Monarch of Darkness

"Black family! Why are you with the young master of Black family?", Brianna shouted out agitatedly. It was clear that she was surprised.

"Tell me, is Black family also targeting us?", Brianna asked in an agitated voice.

"I don't know", Shalley replied.

Evan observed everything silently. He could understand the emotion of his aunt as the Black family was a very prominent power in the Sword capital. The old man Stuart was the most powerful minister under his grand father. Now his son Chris was also in a very powerful position. It clearly indicated how powerful his family was.

"Tell us, is Chris Black planning something against the royal family?", the shadow commander asked sternly.

"Yes, he is planning to kill the prince", Shalley replied.

"How dare he? I will kill that bastard immediately", the shadow commander uttered coldly.

Brianna raised his hand and shadow commander stopped speaking. Her appearance became calm again. A indescribable aura appeared around her. Evan felt surprise after feeling the aura around her. "Aura of a ruler", he clicked his tongue in wonder. Alice also raised her head and there was a trace of surprise in her eyes.

"Tell me, is it you who had poisoned Olivia?", Brianna asked calmly. Shalley shook her head. "Then tell me, had Chris Black took part in poisoning Olivia?", Brianna asked another question.

"Yes, he has mentioned it many times to me", Shalley nodded his head. "Who else was involved with him?", Brianna asked in a icy tone.

"I don't know", Shalley replied. Brianna didn't ask her anything after this question. She pondered silently for a moment. A determined look appeared on her face after thinking for a bit.contemporary romance

"Commander, Follow Evan from now on. I don't want to see anything happen to him", Brianna looked towards the shadow commander. The old man nodded in reply. 

"Support Evan in whatever he is doing. No need to ask my permission for every single matter", Brianna ordered in a majestic tone.

She looked towards Evan for a bit. Then pulled Alice towards her. "Little girl, it is already late. Return with me", she ordered Alice after pulling her hand. Alice looked towards Evan with unwilling eyes. She pouted a little but didn't stop Brianna from pooling her.

"Aunt, good night", Evan greeted Brianna before she left. "Big brother, good night", came the voice of Alice from a distance. Evan massaged his temple after listening her voice. "This little girl", he shook his head.

"Lead me to a base of yours. We will bring her to the palace before night ends", Evan looked at the shadow guards.

"Is it you who had approached him or Chris himself approached you first?", Evan looked at Shalley. He was sitting inside an ordinary looking room. The hidden base of the shadow guards located in a conspicuous corner of the capital. The shadow commander had also followed him to the room. Other shadow guards were guarding outside.

"It is Chris who approached me first", Shalley answered with a blank look on her face. Evan asked her some other details and Shalley replied his every question without putting any resistance. Evan turned silent after asking her some questions. He was just pondering when he heard the voice of the shadow commander.

"Are you really a orphan?", the shadow commander asked with a doubting tone.

"No", Shalley replied quickly.

"Then where are your parents?"

"I don't know. The Golden orb sect had separated us. I can see them if I can make enough contribution", Shalley replied.

Crackle! the shadow commander clenched his fist. "You are sent by the Golden orb sect?", his voice was brimmed with anger. Evan also became stunned for a moment. Then his face darknened immediately.

There was such a mole inside the palace without their notice. Evan's mood became gloomy after he realized that enemy was staying in such close proximity. Now, Evan could understand how his mother got poisoned despite the security of the palace.

"Do you know any other person who is working for the enemy?", Evan looked at Shalley. She shook her head in reply.

Today was really a hectic yet successful day for Evan. He managed to find out such informations by merely a conjecture of his.

The thing that Alice had used was amazing. It directly turned a person into a puppet. One didn't have any control over his mind and soul after eating it. Evan felt amazed after checking the soul of Shalley. "Looks like Alice's origin is much greater than I have thought", he murmured to himself.

"But why are they letting such a little girl play around here and there?", Evan thought to himself. "Forget it, everything is strange about that little girl anyway", Evan shook his head.

Evan sent a strand of his soul consciousness towards the soul of Shalley. She had no control over his body now. So, there were not any resistance for his soul strand.

His soul strand invaded her soul and a slave seal appeared in her mind. The shadow commander was standing nearby but he couldn't detect anything. Although he was a Nascent soul stage expert but his soul was not stronger than Evan. So, he couldn't detect anything.

Evan spent some more time in the base as he waited for the shadow commander to finish with his questions. Shadow commander asked her about the details that she had leaked to the Golden orb sect. Only after getting every detail did shadow commander let her go.

"My prince, what should we do about this woman?", the shadow commander asked for his opinion. "Let her return to the palace. I don't want to alert the enemies", Evan replied calmly.

The shadow commander wanted to say something but he stopped himself after seeing the calm look on the face of Evan. Today, he felt amazed after seeing the abilities of Evan. He was also felt impressed by the temperament of the young prince.

"It would be great if master could see this. I wonder when will he return?", the shadow commander pondered as he felt disturbed for a moment. 

Evan returned to the palace within the cover of the darkness. The shadow commander waited for Shalley to turn normal. Then he took her to the palace and warned her about causing any ruckus. He let her know that her every activities would be monitored.

Shadow commander did all this because he was unaware of Evan's arrangement. He had no knowledge that the enchanting maid had already turned into a slave of Evan.
