The Hero's Forsaken Princess
Chapter 49: Malicious Intent

Chapter 49: Malicious Intent

The knights stationed to guard the manor recognized Gavin as the Commander of Master of Arms so they allowed him to enter the Stormholt estate.

He told the guards that he came personally to relay a message to Princess Eve. The guards informed him that Eve was in the practice ground of the manor.

Gavin leisurely walked in as he watched Eve practice archery. Surprisingly, she hit the bullseye. That was when he made his presence known to her.

Clap! Clap!

"Whoa, you are now prepared for the upcoming Royal Hunt, Princess Eve." Gavin praised her while looking at her with his lustful eyes.

Eve couldn’t hide her displeasure upon seeing Gavin. She knew this person spells trouble for her.

Meanwhile, Gideon shot Gavin a deathly glare. He folded his fingers into fists. He almost lost his control, planning to attack Gavin.

But Eve immediately grabbed Gideon’s elbow, thus stopping him from making a reckless move.

’I want to kill this pervert,’ Gideon thought as he glanced at Eve.

But Eve just shook her head, gently squeezing his hand. Her emerald eyes warned Gideon not to make a haste move against Gavin.

Taking a deep sigh, Gideon managed to suppress his anger.

"Can I have a moment alone with Princess Eve? I have something to tell her." Gavin darted his gaze to the bystanders. His words aimed to dismiss everyone so that he could have private time with Eve.

Gideon’s face grimaced in disdain upon hearing that. He gritted his teeth. ’What a shameless guy! I want to punch his face.’

On the other hand, Sera, the female servants, and the knights didn’t move as they waited for Eve’s instructions. They would listen to her, not to Gavin’s command.

Eve nodded and waved her hand, finally dismissing everyone.

Hearing about Gavin’s rotten character, Gideon was reluctant to leave her alone with that pervert. But Eve just gave him a reassuring smile.

’Gavin cares about his image and his title so he won’t do anything to harm me in this territory where everyone can become a witness.’

When everyone left, Eve started to confront Gavin.

[ What brought you here, Commander Ravenmoor? ]

Eve kept her distance from him.

Gavin smirked at her slyly. "Have you forgotten about our deal, Princess? I am here to remind you."

He moved a little closer to Eve, extending his hand to touch her hair.

Eve stepped back, narrowing her eyes on him.

Gavin just chuckled at her reactions. He picked up something inside his pocket and handed it over to Eve.

"That’s the palace invitation for the Grand Banquet to welcome the Crown Prince of Kingdom Eldara. This is for your husband."

Eve frowned when she only got one invitation. And the other one contained a time and a place.

"The second invitation is from me. It’s time for you to fulfill the end of our deal. Meet me at that place. I will be waiting for you, my Princess," He said, licking his lips while his lustful eyes raked her body from head to toe.

He was already drooling over her. He couldn’t wait to have his way with her– claiming and devouring her body.

Eve’s stomach churned upon hearing that. She wanted to puke on his face at this moment. She struggled to keep her calm demeanor.

’I had already expected this. I can no longer avoid him. I can only confront him. Fortunately, I was prepared for this.’

[ I won’t break my promise. I will fulfill your request. I will meet you tonight in this place. Just make sure no one knows about this, especially my sister. ]

Eve pretended that she was willing to cooperate with him.

Gavin’s eyes glinted with satisfaction at her response.

"Don’t worry, Princess. I got your back cover. No one will know about this. Not even the Queen nor your sister. We can enjoy ourselves at our heart’s content."

"I’ll certainly satisfy your needs..." he added, sensually biting his lips. Burning desire was reflected in his eyes.

Just imagining himself pounding deeper into her was enough to arouse him like a wild beast in heat. Even at this moment, he was fantasizing about her– fucking her in every position he could think of.

’Sigh. Sad to say, she is mute. I can’t make her scream my name as I rock her body. But I want to feel her tongue and soft lips. I wonder how it would feel to stuff my member inside her warm mouth.’ Gavin’s hungry eyes lingered on her lips.

’Damn. I’m so hard and throbbing.’ He noticed his growing erection underneath his pants. This was Eve’s strong effect on him.

He knew he had to leave before he lost his remaining self-control.

"I have to go, now, Princess. Remember to come on time. Don’t make me wait longer," he warned her.

Eve just nodded her head in response.

As Gavin turned to leave, Eve crumpled the note he had given her.

’Time to collect your debt, Gavin Ravenmoor. You will fall into your own trap.’ Eve’s lips curled up and her eyes sparkled with determination.

As soon as Gavin disappeared, Gideon came back to check on her. Grabbing her shoulders, he asked her, "Are you okay? What does he want from you?" His voice was laced with concern.

Eve nodded before roaming her eyes in their surroundings. When she saw no one, Eve slipped the note in Gideon’s hand.

Gideon frowned deeply upon seeing the notes. Then he spat a series of curses.

"Let’s teach that guy a lesson. I will make him regret everything he has done to you," Gideon swore.

Eve smiled at him, feeling grateful to have Gideon’s support. She wasn’t afraid because she was not alone in this fight.

"Shall we prepare for tonight’s plan?" Gideon whispered to her.

Eve nodded in response.

Gideon and Eve headed back to the house.

But little did they know, Sera had also witnessed the exchanges between Eve and Gavin in the practice ground earlier. Alaric gave her a task to keep an eye on Eve, that’s why she was secretly monitoring her.
