He looked at him with widened eyes that were larger than saucers while his whole body turned rigid.
He wanted to kill her? Yes! But he was not the one who killed her. He was just holding the dagger but she was the one who covered his hands and pulled the dagger to her body and attacked herself.
He kept holding the dagger and staring at her who was shouting but her eyes were so calm that he could see that the shrike was fake.
But why?
“Aahhhh!”
“What in the world?” He took out the dagger from her body with the intention to attack her again.
He did not know what he was planning but he knew that she was dangerous and should die. That was his chance to kill her..
With that thought he attacked her with more force this time. This time, he would not attack her abdomen but her vital organs.
His eyes filled with the desire to kill her but just as the dagger could touch her chest where her heart was, the dagger was held by Rafael.
“Huh!” the eyes of Vincent widened as he looked around when he heard the sound of various footsteps.
Lucian was standing just an inch away from Rafael. If Rafael would not have held the dagger, Lucian would have done it.
All the councilmen were standing around him with many knights holding swords towards him.
That was all a trap! He had thought that they were under his control but he was just a puppet in her hands all this time;
She looked at him with a look full of disdain hiding behind Rafael. She lipsed the word “fool!” while smirking at him when his eyes turned colder.
He had lost everything. His name, image, position and the right to be the next is improper due to her.
He had had so many women and she should have been one of them. How dare she stand against him and trap him.
“You bitch! Do you think that you can win against me?” He lost his rationality completely as he attacked her once again but before he could do so, Rafael shot him in the abdomen with his gun, shocking every person present there.
“My lord, why have you shot him? We should have a trial to solve the matter!” one of the councilmen grieved as he ran towards the body of Vincent who had fallen on the floor yet was still alive.
“Ooh, i was just scaring him but my hands slipped.” he showed a fake surprise and then looked at the councilman apologetically but beneath that, he had a smirk on his face and his eyes were filled with mirth.
“…….” how could you aim him and remove the safety lock and pull the trigger with the slip of your hands.
The councilman was at a loss of words while everyone continued to stare at him.
“Is he still alive?” asked another when the first councilman nodded as he checked the pulse of Vincent.
“Yes, but it is so slow. He would not love for long if he would not be treated immediately and the human world did not have any treatment for guns.”
The guns were still limited to the vampire world where they used them to attack witches. The vampires have healing capacity so they did not get injured with swords.
Their wounds would heal in seconds so that recovery could be seen with bare eyes while the wounds of guns are deeper and leave more impact on the vampires, they were able to heal the wound of a gun in a few days.
But when it comes to humans, they are not that strong or robust.
“Take him to the physician immediately and see what he could do!” ordered Edward with a long sigh when another councilman came forward and they both held Vincent and took him out of the room.
“Can you explain what you are doing here, your majesty?” Edward walked towards Estella who was shaking like a dry leaf in the storm but had still covered her face with her hands.
The woman shivered but did not reply, nor did she remove her hands from her face that created a frown on the face of Edward.
“Are you okay?” Rafael turned to look at Hazel while his hands had already let go of the gun and were covering the wound on her abdomen when she nodded but her whole face had turned white.
Her eyes were looking dim and a lot of blood had come out of her wound.
“My lord, we have matters to discuss.” said Edward when he noticed that Rafael was going to leave.
Rafael turned to look at Edward whose face turned ashen and he took a step back immediately while his whole body shrunk as if he was trying to disappear himself when he noticed the cold eyes of Rafael.
It looked like he would snap his neck and kill him instantly if he tried to stop him again.
“Can you not see that my wife is injured. Someone had tried to kill her and you want me to stand here and do a chit chat with you?” he growled that scared the wits of everyone present in the room while Lucian turned to look at him with surprise.
Hazel whose eyes had already turned blurry did not notice the change in the room as her eyes closed slowly. Her body that was held by Rafael felt lighter and he turned to look at the girl whose body had turned limp in his arms.
