BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 [Bonus chapter] Following the shadows!
“Are you sure that you are just a normal human, Hazel?”
“….” Hazel was scared out of her wits when she looked at his frowning face! It seemed as if he would kill her any moment!
“I.. I am sure that I am an ordinary human, my lord!” flustered with his actions, her voice was trembling!
She did not even understand what kind of question was that! If not human, did he think she was a vampire without fangs or a demon or did he think that she was a witch too!
If she were one, she would have changed him into an ugly toad.
“Oh! If that would have been the case, then you would not have been able to enchant so many vampires!
I must say, you are a fairy!!” huh! His eyes twinkled as he replied and then he chuckled looking at her scared face that stunned her!.
The reaction of his face changed so drastically in the blink of an eye that she would have thought it were two different persons if she had not seen it with her own eyes!
Was he just tricking her! This was all just a joke!
As if reading her thoughts, he nodded his head without any tinge of embarrassment!
“Of course, I am telling the truth! You look like a fairy with that silver hair of yours!” ha! To think that she would believe it!
Though she gritted her teeth and glared at him for scaring her, her chest felt warm with the sudden complement and she looked away!
“It is getting late, hazel! You should go and get ready, we will leave as soon as you are ready and come at the entrance!” she looked back at the sky which was not dark anymore.
Red hue had started to fill it and she nodded!
“Then I will see you in the carriage later!” she walked away as soon as he nodded and did not turn back to look at him even once!
Rafael’s eyes turned cold as soon as she left and a wary smile formed on his lips.
“Why did I even ask when I already knew the answer!” he stared at the sky as if he could see the glimpse of someone higher in the sky with a melancholic look on his face.
Just as he was staring, a cold breeze flew past him and even that wary look disappeared from his face making it colder.
“What the hell do you think you were doing here!” a shadow loomed behind him and groaned without giving a proper reply!
“Do not make excuses, if i would see you lingering near her ever again, i would make sure that you would never be able to come out!” the shadow groaned again but nodded and finally the dark aura leaving the body of Rafael left him!
“Have you handled Natalie properly?” The shadow finally nodded and started bouncing as if asking for praise but Rafael just nodded without any look of appreciation on his face.
“I am taking her with me, you will stay here and look over the action of Scarlet! Tell me if you find anything suspicious!” the shadow nodded and then disappeared in the air.
“Tsk! And here i thought that you are slave of my will! You are getting more and more disobedient! If it continues, I will have to punish you too!” he whispered to the air but as if the air was wary of him too as the strong breeze hollered into his air but then flew away when he chuckled.
Walking back to his room, he ran a hand in his hair as he looked at himself into the mirror! The image of Hazel leaning on the ground and yawning flashed past his eyes and his expression softened but when he remembered her face full of fear, his eyes turned cold again.
He had kept these shadows with him for so long that he had always taken them as part of him. He had felt proud that he owned them and controlled them.
He had shown them to his enemies and in the war for killing both humans and vampires! They grew when he saw fear in the eyes of his enemies and even when the shadows broke the law to feed themselves of innocent lies, he never cared much since it never affected him.
But the mere thought of her getting killed by them left him scared! He had never threatened them as he had always taken them as his real family. So, he felt bad for them,
But if given choices, he would still make the same decision. Even if he had to abandon them, it would be the only right thing to do to save her life and make it better with him!
“My lord!” he titled his head and stared back at the door where his loyal man Edward was standing with a letter in his hands.
“Come in! Have you handled her corpse?” the man bowed his head and nodded
“I have been lacking the samples for the experiment anyway. Thank you for the gift, my lord!” Rafael chuckled as he knew very well that the bodies that reached the hands of his aide were in worse condition.
Not only did he open their body and check their parts but he also took out the organs that did not die and used them for testing later!
According to him, even humans can be powerful if they use a proper method to do so!
“Thanks is not needed! I would rather ask you to think of a proper excuse for lady Natalie and then put blame on her for accidents.
“Yes my lord!” Though the man nodded, he did not take initiative to walk out of the room while continuing to look at the man hesitantly who raised a brow!
“My lord, why are you taking a human in the coven of witches?!”
