Poison Eve
Chapters-35

"It's all my fault" muttered Xenephon with a grim countenance. He stared out the window with a bow. "I shouldn't have put Naomi by your side."

Nazareth sat down on the side of Evelyn's bed with his mouth clenched. Next to her hand stroked softly Migi Vox's head, while her gaze was fixed on Evelyn's unconscious plain face.

Migi Vox has looked much calmer and re-attached the plain face of toddlers. It means baby demon!

"I realized it too late" said Xenephon. "It's no wonder that Migi Vox has always been on the lookout for Naomi. You're not comfortable being by her side."

Nazareth remained unmoved. His gaze did not turn away from Evelyn.

"Next time tell me you feel uncomfortable with my people" Xenephon said, turning from the window and looking at Nazareth.

"It's not your fault" Nazareth muttered expressionlessly. "I don't control it very well."

Xenephon nodded heavily. Then smile wryly. "To be honest, I like Vox better than you, '" he murmured.

Nazareth blinked and turned to Xenephon.

"If I were you, I'd kill Naomi too!" Xenephon.

Naomi was the shadow bodyguard Xenephon placed by Nazareth's side. The best graduate of the Academy of Spies belongs to Xenephon under the auspices of the Order of Angelos.

But the girl secretly falls in love with Nazareth, and is blinded by jealousy since Evelyn's arrival at Nazareth's estate.

How not? During this time, Naomi was the only woman who was always in that place and accompanied Nazareth from time to time.

Since Evelyn's arrival, Naomi feels she is no longer needed except to look after the estate, while Nazareth travels with Evelyn accompanied by Xenephon.

Before Evelyn, Xenephon did not leave the Hall of the Noble Order very often except in order to search for annual talent from city to city throughout the country.

Upon their return from the City of Fortress, Xenephon resigned from the annual talent search monitoring group and disappeared. Then back with Evelyn.

From then on Naomi's world seemed to be ridden and hatred mastered it. Then secretly follow them to this town to eliminate Evelyn because she knows if she kills the girl at Nazareth's estate, she will be the only suspect.

But in the City of Drizzle…

Shadow guards with the same killing method roamed everywhere.

Drizzling City is a great place to get an alibi, he thought.

But who would have thought that Migi Vox whom he thought was just a marionette doll controlled with thread, he said, the so-called mutation-protective elf was aware of her existence amidst the crowd even though she had blended in and changed her appearance like other visitors from among the nobles.

Nazareth didn't realize it. Migi Vox is always bloodthirsty in the crowd. So he thought Migi Vox was eyeing a prey when the doll suddenly turned to a point with a sharp gaze. That was why he continuously twisted the puppet's head to keep looking straight ahead.

Xenephon leaned his back against the window weir, staring at Nazareth from across the room. He could feel the gentleness radiating from the man's gaze as long as he looked at Evelyn.

For some reason it makes Nazareth Vox look so fragile and charming.

But at the same time his evil side sealed in Migi Vox's body grew stronger as his feelings deepened.

Nazareth's concern for Evelyn strengthened the vigilance of Migi Vox who only understood how to kill when sniffing danger.

But Xenephon finally knew that Nazareth's feelings for Evelyn were unmitigated even though the man did not want to admit it.

This was the first time he had seen Nazareth so anxious, so concerned for the so-called female beings.

Basically Nazareth was a person who cared deeply about anything from the beginning.

Yeah, anything!

Except women.

Evelyn is the only woman who can break down the highest iceberg on earth. Either because of his special birth talent or because of his extraordinary charm.

Why does grace always come with a curse? xenephon. He pulled his body from the window and rushed towards the door. "I will follow the shadow guards to see if they do well" he told Nazareth.

Nazareth smiled faintly in response to him. "I believe in them" he said half muttered.

Xenephon did not rub it, just waved his hand at a glance without turning his head again.

Nazareth knew that stalking the shadow guards was only Xenephon's reason for leaving him with Evelyn. And he knew exactly he couldn't hide anything from that one visionary.

Nazareth was bored. An agonizing silence ambushed him after Xenephon's departure. He looked down again at Evelyn's face, which was still shining even though it was a little pale. His saturation instantly evaporated looking at Evelyn's face.

It felt like he was willing to sit for hours there as long as he could continue to look at that tiny shining face without having to pretend.

Migi Vox looked up at Nazareth with a typical annoying grin.

Evelyn's eyelids suddenly shook.

Migi Vox flinched and jumped off Nazareth's lap, then bent over Evelyn's head with round eyes and mouth.

Evelyn groaned weakly and muttered indistinctly, then slowly opened her eyes.

Migi Vox turned to Nazareth with a happy expression of a child.

Nazareth smiled faintly.

Evelyn blinked her eyes and frowned. Then jerked to realize his guardian was in his room. "Master?" pekik surprised.

Nazareth remained unmoved looking at Evelyn with a flat face.

Migi Vox crawled up to Evelyn's lap after the girl sat down.

Evelyn bowed and gasped, but then smiled and rubbed the doll's head. "What's going on?" he asked while raising his face again, looking at his guardian.

"Invader" replied Nazareth. "Someone sneaked into your room and drugged you."

Evelyn widened her eyes, sticking the tip of the fingers in her mouth. "That smoke ball.." he hissed.

"Rest!" prune Nazareth doesn't care.

Evelyn spontaneously flabbergasted. Didn't I just wake up? thought.

"I will take care of you" Nazareth said.

Migi Vox looked up and grinned widely.

Nazareth glared at him with a flat expression.

Evelyn smiled nervously and rubbed the back of her head misbehaving.

"Sleep," urged Nazareth with firm persuasion. Her fox eyes looked into Evelyn's eyes. "The influence of dope can only be neutralized by quality sleep. No need to think about the fight for a while."

Evelyn gave a smile and nodded thinly to convince her guardian that she understood.

Nazareth grabbed Migi Vox's nape with one hand like he was toting a cat and lift it from Evelyn's lap, while the girl laid back.

Migi Vox thrashed with both hands flapping at his side scavenging for empty air, trying to escape Nazareth's clutches.

"Let him rest, Vox!" persuade Nazareth in a low murmur.

Migi Vox refused to give up and continued to rebel, until, Nazareth pointed his index finger in front of his face and immediately the doll was silent, staring at the tip of the index finger with a confused expression of a small child.
