Chapter 162: The Valkyrie
Sophia was, for the first time in a long time was simply stunned; she was stunned by the arrogant or ādismissiveā behavior of Axel. When she heard the words, āLetās not meet each other unless necessary.ā
A visible anger was shown on her face, and no, the man wasnāt even pretending to get her attention; rather, he truly meant the words, meaning he didnāt even like being in the same room as her, meaning he couldnāt stand the sight of her. For someone who was desired by every male that ever laid their eyes on her, she.. couldnāt process that behavior.
She just couldnāt accept it; she could accept the fact that he wasnāt attracted to her anymore, no, it was something she appreciated. But those words were blatant disrespect towards her, and she couldnāt stand that, not to mention she didnāt understand why this man was so apprehensive of her like that.
She stood up from her chair in a graceful and extremely swift motion, her dress also moved swiftly in response to her sudden movement, she pushed her right foot on the ground gently, and almost in an instant, she appeared right behind Axel, put her slender and jade white hand on his shoulder, but unlike the frail structure and beauty exuding from just her palms, the strength of a colossal mountain pressed on Axel, as he was forced to stop.
She said to him in a menacing tone that could send chills down the spine of anyone, āWhat did you just say?ā
Axel was stopped in his tracks; he couldnāt move, he felt pain in the shoulder she was holding with her enormous amounts of strength. Axel did not immediately do anything, for a moment he closed his eyes and thought, this is exactly what he was trying to avoid, he shouldnāt have said those words like that, maybe he should just turn around and apologize, maybe he should just say that he was joking, he shouldnāt confront her, he shouldnāt, shouldnāt, should notā¦.shouldā¦ā¦..ah sigh, nevermind.
His expression became utterly serious as he put strength in his own body and turned around slightly, just enough to look at her eyes directly. He warned her, āMiss. Valkyrie, remove your hand from my shoulder.ā
But the valkyrie responded chillingly, her eyes blazing in a greater scarlet hue, āAnswer my question first, Axel Nomrad, what makes you think you can disrespect me like that?ā
The moment she said that, she put even more strength into her hands, the ground beneath Axelās feet almost cracked from the sheer power generated by the summoned heroine of the Suncrest Great Kingdom, but Axel remained undeterred.
Axel truly became angered at this moment, he said again exercising the last bit of his patience, his blue eyes glowed violently, and for a moment the golden runes flickered in his eyes, making his voice sound like a tyrannical command, āPlease remove your hand from my shoulder, Iām sure you wouldnāt like to be touched by a man?ā
Sophia frowned at that statement as her serious expression finally cracked, she loosened the grip of her hand, and gently removed it from his shoulder, she would indeed dislike it very much to be touched by another man, even if the man did not have any lustful intentions in him, she looked at him this time in confusion, why did it feel like it was something he knew all along andā¦..almost as if, he was considerate of her and as such did not remove her hand forcefully, knowing that she would be disgusted by the touch of a man.
Axelās angered expression also eased somewhat as he turned towards her completely, then he stated towards her apologetically, āI apologize, Miss Valkyrie, but I meant no disrespect by my words. I hope you donāt take it to heart.ā
The Valkyrieās face returned to being completely stoic, and Axelās face also became expressionless as the atmosphere became tense and heavy. The valkyrie said to him in a displeased undertone, āRegardless, you have no right to talk to me like that; you arenāt worthy.ā
Axel nodded, brushing down his silent rage, āYouāre right, miss Valkyrie, I apologize.ā
Sophia looked at him intently for a moment, and while he did apologize, she could see that there was no hint of apology in the manās eyes. She finally asked, unable to understand, the reasonings of the man, āAxel Nomrad, why? Why do you feel apprehensive about me? Are you scared of me?ā
Axel sighed, his eyes closed as he put a hand on his face, she really, really had to ask that, didnāt she? And put the words like that as well? he let out an amusing dark smile, āNo, miss valkyrie I am not scared of you, but I could tell from the very first glance, what kind person you are, and youāre a murderer miss valkyrie, I canāt imagine just how many lives you had to slaughter to have that kind of predatory gaze in your eyes, and that bloodlust, just how many innocent people did you kill?ā
āYouāre a disgusting psychopath wearing the skin of a human beauty, youāre inhumane, and you know it as well.ā Axel revealed to her with no holding back.
For a moment, the expression on the Valkyrieās face remained, Axel could tell no emotion from her face this time, untilā¦.for the first time, the ever so stoic and icy expression of her cracked completely, her thin and cherry like lips stretched, her teeth showed as she let out a dark and almost unhinged laughter. The darkness in the surrounding trembled and became heavier as she laughed.
She said to him in mockery, āHow naive, how soft, and how pathetic you are, Axel Nomrad. Well, I am indeed what you describe me as, but so what if I am?ā
āNo one in this world is a saint, Axel Nomrad, least of all you. Youāre even worse than I am. At least, I am not a hypocrite who pretends to be kind or normal, just to mix in. Unlike you, I donāt hide the true nature in my eyes. I accepted it, I confronted it, I embraced it, I know who I am, Axel.ā
āBut do you?ā she added in pure disdain.
Axel looked at her in rage, āWhat the hell are you talking about?ā
She smiled at that statement, she leaned in closer and placed a hand on his cheek, and she stared deep into his ocean blue eyes. Axel also stared back, deep inside her blazing scarlet eyes, she whispered in his ears like a malevolent devil, āYou know in your heart what you are, Axel, youāre just like me, people see the calm and unending ocean in you, a symbol of peace of tranquility, in those eyes of yours.ā
āBut they donāt know that it is the ocean in its depth that hides the greatest horrors, when a storm rages, itās the ocean that becomes the most violent one, causing the greatest destruction and terror. And you know it, youāre true nature is not that of peace.ā
āBut of chaos and conquest,ā she declared to him triumphantly.
Her sinister whispers continued enchantingly, āYouāre but a violent madman trying to suppress his true nature in a coat of false kindness.ā
Axel reeled back in shock and a trace of terror, as well as panic, that seeped into his being, which every manipulative word whispered by the enchantress.
