Old Habits Die Hard

Yuka stared at Hazel as she embraced him. She seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that he was shirtless. But then, he felt her crying, her tears dampening his skin. It bothered him a lot. He knew that she was probably going through so much and was barely adjusting to life as the future queen of Silvera. He felt sorry for her.

"Yuka?" She whispered, her head still resting on his chest. "I really don't want to make you uncomfortable, but you're so warm and you smell so good" she said and raised her head from his chest to look at him.

"You know that, right?" She asked with a smile on her face, despite the tears in her eyes. "Of course, I know. It's my body, isn't it?"

She grinned and embraced him again. Suddenly a bubble of laughter escaped her lips.

"I have no idea why I'm enjoying this. I really wish..."

She stopped herself, but Yuka knew what she was going to say. She wasn't going to say that she wished that he wasn't Caden's brother.

Neither was she going to say that she wished that they hadn't met. But, she was going to say that she wished that he was the crown prince. Maybe, she could've really fallen in love with him and things would have been easier for her. Hazel couldn't tell, but when her thoughts were loud, he could hear them clearly. Every other person in the palace knew that he could read the mind of anyone he comes across. So, they'd all casted protection spells on themselves to prevent him from reading their minds.

Yuka knew they hated him. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that. They could as well plot to kill him, he was sure they were capable of doing so.

"Yuka?"

"Hmm?"

"I want to sleep now" Hazel said, sleepily. She was already too tired to keep her eyes open. So, her head lolled against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her to steady her and as he gazed at her, he appreciated her beauty.

"Hazel, you're really beautiful and if you didn't have brown hair or brown eyes, I wouldn't have believed that you're a Rubian. I know you feel comfortable around me, but you really shouldn't. I am dangerous and I can't make you choose between my brother and I. I can't put you in such a dilemma. You have to stay away from me. Please" he whispered and scooped her into his arms.

Unknown to him, Hazel had heard him and because her mind was hazy as a result of her sleepiness, he couldn't hear her thoughts.

'Too bad, Romeo. No wait, I didn't just say Romeo, did I? Whatever, but you should know me by now. The more you tell me to stay away, the more I linger around you. Old habits die hard, like they say. Goodnight, Romeo'

She fell asleep in his arms as he moved down the palace halls in his shadow form. The guards on duty couldn't see him because he blended well with the darkness, even with Hazel in his arms. When he got to her room, he didn't bother to open the door. He walked right through the door and laid her down on her bed. Then, he took off her boots and cape. Without sparing her another glance, he left.

***

Morning came and Hazel lay on her bed, feeling exhausted and as she stared at the ceiling, a thought came to her mind.

'I had a dream last night. A very weird dream. I embraced Yuka and told him that he was so warm and he smelled good. Then, he carried me in his arms because I-'

Her eyes widened and she sat up immediately.

"That wasn't a dream, was it?" She said. She noticed the cape she'd worn in her dream lying on her bed, beside her. She let out a gasp and picked it up. Then, she sniffed it.

'Lavender. It smells like....Yuka' she thought.

"Stupid Hazel!" She scolded herself and got out of bed with a sour look on her face.

***

"Morning, Hazel. How did you sleep?" Caden asked his fiancee who gave him a blinding smile that made his heart flutter in his chest.

'She's so beautiful' he thought.

"I slept like a baby" she said and he grinned.

"That's good, because you will need the energy today"

She raised a brow.

"For?"

"As the future queen of Silvera, you are expected to be trained in combat" he said and Hazel snorted.

"Really? It's no big deal"

Caden smiled to himself. He liked how brave she was.

"You're going to be training with Tyr, Silvera's champion and warrior"

"Alright, then. Let's go"

Caden took her hand and led her to the training court. There was no one present yet, so she frowned.

"Where is everybody?" She asked. "You have to get changed first. You can't exactly fight with that dress" he said and she nodded. Caden watched her as she slipped on a pair of leather pants that had an elastic quality. Then, she turned away from him and took off her dress, revealing the camisole she was wearing underneath. He leaned against the wall, admiring her womanly curves. She wasn't fat, neither was she slim. She was somewhere in between the balance and she moved with fluid ease. When she turned around to face him, she had pulled back her hair into a neat bun with her hands covered with fingerless leather gloves.

