Chapter 74
Den froze and so as Draco, they both had surprised looks on their faces.
Xia Meilin just flew to their middle and blocked their attack by using her own body and it wasn’t really funny because they stabbed her deeply.
Draco stabbed her from behind and Den stabbed her from the front so he could see her face clearly.
Blood was already dripping out of her lips, her eyes had turned red already and Den couldn’t believe his eyes.
He came here to protect her but who knew that he would be the one to kill her in the end.
Tears came out from his eyes and both him and Draco released their sword at the same time.
Gianna’s body began falling slowly but Den flew after her and caught up with her. He wrapped his arms around her and began slowly.
They got to the floor and Gianna coughed out blood.
“Why?” He asked, sniffing the tears that were about to come out from his eyes.
Xia Meilin let out a low smile and brought her hands to his face.
“It’s the best thing to do, I told you that I’ll leave Gianna for you right? I’m leaving her body today so be happy” she said with a weak smile.
“How can you say that, I can’t be happy, you’re leaving me again Anna” he cried and she chuckled.
“Leaving you? Nonsense!” She scoffed and trailed her hands down to his chest.
“I’m not leaving you Angie, I’ll forever remain here” she smiled at him and squeezed on his chest tight.
Rennie just stood at the same spot not knowing what to say or do. It’ll be useless and hopeless to do anything so he decided to leave with a heavy heart.
Thousands of years have passed but Xia Meilin will never love him. I guess love can’t be forced. He thought sadly before using his powers to lift himself up and flying away from the scene.
If she wants to die then let her die in the arms of the man she loves.
Draco watched, feeling speechless before deciding to land.
Guess there’s nothing left for him other than too…
He didn’t even get to finish his thoughts when he felt something piercing into him from behind.
Something licked from his mouth and dropped on his hands and he slowly raised his hands up to see blood.
His mouth was bleeding but why?
He slowly looked down only to find a sharp stainless pointy edge coming out of his stomach and it had some blood leaking out of it.
No one needs to tell him what had just happened, no one needs to tell him that he had just been stabbed.
He shut his eyes tight as Nevaeh pulled the sword away from him. Her eyes widened and all the hatred she was feeling a while ago suddenly disappeared.
Draco slowly went down and the sword fell from Nevaeh’s hands, she immediately bent to gather him in her arms.
Her fingers were shaking as she cupped his face and began arranging his already scattered hair backwards.
“What have I done?” She muttered and tears began coming out of her eyes.
Draco slowly brought his hands to her face then wiped her tears off.
“Look at you, why are you crying for your enemy?” He asked softly.
Nevaeh just shook her head and sniffed in her tears, she didn’t know what to say but she never wanted to kill him now.
How did all her hatred for him disappear the moment she stabbed him? Now all she was feeling was nothing but pains and regrets.
Does this mean that she had liked him for a while but was blinded with hate and revenge
“I’m sorry” she cried and he shook his head.
“I’m the sorry one here, I’ve been nothing but a bad guy lately and I’ve caused you and everyone a lot of pain so don’t you think I deserve this?” He asked weakly and coughed out more blood.
Nevaeh didn’t just know what to say other than to cry. She raised her hands up and tried to utter any spell but Draco caught it and put it back down.
“Don’t think of saving me because I was already prepared for this and I’ve been waiting for you” he said.
“So you wanted me to kill you?” Nevaeh asked in tears and when he didn’t reply, she sniffed and asked him why he wanted it.
“Why?” Draco echoed and scoffed out.
“What do you expect me to do after having my revenge? Sit on my throne and start killing everyone?” He asked.
Nevaeh sniffed in her tears and looked up.
“I just want to be free, Nevaeh, staying alive doesn’t make me happy, right from the moment I was born and even up till now I feel so lonely and empty, nobody loves me so why should I keep being alive?” He asked and for the first time a teardrop fell from his eyes and he looked into space.
“If my mother had loved me from the moment she gave birth to me, then she wouldn’t have abandoned me just to fight alongside with her husband, she would have left me to grow up all alone watching others looking happy with their families” he sniffed and continued.
“People wouldn’t be so scared of me when I was still general Kia, people won’t see me as a monster! I might look like I didn’t care about what people think of me but I do Nevaeh!! Everyone sees me as a monster… including you” he said out loud but lowered his voice when he added the last line.
Nevaeh tears kept falling freely from her eyes as she listened to him.
“Then I grew not to care anymore and even hurt those that cared back then when I killed Gianna I regretted it but never showed it because when my family was killed, when I was always beaten up and working as a general no one cared so why should I care about others?” He said and coughed out more blood before looking at her again.
“I was consumed fully by the darkness. I never really cared about anything anymore but you won’t believe it if I tell you how happy I am to see you cry for me, to see that I still have someone who doesn’t want me dead?” He asked and Nevaeh bit her lips hard as she tried stopping herself from crying.
Draco brought his hands back to her face, wiped her tears then trailed his fingers down to her lips and caressed it softly.
“Thank you Nevaeh” he whispered with a soft smile before his hands finally dropped from her face to the ground.
Nevaeh eyes widened and she tried shaking him.
“Draco!! Draco!!” She yelled out in tears but he didn’t move, his eyes were closed.
“Don’t die Draco!! I love you okay!! I love you, please wake up!!!! Draco!!!!” She let out a loud cry.
She was full of regret now, though she spent just a few times with him. It was actually fun, she really enjoyed drooling at the sight of him and when they fought and when he kissed her, she really enjoyed everything.
Why did she have to kill him now!? Nevaeh was really pained.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Next thing, Draco’s body began fading off and her eyes widened.
“Draco!!” She stood up and tried catching it but they were gone, they disappeared into thin air and not just him, his dragon too.
Nevaeh gripped on her hair really tight, she bit her lips hard and fell on her knees then burst into tears.
Nothing! Absolutely nothing could take her pains away, who knew that killing him would be the biggest mistake she would ever make.
On the other hand, Gianna’s hand dropped from Den’s cheeks to the floor.
“Anna!!” Den yelled out in tears and Nevaeh looked up immediately.
That was when she realized that Den was at her front with… was that Anna? Was that baby Ann?
Before Nevaeh could stand up, a golden light made out of sprinkles began coming out of Gianna’s body, the light flew around everywhere and each place the light touched, it turned from old to new, rough to neat, tattered to smooth and so on.
Nevaeh and Den kept looking everywhere in surprise, the half burnt palace was new once again, the dead flowers were rising, the broken fountain was fixing by itself even the bloods and dead bodies were disappearing.
Gianna’s body began drying up and Den turned his attention back to her. Her face began turning ugly then old and wrinkled.
“Anna” Den creased his brows and before he knew it, her wrinkled face began turning to skeleton and her skeleton turned into dust.
“Anna” Den called again looking left and right, she was laying here with him right? So where did she go?
“Anna!!”
