Chapter 169 [Bonus chapter] Stay In The Dark



“Sigh! Do you really not want to help? Too bad, then I am left with no choice!” Like a man abandoned by his family, he took a deep sigh making Hazel confused further but soon her eyes widened when in the next second he shot all the knights who were standing there.

“Bang”

“Bang”

“Bang”

The sound of bullets was the only thing that could be heard for a few seconds until all the knights fell on the ground.

“No! Wait. do not kill all of them.” but it was too late. Before Hazel could ask him to stop, he had already gotten rid of all of them.

Hazel looked with horror on the number of dead bodies. It must be more than a dozen but all of them are...

She checked the pulse but as she had thought none of them was alive.

“Why are you running like a duck while checking on them? If we would not have killed them, they would have killed us instead.” Hazel shook her head. Even if the knights belong to her empire. She did not pity them.

She would be a fool if she would pity those who tried to kill her.

“I only wanted one of them alive so that he could give a testament for us. Do you think my father would accept that he had sent the knights to kill you? But it’s too late to find proof now!” she stood up from the ground after checking each of them with a disappointed look on her face.

“So, do you believe that it is your father’s doing? Such a relief! I have thought it would take some efforts to convince you that your father did not care whether you are dead or alive if he get the chance to kill me.” His voice was so indifferent that Hazel felt he was not talking about his death but some irrelevant matter.

“Are you not afraid of death, Rafael?” she had never seen him scared no matter what. Even when they were all attacking him, he was standing there just fine and even had the nerves to joke with her. “Is it because you are immortal?”

Vampires did not age and live more than thousand years naturally. With their strength, killing them is almost impossible so they were often called as immortal beings.

“For the very same reason. I am not afraid of death. Death would be a relief, a freedom from the shackles of long life.” Hazel blinked as she could not believe that someone could take a long life as a curse.

At this time, she felt that Rafael had some burdens he was hiding all the time. That lonesome look on his face was quite a burden.

“Why are you sad for me? Why don’t you kiss me to make me feel better!” she felt him moving closer to him and smiled mischievously as he stared at her lips and rolled her eyes.

Alright, she would take her words back. He was just a chameleon who lied all the time. His solitude look must be a mirage too.

“Tsk! I would throw a feast on the day you will die. So, do not dream much. Now shall we leave!” huffing, she crossed her hands over her chest as she started walking away. What was she even expecting from this vampire?

To be honest with her? But she couldn’t believe that her father was so bold to attack them that brazenly. Had he not thought what would happen if they would survive.

“Even if one of the nights would have survived, he would have taken the blame and your father would have executed him in front of everyone in the name of treason.

There is no way that he could be proven as guilty. He is an emperor not a baron or so whom you can prove guilty with the testament of a knight.

So, do not think too much about it. This is just the start, many attacks are waiting for us in the palace.

I have already told you, so you should be prepared for it.” she nodded as she sighed.

How could things be so simple? They have to be alert all the time. What if they have to face another ambush before entering the palace.

“We are already in his territory. What will we do if the next ambush is more fatal? They do have a good amount of Beryllium.” Hazel picked up an arrow from the ground whose tip was purple with the silver on the rest.

The small element was poisonous for him.

“Hmm, that was unexpected. I have thought that we have made sure that humans did not find more of it after the war and I heard nothing about your father finding it.

It must have been kept hidden for long or had been smuggled so well that the council did not get any news about it.

But i am relieved that you did not blame me for the death of humans.” Hazel shook her head and entered the carriage. Even if she would try to initiate a serious discussion all the time, he had the capability of changing it to a humorous one or moving its directions towards her.

As if he did not want to share much with her. Could it because she had still not chosen sides and he was afraid that she would inform his plans to her father later.

If that was the case, then she would not ask further. It was better to stay in the dark until they reached the palace.

Even now she wants to see her family. Would they have any guilt in their eyes if they saw her?

Rafael stopped at the door and turned towards the coachman with a sly smile on his face.

“I am amazed every time when your kind puts up a fight. Your agility is better than mine. That was why I was surprised that you did not join the battle when I was fighting with the knights.

Anyway, I think this is yours.”