Hazel was excited to do what she used to do with her triplet brothers. Sparring was something she enjoyed doing. "They're here" Caden suddenly declared and she quickly turned around. Her eyes went wide when she saw the three women who were approaching her. She could recognize one of them.

"Charlotte!" Hazel said and her friend grinned.

"Hazel! It's so good to see you!" Charlotte said, embracing her.

"What's going on? Are you training me-"

Charlotte laughed.

"No, I'm training to be in the army. I met Violet two days ago, she has joined Silveran's royal healers. You can go visit her someday"

"You must be Hazel" the first woman said, gazing at her. She was tall and athletical looking. This woman towered above Caden. She seemed to be around seven feet tall. Hazel felt like an ant compared to her.

She had high cheekbones, almond shaped silver eyes, with a scar trailing down from her left temple to her jaw.

"Yes, I am" Hazel stated and the woman gave her a chilly smile. "I am Tyr. Silveran's champion" she said, clasping her hands together. Then, she bowed to Hazel in greeting. "I will be training you in the art and act of combat" she said and Hazel nodded. Tyr turned to Caden and bowed to him.

"Greetings, your majesty"

"Tyr, be gentle on her. She's a red blood and your future queen"

Tyr looked at Hazel with an unreadable expression on her face. "As you wish, your majesty".

A guard walked up to Caden and bowed in respect.

"Your majesty, your father has called for you"

Sighing, Caden turned to look at Hazel.

"Will you be alright?"

"I'll be fine"

He followed the guard and left Hazel with the three women. "First of all, I'm going to test your determination and the skills you probably possess. You will spar with Charlotte who is a red blood like you. Then, you will spare with Nazu, she's a full blooded Silveran. You tap out once you feel like you can't go on any longer, do you understand?"

"I understand"

Nazu's gaze met Hazel's and at once, Hazel knew that this woman was a nasty threat. She was just as tall as Hazel and she was perfectly toned. Her silver eyes were menacing and she wasn't smiling. Nazu was beautiful, just like all Silverans were, but there was just something about her that was off.

Charlotte and Hazel soon stepped into the sparring arena. "Fight" Tyr ordered, her voice cold and unforgiving. Charlotte made the first attack, her fist missing Hazel's jaw by a few inches. Then, Hazel struck next. A single kick to the side of Charlotte's head knocked her out immeadietly. Surprise crossed Tyr's features. A guard standing by, took Charlotte away from the sparring arena. Then, Nazu stepped in.

"That was easy. Let's see how well you can fight" Nazu said to Hazel who clenched her fist and straightened her spine.

"Nazu, you must fight fair and square. No magic required!" Tyr said and Nazu nodded.

The fight began. They were both skillful in the defense area. Most of the time, Hazel dodged Nazu's relentless attack and Nazu did the same. Tyr was impressed. She had trained Nazu since she was a child and she'd never seen anyone block Nazu's attack so effortlessly, especially not a red blood. Thirty minutes soon bound by and Nazu was seeing red. Charlotte had awoken and was watching the fight with wide eyes. Hazel didn't look like she could pack a punch but Charlotte guessed she was wrong.

Suddenly, Nazu punched Hazel in the stomach, knocking the air out of her lungs. Taking advantage of the fact that Hazel was winded, she channeled her magic into her fist and punched her in the face. Tyr hadn't noticed the fact that Nazu had used her magic and she also wasn't aware that hidden among the shadows, stood prince Yuka. He watched Nazu with a look of anger on his face.

Nazu struck again and again, her fists brutally connecting with Hazel's ribs and stomach.

Hazel fell to the ground, unconscious and Nazi smirked. Despite the fact that Hazel had been knocked out, Tyr was impressed. Perhaps, Caden had chosen the right queen.

***

"What did you think you were doing?" Yuka demanded, his eyes burning with fury. Nazu rolled her eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about"

"You know what I'm talking about, Nazu. I know that you have no dignity, but how could you stoop so low? You used magic on a red-blood!"

"She deserved it. She took Caden away from me" she hissed.

"Let's face it. You don't deserve to be queen. Someone as hateful and murderous as you are, does not deserve to rule a kingdom. The fact that you're of a noble lineage does not make you noble"

Nazu clenched her fist in anger. "What's it to you anyway?"

"If you use your magic on Hazel again, I'll-"

"You'll what? Kill me like you killed Lyraine?"

Yuka's eyes went cold.

