.

"I guess we will leave eh?" Ken asked and I gave him a curt nod.

With that they went out of my office leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Erik was definitely planning something. And this wasn't good.

Not for me, but for him. Cause he can't imagine what I will ever do to him.

I clenched and unclenched my fists calming myself down.

No anger.

The Demon inside me was struggling to get out. but I kept him imprisoned. This wasn't the time.

I fed him with anger.

We still weren't sure if Erik was doing all this. If he was, this was the biggest mistake of his life.

And probably the last mistake.

Cause he is not getting out of this alive.

Attacking the Sanchez Empire is definitely not the wise thing to do.

He must know better than playing with my temper.

You never want to see me on my worst. The thunder that I carry. The storm that I keep bottled up. The anger. The Demon in cage. The darkness that lives within me.

You won't want to see me sitting on the Throne in the Hell.

You won't want to see the Damion Sanchez they fear. Cause he should be feared.

But sometimes, the king needs to remind the world who he really is.

Sometimes, the King in the forest has to kill an animal or two to show the rest where he stands what he is really capable of.

I just pray Erik wouldn't have broken the truce.

This would call a fucking war.

A war that would destroy everything he has.

Every single thing.

He was inviting his own death with open hands but he didn't know something more than death was coming his way if all this was true.

I will erase all the traces of his existence but still keep him alive. To watch what I did. What are the outcomes of messing with the darkness. Of not keeping the promises you make to the King.

Spanish Sanchez Empire is not something you will want to mess with.

The Rey is still alive to protect it. And I can and I will go to any extents to protect what's mine.

The Empire is my everything and I have raised it from absolutely nothing.

I was ready to set the Demon free. His hands were itching to kill. To have a blood bath. To show them what it takes to mess with Rey.

To show them who the real Rey is. To make even the Devil wonder about cruelty. About what miles a person can go. To leave him in shock asking what the fuck I was actually doing.

Erik Santos, you better not have done this.
