19 Chapter 19 : Intruder (1/2)

Freya struggled to free from his grip but he was holding her tightly. She wanted to threaten him with her dagger but when she touched her waist, she noticed her dagger missing.

She touched her waist repeatedly looking confused while Usui looked at the frantic girl in his arms, he slowly grinned as he showed the dagger in his right hand.

As he was now holding onto her with one hand, she was able to push him off. Usui let go of her, raising his arms up while he grinned at her.

Annoyed, she tried to get her dagger from him but he held the dagger above his head making it hard for her to reach it. She jumped to snatch it back but Usui kept on moving backwards avoiding her.

She huffed,” Give it back.”

”You can take it if you can grab it from me.” Usui teased her.

On hearing him tease her, she glowered at him and swiftly slammed her knee to his stomach. But to her utter surprise, Usui caught her knee with his palm as he looked at her.

He smiled and said, ”That's not the way to ask for something.”

Suddenly noticing something, the smile on his face changed as he grimly stared at a particular direction.

Shocked by his sudden change, Freya couldn't help but be amused, seeing the rumoured cold prince vibe off him.

Before she could ask him, she heard footsteps heading towards them and Usui grabbed her by her arms and pushed her into an alley.

”What ----”

She couldn't finish her words as Usui placed his hand over her lips, effectively shutting her up.

He whispered into her ear, ”Shush... Let's wait.”

Freya looked towards the direction he pointed and saw the two people she was following before.

She nodded her head slightly to him, wanting him to take his hand away. But, Usui seemed to not notice her actions, as he was focused on the two people.

Frustrated, Freya bit on his hand and managed to shut him up in the same way as he did, before he shouted, alerting the two figures.

He looked at her, complain written all over his face to which Freya smirked,” Who asked you to shut my mouth?”

He narrowed his eyes and looked down at her hands on his lips. An evil glint passed through his eyes as he licked her hand which brought shivers down her spine.

Freya withdrew her hand, wiping it furiously over his clothes while glaring at him.

Usui chuckled as he saw her behaving like a furious kitten.

Both of them turned serious as they watched the suspects when they felt a mana change in the atmosphere. She saw their lips moving and realised they were chanting.

Freya felt a breath near her neck and turned to find his face close to her. She grumbled,” Why are you near me?”

”How else am I supposed to watch?”