"Maybe"

***

Hazel lay on her bed, her left eye swollen. She was pissed. Of all the injuries in the world, she detested having a black eye. She'd been so close to knocking out Nazu. Hazel hated defeat. She felt both angry at herself and Nazu. She heard a knock on the door and sat up with a wince, holding a hand to her injured ribs. "Come in" she said and the door swung open. Caden walked in with a worried look on his face.

"That looks like it hurts like a bitch" he said as he sat down by her bedside and took her hand in his. "It doesn't hurt that much" she said and he sighed. "My beautiful Hazel, always trying to act all tough even when she's hurting badly" he said and embraced her. "I'm going to send a Sapphiran to you, shortly" he said and she nodded slowly. He pressed a kiss to her head and left her chamber. Shortly after he left, Hazel noticed the adorable white cat staring at her from her window. She frowned, noticing the cat's violet eyes. Her eyes widened when she realized that it was...

"Yuka!" She said, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Come over here!" She whispered and he jumped down from the window and came to her side.

"You're so cute!" She gushed as he crawled onto her bed and curled up on her lap. She grinned and stroked his fur with a smile on her face.

"Were you worried about me, Romeo?" She asked and he looked at her as if to say, 'Romeo?'

"Yes, Romeo. It's your nickname now" she said and he closed his eyes as she continued to stroke his fur.

"You don't have to worry about me, Yuka. I'm okay" she breathed and he purred.

"How can you be so adorable?" She cooed.

There was a knock on the door. "Your highness? Can I come in?"

She was dressed in a white blouse and white pants, her blue hair in a ponytail. Hazel's eyes widened when she saw her. "It's good to see you, Violet" she said and Violet grinned.

    "Are you threatening me right now, your highness? No, wait. You are threatening me. Wait until Caden hears about it" The queen was getting more riled up by the second. She couldn't understand why Hazel was so immune to her. She hated it. Evey other person in the palace was completely under her control. Everyone but Yuka and Hazel. She was frustrated. Since she couldn't get either of them to fear her, she was pissed. "I have a hunch that you stole the Sceptre. But since I have no proof, I'm going to let that slide.... for now.You want to act all tough and fearless. That's fine by me. Maybe, just maybe, you're going to end up six feet below the ground sooner than I thought" the queen said and walked away. Hazel glared at the Queen's retreating figure even though, deep down she was worried. Prince Caden was boiling with anger by the time he arrived right in front of the door of Yuka's chamber. He

Hazel asked one more time as she gazed at him. He squinted at her when she finally came into focus. "How are you feeling?" She asked and his eyes widened when he realized that she was in his chambers again. "No, no, no. Hazel, you shouldn't be here.

Hazel had a hunch that among the men standing in front of the door, one of them was a spy that the queen had put in place to monitor her. Negative thoughts invaded her mind.What if she eventually told Yuka to help her and he refuses? What if he agrees to help her, but ends up being too late. She swallowed hard and shook her head, trying to ward off these ugly thoughts. Just before dinner, Hazel decided to sneak out of her room through the window. It was a strenuous task, but she did it anyway. She managed to sneak into the East wing of

    The silence that followed the crashing sound of glass shattering as soon as it made contact with the floor was deafening. For a moment, everyone was frozen to their spots, mouth agape. When they all finally snapped out of their daze, the queen rose to her feet with her eyes burning with anger. Her gorgeous light blue dress had wine stains on it and the silverish- blue liquid that was also now staining the previously spotless marble floor was proof that the glass shards had injured her. The king rose to his feet, knowing that his wife was about to do some real damage to his daughter-in-law."Clarice, calm down. It was an accident. Right, Hazel?" the king said and Hazel nodded, her eyes glinting mischievously. Prince Caden's gaze met Hazel's and he frowned when he realized that there was nothing remorseful about her. If anything, she looked like she had hurt the queen on purpose."Hazel, apologize to my mother, wil

General Spiers immediately went pale. Now, do you believe me?" Yuka asked. "What's going on? Why are we suddenly being attacked?" Trey asked."There's no time for questions.

