470 Something Was Wrong With Her

“How did no one hear it?” the count shook his head while wiping the sweat from his face

“I have no idea how it happened. I am telling you what the guards told me.” frustration was showing on his face when Michael frowned.

He walked forward and touched the wall. He felt a slight trembling on the wall and frowned.

“There is something in the walls, I can feel the vibration.” he explained when hazel touched the wall.

Her eyes closed instantly. She could hear the small voices,

“La fe shu, atlania re tu!” The whispers rang in her ears and the words left her mouth unconsciously when the whole ground started to shake as if an earthquake had hit it and the wall started to move closer.

“The whole room is converging! What did you do?” The count even forgot that she was the empress for a second as his eyes widened and he looked at her with shock and hostility.

If he was not wrong, he felt his eyes turning silver for a second like other witches and she whispered a spell.. Damn! That woman spelled in front of them.

“We need to run out of here.” Michel stared at her with a frown too but he did not blame her without any proof.

.....

He held the hands of the count and dragged him out while staring hard at her.

Hazel blinked. She looked around with confusion. She knew that she had whispered the spell unconsciously. But….

“Are you waiting to turn into a trampled tomato! Come out here, right now.” Michael shouted as he forwarded his hands towards her.

There was not enough space for him to enter again. When he reached out with the count, he was expecting her to follow them but who would have thought!

“Lady hazel, if you do not come out right now, lord Rafael will burn us to death.” he warned when the dazed woman finally blinked and her eyes were cleared.

He took a breath of relief when she finally held his hand and he dragged her out just the moment when the mine collapsed and filled with stones.

The pull was strong enough that she landed in his arms, hugging his chest and holding his shirt.

He covered her by wrapping his hands around her waist instinctively as he saw the mine collapsing.

Nathan, who was still discussing the matter with the guards, came running towards them and was stunned to see the girl in the arms of his master.

Michael was a casanova and had a bunch of girls around him all the time but he had never touched a married woman. That was his rule.

“What happened here?” he asked when his eyes widened looking at the large stone covering the entrance of the mine when the count stared at Hazel as if trying his best to find the proper words.

“The walls were cut to take out Beryllium. When I tried to take out a few more, the cracks widened and the wall collapsed.” the count stared at Michael with parted lips.

He was sure that Michael was standing three feet away from the walls. It was Hazel who was touching them.

“Right count?” The count blinked and noticed that Michael was already staring at him with eyes full of warning that he nodded his head instinctively.

“The lady is too shocked by the incident. She needed to sit and take some rest. Is there any tea house around this place?” he asked the count who took a few seconds to process his words and then nodded his head.

“Yes, there are a few food stalls around. The guards and staff go there to have their meal. But I am not sure if it would be upto the taste of your majesty and the lord.” he said with some hesitation when he realized he had offered a cart food to them but Michael only nodded his head.

“Then, you must stay here with Nathan and check if the way could be made again without affecting the mine. Me and my lady would come in an hour.” he pushed Hazel a bit who finally let go of his arms and stood straight.

Her eyes were still staring at the door of the mine as she felt his hands on her waist again as he navigated her out of the room.

They did not take the carriage as she had thought but he confirmed the way from the guard and they continued to walk there.

“Are you okay?” She raised her head and looked at him as if she was not expecting this question from him.

“I am confused.” she confessed, “the spell was to see the past, it should not have acted like that. But the whole mine.. Now the count would think that I did it.”

“You didn’t?” he asked with confusion as a dark ray of light passed through his eyes when she realized even he thought that she tried to kill them and destroy the mine.

“Why would I do that when I was inside the mine too? There must be a spell casted on the walls of the mine which was triggered by my spell and it collapsed.“ Though the theory was doubtful, she did not find any other reason behind it when she saw him rubbing his forehead.

“Hazel, do you know why i was asking you to not share your secret with lord Rafael..” he asked when she sighed, but before she could tell him that she knew, he opened his mouth again,

“He was in love with a witch a few decades ago. He had thought of marrying her even when she was just a slave but she betrayed him. She was there to spy on him.

So, he not only killed her by giving her back to her enemies but he even killed all of them. He killed all the witches who were siding with that witch and those who were against it.

He hates witches because his first love who turned into his enemy was a witch too.”
