While Belle walked outside the house, she was stopped by Arnold who seemed to be fidgeting around while leaning his back on the wall. He appeared to be waiting for something but Belle didn’t pay attention and kept on walking until he called up for her name.“Miss Belle! Miss Belle!” Belle hold her hands together, wondering if the man knew she was hiding something.She turned her face offering him a smile, “Mr. Arnold. Is there still questions you want to ask me?”“No, no,” He quickly denied. “If there is one thing I wish to talk with you it is something different.”“Something different?” Belle tilted her head, unaware of the man’s attraction to her which cannot be blamed. Since she had just turned to her blooming age, she was unaware of anything about attraction, only ever reading them from books. But alas, reading books and experience it for herself was different. She couldn’t tell at all how Mr. Arnold had been staring at her features and how he had been smiling more than necessa
Leon smile smugly after receiving the informations he needed. He walked aside, disappearing after mingling with the rest of the humans. When he stepped back in the house, his handsome face took back its shine. He looked around the house, smelling Belle’s scent near and made his way to her. His eyes narrowed when he saw how a smile had pulled Belle’s delicate pink cheeks.Annoyance was the first quick emotion that corroded his heart. He continue to watch how the human man in front of him raised his hand as though to touch her which put his feet to a raise.Quickly, Leon pulled Belle aside with his hand. He didn’t pull her firmly noticing how frail her wrists were.He looked at the human, glaring silently. “Miss Belle, I have been searching for you everywhere.” His tone was dead as it was filled with anger when he stared back at Arnold.The human man stared back at him, glaring back that caused him to raise his eyebrows.Well aren’t that brave? He could have killed the human in a snap
Damian whispered a muttered words. It was hard to know what he had said but Leon who had been watching the view from the eyes of his bat immediately understood the language to be those of the witches’.It appears while he said their parents wanted none of their children to continue the legacy of being a witch, it seemed that Damian had been taught the ways to use witchcraft.From the bowl bright blue lights appear at the end of the spell that Damian had chanted. The bat moved upward, allowing for a better view for Leon to see what Damian had done.“Show me the pasts of the creature named Leon,” Damian whispered, closing his eyes as he imagined Leon’s face to help him direct his magic.Albert who stood behind him didn’t looked surprised, confirming Leon that the head butler was one of those people who knew the secret hidden by the family.“By the name of the witch’s queen, show me the view!” Damian chanted again and again until his fifth time where he opened his eyes to look down at t
Leon brought her to the empty hallways. The place he knew the servants wouldn’t come. He looked at her blue eyes that looked back and forward until she had made sure it was empty.Belle was confused with his little trick tonight but she knew Leon wouldn’t make such childish joke for no reason. “What happened?” She asked, trying to find an answer.“I was keeping an eye on your brother and it seemed he knows more than witchcraft and history of witches,” responded Leon as he sat on the edge of the large stained window.She walked slowly toward him, looking down as his height decrease the moment he took a seat.“What do you mean?” She questioned.“Damian, that brother of yourself used witchcraft and spells to find about my past, also the incident that happened last night.”“Witchcraft?” Belle frowned. “That contradicts his words. He told me father and mother doesn’t want any of us to be involved in our blood.”Damian was hiding something and indeed Belle could feel it. She didn’t know wh
Belle wasn’t cornered and those words weren’t directed at her but the anger and deep wrath from Leon’s eyes made her feel as though it was for her. “Her?” Belle asked seeing him silent which she took as his unwillingness to explain to her. She wanted to ask further but question if this was the right moment or if she could pry further about him.Leon walked away from her, “It seemed that tomorrow will be the time for you to meet your teacher?”“Yes, have I told you that?” She wondered as she had forgotten, seeing him shake his head.“I overheard it. You should go sleep now,” Leon placed his hand over her shoulder, directing her to her room. His fingers lingered over her neck and looking at it, his eyes deepened. “Sometimes I forgot just how fragile you are now.”Belle blinked at his words as she was certain she had heard Leon spoke but the moment she turned her head back, he had disappeared, leaving the words he said to her as a puzzle.The next morning, Belle prepared herself to leav
“Let us be straight,” Morgan stated, narrowing his cruel eyes. “You are saying to me that you are doubting us as someone who had stolen father’s treasures? Have you gone insane, Caspian?”Caspian swipe aside his long hair, letting it rest on his left shoulder. “I don’t doubt, I am stating the fact.”“What fact are you saying in this case?” Morgan narrowed his eyes, unhappy that he had been doubted. “You doubting us brothers is the most blasphemous statement I have heard from your filthy mouth.”“Morgan,” warned Vetis, “No matter what Caspian is your older brother. Respect him.”Morgan clicked his tongue, “So you are telling me that I should be quite while he doubt us?”“I am not, therefore, brother Caspian, please do not point your hand on anyone,” Vetis worked as the middlemen between the brothers as no one was as self composed as him.“I do not but think of it,” Caspian twirled his finger for a black key to float above his hand, “Only us have this key. Us, who have father’s blood wi
Helios was always feared by the brother but also loved and respected. There was a reason why he was the eldest, a reason from not only the order of his birth but his power as well as his ability to control his siblings, the fellow demons who are as feral as him.Leon looked back at Helios’s eyes, neither of them retreating but he decided to be the bigger person and sat down.“Thank you,” expressed Helios shortly. “I do not doubt any of you. Caspian, you should never once ever doubt your brother. Doubting your brother is the same as doubting your blood. You will not disrespect us but also yourself.”Caspian pushed his long hair and looked down, like a scolded child.“I had called you here not only because of the missing item,” Helios’s range of tone didn’t change. It was rigid, firm, and strict. It was close to frightening but not in a sense to show horror. It was an authority.None of the brother dared to talk over him. He continued, “I am here to call you because I have found Father
Belle didn’t ask where they would go, but she believed that it would be worth the walk. She was silent as many thoughts flooded her head. Leon was silent as well which was strange as she noticed him keeping a look at her once in a while. It’s as if he was careful with her emotion, studying her.When they had stopped, Belle’s eyes sparkle to see the wide open view of a crystal clear lake. The trees all around the lake held a beautiful view as it was reflected on the surface of the water.The white bright moon seemed to be much closer to her touch now as it stayed on the middle of the lake. All she could do was awed by the view, her eyes widening.“How do you know this place?” Belle asked, confused as it was her first time ever arriving to Lady Edith’s house and expected it to be Leon’s first time as well.Yet with how familiar he is and his immediate knowledge of the lake, she doubted so.“Mephisto told me he saw it here,” Leon responded. While Belle was never able to notice Leon’s li
