Zoravec turned towards the demoness knowing that she had been waiting for him to release her from the spell. However he had some other plans to deal with her, Zoravec leaned in and then shifted his gaze towards her. He raised his hand and reached for her chin, Zoravec lifted it and made sure that Devi would see the rage in his eyes.
"You…you should not be so proud of yourself too. I appreciate that you have been clear with me since the beginning."
He searched for some emotions in her eyes and all Zoravec could see was confusion. Devi did not know what he was trying to imply or what she should conclude from his words. It was hard for her to comprehend why he was treating her like his enemy or a suspect.
The demoness completely forgot that she was in no comparison to Hecate but then again she was not free of any charge either. If Zoravec did not forgive his mother, well seemingly motherly figure; then how could he trust her now. Devi blankly looked at him in the eyes and witnessed the suspicion regarding herself.
Zoravec's tone did not change with Devi too, he intentionally kept the distasteful expression over his face. He did not intend to stir another war between the two of them, acknowledging that the both would be at each other's throat if he talked to them differently. Hence, he treated Devi and Hecate equally although there was no doubt that he was unhappy with both of them.
"But do not think I will trust you. You claimed to possess my body as the vessel and expect me to trust you? I am not a fool, Devi. That is why I have marked you so I don't have to worry about you hurting me."
Zoravec was saying truth and pouring out his heart, he held no remote or guilt while saying those things to them.
They both had already done so much to him, Zoravec had no idea as to why he should hold back. That's why he went all blunt and open with them this time. Devi was equally shocked as Hecate was to hear all that stuff. The demoness had never imagined that all her efforts would run out like that and Zoravec would turn against her.
"Now you will function according to my commands and I do not have to worry about you possessing my body."
He leaned in even more, Zoravec's face was close to hers as his lips were nearly touching Devi's. He did not kiss the demoness instead just teased her as to increase her desires to touch Zoravec.
Although Zoravec had no clue how Devi could possess his body in the first place. But he wanted to assure her with his asserting tone that he knew how she would do it. Zoravec was acting imposingly intentionally to make sure both of the ladies would know that he was not going to hold back.
"Although as much as I desire you, I can't forget that you came here with a malicious motive."
Zoravec released her chin with a slight jerk as he snickered at her, whereas Devi went into a complete stunned state. She knew whatever he said was true and even if she wanted to deny it she couldn't.
He straightened himself on the table and glanced at Hecate, for some reason he was unable to bring himself to address Hecate as mother. What troubled him even more was the idea that he had lewd thoughts about her despite her age. Zoravec was still struggling to shale off those thoughts but for some reason the shock was too big for him to ignore.
"Hah! If she is wrong and guilty, not worthy of my forgiveness then you are not clean either."
He looked at Hecate then shifted his attention back at Devi. Zoravec did not want to miss the chance to confront her and to ensure the demoness that she was in the same situation as Hecate.
However as much as Devi was surprised upon the particular treatment, Hecate was happy that Zoravec put her into the same lane. The old woman snickered and was satisfied upon the interrogation and the announcement of punishments. Her ear to ear grinning was not hidden from Zoravec but at that moment he ignored it.
His whole focus was on Devi for now since its her turn, however Zoravec felt mildly guilty for hurting Hecate's emotions. Her tears were a clear indication that the woman was devastated but held it all into herself. She knew her sin was bigger and was aware how her one impulsive decision had destroyed Zoravec's life.
Zoravec could not bring himself to forgive her but he acknowledged her efforts and all the love she had given him. It was expected of him to feel guilty about questioning Hecate's emotions. However, he was determined in keeping distance with both of the ladies since he required time to overcome such trauma.
p
It was the reason he intended to be blunt as much as he could with both of them. After crushing Hecate's emotions it was Devi's turn, Zoravec knew she considered him a weak opponent. But due to the blood bond he could feel her changing sentiments towards him. And the easiest way to keep Devi away was to burst her bubble that Zoravec was into her.
"I remember it all, as clear as the day, how you approached me. You terrorised me with all that talk, made me beg and cry. What are you so proud about, huh?"
Devi blankly stared at him with her eyes welling up as she bit her lower lip to control her emotions.
"Just because I was intimate with you for a while, you think I am into you and will forget whatever you made me go through, huh?"
