Sold to a Prince!

Mikel leaned in a bit more closer, pinning the poor woman against the wooden bookshelf.

He was standing extremely close to her, so close that Sylvia could feel his warm breath and it made her very nervous.

"No affinity for magic. Don't even know the meaning of your own name. Quite useless aren't you?" He chuckled mockingly.

Was knowing the damn meaning of her name so important?

Sylvia, being very flustered, lost her composure for a second and angrily retorted. "Sorry that you wasted your money. Why don't you return me and ask for a refund."

She looked defiantly, meeting the devil's gaze eye to eye.

But as soon as she saw him, saw the amused cocky smirk on his face, she immediately returned back to reality.

What did I just do? She covered her mouth with her palms in shock.

Sylvia didn't dare to look up at the devil in front of her again. Her heart raced as if she was prey caught by a dangerous predator.

But Mikel only coldly chuckled. He was amused at her little outburst.

She was the painted picture of an angry cat trying to claw at him.

"Don't worry, my dear kitten. I know how to get my money's worth." He extended his hand forward and tousled her long silver locks with his fingers.

"Did you know that nymphs are said to have an insatiable appetite?"

Huh? Sylvia was confused. What the hell is he talking about now? Did he always have to talk in riddles?

"They ate a lot?" She muttered under her breath, hoping to change the conversation and erase whatever happened a few seconds ago.

"No, my dear. Not that appetite. The other one. Do you want me to explain it to you further?" The man's eyebrows raised as he eyed the woman in front of him again.

Sylvia was not a dud. She instantly realized what the villain was talking about and her entire face heated up.

This whole thing made her painfully aware of how she had been stripped naked, just yesterday, by this man in front of her, each and every part of her body already seen by him. Google search 𝗳𝘳ℯ𝑒𝓌ℯ𝚋𝐧oνe𝘭. c𝐨ｍ

The woman's pale cheeks turned into a shade of deep red and anger and frustration whelmed within her.

This man was clearly toying with her!

"So... What do you think? Shall I start getting my money's worth?" Mikel teased her again, this time grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head.

Sylvia shook her head vigorously. She was sorry that she ever came into this forsaken library.

"Aha Ha Ha Ha." The devil, however, laughed loudly at her miserable plight.

"Don't worry, kitten. I have others for that. For... YOU... I have something else entirely different planned... Aha Ha Ha Ha."

Mikel let her go and he then casually walked away as if nothing had happened just now.

Sylvia, on the other hand, slid down to the ground, and sat weakly, folding her knees to her chest.

Her body subconsciously shivered from the terrifying encounter that she just had.

What did he mean? What plans did he have for me? Is he going to drain my blood and drink it all like a demon? Is he just going to eat me alive?

At this point, nothing would surprise her!!!

Stupid Jane! How is this asshole a kind and benevolent prince??? She needs to get her eyes checked!

A couple more minutes later, Sylvia shot out of the library and ran back to the servant's quarters at lightning speed.

As far as she was concerned, this was another territory that she was going to avoid like the plague.

Wherever the devil went, she would never go!
