IT'S FOR YOUR SAFETY

SIGRID

You don't need to put my shoes on, Silas, I can do it myself, I snatched the boots from his hand and slipped them on alone.
Honestly, having someone constantly around helping me with everything was starting to give me a headache.
But his silent presence didn't bother meI allowed it.
Still, something told me the storms were about to roll in.
My lady, Polly, quickly head to my room to change.
The blue suit you had tailored for me do you think it’s appropriate? he suddenly stood up ina rush.
Better if I try it on, and you can tell me...
Wait, Silas, I stopped him as he was turning his back.
There's no need for you to change.
You're not coming with me to the party.
I stared at his broad, stiff back.
He stayed silent, not turning around, but I could feel the whirlwind of emotions stirring inside him.
It's dangerous.
They might recognize you.
I don't know if Lucrecia Ts it because of my horrendous appearance? He spun around suddenly, and I clenched my fists at the desolation in that golden eye.
---- No, we've talked about this.
It doesn't bother me but it bothers others.
They'll criticize you for having me as your companion, he said, his gaze erratic, all those negative insecurities pouring out of him like a flood.
opened my mouth to correct him, but he beat me to it.
Maybe you could change my hair color, a transformation spell.
I don't think anyone would remember me.
I'll be like a shadow by your side, my lady.
Don't leave me behind.
I won't embarrass you, he took a step toward me, but I stepped back.
I knew very well Silas was an expert manipulator it came naturally.
I imagine he had to learn it to survive.
It was one thing for me to let him because it suited me or I liked it, and another thing entirely for me not to notice.
I said no, and that's final! I snapped, my voice hard and unyielding.
It hurt my chest, but I was doing this for his own good.
Tf its because of that witch...
If 1 see her, I swear I won't approach her.
I wont do anything to put you in danger Silas, know your place once and for all! I cut him off.
Enough negotiating! Don't confuse my favoritism with weaknessyoure still my fucking slave! He froze in place, but he didn't lower his head like he usually did.
That darkness started seeping from his body like a second skin.
Was he going to attack me now that I wasn't giving in to his demands? ---- I prepared for anything.
Silas was far too unpredictable.
J just wants to protect you, my lady...
and I don't need your protection.

What makes you think an elemental, no matter how special, could surpass a powerful witch?
 I didn't want to hurt him.
I didn't...
but he was too stubborn.
You're staying, and that's my final word, I said, walking with all the strength I could muster.
Complex emotions swirled in my chest, but I couldn't afford to control Jose.
My steps led me to the door, but I could feel him at my back the danger, sharp and deadly, cold, ready for anything.
My fingers paused on the doorknob as J lifted my chin.
A dark hand of black magic formed around Electra's white, fragile neck.
His power was so destructive, on the verge of scorching the skin.
Just a little squeeze, and he would hurt me.
He was out of control, and I did nothing to stop him.
I wanted to see how far he would go.
To see if he really was a threat to me.
silas, let me go...
I murmured in a low, sharp, angry voice.
Then chain me up, lock me in the dungeons with your strongest spellthe most aggressive and deadly...
---- and if I don't? If I don't give in to your demands, what will you do? I suddenly turned, and he was right at my back.
He was barely visible, submerged in shadows and darkness.
The wooden mask was splintered from the destructive wave and missing pieces.
Through the cracks, I saw that abyss devouring me, crushing me, craving to dominate me and that only enraged me more.
No one controls me unless I want them to.
Then I'll will follow you.
ll escape and chase you to the ends of the world if I have to...
['m not casting any fucking spell...
I raised my hand and plunged it into that dark haze, grabbing his tense jaw with all my strength and yanking him toward me, his face inches from mine.
Barely holding back my Selenia powers, which were spiraling out of control with the rage coursing through my veins.
Pm not going to chain you.
I'm not going to spellbind you.
You'll stay right here in this fucking room, and you wont leave because I say so, because I order it.
Woe to you if you disobey me, Silas.
My breathing was rapid, our wills clashing, colliding like titans.
He was strong he was.
My silhouette was barely visible, submerged in all that crazed darkness that began to fill the room.
His golden eye, the healthy one, started to blacken too.
He just stared and stared at me, battling my command, battling himself.
---- Tell me if I made myself clear, I tightened my grip.
My mouth hovered over his slightly parted lips, our mouths brushing with each threat, his 6'5" frame towering over my barely 5'7" body.
Silas! Yes, my lady, he finally answered after what felt like an eternity, lowering his gaze at last, surrendering apparently.
His chaotic magical power began retreating into his body, the haze caressing my skin with melancholy.

I raised my free hand in the air, and it tangled around my fingers, unwilling to let me go.
If this was what a few hours of separation felt like, what would it be like to leave forever?
