Chapter 33
NELDRISDYD:
I observed Dahlia as she moved to the dancing floor with Omniel. Something about her felt different, unlike usual. I couldn’t put my finger on it. She looked up through her lashes, glancing over his shoulder towards me, being as discreet as possible. Her mouth altered some words then her attention came back to me. No, it was impossible! Falling in love with her would destroy me and make me vulnerable. At least, if I had to die, I wanted to die with pride.
“If you keep glueing your gaze, you’ll end up being so obvious. Don’t forget what I taught you! Emotions are a weakness you can’t let it get to you,” Lady Markbill turned on her heels moving to the buffet where I joined her. She grabbed a platter in the usual way she always showed and started filling it.
“I wouldn’t let it get over my head. I would never carve emotions on stones. I would bury them deep in the earth, long submerged bene

DAHLIA:I made a pact with Omniel.I wanted to tell the Duke to trust me on this, that I would save him from an imminent death that he could let his guard down around me. I danced speaking to him in my mind even if he didn’t listen to my thoughts. It wasn’t like he had the power to do so. ‘Trust me. I know it’s a long way forward but trust in me. I will definitely find a way to cure you.’ If he didn’t want to fight for himself as he said; I would do it for both of us. Hovering over negative thoughts wouldn’t be good for both of us and spending energy fighting for it wasn’t a waste of time. I realized when I was grieving over his future death when he wasn’t even dead that I was wasting time. If time was wasted so better spend it on something useful. I could always work on my goal if it happened and… he died later. The idea terrified me but I had to be objective. I

DAHLIA:“I know how people like you function; I met numerous like you. Let me tell you a tale: one of my experiences around the world. Inexperienced, heartless and so beautiful like a rose with numerous thorns. You escape your parents to experience life, dreaming about glory and proving to people you are someone they can’t reach. Living in your own world, a separate dimension made from fantasies. But you’re wrong, life is always about reality not dreams. Money, wealth, love, sex, you put yourself out there. You become greedy and you grow with your greed eating your life because you never experienced wealth. You are ready to sacrifice anything for your goal and become powerful. Unfortunately, no destiny would tie you and me.”I tossed and turned in my bed, his words still ringing in my head. I didn’t care for others opinions but he mattered to me. It hurt me listening to his words. Yet, I couldn’t help

DAHLIA:The sky was so dark and the moon hid behind the clouds, making her words resonate in my mind like a lullaby. I also met a redcursed who wasn’t a non-human. Darkness heavily set in, foreshadowing a storm, not to my liking.“What do you see beyond this world full of cuts and bruises?” Lady Markbill asked.“When I was in the village with the same faces I used to, everything settled in, differently to the outside. I have grown used to the darkness of the outside and now I learnt to see beyond it. Sorrow lingered on all the way, regrets set their foot following paths I ignored, but still, the blue yonder I sought was never found again. I desire to grasp the future in my hands and change my fate to a better one. I don’t know where my journey might lead me but I will hold on to this goal. Humans are neither vulnerable nor weak. We believe, love, hate, smile and experience different kinds of emotions. I admit

DAHLIA:I had a war in my head since waking up next to him. Though I stayed still, I had a terrible war going in my head. Nothing worked out; I was in a field of pleasure and inspiration for the whole night. He made me feel like I was cherished and loved. There was a mess in my head! He was sleeping soundly next to me. His horns called out for me to play with them. No, I mustn’t wake him. Dawn was already at our doors and I had to come back to my room so Omniel wouldn’t know we already spent many nights together. However, this was the first time he slept next to me. From excitement, I couldn’t sleep all night.I activated my ability and swept the whole room with a glance. When I disable my ability, Mimi and the Lingering in my shadow weren’t available for me. I was like another normal human being that couldn’t see the shadows of the world.“You were going on it all night, such a good stamina you two have

DAHLIA:Taboo…I expected him to reject me like that. To save my face, I had to act like a villainess. Hiding my face… Turning my gaze to expressionless… Making my body do things I never imagined I could do… But for that short moment, I was an actor. I was a villainess who wanted the Duke’s fortune, who wanted to torture him for nothing. Because I was like that, he was the hero everyone loved and cherished in secret. He would find a redcursed child and tell him he would protect him and he would be cool. Every hero had a villain and I was playing that in that moment. For a short time, I was that villain.I wondered if he never existed, who would stand at the front saving the ones that needed it. If it were me, I would have run away like any other day and cling to anyone who might be a hero for a short time to save my ass.He was a hero, it was obvious. He fought, saved people even by small b

DAHLIA:I observed another thing in the woman holding the two swords; her blindfolded eyes meant she was closed over herself, she didn’t see above her own perspectives. I decided I would buy a tarot deck. I found it so attractive and interesting. This way I would learn more about the arcana.I stashed the book under my dress and rushed to my room; it wasn’t something I would show just to anyone, it wasn’t hidden for nothing. I was shocked about how time passed quickly and night already established its shadows. It was already time for sleep but I didn’t feel the need to go to bed early. Yet, I still changed my clothes to my nightgown and read the book under the blanket, using a light spell. Soon enough, I blinked and roamed to the dream world.I had a dream, a weird one I couldn’t forget no matter how hard I tried. Was it a vision of the past? Or something I wasn’t meant to see? I was in an empty land the

DAHLIA:To summarize, the maid dragged me to the dining room and made me sit forcefully. Nevertheless, instead of sitting with them as every day, they made me sit on the ground while their eyes gauged me strangely. The most surprising thing was Veronica’s behaviour; she approached rubbing her chin, thinking.“Hmm…” she strolled around me and her pale blue eyes sent a shiver down my spine. My instinct told me to find a way to run away. I swept the whole room searching for the nearest window but everything was guarded, not a single opening. I swallowed. What would happen to me now? “This toy’s gaze is rather rebellious, papa. How about I educate her properly?”I glared at her menacingly. What kind of things was she saying? “What are you saying, sister? Do I look like a toy?” my maid grabbed my hair and pushed my head to make me kneel further. I didn’t understand a single thing and

NELDRISDYD:Alright, what should I do in my last days?At least, I learnt something worth remembering before my death; I couldn’t let her get too close to me. It pained me to push her but I wasn’t worth crying for. I hoped after my death, my whole wealth would go to her as my mate I solemnly chose and marked. I accepted it; she already made her way to my inner world. Especially after Omniel came to my room and told me to marry her since she was making her best to access the library. Being a villain didn’t suit her and she didn’t act so well. Her eyes were so expressive and her body didn’t follow the ways of a villainess perfectly. Anyone would understand she was nervous. I doubt Omniel had already missed that.He wanted to force me to marry Veronica but she couldn’t make me feel something. However, Dahlia did. I would definitely see her again but we would be enemies. She tried so hard to fit inside her f
