Chapter 256 How did she know?

256 How did she know?

Hazel looked at the girl with narrowed eyes as if trying to make pressure. She did not want to take a girl with her who would not be able to handle the fear and change her mind in the end.

"You do not have to worry, my lady. I am going to keep my word." as if sensing her susceptible eyes, the maid stood up and looked more confident when hazel finally nodded her head lightly.

"Alright, then we should leave. I still did not know what he was planning when he decided to kill all of you.`` The girls were noble and Hazel was sure Vincent had interest in each of their family the way he was trying to keep all of them happy with his deceptive kind behavior.

"I want you to tell me everything you know about Vincent and his plans on the way." she added and the girl flinched but nodded her head.

She had already decided to change sides, so she had to be prepared for everything. With that thought, she tried to keep herself calm.

Soon they started walking out and Hazel did not have any difficulty in finding their way out but what surprised Hazel was that the girl was nowhere to be seen.

She had thought that the girls would lose their way and soon come to her for help. But they were gone.

"Ah! Whatever." She walked towards the place where the fire was burning the whole area some time ago but now only smoke was left.

Lucian was standing there with his hair flowing with the air. There was a silver lining all over his body and when they walked closer, she noticed that his feet were a few inches above from the ground.

His eyes were shining. He did not notice their presence but she could feel the shivering of the maid.

"It is okay, he was only helping by putting off the fire." Hazel held the hands of the maid that surprised the maid as the nobles mostly did not touch the commoners or poor persons.

She blinked but Hazel only gave her an assured smile as if telling everything would be fine.

She knew how commoners and most of the humans have fear and hatred towards the other species.

Even if the vampires or witches were helping them, they would not accept it freely. The thought that it might be a trap always lingers in their mind.

The maid nodded and bowed her head. She was afraid that if she kept looking, her eyes would give away the truth.

Hazel waited for Lucian to calm but the silver lining around his body kept increasing and he continued to rise higher when she frowned.

She was sure there was no fire around. Everyone was already burnt like charcoal. The smoke was coming out of it but it was not dangerous anymore.

He should have stopped using his powers. But it looked like he was lost. He could not hear or see them because she had already come closer to him.

"Lucian!" she whispered softly but he did not respond when she walked closer.

The maid who was standing beside her panicked and held her wrist as if trying to stop her but Hazel looked back and shook her head.

Her eyes were calm and clear without any fear or hesitation while her face had a sfo smile as if she knew what she was doing and had confidence in herself.

The expressions on the face of Hazel stunned the maid and she let her wrist go involuntarily.

Hazel turned and walked towards Lucian while calling him a few more times but he was not reacting.

"Lucian! Are you done?" she asked loudly when her face was just a few inches away than Lucian who shivered and finally blinked.

Just as he moved, the silver lining around his body faded and his feet stumbled. He lost his balance and was about to fall on the ground when she held him from behind.

She wrapped her hands on his waist trying to balance him when his body felt limp in her arms.

He felt weak as if he had drained all his energy and once again her eyes fell on the ground that was completely burnt. He must have done a lot.

Lucian blinked and looked at her. He could not believe that he was taking support from a woman. His mistress at that!

He tried to move away but she shook her head. He would fall if she let him go.

"Do not try to act brave when you are this week. We have a long way to go and I need your help." her voice was soothing. As if spring had come after a long winter.

It felt nice to hear and he felt his body getting calmer that was turning colder.

He closed his eyes and nodded. He knew that he would lose consciousness, since he had used all his energy since morning. The fire was too much for him to handle alone but he could not give away at this moment. They both needed him.

What if there were more traps! He was forcing himself to wake up but his eyes were just not supporting them when he felt a surge of energy flowing in his body.

As if someone had given his body a jolt of lightning. The energy flew strongly. He opened his eyes with confusion when his eyes met hers.

She was still holding his waist in his arms as if he weighed nothing. The scene would have looked too romantic if not for their exchanged position when he felt that he had recovered all his lost energy.

Her body did not feel that heavier to him. He stumbled and stood up on his seat when she supported him and he looked around confused.

"Are you feeling better?" He turned to look at her again when she was looking back at him with an unwavering gaze.

"How do you know that I was a witcher?"
