Chapter 73

My eyes were filled with tears as I watched the Gazellian brothers relentlessly punch the block of ice that was imprisoning me.

Evan explained to me that Zen would be swallowed by his own power when he overused it. Why didn't I know about this? Why don't I know anything about his power? Why didn't Zen tell me this?

I didn't pay attention to the strong blows of the brothers on the block of ice; my eyes were already fixed on Zen's back. No matter how many times I call his name, he doesn't hear anything anymore, and the only thing his body obeys is his own power.

'Zen..'

'Zen..'

'Zen, please stop. "No more, they're running out of Zen. Please stop." I tried to enter his mind several times, but I couldn't hear any answer from him. It was all blank and cold. He's not my Zen anymore.

I forced my eyes around the entire environment, and my eyes were almost shocked as I watched the huge ice around us that was already stained with so much blood. Most of the bodies of the strangers killed by Zen's power were stuck in the sharp ice around us.

It was like a death room; Zen had killed many vampires.

Caleb kept punching the ice outside and trying to get inside. I know he can help a lot if he is with me.

of his brothers to break the hard block of ice imprisoning me.

The vampires who want to end my life are starting to back off because they know what will happen to them if they insist on doing what they want to do to me. Before they could even get close to me, Zen got ahead of them and killed them.

"Hurry, please." I almost begged the Gazellians. I bit my lip when I saw that the brothers' fists were covered in blood, but they still didn't stop punching the hard ice that Zen wrapped around me.

He made sure that no one could simply destroy it; even the combined strength of the four powerful Gazellians did nothing to the ice that encased me. I tried to use my power, but it didn't make any cracks in the ice.

"Zen!" I shouted loudly as I saw that his feet were starting to turn to ice.

I once again touched the ice that was currently being showered with blows by the Gazellians. I tried to use my power again to melt the ice, but I still didn't see any change.

I saw Finn and Evan glance at Zen, and their eyes almost widened when they saw that Zen was turning to ice up to his knees.

"What the fuck?" Finn and Evan listen to me. I saw that Dastan was also shaking while violently raining punches.

I could feel the increasing strength of the Gazellians' punches. And they don't even care for the bleeding ones.

their hands. I had little hope when I saw a rift. I used my power again as the Gazellians punched hard.

The rift is growing, and as it grows, the ice on Zen's body increases.

"Claret!" the Gazellians shouted my name almost in unison. I quickly retreated so as not to be hit by the ice that was starting to break into small pieces, and when the small pieces finally fell, I didn't waste any more time.

I quickly stood up and immediately ran to Zen. He lowered his hands and quickly reached up to bite his neck.

'Wake up Prince Zen." at the same time as I drank his blood was my non-stop entry into his mind.

'Wake up Zen."

'Please wake up."

The big ice surrounding all of us is starting to melt, but Zen's cold body still doesn't disappear, and the ice that reaches his thighs still doesn't disappear. I bit my fang again on his right shoulder, and I did the same on his left shoulder.

I can't help but think back to the time when I wasn't a vampire. My prince didn't stop biting me until I completely turned into a vampire.

I will do the same! I will make sure that his heartbeat returns. I bit her wrist, her arms, and I myself destroyed her clothes so I could bite her chest.

he. I didn't think about those watching us now. I want to save my prince. I want to save the love of my life.

'Dear prince, dear prince. Wake up." I kept biting on different parts of his chest, but I still couldn't hear his heartbeat.

I violently bit my own penis and drew my own blood. I quickly climbed onto his body while wrapping my legs around his waist.

I firmly claimed his lips with my own bloody lips.

'Zen. "I need your fangs. Please bite me back, baby." My tears fell again as our lips met. Zen is not responding.

'Zen, don't do this. Wake up for me." My hands held both of his cheeks as I stared into his white eyes.

I bit my own penis again and drew my own blood again. I immediately applied my lips to his.

'Zen, I love you so much. Please, wake up, dear prince. Zen. Zen please." I couldn't remove my lips from him.

'Zen, please. Zen..' My tears are falling on my prince's face.

'Zen, you know that you are the only reason why I remain in this world. Zen, don't do this. I just gasped when I heard it softly.

heartbeat 'Zen? ' I called him again. Until I could hear his heart beating continuously.

