Chapter 164 Cohabiting?

“I have but that does not mean I can use them freely. More than that, I am not a kind person to begin with. I just want to keep safe things that belong to me.

My empire, my people and my..”

“Then would you keep me safe?” the words left her mouth before she could even think rationally. Asking him to keep him safe was equal to asking him if she belonged to him too.

But since when did she want to belong to him? She was not a thing to start with! Hadn’t she always wanted to be free and dependent on that strange feeling that did not let go of our heart and often slipped off from her eyes and words.

“I mean.. If i will support you, my family and other humans that would think i am a traitor would kill me after you free me.

What are my chances of survival at that time?” She bit her lips as she changed her words at the end moment but was relieved when he had not noticed the difference.

His eyes turned gloomy at the thought of her death but his eyes furrowed as if he felt that her questions was wrong,

“Haven’t you requested me to have that child with you for this very reason? Though he is young, he is strong enough to protect you as he has too much power for a normal human.

But if you are still in doubt, I can give you my best knights that would vow their life to you.” she turned silent as she could see the sincerity in his eyes.

She had never thought that a person whom she had taken as a bloodthirsty monster would be so worried to save her life from her own family.

“You should let go of your prejudice, Hazel. There are good and bad humans as well as good and bad vampires and witches.

The prejudice of humans is keeping them away from us and towards their downfall.” Although he was talking to her, she could feel that his eyes were searching for something as he kept looking out with an anxious face.

She wondered if anyone else was going to join them too though he had told her that they would go alone under the pretense of meeting her family as they have invited her frequently to visit them.

She was sure they wanted her to meet only to ask why she had not killed him yet and called her useless.

She was sure they were going to attempt to kill him every day he was going to stay there. It was only natural that he could not guard against them all the time, so he must want to have a few trustworthy men beside him.

But then, where did she stand?

“It is okay if you want to take more time. I am not forcing you to take sides but do not support fools just because they look like you.” She was trying hard to keep with his words and felt like the world she was seeing this far was nothing but a mirage.

As if a veil was poured on her eyes but then what if the vampire was trying to place a veil in her clear eyes with the charm of his words.

There was no doubt that Rafael was a charming man who can lure anyone when it comes to his personality or his words. Hadn’t she fallen head over heels for him because of his charms and look how was regretting it now.

Though the man had shown that he had only been truthful to him since the start, when it comes to Rafael he was deeper than the sea and no one could understand him completely until he wanted them to.

“Here we are, i hope it helps in clearing the smoke out of your eyes.” The carriage stopped as he knocked on the window and soon the coachmen opened the door for both of them.

“Do you know which place this is?” She scanned around to see the atmosphere and the type of trees as this would be the only way to recognise the land since she had not paid much attention to where they were heading to, thinking they were going to their empire.

“It is Berlolinia. A town that is in the middle of the vampire and human land. From its west the whole land belonged to the vampire while on the east humans lived.

The south part was of witches before you killed them and now it is mixed with all of the special while the north is frozen so there is hardly any residing place for any species.” she explained when she noticed his eyes growing interested.

She felt proud when the smile on his face increased and he nodded his head with a prideful look that her back turned straighter.

“You know more than I have thought. You recognize this place in a minute though you have never kept your foot out of your palace and now mine where you even get lost in your own place.” so he does know that she got lost that day!

Well, in her defense, the estate was no less than a whole town and she never got the chance to explore it since was busy in her survival. Though she was justifying herself, her face turned red with embarrassment as she looked away under the pretense of scanning the town further.

His eyes filled with mirth as he knew her intentions but didn’t call her out

“Since the place is in the middle both vampire and human live here but what made it special is their relationship here. Look over there.” She saw a vampire giving roses to a human girl who smiled with a face full of embarrassment but the bliss in her face could be seen from miles away.

“Not only are they residing here together but they have families together. Most of the children of this town are hybrid either turning into human or vampire but loved nonetheless.”
