The Eyes of the Devil's Bride

Overwhelmed with Regret Xyan

As Elvan's gaze grew sharper, without much thought Shanika said “I'm sorry sister! Since my uncle has come, I will go home with him only!” with a slightly quivering tone of speech, even so Shanika still tried to smile at Elvan.

“Uncle?” shocked Elvan and Xyan simultaneously.

“Iya... haha!” shanika replied with her innocent face, while continuing to grip Xyan's left hand without caring about Xyan's annoyed gaze.

Elvan, who heard Shanika's words, somehow felt very relieved and reflexively lowered his head very politely to Xyan while saying “It turns out you are Shanika's uncle, forgive me for being disrespectful, the instant” also made Xyan feel even more offended.

And just before Xyan opened her mouth to reply to Elvan's greeting, Shanika quickly returned saying “Then, I say yes brother!” after that instantly pulled Xyan's hand to leave from the presence of Elvan along with Xyan.

Shanika who was afraid that Elvan would approach him again, with his footsteps that were getting faster he immediately entered the luxury car owned by Xyan who had been on the side of the road entering the campus building.

“Huh... safe!” shanika muttered with a feeling of relief, while releasing her hand grip on Xyan's left hand.

While Xyan who is currently sitting next to Shanika, without lingering immediately said “Now,” to his men namely Gavin, who sat on the driver's seat of his luxury car.

“Good sir,” Gavin replied very obediently and directly drove Xyan's car very skillfully.

Shanika, who had just noticed the presence of others in the car, smiled and said “Oh! Who is this? My name is Shanika!” who was reflexively replied by Gavin “My name is Gavin, I am his personal assistant Mr. Xyan,” with a very polite tone to Shanika.

“Oh... It turns out that this man has a personal assistant,” Shanika replied while nodding her head and occasionally glancing her eyes at Xyan who was beside her.

For a few seconds the atmosphere in the car became very quiet, until suddenly Xyan said “Why did you introduce me to the man as Uncle?! Are there no other mentions?” with his extremely high tone of speech and an expression that looked extremely angry to Shanika.

“Jeez, make a surprise!” shanika complained as she rubbed her own chest.

“Didn't you see how insolent he was to me?! Ugh, it feels like my pride is ruined when you call me Uncle!” continued Xyan very tightly, while folding both of her hands in front of her chest that was fielding, after which immediately shifted her gaze from Shanika's face.

Shanika who heard Xyan's words was surprised, she never thought that Xyan would come to think of such a trivial thing and just plainly Shanika said “But, what other name is suitable for you?” that instant also made Xyan flinch.

“A-what did you say?!” xyan asked with both of her eyes widened to Shanika.

“You see from any side, you and I... have a considerable lifespan! So, just the name Uncle that crossed my head,” said Shanika who thought that her thinking was very reasonable.

But, instead of making sense. In that instant Xyan also felt even more annoyed and reflexively said “After all, my face is very youthful when compared to everyone!” lamented Xyan who still did not receive the name given by Shanika to him.

“Ya. But, how old are you right now?” reply Shanika who also did not want to lose in terms of arguing.

“Ck, look! You alone are not confident in your age,” continued Shanika with an upset feeling and reflexively immediately threw his face away from Xyan.

While Gavin who had been listening to Shanika and Xyan from the steering wheel, with all his strength trying to hold his laughter, because for the first time he saw the childish attitude of his master while debating trivia with a young woman.

***

Twenty minutes later, though, arriving in front of the Apartment building Shanika immediately got out of the car simultaneously with Xyan from a different car door and just as Gavin got out of the car as well, Shanika quickly approached Gavin.

After that Shanika said “Thank you, Gavin. Nice to meet you,” with a cheerful smile and before Gavin replies to Shanika, Shanika reflexively shakes Gavin's hand using both hands.

But, instead of feeling happy because of Shanika's hospitality. In that instant, Gavin was shocked and felt a lot of pain due to Shanika's “Akh hand grip! Sa-sick once!” gavin's sigh quickly pulled his hand out of Shanika's hand and stepped back to avoid Shanika.

“Yes? Why pain?” surprised Shanika with her confused face.

“Ugh, don't know..it feels like being electrocuted,” replied Gavin while wiping his own hand.

Xyan who saw Shanika's interaction with Gavin also immediately sighed his long frustration, after which whispered to Shanika “It was all because of the white thread. You forgot, huh?” that instant also made Shanika flinch.

“This white thread? But, this thread only affects invisible creatures... eh?!” with a reflex Shanika words were interrupted and she immediately turned her head again towards Gavin, with a look of disbelief.

“Ka-you're not human either?” shanika asked in a whispering voice to Gavin who was currently still standing before her and without speaking a single bit, Gavin nodded his head slowly.

“I can't possibly allow a human to be my personal Assistant,” said Xyan again with her relaxed tone “Te-apparently so,” Shanika replied with a feeling of guilt as well as confusion.

And without taking any longer, that second Xyan immediately ordered Gavin to go and resume his work again tomorrow morning, that instant also made Gavin bow his head very obediently and immediately stepped away from the front yard of the Apartment building.

“It looks like the sting feeling of this white thread is very painful huh?” shanika muttered to herself while staring fixedly at the white thread that was still tightly bound on her right wrist.

“How about you? What when I touch you.. does it hurt too?” shanika asked Xyan, who quickly answered Xyan “I made that thread for you, why am I in pain?” with his tone of speech that sounded quite cynical.

“Hm... true too!” shanika replied with a faint laugh in front of Xyan who was currently still looking at her fixedly.

Until a few seconds later, suddenly there was a security guard greeting Xyan and Shanika, after which said “It looks like the two of you look more familiar,” instantly also makes Xyan and Shanika surprised and feel very awkward “A-familiar what?” shanika and Xyan complained simultaneously.
