56 The evening ball
“Marriage!?” She was surprised she never thought that far and to the fact that the most sought after bachelor Denzell Edelgard is the one proposing to her.
“Yes, if you want I can arrange an even grander proposal, it’s just at this time I think you are not prepared yet.” He moves and knelt before Barrett still holding her hands.
“Dragons have a different way of proposing but since you are a human, I would like to get your consent and consider your thoughts before anything else.” He sincerely stares at her eyes which are still wide in surprise.
“But… Why me?” She still doubts why a normal human like her.
“It’s because it is you, I’ve liked you since that day.” The day she met this handsome man who helped her when she sprained her ankle, it seems like faith has b

It still vividly plays in her memory, the evil men who captured and killed her mother and her uncle. Barrett has stayed hidden under the sink and doesn’t even let a single gasp of her to be heard. When one of the men stopped right in front of the area she had been hiding her whole body turned to stone. Anytime she can be found and killed. The moment the basin hiding her was removed her eyes widened and she put her hand on her mouth. The man looked under the sink, he was just right in front of her, the tears fell down on her cheeks. Surprisingly the man looked as if straight into the space, then it spoke to the other men that there was nothing. Her heart race calms down a little, didn’t he see her? Isn’t she what they’ve been looking for? At that time Barrett tried to escape at the back door, unluckily getting straight into the corpse of her mother and the so-called uncle she ran past them. That is when sh
Barrett: Heart of Promise 60 A consideration
The night after her meeting with Faera, she stays at her room alone. Remembering the tale her mother repeated speaks of her, the myths of the dragon and the werewolves. One would think that it was just a story, however her being born is already one fact that the truth behind those myths are actually reality. She held the memento her mother has gifted her, it was passed down to every generation, it was a magic stone that has kept their descendants safe and is proof of the blessing that the fairy goddess has gifted her ancestor. She got so worried over the things recently that night Barrett skipped dinner due to an upset stomach. Denzell, who came home late, was informed by the butler. “We have given her medicine and prepared soup just in case she gets better and feels like eating. However, she refused anyone to enter her room and told us to retire for the day.

“I really didn’t know!” Damien kept kneeling down and asking for forgiveness at Barrett, he could still feel the chills when Denzell looked at him. Even when he entered his office, as if it was passing through the walls. “It’s fine I’ve never told you guys before as well.” Barrett has to make the most realistic story that both she and Denzell have known each other for a long time and that they’ve just recently met when she applied here at IIC. Their meeting at the Pisces and Gem café is what she told as their first meeting and that she didn’t know that he would end up becoming his boss. “Cliché isn’t it, we only just met a few months ago and besides, we didn’t want to tell the employees as well.” Worried that there will be special treatment and favoritism, she worried about working back at IIC. She considered applying to other companies however Denzell and of

“So Barrett, you mean the pureblood has been kind to you since you were a child?” She told her a brief story of how she and Faera have met, it was the same past she told to Denzell and the rest so that it will not make them go further. However, the ever sharp Damien, has been curious on ‘why and what ifs’ that the conversation is being dragged on. “Yes, I don’t know much, but that ends well that until now Faera has been treating me well.”” “She’s not going to make you her human slave or something right?” The sudden remarks made Barrett stare at him. “Well you know in the movies, vampires usually take humans, either to eat them or maybe keep them by their side.” “Damien, aren’t you a dragon yourself?” It was unbelie

The silence remained until Barrett reached the Edelgard Mansion, she was greeted by Denzell who just got home. “Have you eaten dinner?” “No, but I’m tired, I’ll just skip dinner.” Her languid reply made him eyed Damian asking for any information however he just shook his head not to instigate more. “That’s not good for your body, what about soup? I’ll ask someone to bring it to your room.” Barrett felt a bit guilty and just nodded.

It seems like not all death of her family is caused by the blessing of the Fairy goddess, but another factor was the one w
