“And you think that I would believe you. Ha!” Rafael looked surprised as he touched his mouth that was moving again. “If you think that behaving kind with your words and going easy on a fight would be enough to deceive then you are wrong.
Witches only know how to lie and deceive.” he could feel the pressure she was putting on the gun to snatch it again but he held it tightly.
The witch had the elental power of wind and he was glad that she could not burn things. He could handle so breeze easily.
“Did you not feel strange that she could heal herself now. Do you think powers co without any repercussions?” his hands hesitated just for a second before he pulled the trigger again.
“You Buffon!” she gritted her teeth as she jumped high into the sky still the gun was able to graze her hands a bit.
The spell she was murmuring worked later, just as he lunged at her to suck her again, she had already used the illusion spell.
The whole place turned darker..
“Rafi, I will miss you.” thump! His whole body froze when he heard the voice.
He turned to look at Isabella and walked towards her. Her feet were staggering. Blood was flowing out of her mouth and her eyes had turned red just like him.
“Bella! She cupped his cheeks and caressed them softly.
“I want you to break the bond binding us. You should leave happily once I leave.” her breath hitched and pain could be seen spreading on her face.
She was dying.
“This!” He had lived through this scene before. He had seen her dying and whispering the sa words to him. This was the darkest mory of his life.
“You are not real.” he whispered softly as he caressed her and hugged her. Her soft breathings were not there. She was just an illusion yet he could not let go of her.
“Bella! I am waiting for you every second. You have promised that you would co back one day and find .. But slowly, I’m losing hope.
Tell , Hazel is you!” He knew that he was talking to himself since she was just a dream, a mirage, yet he couldn’t help but hold her previously in his arms.
“I will die soon.” she replied as a programd puppet who did not hear a word he was saying when he sighed.
“I know and then this illusion will break! That witch was vicious to tornt like this.” he closed his eyes and continued to rub her back when soon, her image started to falter and so as the scene of her death.
Her breath turned shallower and soon she closed her eyes. He kissed her forehead gently as he bid him goodbye and then stood up.
The mont he stood up, everything around him faded and he found himself standing in the annex building alone.
“Hazel!” He ran out of the annex building when he noticed the flas had turned violent and were burning the whole palace.
All the counciln and mbers of their family were standing near him while staring hard at their ho. But Hazel was not among them.
“That Lucian!” he was the one who had taken Hazel from her.
Co to think of it, he was the one who had brought the witch too. Though there might be a chance that the witch had fooled him, he had seen Lucian’s eyes flickering when the knights attacked them.
He gritted his teeth as he looked around. His eyes were filled with anxiety as he cursed himself. He should have killed Lucian by then.
“My lord!” Diana bowed her head and her eyes filled with relief as she ran towards Rafael.
She was just an inch away from him when she held his arms and leaned on his shoulders as if she was trying to calm her raging heart by hearing his soft breaths.
Her face slowly started to relax. She could not explain how worried she was for him.
“Have you seen Hazel?”
“……..” her whole body turned rigid and she felt like a snake had crawled on her body.
Anger and hatred filled her face when she cursed the existence of Hazel. If not for that bitch, Rafael would have been hers.
“She was with Lucian. Have you seen any of them?” he repeated as he held her arms and peeled her away from his chest.
The woman who had sour expressions on her face adjusted them and feigned a look of worry but shook her head.
“No! I just ca back when I noticed the palace burning on fire. What had happened to her and why are you looking so fanatic? “ Even though she did not know about the matter, she wanted him to forget about it and spend his ti saving Hazel.
“Why are you back? I rember giving you the task of keeping an eye on the black market. The lost goods must be sold there only.” he snarled as he ignored her and looked around.
Hazel must be here sowhere. He could feel that she was still safe. But that did not help him in getting better. He was feeling annoyed at everyone and especially at himself.
He should have killed all of them when he had the chance.
“Rafael, I have found so important clues. If we go and follow them, I am sure we will find more boxes of Beryllium.
We will be able to find who had conspired against us.” she held his arms as she tried to pull him towards herself when his eyes turned colder.
He stared at their entangled hands and then at her face. His eyes were so intense that she let him go instinctively.
“Do not forget who you are and my position. If you have found sothing important, bring it here rather than asking to follow you. Now go and find where Hazel is if you want to continue living.”
