“Were you going to kiss lord Rafael?” The question sounded more of an interrogation when he looked at her with accusing eyes.

“Why are you asking when you have already taken me as a culprit? Next time when you ask a question, do not show their judgment in your eyes in advance.” she would have explained to him more if she had not felt that he was accusing her.

She was trying too hard to keep herself sane. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Reminding herself that he was suffering without a reason due to her, she calmed herself.

“Lucian, it is not that simple. It would be better if we sit and talk about it. There is no reason to play hide and seek when we know everything about each other.” she replied in a softer voice as she pointed at the seat near her.

He continued to stare at her with a piercing gaze but did not move an inch when she raised a brow again.

He looked away as if he was avoiding looking into her eyes. He shifted his weight for one feet to another and then replied in a dejected voice,

“Aunt had asked you to meet her once before the council sealed the palace for your safety._.

She wanted to know what to do with those kids and maid and a witch. She said that her inn had turned into a circus thanks to you and she wanted to do more research so needed your presence.” she smiled, that sounded perfect like Glinda who can never stop complaining even for a second. Yet she took good care of the kids and every person they threw there.

“Alright, then let’s go!” she stood up, she was feeling too cramped up and confused here anyway.

Maybe a change in place and conversation help her in clearing her thoughts. She stood up and called one maid to help her in changing.

Without waiting for him to reply, she went ahead in her changing room and dressed up.

“You can leave now.” The maid bowed and left when Hazel adjusted her bun. She had chosen a smile gray dress with least jewelry to not gain any attention.

There were many councilmen present. It would be better if she would leave and come back silently.

“We do not need to leave. If you want, I can write a letter that you are busy and would not be able to meet her.” Hazel turned to look at him with furrowed brows.

She had already changed her clothes and was ready to leave. Then what was he talking about?

“I mean, there are so many eyes on you and the protection barrier around the palace has been increased.” Although he said that, he continued to look at the window instead of her face and she could see a layer of sweat forming on his face.

His hands were clenched into a tight fist. He looked.. Worried?

“Lucian! I know that my actions are looking like I am betraying you but I have not yet chosen Rafael. And I am still thinking about it.

Things have changed! I..” she didn’t know how to explain it to him, “it is a long story, can you wait for a while. I will explain everything to you once we come back?” she asked in a soft voice as she took slow steps towards him,

She cupped his cheeks and forced him to look at her but he did not meet her eyes, making her worry.

“I will never break my promise and i can only request you to trust me for now.” he finally looked at her and nodded but held her hands and pushed them away from his face.

“You do not need to worry about me. I have not learnt to give up yet. Since you have already accepted me instead of him, I will not let you go even if you want, Hazel.” there was something in his voice that made her frown.

She felt a strange kind of oppressive obsession as if she was his possession but she brushed off the idea.

Lucian is a kind boy. He was still naive and innocent and thought that bringing her closer to Rafael would help them in living a better life. Such a boy could never be vicious.

She ignored the nagging feeling in her heart as she nodded her head.

“I am glad that you are not crying as if your heart is broken. So, shall we leave?” This time he nodded without hesitation and to her relief he did not ask her any further question.

“They would not let us go with the front gate.” he muttered when she chuckled.

The biggest benefit of her seal to be broken was.. There was nothing she could not do.

Her hands were itching to taste her new powers and this was the best opportunity she could have.

“Come here and hug me.” she said as she rubbed her hands with anticipation when a look of surprise passed his eyes before he realized what she meant.

He nodded and walked closer. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he inhaled her scent. There should have been her scent but when he reached closer, he felt the scent of wet forest that always came from Rafael and his soft eyes turned cold again.

His hands clenched into a tight fist as he felt betrayed. His eyes turned redder when he closed his eyes and his quivering heart stilled, he did not feel the hesitation anymore.

“Are you ready?” she asked when he nodded and whispered into her ears, “I have never been this prepared before!”

Before she could understand what he meant, the spell had worked and they disappeared from there.

She opened her eyes and looked around with joy. She was successful in changing their place but what surprised her was the gloomy look on his face and the screams from the inn.

Her eyes turned wide and then narrowed at the man sitting on the couch,

“Did you miss me, sister?”
