Jotham, Silvera Capital
2030Birds chirped, the flowers swayed gently as the cool evening breeze washed over them. Hazel and Yuka sat side to side, staring at the fountain flowing out of the mouth of the statue of a dragon which was located in the center of the east wing garden. No words were being said at the moment and there was a look of contentment on their faces. Being in the company of each other, seemed to give them a certain peace. Yuka eventually broke the silence, his gaze still resting on the fountain.
"You still miss them, don't you?" he asked, his voice soft.The corners of her lips curved upwards slightly."I do" she responded, a sigh escaping her lips when she thought of her family. She couldn't help but wonder if they were okay. Did they miss her as much as she missed them? Were they eating well?Were they havGlass collided with hard marble floor at the impact of Yuka's hand pushing the glass of wine out of Hazel's grip before the rim of the glass could touch her lips. Everyone was startled by Yuka's sudden action. He stared at them for a moment, not knowing what to say and how to explain what his instincts were relaying to him. The queen on the other hand, was upset. Yuka had just saved Hazel from a painful death. Her eyes had turned cold. Moreso, her lips were set in a grim line. The temperature of the room had dropped by several degrees. It was then the king understood the reality of what was going on. He let out a sigh of relief, his gaze meeting Yuka's. "What was that for?" Caden demanded. He was oblivious to what was happening right under his own nose. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was thinking. Here, you can have mine" Yuka stated, handing his glass of wine to Hazel who couldn't understand what was going on. Nevertheless,
Jotham, Silveran Capital "That's not funny, you idiot!" Hazel said, glaring at Yuka who winced."I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was thinking""Gosh! How can you be so immature? Now, how the hell am I supposed to forget about what I've just seen?" Hazel demanded, hitting him on the chest."I'm really sorry""No, you're not" she hissed and started to storm off."Come on, Hazel. I apologized" he said as he followed behind her."I won't tease you like that again, I swear""Just stay away from me for now. I don't want to talk to you""Hazel-" She sighed."Fine. Just give me a little while to forget about what I saw, okay?""Okay" She walked away, her heart stuttering in her chest. She couldn't believe she'd almost let him kiss her. 'He's so annoying!' she thought, trying to fight off the smile coming on.'Is Caden as sexy as Yuka?'She
Jotham, Silveran capital2030 Hazel's multicolored eyes glowed fiercely like the flames of a thousand furnaces, the thunder storm increasing in it's intensity. Yuka and Kai stared at her, amazed. "Yuka? W-what's going on?" Hazel asked. She was starting to panic and this emotion fueled her powers. Kai flinched at the sound of a terrifying thunder clap. Yuka held out a hand to Hazel, his gaze locked with hers. "Don't panic. You need to relax. Trust me, you don't want anyone else to know about this" he said and tears filled her eyes."I-I'm scared" "Hazel, you don't have to be scared. You need to get a grip of yourself, the sky is turning red" Kai said and she looked up towards the sky, her eyes widening when she saw that he was telling the truth. "What do I do? I'm really trying-""Give me your hand" Yu
Jotham, Silveran Capital. 2030 Yuka and Hazel carefully watched Anya as she walked into one of the chambers in the east wing. Her men stood by the door, guarding her."Do you know her?" Hazel asked her companion who had a confused look on his face. "This doesn't make any sense. Why would father bring in another half blood into the palace, especially one that is both Silveran and Galactican--""Thats it" Hazel said and his frown deepened. "What?""She's like you"Yuka's eyes widened when he finally understood what was going on. The half blood was supposed to get married to him. His stomach churned with uneasiness. He'd always found a way to escape things like this. But, at this point, he didn't have the faintest idea of how he was going to escape this one and it worried him. "Do you,by any chance, know why she's here?" Hazel probe
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030... Hazel let out a nervous chuckle as Yuka pulled away and rested his forehead against her forehead, a small smile playing on his lips. Her heart was hammering wildly against her rib cage. She'd never felt so excited, yet worried. No one had ever made her feel such intense emotions. It was clear that Yuka was the only man who affected her so much, in more ways than one."We just kissed" Hazel breathed, her gaze locking with Yuka's violet ones. He pulled away from her, his thumb stroking her cheek tenderly."We did" he agreed, his gaze unwavering."I know I should feel bad, guilty even, for doing this. But, does it make me a bad person if I enjoyed the kiss?" She said.She'd barely finished her statement when Yuka leaned closer to her a
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 He didn't know what she'd seen exactly. She might've seen them holding hands, she might've seen them embracing. In a worst case scenario, she might have actually watched him kiss Hazel twice. Since, he didn't know exactly what she'd seen, Yuka decided to play it cool by saying, "So? What if you saw us at the burial grounds?""I heard that you were mourning your mother's death. The red blood must be close enough to you for you to be able to bring her with you, to your mother's grave" Anya said and Yuka stared at her with a blank look on his face."I don't see the need to talk to you about any of this" he said and started to walk away again. Her next statement stopped him."If the king knows how close you have been with the red blood, you know that there are going to be grave consequences. Now, we don't want that,
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Driving her fists into the punching bag in the training court did nothing to ease the bitterness in Hazel's heart. She felt so angry and betrayed. Deep down, she knew she didn't have the right to be mad at Yuka for kissing someone else because they weren't even in a relationship. She exhaled slowly, sweat dripping down the sides of her face. Frustrated, she let out an angry yell and began to punch the punching bag fiercely."What the heck, Hazel? Take it easy" Caden said as he gripped the punching bag. He stood opposite Hazel who was glaring daggers at him, her chest heaving."Why are you so angry?" He asked and she turned away from him, picking up a towel. "Won't you say anything?" He asked, moving away from the punching bag. "As a matter of fact, I don't want to talk to you or anyone, right now" she sta
Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Hazel couldn't believe what she'd just heard. The numbness that swept over her was unexpected. In fact, she stared at Yuka, stunned to silence. The beautiful man in front of her was engaged to another woman. Hazel had never hated the word 'fiancee' so much, until this moment. "I'm sorry, Hazel. This just isn't something that can be helped" Yuka said, gazing at Hazel who stared at him with wide brown eyes. "She's your fiancee?" She breathed and Yuka sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Yes" "So, this is it? This is where it all ends?" She said, her voice cold. Yuka felt his heart sink. "Hazel..." "You can leave now," Hazel stated calmly. Her expression was nothing short of schooled. Silently, he walked right through the door, his heart hurting. He felt absolutely terrible. He felt like the situation had gone from bad to worse. But, it was time to face the reality he'd been running away from. Now, he had to figure out his marriage with Anya
