“Pardon?” taken aback by the sudden reply, Hazel blinked and looked at him with shock but his expression did not change a bit as if he was just talking about any insignificant person whose life meant nothing while she could feel her heart thumping so hard that it would just burst out any moment.

“It is as you have heard. I want you to create a rift between your father and me. Strong enough to make me kill him.

It would be fine if they were given the death penalty by proper law too.

It would not be difficult for you. Would it be?” the way he asked her, he was already sure that she could give him more than enough reasons to kill her father.

That made her think how much did he know about her relationship with her father?

When she was offered to be the bridge, their father had made sure to present an amiable and loving relationship between her and his family so that he could show how devastated he was when she got killed._.

She knew that he hated vampires and always wanted to kill them and the peace treaty was nothing but a hoax to gain more power among the council before starting another war.

Though she was nothing but a bait among all that and wanted to teach her father a lesson, she had never thought of killing him.

Even the imagination of seeing them left goosebumps in her body.

Call her filial or weak, but she would not help Rafael after knowing that he wanted to kill her family.

“I can see you are in doubt but did you forget that your father had sent you here to die so that he could blame me and wage another war that would have killed thousands of innocent men and then treat us like a beast?”

“But that did not happen. Did it? I did not try to poison you and you did not kill me. The council was silent and peace ensued!” though she was trying to defend, her voice was trembling and her resolve was crumbling. She knew that her father was at fault.

But her insides clenched just by thinking that she would be the reason for their death. No! She couldn’t do it.

He could feel the dilemma she was facing. He knew that she was kind enough to not agree about it at once but he had never thought that she would run away from facing the truth!

“I would have done so even without telling you since we are invited to their palace by your brother anyway.

I still informed you so that you know what you are delving into. I still can’t believe that you are not ready to fight against the one who had abandoned you since birth yet dared to use you as a pawn in his greed.

I must say I am disappointed Hazel!” His words pierced her heart as she looked away.

He might be right but she did not want to stain her hands with the blood that was running in her veins too.

Just because they have made a mistake does not mean that she will follow their path! In the end, they were her family.

“They are my family, my lord. Though you will not be able to understand, I will not be able to be part of a scheme that would kill my family.“ She stood up ready to leave. She did not want to hear about it anymore.

She knew that if he continued to speak, he would be able to convince one part of her soul that had the desire to take revenge but she did not want to be the mostner she detested!

Her face that had already turned pale tried to bring a smile on it as she bowed her head lightly holding her dress.

“I am not feeling well, my lord. I want to take my leave from here.” his cold eyes scanned her face.

He knew that she was fighting with herself to make a decision and she could still be swayed. With a calm look on his face he nodded for her to take a breath of relief.

“Family is not decided by blood, Hazel. A family is one that supports each other and sacrifices their life for each other, not the other way around.

But I understand that you are weak and bound to them emotionally. So, I will give you a chance to think about it.

I will ask you once again and if you still have the same decision, I will not force you!” she did not speak a word even though she could feel his intense gaze on her face.

As if a beast was staring at his prey, looking for a chance to devour her, she could feel that he did not want to accept her refusal. But she was glad that he had not forced her in it or else it would have been difficult for her to choose.

Nodding her head slightly, she turned to leave where a part of her wanted to turn and accept the offer while the other wanted to inform her family that their life was in danger and if they were doing anything against Rafael they should stop it then and there.

But then again she was sure that they would not take her words seriously.

She could feel her mind swirling and a nauseating feeling in the pit of her stomach. She must have known that peace would not stay for long in her life and troubles would soon come following her.

“Just to be sure that you make the right decision, I am accepting the invitation of your brother and we are visiting your parents. I heard that they are organizing national fair on the anniversary of the formation of their empire. It would be fun to attend it, wouldn’t it?

I will ask you again once you will meet them and get to know them better!”