'Claret." I immediately separated my lips from his. His eyes turned black.

"Zen!" I almost cried when I cried. Both of us just fell down because of his weakness. He gently caressed my long hair, which made me cry even more.

I buried myself in his chest while calling his name over and over again.

"Has anyone come near my Claret? Has anyone come near my goddess?" I just bit my lip when he said this. He almost died! Why is he still thinking about me?

"Zen! Don't do that again! Don't scare me like that again, Zen! Please? Promise me, Zen, promise." I almost hit his chest because of my feelings. He raised his right hand and gently wiped the remaining blood on the side of my lips.

"I am sorry, baby.I promise, I won't do that again." I just bit my lip.

"Something bad will happen to me if you leave me, Zen! You idiot prince!" I saw him frown at what I said.

"What?" I can't help but grin. My prince is back.

"I said I love you. I love you so much, Zen." softly His fingers caressed my lips.

"I love you more, Claret. I love you more." Our lips were about to touch again when we heard exaggerated teasing from his brothers.

We both started to get up, and I immediately noticed the hands of his brothers when they were trying to hide them behind their backs. Gazelles.

"If you want to die, just tell me. I will kill you, Zen," Dastan said fatly.

"Nah, I don't want to die yet. My Claret will cry again, and I'm sorry for the troubled brothers. I'm sorry everyone." Zen said softly as he hugged me tightly.

I was about to speak to the brothers to thank them when we heard a loud scream. We turned to Rosemary, who still hadn't moved away from where she was sitting earlier. With itchy hands, she pointed in a direction.

And it almost gave us all a chill when we saw Lily strangled in Danna's arms with a silver dagger stuck to her neck. Lily couldn't help but flinch because vampires' weakness is silver. A weakness Danna didn't have. I heard Danna laugh loudly.

What is he doing? Why does he have to sympathize with Lily?

"Lily!" his brothers shouted. Finn, Evan, and Caleb, who was closest to Lily, started walking towards them. They even managed to block me and Zen. I know both of them are blushing.

eyes.

"Let him go!" The whole room shook because of Caleb's hard punch on the floor. I can also hear thunder and lightning from Evan's power. They continued to walk towards Danna and Lily, but they stopped when Danna spoke again.

"That's all you have to do. I will kill your first princess." I gasped when I saw that Lily's neck was bleeding. His eyelids are starting to droop due to weakness. I listen to every cry of the Gazellians; no one can move us.

She can't do this! I knew Danna couldn't do it. Why? Why did he do this? Why can't I still believe that he is an enemy?

I looked around for the designated girls; they were all far away, supported by their partners. They both shook their heads at me as if there was nothing they could do about what Danna was doing. What? Is it really like this? He will be killed in front of me, and the Gazellians will not forgive him.

"It looks like your vision is coming true. Why don't you tell them what's going to happen next?" Danna said with a smile. I knew he was talking to me.

What does he mean? In my vision, it was a dagger that killed Lily. I was almost terrified when I saw the smile on Danna's lips—smiles that I prayed I would never witness. The horrible grins of the two witches /

"Lily..." Zen called his own sister with difficulty. Even Harper, Casper, and Dastan are restless in their positions.

"Take out the queen and replace it with the life of this princess," Danna said coldly. At the same time, the siblings cursed at what he said.

"She can't," Casper answered emphatically.

"The queen's heart is fragile. She can't bear to see the woman who killed her king. Why don't you just replace me? I am the first born." At almost the same time, we turned around at what Dastan said.

"No! It's just me," Caleb said quickly.

"Just me," Evan said immediately. I saw Lily shaking her head several times while her siblings had tears in their eyes.

"Enough with this; I need the queen and not her useless children." The Gazellians clenched their hands together.

We lost our attention from Danna when we noticed some small rabbits running around. First one, then two, then three, until it was followed by countless rabbits.

"Mother," I heard Finn say. We all gave way when we saw the queen walking towards Danna and Lily.

"No, mother," Lily said, shaking her head.

"Release my daughter." I saw that Danna was stunned when she saw the queen.

