Zoravec could not help but sympathise with Hecate since she had gone through so much. But he could not suppress the feeling which rose upon knowing that he was stolen from his family. Zoravec wanted to swallow everything or at least a part of it so he could live on with the hope that so day he might et his family.
Hecate on the other hand paused and breathed heavily before continuing with her story. The demoness who was sitting silently processed everything and noted down everything in her mind. She could clearly see that both of them were suffering from the conversation. Even if she wished for Zoravec not to get hurt, the particular chat was important.
Hecate continued with her story after she wiped off her tears, perhaps her mind gradually drifted towards the past scenario. Maybe the old woman imagined that grueso day and everything played out in front of her eyes once again. It was no wonder that she beca sad and hurt upon recalling the biggest loss of her life.
"Hah! I rembered that bloodthirsty monster he was the count of that city. It was not hard to find his ho because of his reputation."
She paused once again and looked at Zorave as if she had been trying to tell him sothing. Hecate knew that he would never believe in her anymore, whatever she would tell him will co with an ounce of doubt.
Zoravec saw her smiling at him with a soft expression, he could sense she was trying to ask for forgiveness. But it was impossible for him to forgive her like that. How could he forget everything in just a split second? He was deceived, kept hidden, away from his family and was never told the truth.
He averted his gaze when Zoravec could not take it anymore and wanted to avoid Hecate. However the woman knew his reaction was quite normal and she was not expecting anything different. All Hecate wanted from Zoravec was the understanding of her reason and the genuine love she had for him as a son.
"Due to the panic caused by the whole seemingly war everyone was engrossed into saving their own lives. The worse situation of the realm provided a good chance to sneak into his house."
Devi scoffed once again when Hecate paused, she grew impatient regarding the story. How could she stay calm when the whole thing was interesting as fuck.
Hecate had a sinister smile over her face which perhaps reminded her how successful she was during the abduction. The old woman chuckled a bit before speaking further, while Zoravec was still quiet. He had no idea what to conclude from the whole story. On one side he was a victim himself along with his vampire family who were deprived of their son.
Whereas upon thinking again he could not help but consider Hecate a victim too. Zoravec could feel her rage and broken heart upon losing her husband. It sohow tied a knot in his own heart as he felt resentnt towards the vampires. No doubt the human realm was plunged into darkness and endless slavery due to the vampiric conquering.
"Initially I wanted to kill his wife, I had no intentions of stealing you. In fact I had no knowledge about your birth. Hah! Now you might ask how did I even boldly dare to believe that I could kill his wife."
Hecate looked at him with a proud gaze, the woman assud that anyone of them might question her that. After all, it was not easy to kill the vampires of noble blood, who were born from other vampires.
"I did not bother whether I had the strength or not to fight her, all I desired was to make the count feel heartbroken like I was. How could he lead a happy life after making mine miserable? I decided to snatch soone dear to him just like he took away my husband."
Zoravec could see the grin on her face but behind that expression there was utter pain.
Sohow he could understand what Hecate must have felt at that ti. The whole atmosphere of the lounge turned into so mix of excitent and catharsis. Devi was the only person who enjoyed the whole thing like a tale of so old tis despite knowing it was true.
"I still rember when I barged into his house and saw his wife sleeping soundly after childbirth. Yes, she had just given you birth and was not in a state to fight . That was the mont when I saw you in the crib and instantly decided that the abduction of his son would leave him devastated compared to the loss of his wife!'
Hecate said those words with a smirk as she looked at Zoravec and hysterically leaned forward. The sudden change in her behaviour and tone stunned the boy who did not know how to react to her. Although Zoravec reflexively slid back on the table on his butt in fright. Devi on the other hand did not move acknowledging that Hecate would never hurt him.
How could she possibly harm the boy to whom she had been pleading a while ago? Moreover if Hecate really wished to kill Zoravec then she would have done it as soon as she returned to the human realm. Why would she wait for fucking 19 years and raise the vampiric boy like her own son?
"I know you will never forgive but I want you to understand my situation, Zoravec. I never intend to harm you in any possible way."
Hecate skidded forward at the edge of the sofa, but she did not lean in like before. She saw how Zoravec reacted to her and the particular was too much for her to accept.
"Just think if I wished to kill you then I would have already done it years ago. I raised you as my own son and never remarried so you would not have to deal with any step parent."
Hecate tried to reason out.
