Chapter 76

I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath. Which vampire does Lily say will help Zen and me? Can Zen and I not rely on this opportunity? Is it possible that we will succeed? I'm in trouble, my prince is also in trouble. Is it right for me to fight? Now that he's giving up? Am I still doing it right?

I just bit my lip. So I haven't seen Dastan for weeks because he's been looking for this vampire? He helps us a lot. I don't know how to thank them more.

It's not like I'm holding my chest, why Lily? Dastan? Harper and Casper? Why didn't they throw me up? Why didn't they give up the curse? why is the man I love so much the first to give up? Why Zen? Why? I still can't accept what he did to me. I still can't accept the solution he came up with.

I'm afraid to try again, I'm afraid to hope for nothing again. Can we really be helped? Is there really anything he can do? Because I admit it to myself, I'm also discouraged. I'm so tired of seeing a woman shaking her head in front of me. my heart is broken, broken. I don't know how much longer this will last.

We started to leave the room where they planned to return me to the human world.

I remained silent as Lily followed ahead of us, with Evan, Caleb and Finn between us feeling Zen and I's every move.

I knew Zen was forcing his way into my mind but I shut it tightly. I still can't talk to him. and every time I remember what he did to me earlier, my chest hurts, what if Lily didn't come? Will he break the glass too like my grandfather did? He will also let me not return to this world? How can he be so cruel?

I continued walking as his brothers joined us, knowing that Zen had been glancing at me several times.

"Claret.." he called me softly. He didn't pay attention to his brothers who got between us. I didn't look at her and kept my eyes on Lily's back.

"Claret.." I remained deaf.

"Claret baby.." I didn't hear anything.

"Claret.." I still feel bad for you! Stop calling me! Stop calling me!

"Cordelia..." you're not hearing anything Claret!

"Baby.." I sped up walking, I didn't keep up with their siblings and chose to be next to Lily.

"Claret baby.." I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes. I just bit my lip as I felt his eyes firmly staring at my back.

I want to slap him, I want to shout at him, I want to hit his chest because of what he did to me but despite my feelings, I still want to hug him, kiss him, stroke his hair, touch his face and feel the warmth of his body again. God Zen! I miss you.

I gently touched Lily's joy which made her stop walking. He knew I was crying again but he chose to kill malice.

"What's wrong Claret?" he asked me.

"Please Lily, make him stop..make him stop for a while.." I said to him. because the more I hear Zen calling my name, the more my heart and soul feel that we are so far away from each other.

I saw Lily turn back to where Zen was, I knew she heard what I said too.

"Zen.." Lily called him seriously. Zen didn't call me again until we got to the Gazellians' room where they often met.

When we entered the room I spoke again to ask Lily something.

"May I know what Rosh gave me when he visited earlier?" I asked in surprise.

"The mirror we used was from him" Zen answered me quickly. I immediately frowned, Rosh knew that Zen would return me to the human world? did they help me? I can't believe it, I thought Rosh was on my side?

"He's not involved baby, just blame everything to me.." Zen immediately said as if he had entered my mind again.

I didn't answer him until we finally entered the room. we expected Dastan, Casper, Harper and even the queen to be waiting when we saw an unfamiliar man. He was currently standing on the table in the room while arrogantly waving. his eyes were high as if examining every image painted on the ceiling of the palace.

God lord, he is damn standing like a masterpiece carved by a talented artist.

"Who is he?" I listened to Caleb whisper. Lily snorted exaggeratedly to distract the man who didn't seem to notice our entry.

"Oh, you're all here" he lost his attention on the ceiling and faced us. He was still awake as he bit his lip and examined each of us. I immediately noticed the blue earring on her right ear.

At a glance, you can tell that this is no ordinary vampire. not only by the physical characteristics he has, but also by the way he dresses I can tell he is a nobleman or prince from another empire.

A handsome and damn arrogant looking prince. I really thought a babaylan would help us again, what skills does this vampire have?

