Lucian ran to the annex building instead of the physician room. He knocked the door a few times but when he did not hear a voice, he opened it with full force.
He entered and looked around. The place was dark and empty but he could not be sure.
He knew that the witch was strong enough to create the spell of illusions and what he was seeing could be a scene that did not exist.
He opened his mouth but closed it again. He wanted to shout her name but realized that he had no idea of what it was.
“What are you doing here?” he heard two guards coming in and staring at him with a frown.
“Do you not know you are a slave? What are you doing by running around as if you own this place?” They gave him a cold harrumph but he did not have time for their childish acts.
“Hazel, do you know her? She is injured and Rafael had taken her with him.” he shouted as his eyes ran all over the room.
The guards looked at each other and then at him as if he had gone crazy.
“If the princess is injured and her husband had taken her with him. Why are you getting so agitated?” asked one of them with a deep frown on his face.
“Yes, if you are worried for the lady, you should go to the physician. Why are you shouting in this dark place where no one resides.
It is barren that even his highness the crown prince had asked not to guard this palace anymore since there is nothing that could be stolen.“ The man looked at the gloomy and dark place with a bit of fear.
The place looked creepy once they cleared all the furniture from her especially in the night when there was no source of light left.
“Come out, we have other work to do too.” said the first knight with a look of impatience when Lucian did not even spare a glance at them.
As a slave, he sure was haughty. He did not care about them as if they were fools. He stomped his feet with annoyance but that didn’t make much difference to Lucian who was anxious.
It would only be a matter of seconds when her wounds would heal completely. If that happened, then even if he found that witch here, Hazel would be done for.
“I said please. We do not have much time. Hazel is.. I did not know but i am sure that you do.,
You know everything and if Rafael comes to know about it, then he would..” he pulled his hair with annoyance.
It was irritating talking to an empty room when he did not know if she was hearing it or not. What if he was waiting his time here when Hazel would be getting hurt by Rafael.
Even if her wounds could heal what if he killed her. Witches could not evade death or the wounds on vital organs. What if he stabbed her heart.
His nails dug deeper into his skin as he felt he was too weak. He swore his love for her but was never able to protect her no matter what he did.
Was he even worth her? No! That was not the time to think about his worth.
“If you are here, help me for the last time. I promised that I would do anything in exchange. Please!” he fell on his knees as he begged the witch he had met her.
She could be invisible or hidden. What if she was snickering at him when he was ready to sacrifice his life for her.
“Hey you, are you crazy? Whom are you talking to like that?” The guard felt an eerie feeling the way the boy was talking to the darkness.
He even felt an illusion that a shadow moved in the darkness when he fell on his knees that shivered him.
“Raldon, help me in dragging this fool out. What if he was calling demons into the palace. I am not feeling good about it.” he shouted at the other guard who had already taken steps back and reached the door.
The second guard flinched and whispered a curse under his breath as he went to help his friend to drag that strange boy out when Lucian closed his eyes and whispered a spell.
All the curtains of the room started to blow with the wind and the temperature of the room fell.
The room turned so cold that both guards held each other closely. They hugged each other with fear and then ran away.
They did not care what that man was trying anymore as their life was more important.
The whole room was filled with strong gale and a hurricane started to form in the middle of the room when finally lights started to lit around all the walls and footsteps could be heard again.
“You should have sent the men out first.” the low whisper of the woman could be heard who slowly apparated from the corner and stared at Lucian with anger.
“And why are you making a fuss? Hazel would not die that easily.
She had been getting injured ever since she had married that dumb vampire. He would take her to a physician. Why are you getting so riled up about it?” she asked as she sat on the bed that was not there a second ago when he shook his head and stood up.
“That is not what I am worried about. Hazel, she is a witch and she has the ability to heal herself like others but you do not know that her husband is a crazy maniac when it comes to witches.
He would kill her when he would see that she did not have wounds anymore.
Come with me and act like a physician, do something but stop her wounds from getting healed immediately.”
“What did you say? But how could that be.. I have checked that the seal was not broken!!!”
