“Then I could only say that legends did not do justice to your story. You are much more beautiful than you were depicted in them.”

“…”

“Hahahahaha” she laughed hard as she shook her head. She was not expecting this kind of reply.

“Thank you. Then shall I conclude that you fell in love with me because of my beauty?” she teased but he nodded without shame or embarrassment.

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ “Yrs, the moment I saw you for the first time from the stage, my heartbeat had increased and I felt a strange feeling.

I think I fell in love with you from the day but it only increased with time as I came to know you better.” his face that sweet smile that hazel had loved most.

He had been with her when Rafael should have supported her but with his obsession over Bella, he had never paid attention to Hazel.

He had ignored her and left her to face everything alone. If Hazel would have trusted Rafael, she would have never hid that Vincent was tormenting her..

Even when she asked him who she was a few minutes ago, he did not reply to her.

“Tsk! What if I turned ugly?” she asked as she did not want to think about Rafael for now. Her mind would only explode if he continued to think about their current situation.

“It did not matter since I have already fallen in love with every part of you.

You have no idea how lucky I am to have you in my life.” but instead of feeling happy, she felt like a rock had been pressurizing his heart and he was having trouble breathing.

“Hazel..” he took a step closer but then stopped as his body froze.

She opened her eyes to look at him when she noticed that his face had turned colder.

She looked behind him only to notice the door opening and Rafael entering the room.

He stared at Lucian who was standing in the corner with his hands clasped in front of him while Hazel was lying on the bed with her eyes staring at him.

“You did not go against Vicent?” he asked as soon as he sat on the chair. He did not ask Lucian to leave, so Lucian continued to stand there though he could feel the pressure coming from Rafael.

“Would it have made any difference? If i would have accused him, he would have accused me back.

But my statement was kind enough and I am sure it has helped the council more.” since it was only Vicent tha had blamed her own while she was so naive and kind that she did not backstab him even when everyone knew that he was the culprit.

“The case is solved. Your whole family would end up in prison and all the boxes of Beryllium are given to me so that I can dispose of them.

Everyone that had supported this plan would end up in prison too.

We can leave after the ball party tomorrow where the selection of a new emperor would be done.” she nodded as she had already heard all this from Lucian already.

“After the party, I will leave for my home and you…”

“And me..” she asked back when she felt the hesitation on his face but his eyes turned cold and so as his face as he looked back at her again,

“And you are free to stay here. I have asked the council and since the root of the war between humans and vampires had ended with the demise of your family. They will not force you to come with me.

You would be given the title of a monique and you can start your new life here.

If you need any help from me, then please do tell me since you have been very supportive and it would not have ended this soon if it not have been for you.” ha! So that was it,

She knew that he had feelings for her. She had felt it more than enough time to know that he loved her but was he just discarding her since he was waiting for her.

Wouldn’t it make both of them a fool?

“I only want a few answers in exchange for all the time we had spent together!” he nodded his head as he was already expecting her to ask if there was a chance that he would ever love her.

He wanted to tell her that it would never happen since he was already in love with Bella. Choosing her would be equal to betraying Bella. What if she would come back soon.

“What if your Bella never comes back?”

“….” the fierce look in his eyes and the desire to kill was enough for her to understand that he was devoted to her.

“What if she was here but you could not recognize her? Does your love have no other proof except the nodding of a blind witch or some rituals?

What if she had not taken birth as a witch but a human or vampire this time? Are you sure that just the statement of others would be enough?

What about your own feelings?” Lucian could feel the pressure in the air.

It was so heavy that it was suffocating. He felt that he would not be able to bear it.

Rafael’s body was emitting so much cold that everything would freeze soon.

“Why? Do you think I am a fool to not recognize her or do you think that all those witches are fools!

Or  Do you want to claim that you are Bella? ” he asked in a tone that was adding the pressure that anyone would have trembled and shook his head with the fear of death but she nodded back.

“What if I am? What if i tell you that the Bella you are looking for has died and what is left is me? What if I tell you that I am the one you are looking for?”

[hey, i need your comment to tell me who do you want Hazel to chose now? lets decide her love life together]
