Alexander saw Michelle turning her gaze away, his eyes narrowing.
The next moment, Michelle felt Alexander's presence behind her turn more menacing.
As Asher was about to speak to Marcus and Antony, he froze and looked back. He saw that Michelle, staging as Ana, had stiffened, clearly feeling the shift in atmosphere.
Marcus and Antony also stopped arguing.
Even Antony, not an expert in detection when compared to everyone else, felt the shift in atmosphere. And Marcus was completely on guard, looking around.
Involuntarily, his gaze landed on Michelle. "Do you know the source of the presence?" he asked.
Michelle turned around, looking over the courtyard wall. There, her gaze locked onto Alexander.
He stared back at her, his expression darker than Michelle had ever seen.
She knew that as the Dark Lord, Alexander was a cold-hearted and cruel person who built the Dark Palace on corpses. But she had never been confronted with that side of him.
