494 [Bonus chapter]

The boy smiled and nodded his head. He held the open arms of his mother but before she could pick him up, her eyes widened and she staggered.

She turned and stared at the witch who had thrown the dagger on her back.

“My lady!” the man shouted as he ran to hold her but it was late. She had fallen on the ground.

“Hold Rafael!” she whispered when the vampire took the dagger out from her back.

It was improbable to kill a vampire with a dagger but the blue shine of it told the vampire that it was covered with Beryllium.

“She would not live anymore and so as you, vampire.” The witch that was flying in front of the window threw another dagger but before it could hit the vampire, she stood up and took another hit on her chest shocking the man and Rafael who was crying now.

“Mother..” He shouted as he stood up and ran to her.

He was sitting silently so far because he was sure that his mother would win. His parents were strongest and he could not imagine them losing any war.

He did not know what was so different about the dagger but he was sure that his mother could not die with the hit of a dagger. So, it came to him like a shock.

.....

“Now, take Rafael out! I will handle her.” she shouted to the man holding him who finally came out of his shock and held Rafael in his arms who struggled to go to his mother.

“We need to leave, young lord.” he shouted as he dragged Rafael with him but the witch was not ready to let them go.

He tried to follow them but Agatha held the witch down. Even when she was dying and had gone weaker, she held the neck of the witch and pulled it apart from her body.

The eyes of the witch widened but before she could shout, her limp body had already fallen on the ground.

She stood there as a wall to protect her son until they were gone.

“But mother is..”

“Your mother is a strong lady and she is giving your life to save you, my lord. You can not let her sacrifice go in vain. You have to run away and save yourself so that you will come back one day and rule this empire. You have to be the strongest , my lord. That day, you will take revenge for the death of everyone. Did you understand me?” The young child only understands that his mother is gone and he will take revenge from the witches one day.

Since then he was finding the witches and killing them but after meeting Bella.. He had forgotten this bitter truth.

“Your father even said that we both will rule the world together! Did you forget that too, Rafael?” asked Diana with a cold smirk on her face when the reverie of Rafael was broken.

“Not only have you forgotten their sacrifice completely but you have even started to care for the witches. Loving them and even marrying them! Ha! You have disappointed your parents badly, Rafael! I am sure that they w0uld have left you even if they would have been alive.” she said with a look of disgust filling her eyes.

“That is enough, Diana!” Scarlet shouted as she came forward and slapped her daughter, shocking her to the core.

Diana covered her red cheeks with her hands as she glared at her mother.

“Why? What have I said wrong? Didn’t your lord want me and Rafael to marry? Did he not assign you the responsibility? But you.. You were only busy supporting him.

Even when he did not take you as his mother and insult you, you forgot about us completely and only cared about him.

You never hated Bella or Hazel for they took my place. But you only hated them because they were witches and humans. You only placed his happiness above all of us. You are corrupted too.” she spat at the face of her mother stunning her who felt aggrieved and raised her hands again but this time Diana held them and jerked them back.

“That is enough! I am not a weak child who will bow in front of your powers. I have my own strength!” She took out the dagger covered with Beryllium. “I know that Hazel had given her healing powers to all of you to save you but even i want to see how far it would work.” with that she stabbed Scarlet with the dagger shocking everyone on the spot.

“You are a failure as a mother!” she stabbed again as she kept staring into the eyes of Scarlet.

Scarlet was a strong vampire, if she wanted, she could have stopped Diana but she did not.

“I hate you to my core. You never thought about me while making a decision.” Rafael ran forward but Scarlet shook her head. Diana noticed the small interactions but it only infuriated her further.

“Ha! Even now.. He is closer to you, not me. And he did not care about me but you! If you wanted, you could have asked him to choose me! But you never did that for your own daughter. You failed me. You are the one responsible for my condition.” she spat with a fierce look when her eyes turned redder and madness filled them when Scarlet nodded her head.

She did not care about the blood dripping from her abdomen as she tried to caress the face of Diana.

“You are right! I failed as a mother. I failed to explain to you what you meant to me and I failed to explain to you that love can not be forced, Diana. It is my fault that you thought you could take everything just because you are my daughter.” her words were barely above a whisper but Diana did not understand any of it. All she knew was that her mother was still blaming her for her condition.

“That is enough! Go die!”
