Chapter 103 [Bonus chapter]

“Why do I think that the ambush was planned? As if they knew that I was going to come?” He was surprised when they met with a witch just when they entered the boundaries.

As if they knew that he was about to come. But now that he had faced it again, his lingering doubts had been turned into confirmation.

The face of the count grimaced, “my lord, only I and you know that we are going to visit this place! How could the witches know?” a dark ray of light flickered past Rafael’s eyes when he saw disgust on the face of the count.

No matter how greedy or foolish the count was! He was a weak human who was wary of the witches!

“Mm, i think, i am overthinking!” Rafael ran a hand in his hair and chuckled with a warm look on his face.

As if the vampire who had killed three witches and drank their blood was someone else while he was no less than a saint.

The bright halo that covered him was so sparkling that it could blind others.

“Then.. shall we continue our journey, my lord?” his eyes swept past a glance to the dead witches and then back to Rafael who nodded with a smile.

“You! Why don’t you come and burn their bodies!” the coachmen of the count flinched when he was called suddenly.

Nodding his head after a moment of hesitation, he walked down and bowed his head.

Taking slow steps towards the body of the witches that had turned completely white due to the lack of blood in their bodies. He kneels on the floor as his eyes lingered on their corpse for more than required!

“Why? Are you feeling bad for your friends?” The man was stunned when he felt the hands of Rafael on his shoulders.

He craned his head to deny the sudden elevation but gritted his teeth when he noticed the gun was already pointed at him.

“My lord, what are you talking about? There is some confusion. I have been serving the count for two years!” he turned to look at the count for help and explanation with a pleading face.

His body had already started shivering with fear of death that was shouting over his face.

Hazel, who was taking a breath in the wagon after the sudden attack, peeked when she heard the commotion and was stunned to see that Rafael was pointing his gun at another innocent person.

She pursed her lips as she walked out of the carriage with hurried steps when it started paining.

“My lord, the boy is right! He has been serving me for a long time! I do not think that he could be helping witches! We humans detest them!” the boy nodded when he saw the face of the count full of conviction.

But instead of frowning or checking the boy who was anticipating that as he took off his cloak, Rafael chuckled,

“Yes! There is no doubt that humans detest witches! Even vampires do! But the problem is, this boy is not a human!” with that Rafael shot the gun without giving the boy a chance to speak.

Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw a layer of frost covering the boy. The wall was so strong that even the bullet was not able to pierce it!

“How could ice be so strong?” Rafael raised a brow when he noticed that Hazel was raojming her hands over the ice wall as if it was a beautiful painting that had marveled her.

His eyes turned darker when he noticed the fascination in them and his grip on the gun tightened!

“I could not even find the bullet! It is amazing!” forgetting that there was a witch behind the wall. Her eyes continued to linger on the magic she was tying a bit ago.

“That was because there was no bullet left in the gun!” Rafael scoffed as he said those words and then started filling the gun in front of their shocked eyes.

“What??” all the three heads snapped back to him with a stunned look on their faces.

The boy who was trapped inside the ice gritted his teeth as the wall started to melt suddenly.

“You have tricked me!” he yelled with gritted teeth. Even Hazel was not expecting that as she blinked but her eyes were still lingering on the ice wall as if she could not take her eyes away from something so fascinating that it had stolen her heart.

“If you were not a witch, you would not have been affected! So who is tricking whom here?” the boy’s eyes filled with hatred when he noticed the eyes filled with disdain.

Rafael was too nonchalant about their presence! He had been killing them for decades and if they would not kill him, he would continue to do that until they would perish completely.

“You! You have killed our families and destroyed our homes. Do you think all witches are bad that you are hunting them?

When all humans are not good and so are vampires. How could you expect all witches to use their power for good?

But that does not mean we all are in the wrong. Many of us are using their powers for the benefit of the society, yet you are killing us mercilessly and still you are the one who is compelling!“ Hazel shudders when she hears his words.

In Spite of being attacked by the witches twice, she felt bad for the boy and did not know why, she wanted to console him and tell him everything would be fine!

Why? She patted her cheeks afraid that she was being hypnotized again but the boy had not looked at her even once. Then this could not be the case.

Then why was she feeling her head getting heavy? As if Rafael was hurting her kind!

“Tsk! Who said that I am killing you because you are bad or wrong or you can harm humans!”
