====================

“Pardon?” he was surprised when she nodded towards the kids that were scurrying away.

He had thought that they were wandering aimlessly while looking around and feeling the vibes of a festival. Who would have thought that the girl was following the kids all this while when they were talking leisurely.

“But why do we need to follow the kids? You have already helped them enough. It is not your duty to look for their wellbeing. Is it?” He could not understand why she was getting so drawn towards the kids she did not even know.

It felt completely aimless and foolish to be so attached to someone who was nothing to you a few minutes ago.

This time Hazel did not reply to him. She had noticed the small wounds and scratches and marks of belts on their body and she was sure there were more than that beneath those torn clothes.

Whoever was keeping them was beating them and most possibly it could be for money..

But why was she so concerned? She knew how it felt to be mistreated! When Vincent had held her in his arms or when Liam had slapped her to get even with her. She had felt weak!

If she were not able to save herself when she had already passed that age of being a toddler long ago, then how would those kids be able to fight back and protect themselves?

Truth to be told, she had only acted to be strong all this while so that she could survive. If not, someone had taken the benefit of her weakness and hurt her further.

When she saw the kids, she saw herself in them. She could not stop herself from helping them.

Even if she would be called a fool, she did not mind. If she would be able to help even one of them, she might gain her true strength too!

The thought only increased her determination as she continued to follow them.

Lucian waited for her to reply in vain when her eyes only saw the kids. As if talking to him would distract her and she would lose the kids in the crowd.

She turned completely silent and the speed of her footsteps increased. When he noticed that they have long passed the crowd and now they’re walking on deserted roads that are darker.

He could feel the evil and uneasy vibes from there.

Even if they see a man or two, he did not like how they were staring back at them with a sinister look in their eyes.

“Lady Hazel, I do not think that we should go further. This place is not safe for you.

I would have offered that i would follow them while you wait for me here but i did not feel easy while leaving you alone in a place like this.” he looked at their surroundings with vigilant eyes while his hands already reached the dagger again.

He had been to the darker areas, they survived on these kinds of dark paths only yet he had never felt uneasy in the past even if he had women with him.

But right now, he just wanted to hold this stubborn girl in her arms and take her away from here since he knew that she was not going to listen easily.

“Why should I be scared when you are here? Or do you want to say that you are not sure if you can protect me from a few ruffians?

I thought you could even fight with beasts!”  her tone was nonchalant but beneath it, he could feel her mockery!

His hands tightened on his dagger. He wanted to tell her that he was sure that he could kill all of them even if they attacked him at once.

But when it comes to her, he did not know what stupidity she would do this time.

“My lady!” but before he could say anything she slapped his hands away with force that stunned him.

“Shush! For a slave and a warrior you sure speak a lot. Do you not know that you should be silent while following someone?” she glared at the man who had only demotivated her from the start.

She knew that the area was not safe and her body was covered in cold sweat too but she did not want to be a coward all her life.

She had to face her threats one day, then why not now? Though she was scared, the thought of saving a life gave her enough strength to continue even when she was afraid.

He pursued his lips as he knew that there was no way she would listen. All he could do now was to make sure to attack first whoever came closer to her with malicious intent.

“There, we are almost there.” she whispered as she saw the kids holding each other’s hands as if they were trying to gain strength from that and entered a dark house that had no lights burning.

Just as the kids entered the house, the light burnt and as she walked closer, she could hear the sound of shouting and even throwing things.

The stench of alcohol and drugs was so strong that she could smell it even when she was a few houses away.

The two men that were guarding the door were looking masculine and strong but more than that they have an evil vibe.

She was sure that they would have enough weapons and they would not hesitate at all on attacking her if she walked any closer.

Just as she was thinking whether she put Lucian in danger or not, one of them tilted his head and turned to look at her. Their eyes met and she could feel the dangerous aura he had surrounding him. An evil grin formed on his face and he licked his lips as if he was already enjoying what was going to happen in his mind.

“You shall stay behind me and do not act on your own when it comes to dealing with them.”
