“Since you all want to leave with Luhan, I will not stop you. And as a witch, I know once you leave the building, I will not be able to stop you from leaving the empire or getting lost among the humans.
But I still expect that we will work hard together for the progress of the witches later.” all of them exchanged glances but nodded their heads.
“Then I will not take your time.” She stood up and all of their faces had a look of relief. They all bade her goodbyes as they left while she kept standing near the balcony.
“They will leave and hide.” Rafael walked inside the door just as the witches left. His face has a soft and worried look.
He came closer to her and hugged her from behind while kissing the bare part of her shoulders.
“I know! They did not trust me or take me as their queen.” she said in a gloomy voice as she stared at the distance. Her face was cold and no emotions could be read from there.
“But then, I never wanted to be one from the start. All I want is a better place for everyone where Vampire, Witches and Humans are not fighting with each other.
She sighed in the end as she felt she was the only fool who is fighting for such a reason while the rest of them are just thinking about their personal goals.
He could see the worries dancing on the face and making her eyes dim, and rubbed her shoulders as if trying to spend some warmth in her cold eyes.
“You would be a good leader and I am sure when others see your effort, they will be inspired by you. It is just that, everyone thinks that your dream is distant and unrealistic.” she nodded her head and then turned back to look into his crimson eyes that always seem to be shining whenever she looked at them.
As if I was the only light in her dark life, she felt better just by looking at them.
“I will be here for you even when everyone will lose hope. I will be the light that will never let you fall in the dark again.” he knew though hazel never showed it, she was more worried than her past life about falling into the abyss where the witches think that she belongs to.
She smiled and then leaned on his chest. His chest was warm and the soft breathing of his heart beat made her calmer.
“Have you checked the man?” She asked me to change the topic but she didn’t mind it.
He did not want to force her for anything. He would just wait for her silently so that whenever she felt drained of all these responsibilities, she could come and lean on him.
“Yes, I have asked the knights to gain all the information about Declan. But there is nothing much.
He is a commoner who was lucky to get admissions in the academy under a scholarship program. After clearing all the exams, he applied to the council.
His application was rejected four times due to different reasons, one even saying that he was a witcher but in the end, he was selected by the current team.
He had been a diligent employee since then but he was not liked because of his poor background.
I am sure even this project was given to mock him. But I think he is doing a decent job.
At least he is not someone I want to kill every time i see them.“ Hazel didn’t know if she could take the last line as a compliment but she still smiled and nodded.
When the words sank in her mind, her hands paused, “a witch?” That was new! She never felt that the man was a witch and so Anne.
“His parents were human with a long history for both families and I have checked, his hair did not turn silver even when he entered my room which had a spell nullifier effect.
If he had turned his hair with magic, he would have been caught.” his eyes had a shade of darkness when he said so.
“Well, as long as Anne is happy. I didn’t want her to see suffering again. But I want you to keep the knights following them in the dark.” he nodded instantly and she finally let the matter go.
She was sure that Rafael would make sure that Anne was safe. Not because she was his sister in law but she was the only one who could help him if Hazle ever lost control.
As the dark witch, there is a possibility that she would lose herself in the darkness and be part of it.
“Since my wife is not worried about others anymore. Would she be kind enough to give me a kiss?” he asked in a tone that was full of hurt as if he had been deprived of his rights when she raised a brow.
It was only last night that they had so many rounds. Yet he was acting like that.
“The more I kiss my wife, the more I feel my hunger increasing!” he chuckled as he pulled her into his embrace and captured her lips.
She did not protest anymore and let him do whatever he wanted. She could not deny that she wanted all of it too.
How much time had passed when he finally let go of her swollen lips and licked her lips. The drop of blood of her sweet body and her sweet scent was still lingering in his mouth giving him an intoxicated feeling.
He smiled satisfied when she looked at him again.
“You need more blood than that. If you are not have anyone as your blood slave, then i am glad to offer mine,” she pulled her hair to the other side and let her bare collarbones reach closer to his lips.
“Tch! I thought you are determined to end the slavery in the empire.”
