After using her body as a shield to block the attack, the girl was wounded pretty badly. She tried her best to stand with the help of her staff.The wound she received was terrible enough to make her bleed.
Witnessing the state she was in the twins rushed towards her and hugged both of her sides with their entire body.
Their eyes were whelmed with tears that were threatening to fall any moment.
"d.a.m.n! If only I was cautious... these kids wouldn"t be in danger... This is bad! The wound I received earlier is critical! At this rate I will loose my consciousness soon...."
The girl stumbled on her steps as she barely stood up.
Her mystic blue eyes were burning from determination. Her sole focus was on the kids rather than her own well-being.
The two demons were ready to attack her once again. This time they used their swords and not magic. They wanted to play with her a little bit before killing her off.
Before their swords could touch her, a man with brown hair blocked them with his sheer strength.
He casted a spell which made the wind to respond his call and stroke them down. The two demons barely dodged his attack as they got wounded severely.
The twins eyes were wide in excitement and awe for their brother. After all it was their first time seeing him fight. Though it was not much of an intense battle, it was enough for the twins to become excited.
Before they realised Shiv had already knocked out those demons.
"My Lord! What..." Aditya was dumbstruck that his words were caught on his throat the moment he saw the girl.
The girl who was barely conscious breathed a sigh of relief as she fainted and fell right onto Shiv"s arms.
Shiv"s face was burning as if it had caught fire. His hands were in a dilemma as to hold her or not and continued to be stuck open in the air.
"So beautiful! I have never seen someone as beautiful as this girl before. Wait a minute, her appearance is similar to that of the rumored Varma"s. But she is hurt pretty badly... "
While Shiv and Aditya continued to be on their own thoughts, the twins lost their patience and whined to Shiv.
"Brother! Save sister... She got hurt because she helped us."
"Yes.. Sister is a good human. Please save her brother!"
The little girl"s eyes were filled with tears as she cried to him while holding onto the hem of his cloth with her tiny hands.
"The twins reaction towards this girl is positive. May be she could me no threat. But if she truly is a Varma... then..."
Shiv shook his head vigorously. Before he could realize, he was already carrying the girl in his arms as he covered her face with his cloak and turned around to leave.
The two demons who were crawling on the thought to escape was terrified by Shiv"s words.
"Aditya, capture those foul demons, if they try to escape kill them."
"Yes, my lord."
....
There was a commotion on the streets of the capital, as they saw their lord carrying a human woman on his arms. The demons have a strong sense of smell. So they were able to catch the scent of the human along with the strong smell of blood.
The people were awed to see the sight and some even believed it to be a dream.
Their lord who showed no interest in woman was actually carrying one on his arms and not to mention it was a human woman.
Aditya tied up the demons that were knocked out by Shiv and dragged them along with him. When they entered the capital, Aditya ordered his men to lock up those two in the prison as he followed Shiv behind.
"My Lord... This is not good... You carrying a human woman is causing a huge commotion within our people. It would be good if you allow me to take her to the human shelter, for her treatment...."
"Who said I am going to the human shelter now?"
His one simple question made Aditya knit his brows in disbelief. He doesn"t want to say it out loud, but he couldn"t help but to ask him to feed his curiosity.
"My Lord, are you planning on taking her to the palace of Ammora?"
Shiv simply nodded his head as he continued to walk towards the palace. The huge palace gates were opened by the guards the moment they saw their master at the entrance.
Shiv swiftly walked in and headed towards his chamber.
Aditya was once again shocked by his actions.
"Wait... Shiv are you going to take her to your sleeping chamber? Why are you being like this? Don"t you know, the way you are behaving right now could collapse the mentality of our people? Besides, this woman is a human!"
Shiv ignored him as he entered into his room and placed her on top of his bed. He even ordered the maid to call in Aditya"s brother to take a look at her wounds.
"Shiv!" Aditya finally lost his cool and yelled at him. Shiv could be the lord of all the demons, but to him, he is a close friend.
Shiv finally decided to respond.
"Have you heard of the Varma"s from your brother?"
"What does have to do with this issue? Are you not going to answer me?"
Shiv"s one look silenced him. Aditya nodded his head, "Yes... I have heard a lot about..." Sudden realization struck him.
"She has the same appearance as my brother mentioned before. If she is a Varma then..."
"Then we have to protect her.... at least until she is able to return to her home...." Shiv"s tone was serious as he looked at the wounded girl lying on the bed unconscious.
