Chapter 193 Hiding Something?

“How did the two knights let you enter?” hazel had trouble in dealing with the knights then how could he, who was treated like a slave entered in.

She did not know why she felt a strange attraction towards the room on the left side as if there was someone waiting for her in the room.

Her eyes turned to look at the door then to him and then without waiting for him to explain her, she walked past him towards the door.

Lucian panicked when he saw her opening the door where the witch was sleeping without a care in the world. What if Hazel found out that there was a witch if the illusion spell did not work.

He ran behind her to stop her from entering.

Just when her hands held the door knob, he held it covering her hands with his and pulled her back.

Her head snapped back to him with a frown. Her eyes filled with suspicion that he wanted to curse the witch! Why was he even protecting her in the first place? It was not like he would be tagged as a witch too if a witch was found in the annex building. It was not his home!!

Why was he the one who was feeling guilty? It was all because of that damn witch..

“Tsk! I have not asked you to help me. You damn witcher. Go ahead and let her open the door. It is not like I am scared of her!” he heard the voice in his mind scaring all his senses out, he jumped at his place confusing her whose eyes narrowed on him.

“That.. I thought you wanted to see the festival. If we kept delaying it, I am afraid the lord would come back and would not let you go alone.

Do you want to see the festival with him?” she was about to ask why not? After all, he was her husband.

but when she recalled the kiss they shared last night and how she was drooling over his wet chest, and how embarrassed she had felt after that, she shook her head immediately.

That man was like a strong and addictive intoxication that made you feel high and you lost all your senses.

It would be better that she would stay as far as possible from him.

But the door!

“We will leave after checking this door!” she felt like she would miss something if she would not open the door. As if someone was waiting for her at the other side of the door.

So, instead of his objections and excuses that they were getting late, she opened the door and entered in.

The whole wall was covered with cobwebs, the bed was full of dust and so was the ground. The paintings were dangling diagonally and there was a foul smell in the whole room.

It looked like it was not used for ages. Her eyes that were so eager to open the door dimmed and she shook her head, yet she continued to look inside the room as if, if she continued staring at it for long, a miracle would happen and Anne would come shouting “

what are you doing in my room, lady Hazel. You should not enter into the room of a maid like that.

It is not fitting for a princess!”

A wry smile formed on her face when she finally let go of the door. She was upset and turned back so she did not notice the eyes full of shock. Lucian was staring at the room as if he was seeing a grim reaper standing in front of him.

That.. was that the illusionary magic she was trying to perform? It was so strong that even he, as a witcher, was not able to see past it.

His hands itched so much to walk towards the bed and check if he could feel her presence if he would touch her.

But he knew that if he would act Hazel would be suspicious. She was already suspicious of his actions.

‘Let it be! I would come later and check by myself what is happening here and what was she doing here!’ he decided as this was the first time he had met such a strong witch.

If she would agree to support them, then their fight against Rafael would be easier. He could already see their victory in front of their eyes.

“You are right, we will be late if we do not leave.” She walked out of the room followed by him who looked around and took a deep breath when Hazel left the room.

His eyes scanned the room one last time before closing the door and following Hazel out of the room.

Just as the door closed, the interior of the room changed once again into a cleaned room that had fruits, food and water on the table and a clean bed sheet.

The girl who was sleeping there sighed as she looked at the bed,

“It has been my habit to live here. So, even when you left. I was not able to leave the room. Tsk! What a headache.”

Anne stood up and walked towards the window from where she could see Hazel leaving with the witcher.

“It is not time for us to meet yet but that does not mean I have left you alone, sister.

I will hide in the shadows and protect you as I have always done.” her eyes softened as she looked at the smiling hazel with longing eyes.

Hazel was not the only one who was waiting for her. She had waited for Hazel all her life.

Just when her lips curled downwards, she saw Hazel turning towards her and staring at the window as if she had noticed her presence. They both continued to stare at each other for long.

In the end, Hazel shook her head and the carriage started. Soon it was no more in sight when finally Anne moved from there.

“Now it is time to hunt for the pests!”
