It's been more than 10 hours since Mois was dead, so his body is emitting a pungent odor, which is unbearable. The advisors couldn't stand to be close to the body for more than a few minutes. But they are scared out of their mind not to inspect the body closely either. Because otherwise, Blaze will ask them what they found out, and without proper inspection, they will be tongue-tied in front of him.
They need to look closely to see if what their king claimed about his death is true or false. He said it's a murder, so they inspected the body to see if it's true or false. Like always, Blaze is correct this time as well. It indeed looks like a murder and not suicide like Lord Angelo claimed it to be.
Almost all the advisors puked their guts out after they investigated the body, as they couldn't stand the pungent smell. They all glared at Lord Angelo.
"Why can't you keep your mouth shut? We have been seeing his highness for the past ten years. He never said a
"Explain," Blaze asked Lord Alesso to explain why he feels like it's a murder and not a suicide. He is done spoon-feeding them everything and it's time they act as his advisors. For a change, they should be the ones who are giving him the intel and not the other way around.Alesso cleared his throat and began to give everyone the details of what he actually noticed there."In this, I agree with his highness. I noticed that the victim is stabbed with a pin on the left side of his neck. If it's a suicide, then he should be stabbing himself on the right, as his right hand is his dominant hand, he would have stabbed himself on the right and not left. Moreover, I didn't find any traces of the needle or the poison anywhere near him or around him. The dragon poison is so very potent that he must have died within seconds. So he can clear the poison or the needle. So someone else was there and he is the one who killed Mois" Lord Alesso shared his views with everyone.
One by one, all the advisors left the King's office taking their leave. Only Lord Michael, Brandon, and Blaze were left behind. The room in silent, except for the ticking of the grandfather clock hanging by the wall."How is it possible? We know it's one of the advisors. I thought we could catch the culprit today. But everyone came out clean. We found nothing on them in person or any of their chambers. They couldn't possibly guess that they would be searched today. I am surprised myself. But still, how did he manage to escape?" Brandon broke the silence, his face and voice indicating that he is frustrated.Both Blaze and Lord Michael are thinking the same."Hmm, he seems to be more cunning than we thought he is. Either he used someone else to kill Mois, or we are missing something here" Lord Michael shared his view.Blaze remained silent. There is a frown etched in between his eyebrows, indicating he is thinking something. When Blaze didn't respond, both
Blaze returned to the human world and found that Bella is not there in their room. He walked downstairs looking for her. It's already 11 pm and he expected that she would be sleeping in their bed by now. But to his surprise, she is not.He searched for her and found her sitting in the backyard, looking at the wilderness at a distance. There is a small frown marring her forehead."What are thinking so hard about?" he asked. He made his way towards her and sat on the muddy ground.Bella looked at him with a small smile. She is not surprised. She was expecting him."Hey" she greeted him softly.Blaze grinned at her and looked in the direction where she was looking at when he came here."What happened? Is the lead you were talking about really dead?" Bella asked worriedly.Blaze nodded his head in affirmative action.Bella gasped."What are going to do now?" she asked with a frown."I don't know. I am sure one of my a
"No, why will I do that?" She asked him with a confused expression.Blaze sighed with relief after hearing her declaration."Then what happened?" he asked to explain what is going on in her head.Bella sighed."My father hates dragons. And you know the reason why. Even before Cameron, we used to be wary of Dragons. None of the other races treat humans nicely. Only a few will be kind to us. If it's not for you, I am sure no one would have acknowledged my existence in the Hamilton group as well. I know why I was hired in the first place. All those tasks you enlisted in my job description are considered beneath most of them. So it's not a surprise that I am hired" she took a deep breath before continuing.Blaze let her talk. He needs to hear what is bothering her. But the thing she said about being hired in the Hamilton group is not completely off the mark. But it's not completely correct either. He will tell her that after he finds out wh
"No," she said with so much force, that he understood that she will fight for him when the time comes. He is now sure she will fight for him. That is enough for him for now. Bella blushed when she realized what she just confirmed. "I mean..." She tried to explain what she meant, but it's pretty obvious that she cannot live without him. "U mean?" he prompted with amusement. Bella looked down at her palms, unable to meet his eyes. Blaze turned her face by holding her chin so that she is looking at him. "I love you, Bella. I cannot live without you. You are in every breath I take. You are all I think about when I am not with you. You are my mate. Do you know who a mate is to a dragon right?" he asked her softly. Bella gasped at his declaration. "Mate?" She whispered with shock and surprise. A mate to a dragon is similar to his other half. She is like his wife in human terms, but their bond is much more strong a
Bella found herself in the same cave she was earlier. This time, that woman in the white is sitting on the steps that lead to the statue."Welcome back child" the fairy goddess greeted Bella with a smile.Bella smiled at the lady, but she is confused as to why she keeps visiting this cave."I know we met once and I should not ask this. What is this place and why do I keep coming here? I understood my body is not here, just my essence. But why me and why here?" Bella asked curiously.Fairy goddess laughed at her words."I keep calling you whenever I feel bored my child. You see, I live here alone, so I keep calling you for company" the fairy goddess explained feeling amused.Bella nodded her head as if she understood what the goddess is talking about."Oh, I can understand. Living here must be lonely" Bella said and sat beside the goddess.The fairy goddess chuckled at her words."Oh no, I have my own am
"You my child. You are the other daughter" she replied, making Bella's life spin off its axis. For the first time since Bella came to meet the fairy goddess, she is speechless. "You are mistaken. I am a human and my parents are in the human world" Bella said, but she can see that she is not so sure now. Bella remembered her time spent with her human parents since she was a child. They laughed and they cried together. As far as she can remember, they are all she knew. They are her parents and she is their daughter. She doesn't have anyone else. So this news is making her head spin and her heartache. The fairy goddess looked at Bella sadly. "Am I mistaken, Bella? Are you sure?" the fairy goddess tilted her head and looked at her expectantly. Bella turned away from her inquiring gaze and looked at Scott with new eyes. She remembered how much he loved Arabella. He is really a good father. Bella began to stick all the pieces t
The next morning, Bella and Blaze got ready for work."Come, let's go," he said and pulled her towards him to shift them together inside his cabin in the Hamilton corporation."No, I have something to do first. I will come after a few hours" she said softly.Blaze frowned at her words. He noticed a change in her behavior since last night. But he cannot pinpoint exactly what it is. Her eyes no longer hold the doubts she used to carry whenever she looks at him. Now she is more trusting and he can see the love shining for him in her eyes."What is it? Can I help you with it?" he asked softly.Bella kissed him on the cheek and then softly gave him a chaste kiss on his lips, which caught him by surprise. She is behaving like his Bella before she lost her memories. He looked at her intently, trying to see what is happening with her. But after she blocked him from her mind, it's becoming difficult to read her mind.No one has the power
