“Do you want to hurt them, think about the kids, Lucian . Let everyone go!” she muttered in a soft and soothing voice hoping that he would react to it but his eyes snapped open and they looked crazier.
“You are still thinking about others, aren’t you?” his voice turned abusive and more hatred and aggressiveness could be felt in it.
“Here I am ready to kill and die for you yet you are thinking about others. How cold and cruel can you be to me?” He held her wrist and moved her hands away from his cheeks.
“If it is not you, I do not care about the life and death of others. But I know that you will be angry if they are hurt. So, do not worry.
As long as you are with me. I promise no one would be hurt. Right Vincent.” Vincent, who had hid himself behind the knights, jumped on his place when he heard his name.
When he had come to ask for help from this foolish slave, he had no idea that the boy was a witch.
He just wanted a place to hide and then Hazel in his custody since he knew that she was the only weakness of that blood sucking vampire but who would have thought that this young innocent looking boy was crazier than Rafael.
If he had known, he would not have offered him a deal.
“Tell me! Could you not see that my Hazel is waiting!” Lucian roared, and before Vincent could act, his eyes widened as he felt that his feet were leaving the ground.
Strong winds raised him high in the sky and brought him in front of Hazel and Lucian who were looking at him with annoyance.
“Are you deaf or dumb could you not hear me?” He slapped Vincent hard on his cheeks.
Vincent gritted his teeth as his face turned red with anger but he knew that he did not have enough power to go against this crazy fool. So he bowed his head and nodded.
“Of course, we never wanted to hurt anyone here. This is only a setup. A way to lure Rafael here.
We will only kill him and then leave. Then you are free to live your life with Lucian who loves you so much and the kids will have freedom.
In fact, I will make sure that they get education and then good jobs in the palace.” he spoke in a flattering voice when he noticed Lucian looking at Hazel like a puppy who was waiting for the pats and smiles of his master.
But he knew that the dog had gone crazier and he would not hesitate in biting the hands of his master if he did not get what he wanted. But if he used this opportunity well, then he could still gain from it.
“Rafael is not a good person. You do not know but I have seen him going into Diana’s room every night. Once I even saw them kissing each other.
She was entangled in his arms and they both were… I left when my eyes met Diana.
But Lucian would stay loyal to you since his love for you is much more than Rafael.
Hazel, you should not only go for power and looks. Lucian is far better than him.” he spoke like an elder brother who was worried about his younger sister and giving her advice with a concerned look in his eyes when Lucian nodded.
He moved his hands away and Vincent who was feeling like his hands were bound behind his back and someone was crushing his chest felt like he could breathe normally again.
His feet touched the ground again and he staggered a bit before getting hold of his body. He closed his eyes with a sense of relief on his face as his chest heaved up and down to gain more air in his body.
Lucian did not pay any attention to him further, he let go of Hazel’s wrist and caressed her cheeks gently.
He tucked her stray hairs and tucked them behind her ears with a pampering smile on his face but his eyes were still filled with madness.
“Did you hear him? He is cheating on you. He did not deserve you. And how i.. Just to make you happy, I had planned everything.
Can you still not see the difference?” his voice softened but the pressure in it increased when Hazel looked back at him and nodded her head.
“Yes! I finally understood the difference. You are right. Rafael is not good for me. I must be with someone who loves me and no one can love me more than you.
I will go with you, Lucian.” she nodded her head and then hugged him.
“……” Lucian was not able to react. His eyes filled with confusion and shock but soon the happiness took over and he hugged her back.
Tears of happiness came out of his eyes as he felt her warmth back in his arms. She had no idea how much he had missed it and how crazy he was going by thinking he would never be able to hug her again.
“I knew that. I knew that if I explained it to you, you would surely understand my feelings for you.” he whispered as his voice started to calm when her eyes turned darker.
She continued to hold his shoulders with one hand while she moved her middle finger in the air and soon the ropes that were bonding the kids fell on the ground.
“Run away and hide at a safe place.” she only moved her lips but used her magic in it so that her voice fell into the ears of kids who looked around, unsure if they would be able to but still nodded their head and took a step back to test the waters since every knight was looking at Hazel and Lucian with their weapons in their hands.
“You are coming with me right now. Vincent would handle it here.”