/

"I said release my daughter," the queen said coldly. I saw Danna's dagger start to melt. When he saw it, he just closed his eyes and violently pushed Lily, who was weak, to the queen.

In a second, the Gazellians immediately disappeared from their positions, and almost all of them rushed forward to reach and kill Danna, but they were stopped when the rabbits surrounded her.

The queen walked closer to Danna again.

"Stay behind," he ordered his children, who could do nothing but follow him.

"Are you happy I got caught? Now you can make up for what I did to Thaddeus?" Danna said loudly. I listened to the Gazellians cursing at what was said.

The rabbits surrounding him have some magic that makes him unable to move inside them. When the queen finally entered the circle of rabbits, we were all surprised when four strong slaps hit Danna in the face.

"Stop. That's right, Danna, I know you're innocent; I know you can't kill her." My tears kept falling again. She's really innocent.

"I'm the one who apologizes to everyone. Everyone." We all almost gasped when we saw the queen kneel down for the first time.

"I am the evil queen; I am the bad one. I didn't come out immediately; I let mine go blind."

subject to false belief. I'm only thinking about myself; I want you out of the way. I want to lose the woman Thaddeus first loved, the woman he was able to love even though she wasn't his partner." All the Gazellians were stunned when they heard their queen.

"I admire you because Thaddeus fell in love with you even though you weren't the one he was destined for. What about me? She only belongs to me because I was the one who was destined for her." Danna couldn't look into the queen's eyes.

"You're wrong; Thaddeus loves you very much. And I'm just a memory of him." My heart felt like it was squeezed by what he said.

"Why don't you just die together?" we almost screamed when we saw a very long sword penetrate from behind Danna. The stupid queen immediately moved away with her face full of blood because Caleb quickly picked her up.

"Damn, why didn't it reach?" He simply removed the blood-soaked sword from Danna's body.

My vision darkened, and I quickly raised my hands. My magic came out to strangle Rosemary, but she immediately got away while laughing.

I almost ran to Danna and put her on my lap. No! Why is this happening? She's damn innocent!

"Fuck! She's the witch!" I heard Caleb shout.

"Danna! Stay with me! I can heal you! I can heal you!" itching I said this as I placed my hands on his chest.

The Gazellian brothers are currently working with Rosemary.

"What the hell is happening? Why Danna? Why?" I said in tears as I tried to heal his chest that didn't stop bleeding.

"You were the first vampire to smile at me, you were the first vampire to hug me, and you were the first vampire to believe in me. I don't want you to feel any more. The sacrifices you made for me are worth it. I want to be executed peacefully, Claret, but this is you, and you want to help again." He wiped the tears from my eyes. I just started crying. If that's true, he only did it to show and let everyone know that I was just a victim and had been deceived.

"Danna." I tried to release my power. But why does it still not stop bleeding?

"I won't be long." My tears fell even more.

"I made myself bait; I know that one of the witches is hiding in a woman named Rosemary, and I know that the wise first prince knows it." I bit my lip when I saw that he was coughing up blood. that Rosemary!

"I don't want to clear my name for myself. It's for a vampire that is very important to me. I want him to be free as well, the freedom he deserves. I want him to live freely, safe, and happy." I frowned at what he was saying. Who is he talking about?

"Claret Cordelia Amor. Thank you very much for the trust, smile, and warm hug. I will never forget your angelic face." Danna touched my neck so that our foreheads could touch. I don't want this anymore. I don't like things like this. I couldn't stop shaking as the lids of his eyes began to fall.

"Live well, Claret. I will never forget you. Thank you very much for everything. Thank you for being a good friend." He forced himself to smile at me.

"Danna, no. I can heal you. You know I can heal you." I tried to make him feel my power. I didn't pay attention to the shaking ground, thunder, or lightning. The Gazellians who are currently fighting are strong. I could only see Danna, and I could only hear the faint beating of her heart.

He held both of my hands and gently shook his head at me.

"Find my son Claret. He's a Gazellian. Tell him that he's free. He is now free; it was all because of you. Thank you very much, beautiful goddess from the mirror."

After these words, Danna closed her eyes.

The woman who can manipulate time has left this world forever.
