Chapter-67

VICTORIA’S POV

“I am displeased that I wasn’t involved in this plan. Do you not trust me, Victoria? There had been so many times when I have saved you, yet you don’t trust me? You wounded my heart today.” My grandma Azrael said, and for a moment, I felt a little bit of guilt gnawing at me, but the feeling was gone as soon as it appeared.

“It’s not her fault. Don’t blame her, okay? She is already going through a hard time. Increasing the mental pressure on her with your emotional drama should be the last thing you should be doing here,” Daniel said, and I wanted to laugh at his straightforward words as I was glad that he saved the situation because I seriously didn’t know what to say or do when she said those words.

If my grandma was offended by his words, then she masked it very perfectly because the next thing we know, she started asking about the plan again. However, she was indeed right about this thing that she won’t hurt me.

She has been the one who had always been by my side since I was born, and even when I was neglected by my parents, she made sure that I had a decent upbringing, and know about my powers before someone could hurt me.

Sighing loudly, Daniel told her all the plans in brief, how they were trying to train me to make me stronger so that we can fight Christopher, and it irked me how he neglected the part where I saw that dream about the magical water. Why would he do that? Does he not believe in my powers and the dream I saw?

I wanted to ask him about it, but knowing that I shouldn’t be speaking about it in front of many people, I kept my doubts to myself.

“Are you sure this is your plan? I mean, do you think it will work? It’s Christopher we are talking about,” Azrael said.

“We will train her for that. We have around 25 days left for that. And I think they are enough for the training part. I will be also giving her some of my powers while she will fight with Christopher. All we need to do is teach her how to control that power.” Daniel said, and I looked at him wide-eyed.

This wasn’t something we had discussed, and judging from their shocked expressions Alexander and Ashton didn’t know about it either.

“Okay, that’s enough of a good idea. I will be going now that my work of bringing Alexander here is done. I will also try to find a way in the ancient books. There should have something on how Victoria can fight the witch king. Keep me updated with the details of the plans. I don’t want to feel left out.” she said before she disappeared.

“Hey, why won’t you tell her about my dre-” My words were cut short when daniel rushed towards me and placed a hand over my mouth to stop me from speaking.

“I think we should let Victoria rest,” Daniel said to Ashton, who nodded his head at him.

“You are right, let’s go and eat something. She had a tough day today,” Ashton said before he made a walking sound by tapping his foot on the floor, and Alexander followed suit.

I waited for him to remove his hand, and after what felt like an eternity but were ten minutes, he finally removed his hands from above my mouth.

“Is she gone?” Alexander was the one to ask, and Daniel nodded his head.

“You will never tell about your dream to anyone. I repeat to anyone, okay?” Daniel said, and I nodded my head at him.

“You should know that even when she disappeared, some part of her was still here because she hadn’t teleported completely.” daniel said, making me nod my head.

No wonder they were talking like that.

Closing my eyes as I felt the warm healing power that had been healing me becoming more prominent, I groaned, feeling the comfortable as it felt like someone was massaging my sore body.

“Hey, are you okay?” Ashton asked, and I smiled at him while Daniel just looked at me with squinted brows.

“You are whaling quite quickly than it is deemed normal,” He said.

Nothing passes his eyes, does it?

“Maybe my powers are becoming stronger than you deemed normal,” I commented, and Ashton chuckled, knowing all too well that I was being sarcastic about how hard he rained me today.

“I am doing it for your good only. Let’s go. She indeed needs some rest,” Daniel said, and Ashton nodded before they started to walk out of the room.

I looked at Alexander as he was sat beside me, his hand combing my hair affectionately.

“You do know that I won’t let you sleep in the same room as her in my kingdom, right?” Ashton said, and Alexander rolled his eyes at that.

“I know dumb wit. I don’t expect it either. I know you are the king here, and it will implicate negatively on you if your queen is alone and sleeping with some other king.” Alexander said, and Ashton nodded his head before leaving us alone.

It wasn’t long before Alexander also made his way out. It was the first time he didn’t kiss my forehead or made any intimate gesture with me, and I don’t know why but it irked me a little. I know he was uncomfortable here. However, he was still trying his best to adjust because of me.

It was evident in his awkward moves.

Sighing loudly as I almost felt healed, I stood to look at my reflection, wanting to see how many scars I had. Wincing loudly, my eyes became as wide as saucers when I noticed what a little piece of ** I looked like. I was black and blue all over, and there were several large cuts and marks on my body. Though they didn’t hurt and the scars will be gone soon, the sight was still dreadful to me.

I was busy gazing at myself in the mirror when I felt a rare familiar presence around me. Someone that I didn’t expect to come here and meet me. I saw the reflection of the person in the full-length mirror and couldn’t help but feel my knees weakening as I immediately recognized him.

Turning my body quickly, I looked towards the right corner of my room, my eyes first widening then tearing as I missed this man so much.

“Grandpa?” I whispered, a tear falling from my eyes as I rushed to hug him. I couldn’t believe he was here. I couldn’t trust my eyes, and I needed to touch him to know it was real and that I wasn’t just imagining things like everyone has been saying these days.

“You stay away from me, you filthy hybrid!” He shouted, pushing my body away.
