Hazel pov
I look out my window and stared at the beautiful sun, it's been 4days and I haven't seen Alexander, I guess he's avoiding me,well it's my fault I shouldn't have asked him if he really did kill his mother and queen Elizabeth,he must have been hurt by my question,I needed to fix things with him,he is my husband now and even if he did kill them,he must have his reasons,I needed to speak with him.
" My lady",I turned around and found Irene with some baked bread, but I wasn't in the mood for food.
" Irene is there any news about my husband?".
"No my lady,he hasn't been seen since that morning". disappointed I walk towards my mirror, Irene dropped the bread on the table and walked towards me taking the comb to comb my hair.
" My lady your red hair Is beautiful". I smiled she really knew her ways with words.
" Thank you". I looked at her reflection through the mirror and I noticed she liked my hair a lot,she always had a smile when she combed it and always loved to play with it.
" My little sister has a red hair just like yours". I heard her say," she would make me comb her hair for hours and when I refuse to do it she would give me the silent treatment, and I would be force to do as she says",
"She seems nice, I would love to meet her someday", I said with a smile on my face, but then I saw the colour drain from her face.
" She's dead", she said her voice bearly a whisper, like she didn't want to believe what she just said.
"How?". I asked holding her gaze through the mirror.
"The demons". I heard her say, I turn towards her and she was crying,I stood up and hugged her, while her silent tears fell after a while I let her go.
" Would you mind telling me about it"?.
" The demons had come to take me and my family away, but I didn't want her coming with us so I told her to run, I had asked her to run away, but the demons saw her and killed her right before my eyes, I... I was the cause of her death,I killed her, I killed her". I stared at her and just hugged her she kept crying and blaming herself but I tried comforting her, eventually she stopped crying and I let go off her.
"Let's go out for some fresh air". I said while smiling at her.
"Okay my lady".
We walked out of the room and walked around the halls,she walked behind me and I decided not to bother her she must really miss her sister and it's my fault for asking, stupid mouth hazel.
"Hazel!!". I turned around and saw Lissa walking towards me while glaring at me, now what does she want?.
"What can I help you with princess Lissa?"
" Where's Alexander?". She asked
"I don't know?". I muttered, she stared at me and let out a small laugh.
" What should I expect from you,off course you won't know,you know why?because your nothing but just a replacement for him."I stared at her confused what did she mean by that,? Replacement?.
" Lissa don't you have anything better to do, you have all your life to be annoying take a day off." I heard Ravina voice say,I turned and saw her with her maid walking over and Lissa just scoff and walked away.
"Hey don't listen to her, she's just annoying". Ravina said.
"Thanks", I muttered looking at Lissa as she walked into the halls.
" Hey, while don't you join me for some tea in the garden". Ravina asked with a smile on her face.
" Sure ".
We walked to the garden and a maid served us tea, I stared at my tea still trying to understand what Lissa meant by me being a replacement, did Alexander had someone in his life before,the thought of that suddenly made me uncomfortable.
" Hazel don't listen to her she's just jealous, because well your Alexander's wife. I heard Ravina said.
" Why would she".
" Well, you might not know this but Alexander and Lissa used to be a thing".
" They used to be together". I asked and she nodded and I didn't know why but I felt angry at the thought.
" Then why is she married to Levi"?
"Well, Alexander was only with her, because she knew her way in bed, and she thought Alexander actually loved her,and it's even said her gem is with Alexander,she had given the gem as a token of her love."
" a token of her love?but What's a gem". I asked
" Well a gem Is the power of every demon,each demons have a gem stone,when you hand over your gem to anyone,the person could kill you at will and could control your every move, more like you become the person's purpet,so it's mostly done between lovers to show their love for each other".she said while taking a sip from her tea.
" I still don't get why she married Levi". I wispered, bringing my cup close to my mouth.
" Well she wanted Alexander to marry her but Alexander wanted nothing more than just sex". And that got me to choke on my tea, God did she have to be so blunt with me.
" Sorry, we demons are sexual creatures so you should get used to seeing and hearing sexually things". I stared up at her and she giggled slightly.
"so where was I?,oh, Alexander refused to marry he saying she was just sex to him,and then she went to Levi in other to make Alexander jealous,and when it wasn't working she asked Levi to marry her, hoping Alexander would go crazy when he finds out about it but he didn't and out off anger,she went through with the wedding and that's how she became Levi's wife". I listened to all she said and I didn't know why but I felt hurt,was Lissa the reason why he didn't touch me that day, did he still love her?.
" Hazel!!".
" Yes, what?".
" You spaced out" she pointed out.
" Princess Ravina do you think Alexander and Lissa could still have a chance of being together". I asked looking down at my fingers.
" Hell no,once Alexander is done with a lady, he's done and besides he has you now his wife all you have to do is be ready to take him anyday,anytime and you will be good". She said,and I just smiled I didn't like the idea of Lissa being with Alexander, I mean he's my husband now I just have to work things out with him,but where is he?, The rest of the day was fun she took me round the castle and we had dinner together,she was really nice,we said good night to each other and went our separate ways, I got to my room and Irene helped me changed into my very exposed night dress,god I was almost naked, and after she was done she left leaving me in this big room all by myself,I sat down in my bed and combed my hair,and I still couldn't get over what Lissa told me, did he marry me just to make Lissa jealous,I signed and I heard the door opened I turned around and saw those eyes and my world stopped.