    Queen Clarice stood behind one of her guards as she waited in front of the door to Yuka's chamber. This was the first time in eight years since she was stepping into the East wing. This time, she was even more upset than she'd been, the last time she'd decided to make her way to the East wing. Apparently, Yuka had bitten off more than he could chew. She couldn't believe that Hazel had suddenly gotten lucky. There was absolutely no way Hazel would be able to rebel against her unless she had someone to support her, a back up. There was no one more perfect for the job than the black blood himself. "My queen, he isn't responding" the guard who had been knocking on the door for the past two minutes said, an apologetic look on his face. "Disrupt the magic that is holding the door locked in place" the queen ordered and the rest of the guards instantly prepared to carry out the Queen's order. But just before they could execute it, someone tsked from behind them. "I don't think that is a g

Charlotte managed to punch Nazu on the face, hard enough to make her bleed silver. Nazu wouldn't have it; she retaliated even more violently and by the end of their sparring session, Charlotte had a bruised kidney, a fractured wrist, a broken nose and a few bruised ribs. Hazel rushed to her friend and helped her out of the sparring arena. Charlotte was a mess. She kept crying, both from the pain and the humiliation. "She wouldn't stop, not even when I surrendered" she sobbed into Hazel's arms. "Maybe, I'm not worth it. Maybe, I'm just not fit for all of this" "Please, Charlotte. Don't give up because of some Silveran bitch. Promise me you won't give up" Hazel said and Charlotte shook her head.

    HAZEL Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door of my husband's study. I was nervous. How well was he going to accept what I was about to tell him? I froze when I remembered that today was supposed to be our first anniversary. It wouldn't make sense for me to tell him now. Earlier, I had a meeting with the wives of the generals and that meeting had taken nearly the whole day."Your highness?" I turned to look at Gwon, my new bodyguard. "Yes?" "His Majesty has requested for your presence. He is in the east wing garden." Gwon escorted me to the garden where Yuka had prepared a romantic setting. The beauty of the sunset was in full display as well. Yuka rose to his feet and made me sit in front of him. "How was your day?" I asked as we ate. "It was quite long" he responded. True, he was busier than ever these past few days. "How about you?" He asked me. "I had a long meeting with the wives of the generals. It went well" I told him. He nodded in understanding. "I'm sorry I for

    "Marry me, Hazel" Those words made Hazel's heart skip. This was it. She would finally become Yuka's. As soon as she parted her lips to give him a response, the door was pushed open. Nazu and Caden walked in. "Hazel, are you alright?" Caden asked, a worried look on his face. "I'm fine. It's all over." A smile tugged at his lips. "You truly have the spirit of a fighting queen, Hazel. You should marry my brother already" he said and she laughed. "He was just asking me to marry him" she said and his eyes widened. His gaze rested on Yuka who was glaring at him. "Oh...sorry. I ruined the moment, didn't I?" Caden mumbled. Hazel turned back to face Yuka. "Yes, I will marry you. Isn't it obvious?" She said, giving him a chaste kiss on his lips. Yuka wrapped an arm around her waist."Don't tease me if you aren't ready for the consequences" he whispered in her ear and she smirked. "My apologies, my dear."She sounded smug but Yuka didn't mind. "Hazel, can we...talk?" Nazu asked. "Sure

With three main black bloods in the group, they had shared themselves and teleported all at once. "Are you alright?" Liv asked General Barron who looked a little winded. "I'm fine. I have never experienced this before. I just need to catch my breath," he said.Behind him, the Spiers triplets were doubled over, hands planted on their thighs. They were winded as well. They had insisted on taking part in the fight.Violet, Kai and Lhyle stood side by side. Rhen, Charlotte and Alyvonne were in the same group. While Hazel, Yuka and Kyan were in a group of their own. "So, this is Silvera's palace?" Shade asked. Hazel nodded in response. "It looks pretty huge" Trey commented, unsheathing his sword. "We are in a real war for the first time in our lives. This is crazy" Carl stated. "You can back out if you want to. You don't have to do this" Liv said. "Don't say that.

