“Come here, little mouse, let’s have a walk together!” she gulped as she imagined his fangs coming out and his nails grew wider!
She swore she saw her death in him as her throat ran dry and her feet felt frozen!
“What, you do not want to?” she nodded her head out of instinct, but when she felt a frown forming on his face, she shook her head instantly!
“Tch! You are dumber than I thought!” Though he was passing sarcastic comments on her, she still felt assured looking at the amusing smile on his face.
He held her hand and pulled her on her feet as he started walking, dragging her within!
“My lord, we must be leaving in a few hours, should I go and have early snacks just in case I feel hungry later!” he tilted his head to look at her awkward face.
She was looking embarrassed but she could not think of any other excuse than running away from there!
“You do not need to worry about it, the chef had already been told to prepare a lot of snacks for you so that you would not feel bored on the journey!”
‘He cares for you more than you think!’ the words of Damn.. ien flashed past her mind again as she nodded and looked away.
For some reason her heart beat accelerated and her anxiety increased!
“Lady Natalie would be very happy when she would see the snacks too!” calm down Hazel, there might be a chance that he had not done it for you!
It would be a way to greet the guests and she was taking its benefit!
She turned to look at him as she felt his hands getting colder. Even his face looked grim when she stared at him!
It felt like she had threaded the line she should not have and was about to apologize when the man smiled and shook his head.
“The girl would not be coming with us, she had already left for her palace! Only you and I are going to take the carriage!
By any chance are you trying to make excuses so that you did not need to walk with me?” he asked as he stared at their entangled hands with a flickering gaze that had filled with darkness.
Shocked by the absence of Natalie suddenly, Hazel did not notice the strange look on his face as she shook her head.
“Why would that be! It is just that I wanted to have some food and rest before leaving as the carriage is not that comfortable for taking rest!
But if my lord wanted me to accompany him, how would I dare to refuse!” she squeezed out a pitiful expression on her face so that she looked exhausted and worn out.
The girl who had been attacked twice in the single night, and then asked to take a long journey! Anyone would feel pity on her and give her a chance to take some rest before leaving, right!!?
With that thought she tried to look as miserable as she could while bowing her head.
“I am glad that you have some self awareness!” without noticing the pitiful look on her face, he nodded as she continued to hold her hands and walk briskly while she had to half run and hop half to match his speed!
‘Aarrghhh’ she felt herself shotgun again in her heart as she nodded her head and continued to follow him with a smile!
‘Dumb! Jerk! Narcissist, arrogant!’ all the cuss words she knew, she used all of him as she hurled profanities while looking around.
She knew that he had no interest in walking with her, he was just teasing her and making fun of her like always!
“Do you like the moon too? Or the stars!” too? What did he mean by too?
She could not imagine a cold man like him who kills people left and right all day like the moon or stars at all! Still she nodded her head!
“I have always felt that the night calms my agitating nerves, my lord!” once again the grip of his hands tightened and she winced!
What a maniac! Did he not know how much force he was using while holding the hand of a human! He should have known the difference between the bodies and endurance of a vampire and a human!
Though she felt pain, she did not say a word as they continued to walk and tall all the way.
It was more like a question and answer round for her where each time her life was at stake.
“What about water? Do you like fountains too?” What kind of questions were that!
Not everyone likes water! Though question marks started to form on her face like always she still nodded her head and his eyes darkened!
“What about wind! Have you felt nice that a strong breeze of wind had touched you! Do you feel like it has created a strange sensation in you like a bolt of electricity has hit your body yet you feel lighter!?” huh!
She should have known that he was a lunatic! What nonsense was he even speaking! Why would she feel current when the wind would touch her!
Wasn’t the strong breeze touching them right now?
“No! I am sure that I am a normal human who only feels breeze as wind!” he suddenly turned and blocked her path, shocking her in the process and she raised her head with a stunned look only to meet a conflicted gaze on his face. His face so gloomy as she could see dark clouds forming over his head.
It looked like he would tear her down if he did not get what he wanted!
“Are you sure that you are just a normal human, Hazel?”
“…….”
