Chapter 79 [Bonus chapter] Two Decades!

“Do not take it out Hazel, it will keep you alive even when you are not beside me!”

“….” keep me alive! Her whole body jolted as if she was given another shock and she stood up like a spring!

“What does that mean?” her words came out sharper than she had thought and a frown instantly formed on his face.

“How rude! Did you forget who i am!?” she stared at the man who was throwing fire daggers at her.

This was the case most of the time. He either threw her cold blizzards or burned her with fire daggers if not flirted with her that curled her toes!

“It is about my life, my lord. I apologize for being rude but I want to know what the significance of this pendant is!”

“It is as you heard. The pendant could keep you safe! Though Diana had already told you the story.. There are still a few of them left, hidden in corners like a rat!

If they saw you with me then you will be their center of target too!” her face turned pale but at the same time she felt a bit of agitation as her teeth gritted hard!

“Then why are you taking me there! I can stay here in the palace leisurely and enjoy my safe time!” She covered her mouth when she realized that she had spoken her thoughts aloud but her eyes were still staring at him to reply as to why he was dragging her to the mess she had nothing to do with!

“Because I am only going there for you!!” taken aback by his sudden outburst, she stared at him with bewilderment! For her! What did he mean by that?

“You have already been part of the palace! Do you think you would be safe when I am not here!” as the words left his mouth, his hands had already reached for her neck and he took away the scarf brutally and touched the marks that were still there!

She flinched but as the words sunk in she realized what he was talking about! He was worried that she would be attacked again if he left the palace for a long while!

“What about the knights?” she was sure that if the knights would be strong enough, they would keep her safe but she frowned when a mocking laugh formed on his face as if she was being absurd!

“You think they would listen to you over the royal family? No matter how loyal knights I would give to you, their loyalty would be towards me, not you, Hazel!

So, if you want to live, you have to stay by my side forever!” forever! How long could this period be!

Once again the feeling of being helpless filled her eyes. How much struggle she had put into her survival! Would it even be worth it when everyone was waiting just for her to die!

“Yes, I understand now, my lord!” she bowed her head violently as she was still thankful for the efforts he was putting to keep her safe!

He could have left her behind, but he thought about her and took her with him yet she was complaining like a fool!

“Wait, Hazel!” she halted and then turned and bowed her head again!

“Yes, my lord!” his eyes turned cold and he felt a surge of anger hitting his chest!

Just why was she being so docile! She should be thankful that he was working so hard to keep her alive yet she was behaving like that!

His irritation knew no bounds when he saw her head bowing in front of him!

“Can you not see what I am doing? Why are you being so angry! You are not a kid anymore to throw tantrums!” she bowed her head further when she heard his voice full of irritation!

As if she was a burden on him, her eyes turned dim but she nodded in silence,

“Yes, my lord. I apologize! I am thankful for the efforts you are putting in saving me!” She bowed and stayed there without moving an inch while her head stayed downcasted.

But instead of feeling better, he felt like a volcano was bursting and started feeling suffocated!

“Then you may leave! We have to leave at dawn so there are hardly four hours left. Go and get some rest, I have already asked the maids to pack all the necessary things for you!” She nodded with silence and turned and left while he stood there alone looking at her leaving figure with hollow eyes that could not feel any emotion.

“My lord, your meal!” pulling the hand with so much force that it would almost tear apart, he sunk his fangs deeper into the skin with so much pressure that the girl closed her eyes but did not dare to even wince,

His Adam apple moved up and down and he let her go after so long that she was about to faint. Finally feeling a bit better, he walked to his room where a dark figure was already sitting on the sofa!

Ignoring the presence of the person, he walked towards the table and picked up the bottle of wine and served himself a glass. Sitting on the other side of the sofa, he closed his eyes and took a sip in silence when the other person moved!

“I can see that the lord is getting too much affected. This is not good for you and the girl as others would see how much affection you have towards her!” Rafael’s eyes snapped open and once again it had turned darker.

It was once again black like obsidian that the person sitting in front of him flinched and took a step back.

“You do not need to tell me how much care I should show for her! I have waited for her for more than two decades!”
