Chapter 30

**Tzalmon Point of View**

Eblilis froze.

I was honestly puzzled by her reaction. Looking at her confused displeased and growling facial features, yet again, for nth time, I was puzzled.

Her distaste and hatred for me only intensified when she heard who she is to me and my kingdom.

"Ah, so turns out I'm a queen." She spoke nodding to herself calmly. The calmness was a sudden change.

Although she has sea of hatred in eyes, she also has an ocean of calmness.

"However,-" She started, as she looked at me and rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "I'm rather petrified by your complacency in thinking that I actually care about being some goddamn queen to a horde of brainless chickens."

The way she said those words with a hint of surprise and contemplation hit me hard. Yet again, I failed to understand her thoughts.

I told her she was a queen and the very person who has authority to rule my people beside me. Wasn't that enough reason for her to be gratified?

"I know women who are ready to die and kill to be with me; be my queen." I laid down the fact in a straight tone. And it is really true. There are indeed ladies, from other territories, from gentry of my own territory who would do anything to win my attention and my heart.

"Well, congratulation; I prefer to stay alive then. Back to the serious topic," She shrugged and moved a little forward and glanced up at me inquisitively. "Who are you?"

"Nah, what are you? I saw you appear before me and go invisible right in front of my eyes. Clearly, you are something that knowledge of science I have cannot explain." One blank look at her, I pressed my cold eyes into hers giving off a very dominating stance that my people are scared off.

Apparently, the woman before me isn't affected in the least.

She actually dared to look back nonchalantly at me showing me how genuinely she is not scared or not compelled by my aura.

Is she the same scared little lamb that walked into my castle?

"Like I said, I am Tzalmon Saccius Ebernus, the ruler of this territory and father to our son." I repeated briefly and heard her hum thoughtfully.

"Territory, you mean this island or do you mean this dimension?" My eyes sparkled with astonishment when put that question down.

"You realized it, didn't you? When though?" This time I was really taken aback by her perspective.

She was smart.

In response, she snickered humorlessly, "An ocean that takes me to the same place no matter which direction I go to. An island that suddenly amplified in size in just a day. A place where there is no trace of natural cultural development and a place that is behind from the current era by tens of centuries. People who has this bizarre ability to appear and disappear by a swish; tell me, if not I'm not going crazy, then it is quite obvious that you and your chickens here are some monsters."

My hands clenched into tight fists when I heard her call my people brainless chicken and monsters.

"The people you are calling chicken belong to one of the most powerful race in all the realms and the person you call the monster is one of the most powerful man the universe has ever seen." I was being patient but when dare test it calling us chicken and monsters, I lost it.

She was a mere mortal and a female at that. A female and a mortal who was below me; how dare she insult my race, my people and me?

She looked up at me and raised a brow arrogantly giving me a once all over glance before shaking her head as if she heard something unbelievable.

My anger... did not cause her any fright.

The waves of power that flowed out of my body did not affect her.

A mortal human, a weak female, she could withstand my power?

"Of course." She scoffed. She only said one word but her tone was clearly expressed mockery of several unsaid words.

"As much as I would love to hear the stories of your gallantry, we should postpone it to the time when I had nothing to do with my life other than pass my time with some constant nonsense. Now pray tell me why I am here and how come I got pregnant with no sexual intercourse experience at all."

I gritted my teeth and attempted to control my anger seeing that the woman before me was the mother of my child. She was an important person to this kingdom and to my son.

Never had I ever practiced such patience and control in my long years of life. I never to but this woman have the ability to throw me off the fence.

"You don't have to know –"

"You don't have to know about it, Uhilr. Just do the part and stay here like one with these walls and doors." I was cut off by a familiar voice. Turning around, I saw person who spoke walking into the room with a look of disgust towards Eblilis.

"Majesty, greeting." Miya, the only niece of Duke Nolot, curtsied with a smile.

The already present scowl on my face hardened as I looked at girl who dared to insult Eblilis in front of me.

"Vojhot kpthamam Uhilr, Miya." I growled lowly and the smiling features on Miya's face turned to a scared one.

She opened her mouth to reply back when Eblilis chose the time to butt in. "I don't know what Uhilr means but I'm sure it is something bad. Not responding back is bad manners so the word applies back to you ten folds." Eblilis gritted sizing Miya with a haughty look that promises to devour her to fire if she crosses line.

"I'm Miya Nolot, the only niece and future queen to this kingdom. How dare you speak to me like that?" Miya spouted out quite a bit of nonsense as she tried to intimidate Eblilis with her supernatural aura that comes with high rank.

Expectedly, nothing happened to Eblilis which caused all the anger I felt for her moments ago to dissipate.

When my own power and aura did not affect her then mere Miya's power will not even cause a tingle.

"You seem to make a lot of queens for your state. Equality among women is immaculate here." Eblilis scoffed as she gave me a heated glare. "But then again, it's none of my business with whom you run your bedroom business with."

I've never seen a person make the other feel like they are worse than dirt with one simple look. Eblilis can do that.

The disgust on her face deepened infinitely when she glanced at Miya.

"You people have impeccable manners I say. For someone who claims to be the most powerful man and a King of some dried bullshit race, people walk in without knocking on his face and he has nothing to say about it. Why am I not surprised?" Eblilis eyes stayed on glowering Miya and she did not flinch at all.

"What are you doing here, Miya. You know this floor is prohibited for anyone other than me and the special maidservants. Were you thinking I wouldn't punish you for the audacity?"

"No, Majesty I –" She stuttered and held her head low as sweat started to form on her forehead.

Usually, I would behead the person who trespass on this part of the wing but with my mind on Eblilis, I was trying to make things better.

"Leave." I ordered as I turned my attention back to Eblilis.

"Acacia, you are still not completely healthy. Rest and I shall give you your answer some other day once you are well." I spoke and called Circe without giving any time for Eblilis to defy me again.

Along with Circe, a few other maids walked in and pulled Miya out of the room, into my study where I can punish her for impudence.

"Answers. How the hell did I get pregnant, tell me." She demanded again and heavens, was she stubborn.

She is so damn willful.

"What kind of monsters are you all?"

"When you already have a queen in the barn, why is she not the mother of your child?"

Question after question she shot at me again, seemingly telling me that she was not going to let me off the hook.

She was determined to have her answers today and I could only sigh and settle down on the discarded chair to cure her curiosity.

"We are called Dr'helellis, one of the most powerful and feared clans. You saw me appearing out of thin air right; that was because we are exactly what you could not see before."

"What could not be seen? You mean you are a ghost?" She guessed without conveying any fear.

"Not ghosts; spirits. We are similar to spirits; only, we are a group who doesn't need a physical body to possess."

"And as a King of Dr'helellis, I control and manage entire nature of life force." I announced proudly as my chest swelled with pride.
