SPELLBOUND

Chapter 448 - Queen Of Bargain

Evie swallowed then she straightened and took another deep sigh. When she felt a little calmer, she looked at Gideon again.

"I saw something like a huge well," she started. "Hundreds… no… thousands of monsters I have never seen before were coming out of it. Then I…" her voice faltered a little. "I saw destruction. An immense destruction such as none have ever seen before… great wars… deaths… and then they – those monsters… they also reached the surface." Her voice choked and broke off at this point.

It was Gideon's turn to look at her with widened eyes. Disbelief and shock filling his blue eyes. It was obvious he could not quite believe what she was saying.

"Listen," Evie breathed out again before she continued, "my dreams and nightmares aren't normal ones like what others have. Whatever I see in my dreams… they actually do end up happening."

Gideon did not speak. He just stared at her with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

"You do believe me, right?" Evie questioned him, her eyes wide as she trained her gaze on him. She needed him to believe her! "This… we need to tell this to King Belial. He needs to know this nightmare is approaching us very soon. The Under Land is going to be embroiled in big trouble! We need to find a way to stop this from happening!"

Evie felt a rush of urgency surging up from within her. The scenes she saw in her dream… it was nothing close to anything she had ever seen or even imagined before. That was… that was the most horrific nightmare she had ever had. Not only did those monsters looked as though they were very strong, but there were also just too many of them. A word like 'many' or even 'numerous' would not even come close to describing their numbers. The death and destruction that these monsters had wrecked in her dream that she saw was too extreme that she felt like throwing up. In her dream, this place, this beautiful dark paradise of the Under Lands had turned into nothing else but hell and ruin. Even she could not help but feel mind numbing and debilitating fear consume her as never before. The fact that she saw these monsters reaching the surface only meant one thing. It could only mean that the dark faes had failed to stop them and they lost the war. The whole race of the dark faes must have been completely wiped out for the enemies to proceed to the surface.

To think that King Belial and all these powerful dark faes, and probably including her would actually lose the war… Evie bit down on her lip. This was bad. Really bad. She could already feel it. They must do something before it was really too late. They must do something now to stop that disaster from happening! And she hoped that they were still in time to get something done. She fervently prayed to whatever gods that there was in existence that it was not already too late for them.

As her mind was still caught in utter turmoil, Evie felt a large and warm hand gently landing on her head, causing her to blink and raise her head. She saw Gideon standing there with his hand outstretched, looking at her quietly but calmly.

To her surprise, a small smile curved on Gideon's face as he then patted her head lightly. "Calm down, Queen." He said in a deep and reassuring voice. "It's not good for you to worry too much. Don't forget you're carrying my niece or nephew inside you now." He then cracked a grin at her, obviously trying to get her to calm down and distract her from her flustered condition earlier.

Evie creased her brows, as suspicion bloomed in her heart at the sight of him being so calm. It did not seem as though he does not believe her claims. But if that was the case, then he should accept what she said as the truth. Then why was he not even showing the slightest bit of worry or agitation at her premonition, especially when it might involve the genocide of the whole dark fae race?

"Don't worry, your nightmare will not come true. I can promise you that." He added and with one last soft pat on Evie's head, he retracted his hand and placed it inside his pocket.

"You… don't tell me you already know about this?" Evie narrowed her eyes. "Do you actually know more about this matter?"

He looked away and stared out the window. "That's right, queen. I've actually known about this matter for quite a long while now."

Evie's mouth dropped open in disbelief. So this was why he did not look shocked at all. No wonder he did not look at her as though she were crazy when she first rattled off what she saw in her dream to him. He was just shocked that she knew about it as well!

"So can I ask you to keep it as a secret for now, Queen Evielyn?" He looked at her with those calm eyes again, his eyes shining with confidence that she would agree to his request.

"Why? Why would you want me to keep it a secret?" she questioned. "If you don't give me a satisfying answer, I can't promise I won't talk. This matter is really too massive. It involves the matter of the life and death of a whole race of people!" Evie wanted to know what else he was keeping from her and probably everybody else.

"I'm really convinced now that you're the queen of bargain my dearest sister-in-law." He sighed as he quirked a helpless smile and shook his head. But a moment later, his eyes turned steely blue as though it were heated titanium. "Because I have already thought of a plan. And if you do something unnecessary, this plan I had formulated for many years might get ruined and all the stages I have meticulously set up will fall into nothing but useless trash. And when that happens, everything you saw in your nightmare would actually happen."

A short silence reigned between them.

"I am now convinced you're the prince of blackmail my dearest brother-in-law," Evie glared at him, returning his earlier jab at her in the same manner and he just smiled mildly at her. "Stop smiling like you have already won this, you damned cheap prince. This talk is not over yet." Evie grumbled with an eye roll.

But Gideon only chuckled at her words as he knew she did not truly mean what she said and then sighed. "I wonder how my brother handled such a feisty lady like you. That devil sprout really is amazing to marry a woman of your calibre." He gave a little shake of his head as a lopsided smile spread across his lips.

"Stop changing the topic. Tell me, what the hell are you planning to do? Is kidnapping me here one of the stages you have been talking about that you've been setting up?" Evie questioned, her gaze at him was fierce now. "And Gav, my husband, is a big part of this plan of yours, is he not?" Evie's eyes narrowed as she trained it sharply on him, landing all the scorching power of her gaze fully on him, hoping that it would be able to push him to reveal his plans to her.
