She closed the door and turned to finish her goal, only did she find a figure closer to her. He was sitting far when she stepped inside, was a matter of seconds when she turned to find he was already closer to her.
"What should I think closing the door?"
Nala didn't have time to respond and she pulled out the knife from her hair and started throwing attacks at Arthur.

Arthur dodged teasingly but that increased the rage inside her. She attacked fiercely and faster as now she didn't have to hide her intentions and nature.
Arthur took her lightly at first but she seemed not someone about to stop soon so he thought he should do something.
When Nala slaughtered, he grabbed her hand. Surprisingly she let go and catch with another hand then he passed it near his face.
The knife didn't harm him but was enough to know how serious she was about killing him.
"Seeking for death?" He asked with slight anger in his tone
"Today you have to die so will my parents satisfied"

Arthur frowned at her words but before he could think straight, Nala rushed to him increasing her speed.
"Stop it or I will make you regret it"
Nala kept attacking and finally, she succeeded to give a slight cut on his face.
Arthur raised his finger and touched his scratch to find blood. "I warned you!"

This time when she charged he grabbed her hand and took her knife. And scratched her stomach.
Nala watched that part only to find she wasn't wounded but her outfit tittered enough to show her skin. That wasn't enough to stop her so she took her two knives from her thigh and rushed forward.
But this time, with every attack Arthur threw at her, he tore her cloth. No matter she tried her body kept exposed. And that wasn't enough Arthur waved his hand and she fell aside to hit the table and fainted.
The next morning, she jolted awake from nightmares. She inhaled deeply after she realized was a dream, but when she rolled her eyes something wasn't right, the room looked familiar but wasn't a place she was supposed to wake up early morning.
She was more shocked when she noticed someone sleeping beside her and when she looked clearly realized was Arthur.
He was awake staring at her with a strong gaze. Nala checked her body if everything was fine...
"If you also fear that. Don't dare mess with me as last night" Then he raised from the bed and sat.
"I won't mess with you but you will die by my hands"
"Then put more efforts or else what happened in your dreams wouldn't be a dream but reality"
Nala recalled the dream, her face flushed then she turned to Arthur suspiciously. "What... have you done to me"
"Aren't you going to leave?"
Later on, Nala walked to return to her manor but whoever saw her gave a weird gaze as she came from a demon mansion with such appearance and outfits.
She didn't care about their gazes as her mind kept thinking why she had a such dream. Among all people why she had a wet dream with him. Didn't make sense so she increased her pace going to her manor.
Outside her door she found Jared. Jared just arrived and was about to knock but surprisingly Nala came from behind.
What shocked his eyes was to see those torn clothes.
"You didn't sleep here last night. Where have you been?"
"I ... went to kill that monster" Saying that flatly she made her steps to the door
Jared grabbed her hand "You went to kill him alone? Are you insane? And why you returned like this? Did that bastard do anything to you?"
"Leave me alone!" Nala yelled "What do you think he can do to me?" saying that she opened the door of her manor
When everything went on Larah wasn't far and witnessed everything. And she understood what Nala have done.
Stepping inside Nala directly went to the bathroom and sat inside a tube of cold water. That thought still haunted her why she had a wet dream with a such monster.
She closed her eyes to clear her thoughts.
"You have done something you shouldn't"
The voice startled her, and when she opened her eyes she found Larah leaning at the door. She didn't notice her when she came inside
"No. I have done what I must. It's a pity I failed"
Larah walked toward Nala and without hesitation, she held back her head and drowned her in the water.
Then she pulled her out "Did your mind clear now" she coldly asked as if she turned to someone else "I warned you wherever you do remember whose body you are using. Going to attack Arthur secretly... no, yelling at Jared, was something you shouldn't have done. Do you know what he means to Radella, she never yelled at him"
Nala watched Larah for seconds and saw her darkened eyes from that view she chuckled "What should we do. We can't ever have the same essence. If you are so afraid try so hard to find Radella"
Larah let go of her "I didn't know you better. prepare yourself for the meeting"
While later, Nala made her way to the hall for the meeting. Everyone was impatiently waiting for her and at one of the seats sat a woman she never saw before and she asked herself if she was the wizard they talked about.
She glanced at Thomas who remained composed but she knew he was the more impatient one than the others, then she took a seat.
"Yesterday I promised to bring wizard Brenda so she could confirm about the King of witches who possessed our princess" said Thomas "As you see, here she is, wizard Brenda the rest is your decision"
"Before anything, I had like to ask. let's take am possessed, what are you going to do?" Nala calmly asked
Brenda rose from her chair "Radella, I will never hurt you. What I want is to confirm if indeed that evil is in your body"
"I am against that" Jared who just walked into the hall stepped forward toward them "You have all gone too far. I do not trust any of you, including you wizard Brenda. Have been years since you went in hiding even when Radella was sick. You were hiding then keep on doing that. No one going to touch her!"
Thomas stood up "Jared your father thinks highly of you. Even his seat was yours..."
"Is that so... then do you think my father would allow what you are doing here?"
Jared was devastated even counselors didn't dare say a word especially when they tried all of that so he could be the one taking the throne.
"I won't force you but... You will regret this" Wizard Brenda sincerely told Jared
Jared turned and walked to Nala then he grabbed her hand "Let's go"
Nala who didn't like anything going on accepted the hand and followed Jared straight to the exit.
