“My lord, are you okay?” Diana held Rafael in her arms when he fell from the sky.
She was sitting in her room and contemplating how she should approach him after what happened!
When she saw her window firm, both of them were flying. Her eyes widened and she ran to the window to see that hazel was pushing him down and gritted her teeth.
More than surprised, she was annoyed. But this was her chance. She would show Rafael who loved him and who wanted to kill him.
She ran towards the garden where they were fighting. She was sure if she would save his life then he would forget about the argument they had.
Just as she reached there, Rafael was already falling on the ground.
She opened her arms with the intention of holding him. She could always accuse Hazel later. It should look like she was more worried about Rafael.
But before she could hold him, he fell on his own feet. She did not know why she felt that the wind was supporting him and making sure that he did not get injured much.
No! It must be her delusion. She held him by his shoulder and waist and checked for his injuries. There were not many except a few that were healing on their own.
“You! Were you trying to kill him?” she shouted as she looked at the sky where Hazel was sitting as if there was a bed laid for her.
It only irritated Diana further. She felt her blood boiling.
“Did you see the arrogance of the woman? She must have colluded with the witches or how could she fly!” Diana spat in anger. The kind image she had wasted so much time creating in front of her was gone in a second and her hair was bare on her face.
She was sure, now that Rafael had seen her true form, he would not love her anymore.
He would throw her out of the palace. She just has to flare his anger.
A crooked smile formed on her face with that thought as her blood surged.
She felt her whole body turn warm and trembling, “Now that she had strange powers. She is showing her true colors. Like other humans, she always wanted to kill you.
Her love and concern for you was only an act to get close to you. Now look what is she doing? We must arrest her and place in the dungeon to teach her a lesson.
You do not need to worry Rafael, I will make sure that she will suffer a lot.” the further she spoke, her eyes gleamed with the joy of finally getting her revenge from the person she hated most.
But before she could speak further, she heard Hazel scoring while looking at Diana as if she was a pitiful soul.
“You! Do you think you can run away just because you are high in the sky? I will make sure that you were caught and then dragged back.
The power would not last forever!” she challenged as she pointed at Hazel who only snickered again.
Rafael held the hands of Diana that were holding him and jerked them away surprising her. She looked at Rafael with confusion who had a darker face.
“Did I ask for your help? Who gave you the right to intervene? This is our personal matter. So leave this instant!” The voice was cold and harsh as he waved his hands to dismiss her.
Diana looked at him with a stunned look but soon her widened eyes narrowed on his cold look.
“Have you completely lost yourself under her magic? She was trying to kill you, yet you are taking her side.
What does it mean? This is not love but craziness!” not only did she not leave but also called the guards to arrest Hazel who was walking down from the skies as if there were stairs.
She stood in front of Diana with a cold smirk on her face. Her eyes have a blank that did not show any emotion yet Diana felt a strange force while standing in front of her.
She could not meet the eyes of Hazel no matter how much she tried.
“Did you forget that you are nothing but my maid of honor. A girl that was bound to serve me.
Do you think you can leave as you wish or stand against me now that you have promised to bow in front of me.
I do not let go of my maids easily. Now bow your head and apologize!” Hazel demanded creating a jolt of electricity in the body of Diana who shook with rage after hearing her insult.
“Ha! Do you think that I will do it just because you said to do it! I…” Diana was so shocked that the rest of the words died in her mouth when she felt herself bending in front of Hazel.
Her head was bowed low and her eyes were staring at the wet and muddy ground.
She struggled but was not able to stand free as if a strong force was keeping her on the ground.
Her back was straining and it started to hurt though she had the power of a strong body as she was one of the purebloods.
“Good girl! I knew that you would learn if i will remind you. Now go and bring us a glass of warm water or tea would be better. The weather is chilly.” Hazel ordered again when Diana gritted her teeth. Her face was so red with anger as if blood would drip out of it any second.
“You! What do you think of me to follow your orders? I will..” again Diana’s body moves on her own. She stood straighter, her head bobbed up and down and she turned to leave.
She was trying to struggle with the force and her every step was like she was stumbling upon some invisible stone but she could not stop herself from moving.
“Why do I suddenly feel that you went easy on me!”
