Chapter 505 - If The Plan Failed...

505 If The Plan Failed... 𝙛𝘳𝘦𝐞𝑤ℯ𝗯n𝗼ѵe𝑙. c૦𝑚

Damien paused when he was entering the room. He noticed how Rafael and Hazel were whispering even when they were alone in the room and his eyes turned darker.

The words of Vanisa and Diana started to fill his mind and heart. He had never liked his mother much, nor was he too attached to Diana but to think that they were suffering and killed because of the person they loved most was agonizing him.

For them, he was a black sheep and Rafael was their true hero! Now what happened!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hazel paused and turned to stare at the door. She was taken aback by the presence of Damien but soon controlled her emotions and smiled at him.

“Then, I will meet you for dinner.” She kissed Rafael and then left the room when Rafael smiled at her before turning his gaze to Damien who was walking towards him.

Rafael sat on his office chair and opened the file brought by Anne.

“Declan had already informed me about the condition on the borders. He thinks there might be some rebellion but most of them would agree about the reconstruction of land. Or do you have any other view?” he asked as he passed the file to Damien who mostly handled field work with Anne while Declam maintained the files.

By acting as part of the council, he had learnt a lot about office work. Damien just shook his head as he only gave a curt glance to the file,

“Are you forgiving the witches for what they had done to us?” Rafael frowned as he looked at his cold face. “After what they had done to your parents, to my parents? Just because you fell in love with a witch, you are going to forget everything that happened to us?” his voice turned abusive when Rafael took a deep breath.

.....

He closed his eyes and then sighed.

“I can never forget what happened with my family and neither can I forgive. But you are forgetting that I have already killed all the witches who were included in the massacre.

I have killed more than that! You can not blame their whole race for what had happened. Can you?” he asked back when Damien scoffed.

“Witches have always been our enemies. What if they forgive them? Just because a witch is your wife now..”

“That witch had helped all the vampires when a vampire had planned to kill them. When Diana was standing against us, she and other witches saved us without caring for their lives.” He cut Damien off coldly, “more than that, this war is going on for generations and I did not want to bear its burden anymore. I want a peaceful place for my kids. So that they can dwell freely on the land.” he stood up and walked towards Damien who was gritting his teeth.

“I know that you have lost a lot in the war. But it is time to move forward. I know that you went to meet Diana. She is part of the family but she had killed her own mother. She is not the girl we had grown up with!” he reminded Damien who was just gritting his teeth without saying another word.

“Is that your last decision?” he asked finally, ready to fight by himself if Rafael refused when he nodded his head.

“Yes, and I have a new job for you. As you know my wife is pregnant and there are many who are still against my peace treaty and did not want the empire to be divided into three parts. So, I want you to stay beside Hazel and protect her from all the possible dangers while I make sure that all the three empires are formed properly and peace will ensue.” To say that Damien was shocked would be an understatement.

He did not like and trust the witches and he had not tried to hide the fact. Yet Rafael..

“Will you?” as if reading his thoughts, Rafael smiled at him and asked again when Damien finally nodded his head.

If he rebels, he will be sent to prison too. For once, he needed to do work with a calm mind and collect proof against witches. That way he will show Rafael that he was wrong and free his sister.

And if things didn’t go that way, he would just use Hazel as his bait.

“I will do anything you say. Father always wanted me to be in your hands.” Rafael smiled as he nodded his head when Damien stood up.

“Hazel is a bit stubborn when it comes to taking care of herself. But I am sure that you will take good care of her and our child. After all, you are the only one I can trust.” he chuckled as he walked back to his seat and opened the files again, ” I promise I will burn the council who will not agree to the plans. I want to end all of it as soon as possible so that when my daughter takes birth, I will have all the time to spend with her.”

“......” for a second Damien did not recognize the man who used to be so coldhearted that life and death did not matter to him. And now he was planning to be a good father.

He stood with a heavy heart as he did not want to hurt Rafael but he reminded himself that he did not have a choice. If they had not attacked his mother and sister he would not have gone against Rafael ever even if he did not like him.

As he turned to leave, the plan of using hazel for his goal already started to form in his mind.

Rafael closed the file and stared at the door which was shut by Damien just a second ago. His eyes narrowed and turned darker as he whispered,

“Hazel! If the plan failed… I did not know what I would do this time.”
