'Who dares call Hazel a whore' Xavier thought as he was fuming with anger, his Hazel was crying and he couldn't wait to tear the person who called he such names into pieces. He rubbed her back as she cried and he hated it
"Cry all you want and then tell me who called you such"
"D-does it m-matter… who knows if it has reached the lands of Borreve already" she said as she whimpered badly
"Then I'll make sure I kill everyone single person who talks about it"
Hazel withdrew from the hug, her eyes were red and swollen, her nose also,she looked pale as she stared at him, she still sobbed softly as he stared back at her and she lowers her gaze
"Now tell me who dared call you such" he said in a fierce tone
"What a-are you g-going to do" she asked as she was also scared of what he might do, he looked very angry
"Just warn the people and persons who did so"
At the court room, Xavier had summoned everyone at the mansion, the maids, guards, Mrs Decron and Lady Dorin
"Why are we here son?" Mrs Decron asked
He tilted his head to her direction "Son? … well I'm here to correct some peoples statement"
"What statement" Dorin asked
"You'll find out" he then turned to Hazel "Point them out" Hazel didn't answer but just looked in the direction of the three maids, Xavier followed her line of sight and saw the three maids, they fidgeted as they came out
"You were the one who called Hazel here names right" he asked in a condensing tone
"We d-didn't mean t-to call h-her names" one said
"What made you call her names then"
"We are sorry, Milord" they chorused
"You will pay for your mistakes" and with his last word, their heads were ripped off from their body, those eyes that were alive just a second back were now left hollow
"From now on, nobody dares call her names or gossip about her and I mean…" he turned to Dorin "…NOBODY AT ALL" he said directly to Dorin as he knew she might do the same.
Blood sprawled everywhere and everyone was shocked, they weren't given any opportunity to apologize by the most surprising thing was he never used his hands on them, their heads just came flying out of their bodies. The sight was much for Hazel and she fainted
When she woke up, she was at Xavier's room, on the bed, she slowly opened her eyes to see Xavier by the fire place, he was adding some words into it, she tried getting up and he sensed it as her heartbeat increased, he turned to see her sitting with her legs crossed on the bed
"Was the sight too much for you" he said
"You said you were going to warn them"
"Oh, I forgot to mention the killing part"
"…"
"You didn't like the names they called you so I practically shut their mouth forever" he explained
"By killing them?"
"That's the best way"
Hazel then remembered how she spoke to him when she broke down and felt it was disrespectful
"I'm sorry" she said
"For what?"
"For the way I spoke, I was rude and I didn't call your name with respect, I was really angry"
"You didn't mean to"
There was a pause before Hazel spoke again
"Milord, are you flirting with me" she dared to ask
"That a question with so much courage but no, I can't flirt with you…" 'when I already love you' he completed in his thought "… when you have nothing to offer, I have women coming after me" he completed loudly
"I thought you said you've stopped bedding women"
"I said and I have, women throwing themselves on me, doesn't mean I'm bedding them"
"Yeah"
He brought a glass of water and gave it to her as he came closer to the bed and sat
"I was wondering why calling you a whore could set you on the edge"
"Its personal"
"And I said nothing's personal between us"
"But you have personal stuffs too like about your parents"
"Why do you want to know"
"Cause I'm curious about it"
"I won't tell you now"
"And I'm not telling you either"
"Who's the maid and who's the lord here, rabbit"
"You are the lord and as one, you are meant to know that humans love keeping things personal"
"Okay, as I told you, I'll tell you when you are ready"
"I'll tell you mine later too"
"And when is later"
"Maybe next …"
"…week" he completed " you gave your word, next week, do not fail"
"I never said so"
"Well I helped you complete it"
"…"
During the time of the night, they both went to sleep, Hazel tried to keep her distance from him as she shifted to the edge. Xavier who was reading some book on the bed with the covers which stopped at his waist noticed it and wanted to tease her, he held the covers such that as Hazel shifted more to the edge, there was no note covers for her
"Its raining and there will be cold" Hazel said
"Okay"
"Your with most of the covers"
"Then come closer and get it" he wanted going on with his teasing but he remembered what she said about not liking the way he treated her so he released it. She didn't want him to make such advances towards her and he wasn't going to do it again instead he'd woo her the right way. He could no longer discard the feelings he had for her. He kept the book he was reading when he noticed she was asleep, he dimmed the lights and slept also
At Mrs Decron's room, Dorin was there also and crying about the fact that Xavier killed three maids just because of a maid
"He has never done such for me mum, even when I was bullied at dance classes, he never reacted about it"
"That girl must be a witch, she has casted some spells on him"
"I think so too"
"Don't worry Dorin, I'll figure out a plan to stop this"
"I hope so"