    Silvera's capital. "I have made my decision concerning your wedding with Anya" Clarice said to her son. She was sitting in the throne room and Caden was standing in front of her, his head lowered. "What decision have your made?" Caden questioned, his shoulders stiff with tension. "Your wedding will be postponed" she said and he looked up quickly, his puzzled gaze meeting her blank ones. It was unlike her to do something like that. Within the past weeks, she had been reminding him of the fact that he was going to get married soon. "Postponed? Why is that?" He asked. She shrugged. "Just because."He frowned. "Why now?" She rose to her feet and walked towards the double doors that led to the South wing garden. "A major event is going to happen soon. I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch" she commented. Caden's frown deepened. He wondered what she was up to. Whatever it was couldn't be good. "I heard about the troops you sent to Anslem. Isn't that too much? Haz

    No one moved. All eyes watched the queen as she walked towards the huge portal that had opened suddenly. Anya bit her lower lip, tensed. This was not the first time she was seeing a portal that opened out of nowhere. But, this was ten times more horrifying than the ones she had previously encountered. And this one didn't look like it was going to vanish anytime soon.Clarice stopped in front of the looming portal and held out a hand towards it. A golden pearl which was the size of a base ball appeared on her palm, it's light shimmering like the rays of the sun. It was almost blinding. Most of the guests had looked away as a result of the intensity of it's brightness. Many other who were curious, continued to watch. "Don't be rude. This is not part of the deal. The time has not come. Accept this token of mine" she said and flicked it into the portal which shriveled up and vanished from sight. Clarice turned to face the guests, a cold smile on her face.

    Quadam, Galactica. Hazel stared at her lover's pale face, her eyes brimming with tears. He was in a lot of pain. She could tell by how much his brows were furrowed. Liz and Yuka's mother sat by his bedside, their melancholic gazes fixed on him. 'He's dying' Liz's heart wrenching words were still fresh in Hazel's memory. She knew it wasn't the end. However, the thought of him dying made her heart ache. If he wasn't in so much pain, her grief would have been less heavy. "Seeing that look on your face is equally heartbreaking, love" Hazel forced out a smile at the sound of Yuka's strained voice. She had been so lost in thought that she had missed the moment he had opened his eyes and gazed at her. "You don't have to say anything, you know. You are already in a lot of pain as it is" Hazel's voice trembled and her eyes watered. Yuka opened his eyes again and squeezed her hand weakly. "It's not over, you know. You don't have to look so glum" "I know...but... I can't help it" she

    Quadam, Galactican capital. "I don't understand. How is this possible?" Yuka croaked and the red haired woman began to walk towards his bedside. She dropped down to her knees, the tears now making their way down her cheeks. "Forgive me, Yuka. Forgive me for being late" she said and Yuka curled up into a ball, his back to her. He clutched at his chest as pain ripped through him. Childhood memories slithered their way into his mind. He thought of how miserable he'd been, as a child. He thought of the number of times he was accused of murdering his mother. He thought of the nightmares and the trauma. He thought of his loneliness and the fact that he'd been forced to grow up too quickly. It was all because his mother had left him alone right after he was born. How was he supposed to process the fact that she was still alive and had left him to survive on his own?The pain in his heart swelled to the point where he was gasping for air. His chest felt like it was being compressed and no ma

    The knock on the door of Caden's chamber startled him into consciousness. After Nazu had left, he'd fallen into a deep sleep, due to his exhaustion and pain. He didn't want to get out of bed, so he ignored the pounding on the door. When he still didn't give any response, the pounding intensified. "I know you're in there, Caden! Open the damn door!" Anya yelled. "Go away, Anya" Caden said, annoyed by Anya who continued to knock on the door. "I swear I just want to tell you something important. You have to hear me out, please!" She yelled. Letting out a sigh, he got out of bed, gritting his teeth against the pain. He slipped on a robe and started to limp towards the door, his brows furrowed. When he opened the door, Anya's eyes widened. "You don't look so good" she said and he rolled his eyes. "You're the one who called me out. What do you want from me?" He said and she lowered her gaze, a worried look on her face. "You might not believe what I'm about to say" she said. "Get on

    Hazel remained by Yuka's side, her gaze resting on him. Once in a while, she found herself stroking his hair and whispering into his ear, assuring him that he would be fine. He was still unconscious but his fever had gone down by a few degrees. It was fortunate that Lhyle and Violet had returned right on time. Violet was a blushing mess and Lhyle had a subtle smile on his face. They had returned with both food and medical supplies. Kai ended up administering some fluids to Yuka through IVs. "I didn't know silverans used IVs too. I thought it's reserved for red bloods" Charlotte said. "Everyone can fall sick, you know. It just differs when it comes to the disease causing organisms" Kai responded. "His color is returning, that's good" Violet commented. Hazel sighed with relief and took hold of his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "He's going to be okay" she breathed and Lhyle nodded. As if on cue, Yuka stirred. Everyone rushed to his side.
