521 Burning Her From Inside
"Thank you for saving me!" Eve let go of Diana who was in her arms and walked towards the other side of the room as she rubbed her neck trying hard to not cough but she coughed in the end and felt the lark liquid coming out of her mouth and feeling on her hands.
Her eyes narrowed but instead of worrying about it, she laughed.
"Ha! Interesting!" she shook her head when Diana felt that the woman was truly crazy! She took a step back. Previously, she still had the chance but now, she had nowhere to go. With that thought, she took a deep breath and took the step forward,
"Was that Hazel you were talking about?" asked Eve, finally looking away from her hands when Diana nodded.
"Yes, she is the one who took Rafael from me and bewitched him that he had forgotten about our lover and marriage." her voice filled with hatred and desire to kill when Eve's eyes danced with joy.
"She is powerful. I can feel the essence of hellfire in her attack. Can you see this mark?" She showed Diana a mark near her collarbone when Hazel had attacked, "I thought only father can leave this mark on immortals." she was not a human, she could not be hurt by mortals, either witches or vampires no matter how strong they were since she had not taken a human form.
But Hazel was able to wound her immortal body which she had never expected.
Diana's eyes flickered too. She was sure that Hazel would not stand a chance against the devil. But if that was not the case then, "can you not defeat her?" she asked with worry, "if that is the case, then i did not want to fight with her since i know that hazel is merciless. She would kill you. It would be better that you accept defeat and leave. I will find another way." she shook her head with worry when the eyes of Eve darkened.
"Accept defeat and leave." the words rolled slowly on her lips as she spat them out as if they were a spell, "what is that?" she laughed.
"She has the powers of my fathers. Would it not be interesting to know if she was more powerful or i.. The real daughter of my father." she laughed as her eyes turned crazy when Diana smirked and nodded too.
"But you are too weak and I could not care about you in my next encounter and I did not want that lover of yours to interfere in between." she paused and then looked at Diana, "lure her out for me. I want to meet her alone in the dark woods where a part of the woods was connected straight to us. Even if others wanted, they would not be able to come looking for us there."
"But how would I do that? She is heavily guarded and Rafael would never let her go since she is pregnant!" pregnant! That means she is going to give birth to a devil?
"That only makes it more interesting!" The devils do not give birth like humans. They are born out of the part of the body or through blood directly. She wanted to see how the baby would let her mother stay alive when it had to survive on the body of a human.
"Then you do not even need to worry about luring her or killing her. She would die on her own."
"On her own?"
"Hmm, have you felt that she had grown weaker from before or stronger?"Diana paused and contemplated hard. She recalled how Hazel was able to control her. And how she had burned half of the empire on a whim.
"She is getting weaker!" Eve needed a knowing smile.
"Even if she had the flames of hell. She had the body of a human. She could not give birth to a child with the blood of the devil naturally. She is going to die in the process. All you need to do is replace her in the life of your lover when she dies and in exchange.. You have to give me her child."

"Tsk! She ran away." Lucio could not help but stare at the scene with cold eyes as he walked towards Hazel who was standing with her newly found mother.
Hazel was surprised to see him there but still kept her clam, "i know that you are aware of my support towards them." he did not try to hide the evident as he smiled and took out a stone from his pocket, "i was in the delusion that i can defeat Rafael and then show you that he did not deserve you but me."
"Lucio! It is not about who is stronger. I would have loved him even if he would have been weak." she sighed, "i know that we had been closer once. But the one who loved you is Bella, not me. I didn't even know you when I got married to Rafael and that is why, it was not me who betrayed you."
He looked at her with a pained smile as he nodded his head.
"And I am not going to hold you liable for it. All I want is peace now. That was the only reason I did not join them." He took out a note from his pocket and placed it in his hands, "this is the list of those who are conspiring against Rafael and you. I am growing tired of it. So I am leaving this place with Lilian."
"Lilian?" the girl who had attacked her when they had met for the first time, "yes, she had waited a long time for me and I did not want another one to resnet love and patience. I want to see the world with her and start a new life somewhere else." he pulled her in his arms and she hugged him back with a sigh.
"One day, I will come back as the godfather of your son."
