Chapter 508 - 508 Working Together!

508 Working Together!

Damien looked away! The memories were too poignant for him to forget them just like that.

“Help! Help me!” Just when he opened his mouth, they heard a pained voice and tended to see a man with a wide scar on his arm running away.

Many stared at the man but no one came forward to help him, afraid that they would be dragged too.

He looked at many for help but no one came forward when he tried to run away.

Before Damien could take a step forward, Hazel already ran towards the man and held him.

“Oh my! You are bleeding. Shall I take you to a physician or…” the man held her hands tightly. She was like the last straw he could get hold of to save his life.

“Help.. help me! They want to kill me.” he pointed behind him and hid behind her.

Though she did not have silver eyes, her hair was still silver and he had heard about a strong witch like her.

Three deep lines formed on her head but before she could turn and ask him what happened, she heard the sound of footsteps and saw three vampires running to them when the man held her tightly.

.....

“Why are you trying to kill him?” she asked in a calm voice when she noticed the desire to kill on their face.

The vampires instantly recognized her and bowed their heads.

“My lady, the man had been found in the council and failed to state his purpose. We are only taking him to the officers to know the details. The wound was only the result of his struggles and running away.” they explained in a calm voice when Hazel nodded and stared back at the man as if she was giving him last chance to explain himself.

“I.. I lost track!” he hesitated for a second when the vampires snarled.

“My lady, we have to take the man away. Right now the conditions are not good! He might be an assassin.” they warned as they took a step closer when Hazel took a step back and let the man go who panicked. He held her tightly afraid that he would die.

“No! I am not an assassin. Do I look like an assassin? I was only there to meet the lord. I wanted to tell him a few secrets. I swear! I did not have any plan to harm anyone.” He did not let her go even when they held him and tried to drag him when she closed her eyes and tried to not pay attention but in the end, she could not bear it.

“Fine! I want to see what you want to talk about. Come with me.” she waved her hands when the vampires look shocked and confused,

“But my lady, he could be a dangerous man. We never know what he is hiding.” they tried to explain but she pointed at Damien.

“You do not need to worry! I have Damien with me. Can a human be stronger than a witch and one of the strongest empires? Or do you think you can handle him better than Damien?” Although there were four of them, they did not dare to claim that they were better than him.

In the end they could only take a step back and accept her order.

The man took a breath of relief and relaxed but did not let her hands go. “Thank you, my lady! I promise that you will not regret your decision.” he assured when she smirked looking at him.

“Oh trust me, I will never regret it. If you are proven wrong, I will not hesitate to kill you even for a second.” she said with such an innocent face but looking at her eyes, he knew that she was not joking. He gulped but nodded his head when she took him to the nearest council office where he was found roaming.

She brought him to the office but Rafael was not there. Damien followed them and closed the door when the man flinched.

“Where.. Where is the lord?” he asked with worry when Dami scoffed.

“I am his wife and hold equal power in the council. You can tell me what you want to tell him.” she assured as she sat on the seat of the head of the council when he frowned. That was not what he had bargained for.

“Either tell me or go to prison where no one would ever come to meet you or find you but you will rot there for forever.” she said in a cold voice as she shrugged her shoulders when he gritted his teeth.

“The lord has decided to divide the land and powers among the humans, witches and vampires and a new map was approved for it three days ago.

The land where we live is part of the land of vampires now. We were told that we will be given new land in the empire of humans but there was an old coven of witches there. They did not give up the land but killed everyone who went to claim it.

They said it will be an equal treatment but it is not happening. When I went to talk about it to the assigned officer, he said these are small problems and they already have a lot to handle.

And then I got the offer to join the rebels. There is already a dark society forming who are going to do something bigger and most of the men with me joined it. I am afraid that something bad will happen. So, I came to ask for help.

I did not want my friends and neighbors to die when they were right at their place. I want the Lord to take action and help us!” Hazel stared at Damien as if waiting for him to say something when she felt he looked worried about it but he just looked away.

“Change does bring a lot of problems. But I will help you. Can you take me to the man who approached you to join the dark society? Damien you will go and talk to the coven of witches who are not giving his land to him?”