"Where's Dastan?" Lily asked formally.

"Go out?" this is the answer. It quickly hit the table and in an instant he was in front of me.

"You must be Cla--?" he couldn't continue holding my long hair when there was a block of ice between the two of us.

/

"Don't touch her" said Zen emphatically as the man was already in front of her.

"Chill, I'm here to help" the man said with a smile as if he wasn't even afraid of Zen's eyes that were ready to kill at any time. Evan and Caleb got between them because Zen didn't even pay attention to what the man said.

"I need to talk to her, I can't help you if I can't talk to her" Zen violently shook his brothers' hands at him.

"Talk to me instead" Zen said directly to the man who just raised his eyebrows.

"He's the one I want to talk to" answered the man boldly, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop again.

"Zen, it's okay" I scolded Zen softly.

"Leave, I don't need your help" Zen said firmly.

"Zen! let him be" we all turned to Dastan and the queen starting to enter the room. Even Harper and Casper followed them.

"See? Move, I need to talk to your goddess" the man said, waking up as if he was deliberately heating up Zen's head.

even though it was against Zen's heart what he was going to do, he chose to step aside, this was the order of Dastan and his mother.

"Talk is different from touch, fucker. I am watching" Zen said emphatically, widening the man's grin even more.

"Mind holding him for a while?" the man asked Lily.

"What?!" Zen shouted loudly. It was too late before he could struggle Zen, Lily's smoke has bound him.

"You're allowing him to touch my Claret?! And what the fuck is this damn smoke Lily?!" snarled Zen who was getting lost in Lily's smoke. My eyes remained fixed on the vampire who was starting to approach me. Who is he?

"You're over reacting Zen.." Lily answered weakly.

The man only knocked on Zen's ice a few times before it slowly melted. My eyes widened when he did this. what kind of power does he have? Even Zen and his siblings were also surprised by what they witnessed.

I kept staring at him and didn't listen to Zen's incessant swearing at the man.

"You know me Claret.." the man said softly. he gently caressed my hair which made him pull back from me.

"Don't touch me, Zen will kill you.." I said seriously. Zen remained lost while the other Gazellians just watched us.

I frowned staring at the man. How can I meet him? I just saw him for the first time. What is he talking about?

I noticed that he was grabbing something from his pocket and when he got it he immediately presented it in front of me.

"Pick, milady.." I was stunned by his smiling face at me. He's..he is..

With my itchy hand I pulled out a card. And when I saw what card I got, I realized my suspicions were right. He's one of them.

Ace of Hearts.

He threw it in the air all the papers he was holding and he let them fall little by little while his eyes were fixed on me. He gently grabbed my cold hand and slowly bent down to me as he placed his lips on the back of my right hand.

"I am Seth Theodore Viardellon, the third vampire from the prophecy. The 13th Prince of Parsua Avalon. I am here to help beautiful goddess from the mirror.." I remained stunned at the handsome vampire in front of me. He's the one who can help Zen and me? A set vampire?

I can't help but compare it to the established vampires. They all have a certain elegance that will make every female vampire in this world swoon.

And they have their own distinctions. Am I the only one who notices? Or are vampires really meant to be like this? if the prince of the snows can be seen with a small mole near his lips, Tobias also has a small one on the bridge of his nose, Rosh with three small moles on his neck and now this vampire from in Parsua Avalon, added to his Her small mole on the side of her left eye is cute.I didn't think a set vampire could help us.

"I'm here to help, Claret Cordelia Amor.." I pulled my hand from her.

If I were in a different time, I might have started laughing. He has a hard time pronouncing words with 'r'. in other words, this prince stutters with 'r'.

damn cute He glanced at Lily and she smiled at him.

"You can release him, he's my brother" he said with a shrug that made Zen's face sour.

"You are not my brother" said Zen irritated when he let go. he was about to take a step to come to me when he suddenly stopped and chose to stay in his position. My chest ached again.

"So shall we sit everyone? I'll discuss everything.." Seth said formally.
