“Are you willing to sacrifice so much just to avoid having dinner with which I can force you to have with anyti once they both would be gone from your life?” her heart palpitated and the feeling of fear that used to fill her whenever she was called to et her family when she was a kid filled her again.
She had known that they had hated her since the start though she never understood why! There was one more illegitimate child of her father but he lived in a palace and was treated like any other prince.
But she was treated badly because she was a girl! If only she had been legitimate or at least a boy!
“Sigh! Looks like you are too selfish and have no desire to save both of them.” he shook his head in disappointnt and turned to walk away when she finally ca back to her senses and shook her head.
No! She did not want any of them to face trouble because of her.
“Wait! I agree to have dinner with you alone.“ She took hasty steps to block his way when he did not stop even when she had agreed to his unconditional and saw a non-client look on his face that confused her..
“I said, ” I am ready to have dinner with you alone. Now stop them.” If this continued one of the shadow knights would be dead soon or maybe both with their condition when he laughed with an evil glint in his eyes and looked at her as if she was a fool.
“Darling, that offer was valid till I was waiting for you there. The mont I turned to leave, the offer ended.
You must bla yourself for hesitating.” he was not going to help her in the first place. He was just playing with her.
The realization not only infuriated her but also brought her to the edge. If he would not agree then how?
She hated how the lives of others were at stake because of her. They are only tornting him to show their power to her and here she thought that being an empress would bring power and change for her.
“Aww, look at your face! Your confidence is crumbling. Do you care that much about this slave whom you are calling your knight” he chuckled when he noticed how her eyes filled wih surprise.
Did she think he was a fool to not recognize the ring he was wearing which is used to keep the spell of the witches working.
“Or is it your husband whose respect you want to save? I can not understand how a human could care about blood sucking monsters? Are you not afraid that he would drink yours or have you already served him in that area?
But then i did not understand why are you so worried about a slave too? Is it because you think you are no better than him?” his index finger rolled on the tendril falling on her hair as he looked at her as if she was a thing that should be used and discarded.
A new and precious toy that he wanted at any cost so that he could feel the thrill of breaking it.
He could see how her eyes turned fierce and then intent to kill filled her face. She was still a novice when her emotions showed on her face and she did not even try to hide them.
“But if you are so worried about a monster and a slave, then i will give you another offer, if you will not accept it this second, you will lose all your chance to save any of them.
So, are you going to accept the offer or shall I leave? After all, I have other things to do too!” he asked but no matter how long she stared at his nasty face, he did not explain what the offer was, what was he asking her this ti.
If it was coming from his m0uth then it would be nothing good but what choice did she have? She could not travel to both of them.
So, when a frown ford on his face and he let go of her hair again, she held his hands.
“I accept your offer!” a nefarious grin ford on his face. Though he knew that she was going to accept the deal, it still brought him joy.
“You know why your kind of people can be broken easily? Because you entangle yourself with every other being.
You are just too kind. But I am glad that you are. Now wait for my maid in your room. She would co soon to bring you to .” She let a chill run down her spine at the sa ti a strong desire to punch him to wipe that smirk off his face but she controlled and nodded his head when he finally waved his hands towards the knights.
“That is enough play for today. Go and ask a physician to treat you.“ The shadow guards stopped the instant and bowed their heads as they left from there while Lucian turned to stare at her.
He was looking confused as to why they left suddenly but when his eyes fell on the close proximity that man and Hazel was sharing, his blood boiled and he ran towards them with an intent to kill.
He raised his sword and was about to attack Vincent again when Hazel ca forward and blocked Vincent from her body.
“What are you trying to do? He is my brother.” She glared at him, making him confused as he stared at her and then at the man who had a wide grin on his face.
Vincent chuckled and then held her shoulders when he felt her flinch and his grin grew wider,
“See, how much did she love ? You are creating trouble for both of us. Now stay here like an obedient dog while I show her her room.”
