Chapter 160 [Bonus chapter] Was It A Sin!

“How do you know about it? Wait! I have warned him to not enter your room again. Did he not listen?” a look of annoyance passed his eyes but soon the sound of grumbling took his attention away.

“It is the one who had brought me back when I lost my way in the estate.”

“Huh! Then why are you smelling like Damien?” when he had touched her chin, he could feel his smell all over her but he did not ask her as he thought that the chivalrous man must have helped her in coming back but who would have thought that it was that dumb spirit.

The question took her off guard. She had forgotten about that confession completely when she met the spirit. But how could she explain that to Rafael?

“Tsk! Do not think too much. I already know.” he felt amused by how her face turned pale. Was she afraid that he would stop her from learning self defense?

“You know?” she blurter more loudly than she had thought as she stared at the man with confusion who nodded his head with confusion over her exaggerated behavior.

As if she was a thief, her face filled with guilt.

“Yes, I saw him teaching you about swords the other day. What have you learned today.” her guilt only increased when the person asked her without a doubt.

Did he trust her that much? She wondered but still she did not have the courage to tell him. What if he tried to kill Damien again or what if he blamed her for it.

Feeling heaviness in her chest, she was trying to think of proper words when the spirit grumbled again and took both of their attention for which she was grateful.

“He is a spiritual being who had lost his body for the time being but would soon have it. Though he looks weak, he had immeasurable amount of magic and mana in him and can protect you from everyone problem.” He tried to touch the spirit which glowed and his hand was able to touch its skin which mostly just passed through.

“He will take care of you until you are here to make sure you stay safe. Though it is only a matter of two days before we will leave.

Are you prepared to go?” her eyes that were looking at the glowing wisp with marvel turned back to him and she nodded.

Though it would be their last endeavor and they would be separated for forever, she would be free from the worries and start a new life. Living with him is becoming a torture due to her unrequited feelings.

“Since you both know each other, you can leave.” The black spirit turned darker instantly and started grumbling as if trying to show his dissatisfaction but Rafael did not pay any heed to it and narrowed his eyes at him.

He grumbled a bit more but eventually left though Hazel felt that he was staring at her for help when he was leaving.

“I am leaving too!” Before she could nod, the night creature had already jumped from the terrace leaving her alone.

In the blink of a second, Rafael was already in his palace walking on the third floor. Each step was heavy. Anyone could feel his bad mood just by hearing the sound of his steps.

Noone dared to block his way when he walked into the dark chambers of the palace only to enter a room where a heavy golden lock was fit but it opened just by his touch.

The room was dark when he opened the door but just as he entered the light lit up as if they could feel his presence.

Everything in the room was animatic yet it felt like it had life the way it was illuminated.

He walked towards the center where a large portrait hung of a girl who had a deep smile on her face while her silver eyes were glowing and so were her silver eyes.

It was so realistic that it felt like the girl would just turn to look at him and scold him for coming late.

“I have done a great sin Bella! Please punish me. I have betrayed you!” his eyes turned redder as blood started to come out of his eyes that stained his perfect pale face.

“Have I always been this shallow? Have I always loved only your face? That instead of knowing it was not you, I am feeling attracted to that human!” a wary smile formed on his lips but his face was full of pain.

“Do you remember when you ran away for the first time when I brought you? I have killed all the staff of your palace and when you have come back I have told you that you will get a punishment.

I have taken you to the roof and kissed you there not only on your lips but…” he stopped when the image of him and Bella started to flow in front of his eyes when he was kissing the girl fervently with deep intensity while his hands were playing with her back while was already inside her dress.

But soon the image was overlapped by the image of Hazel who was staring at his lips and licking hers as if she was waiting for him to kiss her.” he shook his head and more blood started to come from his eyes.

“I.. I do not know how! Why have I behaved the same when the girl is not you! You are the only one in my heart.

I can feel the bond I have shared with you all this time. How could it be that I have feelings for another woman?

Please come back and punish me Bella before I go completely crazy. And I promised that I would send her away soon. I would send her back from where she had come before I chose a path that separated us.

I love only you!”
