The Dark King

The Dark King – Chapter 429

“Master, we brought her back.” Denis came forward.

Dudian nodded slightly and went upstairs: “Take her to my study room.”

“Yes, young master.” Denis nodded.

It didn’t take long for Denis to bring Ivette into Dudian’s study room: “Master, anything else?”

“You should go back and order others to retreat too. Nobody should stay close to the room and disturb us.” Dudian sat in the sofa and poured tea for two.

Denis nodded and gently closed the door. Ivette and Dudian were only two left in the study room.

Dudian glanced at Ivette. He saw that her face was numb, her eyes full. She was standing still. He smiled and said in English: “Come over, sit.”

Ivette was expressionless like a tree.

Dudian’s eyebrows wrinkled as he got up and walked to stop in front of her. He raised his hands to shook in front of her. Suddenly, Ivette shot at Dudian and tried to lock onto his throat.

Dudian’s eyes lit up as his upper body swayed and he caught her with his hand. He grabbed her by shoulders and pushed her body backwards. Her body hit the door and some dust fell off because of the shock to the door.

Ivette’s hands rushed over at Dudian. Her fingers were like claws.

Dudian waved with his arms and blocked her. He hit her chest and pushed her back again. Dudian’s hand grasped her throat: “Do you want to die?”

Ivette stopped as she looked at him with eyes full of resentment.

“Do you want to continue to attack? Even if you kill me you will be dead!” Dudian coldly continued: “Moreover you won’t be able to kill me with your strength.”

Ivette bit her lips. Blood oozed out but she was unaware. She still stared back at Dudian as if a beast was looking at a human.

“Do you hate me?” Dudian didn’t sympathize with the barbarian girl: “No matter what you think in your hurt if you live in my house then you have to follow my rules. Unless you want to suffer ten times more insult than in the military!”

He slowly loosened his fingers.

However she still stared back at him with eyes full of hate and anger. But there was a bit of faint fear.

Dudian turned back to the sofa and sat down. He pointed to the seat opposite to him: “Come over and sit.”

Ivette’s hands were trembling as if she was a patient in a mental institution. She step by step walked. Her feet seemed to be heavy. She sat opposite to Dudian and stared at him.

“Are you dumb or did they cut off your tongue?” Dudian chuckled as he gave her a cup.

Ivette’s chest went up and down sharply as her fingers clenched into a fist.

Dudian snorted: “You may hate my strength but you better beg me as maybe I will help you get your revenge on the one who rap3d and humiliated you. ”

Ivette’s body slightly trembled as she heard the word ‘rap3.’ There was a trace of anger in her eyes. Her face was pale as she slowly bowed down her head. After a moment she said in a hoarse tone: “It’s all because of you!”

Dudian indifferently replied: “You should stop blaming others because of the setbacks. If you continue to complain at best you will become a good wife. You should be aware of your fate when you were captured by me. You didn’t have courage to commit suicide so I have you my word to keep your little life. In the end I actually did. You should not hate me but thank me!”

Ivette’s eyes were flushed: “I would have committed suicide long ago if you didn’t promise to protect my life. I would not have gone through the humiliation!”

Dudian replied: “Dead people can’t take revenge.”

Ivette bitterly stared at him: “What do you want? Can you help me? Will you help me?”

“Depending on your attitude.” Dudian took a sip from the cup: “Right now I don’t see you trying to plead…”

Ivette almost spat out mouthful of blood. She bowed her head and bit her lips: “You want to get secrets from me so you have protected my life. I won’t tell you even if I knew…”

Dudian looked at her: “Look at me.”

Ivette looked up at him in anger.

Dudian raised his fingers: “First, your people tried to invade us. It was my duty to capture you! Second, First, as a wall of people, you invade us, I will you under the capture, this is my duty! Second, I said that your life will be spared and you weren’t killed. Third I can impose the torture hundred times more worser than military have done! ”

Dudian smiled: “A small reminder. Even if you commit suicide now, your body is still valuable. I will dissect your body, stript of your skind and check the bones. I will see if it’s the same flesh and blood of the people form the outer wall or there is something different. Later on I’ll send your flesh and blood to barbarian tribes. Let them have a taste of a royal flesh. Oh and your head… You have such delicate facial features. I’m interested what’s in it…”

Ivette wasn’t scared as she said in an angry tone: “Are you threatening me?”

Dudian shook his head: “Why should I threaten you? I’m just standing the fact. I believe your tribe wouldn’t be interested in your corpse and we are free to spoil it. Don’t trouble me too much as I like to solve problems in an efficient way. I hate inefficiency. So don’t force me to do something which I hate. Am I clear?”

“I will tell you everything that I know if you can help me with revenge! I want you to help me to kill that damned dwarf pig!” Ivette replied.

“Its better this way. We are saving time.” Dudian continued: “The man who was responsible for doing what he did to you will stay in here. He can’t get away or run. Now lets talk about me. My name is Dean. I have two main occupations. I’m a master architect from the Temple and a golden knight from the Knight’s Hall. I’m telling this to you so you know that your request is very simple for me.”

Ivette as a part of the royal family of the barbarians was aware of two forces that Dudian had told. The kid had such a high status though his age looked smaller than hers! And why would such a person act personally on the battlefield?

“This if my medal from the Knight’s Hall and this is my medal from the Temple.” Dudian took out two medals and put them on the table: “I won’t know what to say if you don’t even know what these medals mean. ”

Ivette recognized the knight medal from the first sight. She picked it up to carefully check it and confirm that its not face. She looked at Dudian: “Are-are you lying?”

Dudian said: “Why would I?”

Ivette’s eyelids twitched. She found that the boy’s mouth was sharp and insensitive. She took a deep breath: “Alright, I believe you. What do you want to know?”

“Everything you know.” Dudian slowly said: “By the way, I know when people lie. Know that I don’t mind choosing the hard way to take out that knowledge from you. I can assure you that my means are more effective than the military’s. At least I can find thousands to humiliate you.”

Ivette’s face changed.

Dudian lightly said: “One more thing. The barbarians have been defeated and were expelled from the golden wall. I can let my attendants take you to the golden wall to see the sight if you don’t believe me. The barbarians lost because of the weapon created by me!”

Ivette was shocked: “Impossible! We can’t lose!”

“I can send you personally to verify the case. I don’t need to tell a lie.” Dudian indifferently said: “The military is considering to attack your headquarters. I got lots of inventions and can help the military to completely erase the barbarians but I don’t want to do so.”

“If you are willing to believe then give me few years of time! I can make sure that there will be a place in outer wall for barbarians and noone will expel you out!”

“I hope you will be honest.”

Ivette stared at him. She felt that the boy could really achieve the things what he said. However her faith was shaken so she calmed her mind.

Alright I was “concerned” that the quality of the story will drop (that was my main excuse to read ahead) so I spent a lot of time today to read the raws up to the latest chapter… Guess what? The shit gets real! Gu Xi doesn’t fail our expectations!
