As grandma Jane walked away, Mona inched closer toward her, whispering lowly, “She is a sorceress for sure.”“And quite a dark one,” sighed Rose who then rested her back deeper to the couch, “I didn’t expect her to have died. Now we have no choice but to form contract with the demon.”“But to just be certain we should talk with the Master again and ask him for a spell where we could use to locate whether Hannah Maury is still alive or have she died,” Mona suggested and Rose agreed. She then hummed a long time, pondering in the informations she received, “If Hannah Maury was found dead twenty years ago, that would coincide with Dominic’s age. This makes it possible that she died right after granting the wish as how the Duke had asked her.”“I’m curious too how the Duke know her. Sorceress tend to hide themselves and I wonder how such insane woman would agree easily in lending a help to the Duke for his own selfishness,” Mona whispered in a low hum. Rose also wondered the same. If Han
The master eyed the brown notebook, gently lifting them with his hand to open and read what was written. After scanning a long while, he noticed that all parts of the book have been covered with black magic. He quickly settled it down with a sour expression which Rose take as his disagreement to what he had seen written down there. “This belonged to her?” The master then took a long hum when she had nodded her head. “To tell you the truth, I don’t know who Hannah Maury is.” “But she is one of the sorceress,” said Rose. She knew how the master took care of every and each one of his sorcerers and Hannah Maury should be included in it…“There are sorcerers whom I have told you been brought without knowing of their true identity, right?” The master brought up which Rose questioned why. “Yes like me,” she responded. “Hannah Maury was never a part of my coven. Not because I did not accept her but I never knew she was a sorcerer. It’s possible from just seeing all this magic circles and
Dominic stepped out from the carriage. His eyes found the large building which was the headquarters of the Orders. They had called him in to question of the incidents regarding the gargoyles that had appeared suddenly in their mansion. He knew many ways to lie his way through but today he had some other thoughts. While the King and Queen was none of his business, he had promised his cousin that he would bring Essex down for him. With a smile Dominic marched forward only to hear Starvos beside him who whispered, “Say your sly expression is showing. You should try and keep down that cocky smile of yours.” Dominic raised his eyebrows and chuckled, “I don’t think I had such a bad expression on my face though?” “Oh for sure you are. You know how ever since we entered this building, everyone is looking to our side?” Starvos said, and even as his eyes move aside, he found people still looking to their side, making it clear that the person attracting the most attention was Dominic.“Let’s
Rose who had came back saw from outside the carriage that stopped in front of the house, immediately knowing it was the carriage that Dominic had used to leave. She quickly pulled the scarf over her body, running toward the door and rushing to see him. Dominic had just stepped out when he saw Rose running with a big smile in her face, “You’re home!”“I’m back,” Dominic chuckled as he hugged her, taking in her small body to his embrace. After noticing how she was silent, Dominic raised his eyebrows, “Did you missed me that much?”He had asked the question to tease her, not expecting for Rose to actually nod her head quickly in conformation. “Are you really worried about me visiting the Orders?” Dominic hushed her by kissing her forehead. “Darling it’s alright. Nothing had happened, see?”Rose nodded when in truth the thing she had worried the most wasn’t his visit to the orders and they posed the least danger to her eyes. She was more anxious as she had made her mind to tell the trut
Dominic felt as though his heart had been pushed into a cold black ocean. He stared still at Rose, feeling angered but more than anything broken when he saw how Rose had turned into a mess. Her tears were spilling out from her eyes, her lips had turned bloody as she had been biting on it. Her hand and her entire body was trembling to the point that it felt as though she had took a dip in the ocean during a cold winter.Pulling her closer, Dominic rested her head on his shoulders. He hugged her wordlessly, letting her cry on his place as he had no more tears to shed. “Cry it out,” Dominic said to her ears. “Cry it out. Don’t worry. Let it out, let everything out.” Rose sobbed. His kindness only caused her heart to ache even more. How.. how can there be anyone who would hurt him? Such precious person.. such person!Rose tightly held to his back, her words came out broken and in breathy gasps as he cried out, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.. I’m—”Dominic who couldn’t hear her plea
Rose who felt relaxed after spilling the truth was glad that there was no negative reaction from Dominic. She knew he must felt a stormy emotions inside him right now and she was correct. But with their body entangled on the bed in a hug, that was enough to put them to rest together, to keep their tired heart a little pause from the fast moving world. Meanwhile, Mona who had locked herself in her room was in the middle of an experiment. She placed a blue colored liquid into a transparent glass beaker. Her eyes stared how the color quickly switched when it touched the red water.“I think I can do this now,” she murmured, pulling the flask of thick blood which she had stolen from Starvos without his notice. She recalled how she had tried to deceive Starvos to steal his blood and was certain that there would be no more chances for her to take his blood without his notice. “That’s why werewolves are troublesome,” whispered Mona. “But if I messed it up now, I would be royally fucked,” s
Rose reached out her hand to hold on to Dominic’s. They then stride toward the house, looking around to find how on a closer look the neighbor houses were empty. Rose gulped, wondering if there was even anyone alive near them.As she entered she found the dark couch with the main chair settled right in front of it which belonged to Hannah Maury who had taken a seat on it. Hannah Maury stared at what’s in front of her which was a teacup. Seeing that Rose and Dominic had entered she smiled, offering the seats in front of her with her hands, “Come over.” Rose felt uneasy with her smile but Dominic encouraged her by leading them both to the seats. As they sat down, Hannah Maury hummed for a long time, waiting for Starvos and Mona who later entered and seat near the chair on her left. “You asked what I wanted?” Hannah Maury questioned, softening the curves of her lips. “I wanted knowledge.” Rose bite her lips, “Do you also form a contract with a demon?” Hannah Maury looked at Rose and
Hannah Maury went silent hearing her words. A small laughter slipped from her mouth that began to get louder and echo all over the room. She pushed her hair to the back of her head and looked back at Rose with her shoulders still shaking, “I can’t do that. Just because I want a successor doesn’t mean that I want to die now either. I want someone who can continue my legacy after I die, not me wanting to die.” Rose sighed plainly as her green eyes rolled aside. The lights from her eyes had disappeared, giving her the coldest look on her face that Dominic had never seen until now. “Well then that means you won’t have a successor,” Rose looked at Dominic, whispering, “Are you ready?” Dominic knew this was her sign to fight. He smiled and whispered back to her, “Even if the sky fall, I will be here facing it all with you.” Rose smiled, then turning her face to Hannah Maury whose face quickly morphed into a wretched expression as anger turned her beautiful face frightening to be looked
