Chapter90. Draco’s POV: Failed
Her voice trembling. “Please, don’t fight anymore. Let’s just leave and be safe. I… I don’t know, I am having a very bad feeling about everything that’s happening here… it’s… it’s like what I saw in my dream. Draco please…”
But before she could finish, Nemesis’s female accomplice lunged at her with a dagger. I felt a surge of fury inside me as I watched her attack my Liana. She did herself bad.
“You dare to hurt her?!” I roared, my eyes blazing with rage. “I’ll show you what it means to cross a Dragon Lord, you little b*tch! ”
In a swift movement, I lunged at her, using all my strength to strike her down. The sound of her body hitting the ground was music to my ears, and I felt a sense of satisfaction wash over me as I looked down at her lifeless form.
But the triumph was short-lived.
I turned around to see Nemesis holding the Ivory Blade.
I took a step back, my eyes wide. “How the hell did you get your filthy hands on that again? ”
My tone must had become a little shaky and he caught onto that.
He just smiled, his eyes glinting with malice. “It’s too late for that question, Draco,” he said. “You should have thought about the consequences of your actions before your lot banished my mother.”
Just then, I sensed my troops descending and so might have Nemesis as well.
I had just looked up and my sight was back at him again.
He was right in front of me but Liana was between him and me.
Then everything else unfolded in a slow motion.
My nose caught the scent of Liana’s blood.
I felt a sudden sense of dread as I saw the blade pierce through her chest, the tip of the Ivory Blade protruding from her back.
“Liana!” I screamed, reaching out to catch her as she fell.
The Elite guards snooped down one after the other, transforming back into their human forms.
I saw Nemesis, break into a run as the guards ran behind him.
All the sounds , all the noises went into reverb as all I could hear were echoes.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
My sight was getting blurry, probably because they were rapidly getting moist. Then one tear after another, began dropping down my cheeks.
Liana looked up at me, her eyes filled with tears as well. “I… I had to do it,” she said, her voice barely a whisper. “I couldn’t let you die. I love you, Draco. Always.”
I felt a wave of despair wash over me as I looked down at her l. “No, Liana,” I said, my voice cracking. “Please, don’t leave me.” Then I added in a whisper.
“I love you too.”
But it was too late. She was gone, taken from me by the very blade that was meant for me. I felt tsunami of anger and sadness inside me, as I cradled her in my arms.
“Nemesis,” I said, my voice low and dangerous. “You will pay for this. I swear it on Liana’s memory.” I felt a sense of emptiness inside me, as I held her close, mourning the loss of the person who had ever truly understood me.
As I held Liana’s lifeless body in my arms, my mind was numb with grief. I barely registered the sound of footsteps behind me, only to turn as a little hand grabbed me from behind.
It was my Damian, his hands trembling with fear.
I turned around to see him standing there, his eyes wide with horror as he looked at Liana’s body. “Mommy?” he whispered, his voice barely audible.
I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at him, his small frame shaking with sobs. “I’m sorry, Damian,” I said, my voice barely a whisper. “Mommy’s gone. She’s not coming back.”
He looked up at me, his eyes filled with tears. “No, ” he cried out, his voice breaking. “Please, don’t let her go. I don’t want her to leave again.”
I felt terribly helpless as I looked at him, his face contorted with grief. “I know, Damian,” I said, my voice shaking with emotion. “I don’t want her to go either.”
I tried holding my son’s hand between my folds.
He looked up at me, his eyes a little confused. “But Daddy, it’s not fair,” he said, his voice trembling. “Why did she have to go again?”
I felt a sudden sense of despair wash over me as I looked at him, his small form shaking with grief. “I don’t know, Damian,” I said, my voice cracking as I chocked on my own tears. “I wish I did. But all we can do now is remember her.”
He took a step towards me and sat beside me, taking Liana’s other hand in his own hand.
Together, we sat there, holding Liana’s lifeless body, as the tears flowed freely down our faces. And in that moment, I knew that nothing would ever be the same again.
And in that confusing moment, I failed to notice, how the Ivory Blade could take the life of my Liana, who was supposed to be just a human.
