Book 7: Chapter 261: Silver Haired Beauty (3)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Author’s Note: This is the first chapter of a few I plan on writing that rehash Dyon’s first meetings with Jade. The italics represent sections taken verbatim from previous chapters I’ve written while the normal text are new and represent how matters play out from Jade’s perspective. It’ll be an interesting ride to see just how Jade went from pure hearted young woman to murderer and just what role Dyon played…]
<super>th</super> stage aurora.Jade’s opal eyes swirled with beautiful colors, blinking as she awaited Dyon’s answer. She found this human quite interesting. Despite his words making him seem like a playboy, she could see into his mind quite easily. As such, she knew quite well that even if she made the first move, this mysterious young man would reject her for the sake of the woman he was thinking of now.
This made Jade incredibly curious. Not only was she a beauty by human standards, but even within the Elvin Race, aside from maybe some ladies of the desire-filled Norville family, none could match her looks.

They tried to keep her mentally stable by giving her those phony foster parents, but her abilities were far beyond even what they thought. She had long since seen through them, she could also see how they used her as nothing but a tool…
Jade’s smile bloomed when she heard Dyon’s thoughts.
‘We’re so compatible in the way we think…’ She couldn’t help but think to herself. ‘We’re both witty and playful in our word choice. Plus he’s so handsome…’ Jade shook her head. ‘Listen to yourself Jade Eostre, lusting after a 14-year-old boy when you’re already 18 this year…’ historical
However, that odd desire seeded in Jade’s heart. She hadn’t realized that not only had Dyon’s pain over the loss of his parents become her own, but she mistook the love Dyon held in his heart for Madeleine, for love she felt toward Dyon…
