Chapter 50: Chapter 50

A/N: Not edited

I am half dead so please pray for my soul

Kharsan had first seen Rue when she was just a newborn child, it was then Mikhail had confessed to Diana that Rue was Kharsan's betrothed and the young boy eavesdropping on them was informed about it as well.

Kharsan did not liked Rue initially, he felt enmity towards her but it wasn't for long because Rue had always been like a tiny firefly who though little could light up his entire existence.

It was just that how could he think of the little baby that he played with after he lost his younger brother, anything else than a sister? The mere thought was disturbing to the child of nine thus he ran away, far from her to the academy.

It was only when he was fourteen did he returned because the curiosity to know her, to see her a little grown up far exceeded his childish thought of being away from her. That little strawberry that he cherished greatly had become such a sweet child.

But with his oncoming he also turned her life upside down. Sylvesters had long been at odds with him, ten assassination attempts were made on him even before he reached the age of twelve and that time it was also for him but he lived just like he always did.

He lived well like the monster he was.

And she suffered in his stead. He had seen blood and war so it never bother him anymore but Rue was different and she lost her voice because of him.

The elders then had a long discussion after the catastrophe in which it was suggested that Kharsan must be married to the little girl of eight who although could not speak but was still the daughter of Sylvesters and announce it to the world. It was to show the world the power of Villar, their strength to avenge.

Their power to kidnap the child of their enemy and force her to marry him.

A female was the honor of her clan. It was nothing but a declaration that they had taken away the honor of Sylvesters.

They desired to snatch all her freedom and shackle her to him, raise her for his pleasure since childhood, pretend to treat her like his wife but to make her obey him, to be the wife in name but in reality make her his slave.

Mikhail was beyond raged but Kharsan....how could he bear with others treating Rue like that. He was driven insane by bloodlust and without rhyme and reason attacked and killed three elder members of his own clan.

If he wasn't the only heir, he might have been removed from his position but since his strength was unquestionable with talent exceeding pars of any other, he was simply banished.

Made to never show his face until he agreed for the marriage.

Just like Kharsan, Mikhail could endure to part with his son but not endanger Rue so Kharsan after that just bid his little angel farewell and was never allowed to showup but it wasn't easy.

When Rue was rendered mute it was so difficult for him to not directly come and look after her, he could only arrange for doctors from all over the world in hopes that they could treat her.

Atlast she was seen by one of those men and could finally speak.

Kharsan remembered being overjoyed with so much happiness, he finally smiled after a long time that day.

Later, that little baby who resembled a flower soon grew up into an endearing ethereal fairy who not only often asked people about him but sighed way too much when he did not showed up at her birthday.

It was almost humorous to him despite been sad.

He was always there just that he could not appear infront of her so he conveyed his deep affection for her as the blue rose.

It was at her sixteenth birthday when she was smiling like an angel did Kharsan first realized that he really liked Rue, maybe it was a possessive obsession but after knowing for so long that she was his betrothed he truly liked wanted to cherish her all his life.

In future when she had passed college he wished to ask her if she wanted to be with him.

He had so many dreams and all of them were centered around her, his baby whom he realized after parting from her this time in her school, he loved her.

So when he saw her calling, his face that was usually stoic and cold soon smiled.

His precious baby

"Rue is gone." It wasn't the usual sweet voice that greeted him, it was his mother at the other end who was crying.

"What are you saying-"

"Rue left us to go to Sylvesters. She said she knew that Mikhail had kidnapped her and will not come back, Kharsan you father is worried that she is in danger."

Kharsan felt ice water being poured over him as his ears started ringing.

His innocent little angel who never thought of herself but others.

His Rue was gone.

"He has suffered heavy internal bleeding, its a miracle that he survived."

Seir had not opened his eyes since he was injured and had his condition deteriorating severely, if Rue hadn't called for a doctor as soon as she arrived in the Sylvester mansion then he would have very less chance of survival.

"How much time would he take to recover?" The angel tried to stay calm and asked after a long silence.

"I have provided him the best meds as ordered princess and it would be atleast one month till he would be able to use his legs again." The doctor left the room soon after leaving two females siting beside one another and none able to speak as a man paid with his face pale.

A month

Rue closed her eyes and could not help but breathe shakily, a month away from her family. She had to escape with Sier and in no ways it was possible that she could leave alone.

She would be strong

She would not cry here

"Baby, don't worry I will take care of him well and your friend would be well very soon!" Almost trying to soothe her, the feminine voice of the woman sitting beside her called out and Rue looked into dark ceruleans that were very kind and sincere.

Beth Sylvester had married Henry when she was only seventeen, similar to how marriages in mafia empires were arranged her wedding too was a peace accord and did not bring any joy.

Furthermore the age old rivalry between Villars and Sylvesters was further fueled by her husband Henry and she lost her daughter, thus all these years she blamed him more than the enemies for the loss and could not live well.

Since now Rue has returned to the Sylvester mansion Beth was rejoiced but also could not help but worry that how her child has lived all these years, she did not wish to see her daughter sad.

"O-Okay." Rue looked at her birth mother and felt melancholic beyond what could be explained in words. She had always regarded Sylvesters as her enemies yet did not realize that even among those could be the people that were victims of one single tyrant.

"How have you been all these years?" trembling fingers held the petite female before blue eyes similar to Rue's teared up and clutched the fairy in her embrace.

"I have been very happy." The answer seemed to bring some complicated emotions on the face of her birth mother, if it was to be described as sadness then there was some unspoken mirth that her daughter was not ill treated and if it was to be said that she was happy then there were so many doubts thus when Rue did not speak anymore Beth only smiled and talked a little before suddenly leaving.

Rue sighed and stood up watching Seir for sometime before leaving to the room designated for her.

AppHenry true to his words had took her blood sample and testified that she was his daughter by the time they arrived in the mansion, after that she was given the best treatment by the servants and showered with precious gifts but she wasn't so blind as to not see the truth.

She was soon going to be sold in a marriage far away and that was what he was preparing for- a perfect princess that could fetch a high price.

As soon as the doors were shut. the dam of tears that was held for so long burst forth and Rue clutched her face sobbing while trying to control her voice as to not alert the servants nearby.

The blanket of night covered the entire realm of humans and Rue closed her weeping eyes reminiscing the broken look on the face of her father when she said bad words to him, how will her mother feel, how she even brought pain to her birth mother by never looking back seeing the pain she was in....and Kharsan.

What would he think of her?

"Rue" Strong masculine arms engulfed the dainty waist of the fairy that did not showed any resistance and turned around into the embrace of the man she thought she was imagining.

She jumped into his arms and cried with hiccups leaving her lips now and then.

She wished Kharsan was here.

"Don't cry baby" It was only when she was engulfed in such a tight embrace that was bound with the arms that were trembling with both wrath and fear did she realized it wasn't an illusion. The person infront of her was covered in hot red liquid tainting his arms and even printing it on her soft clothes.

Dark emerald irises set ablaze in horde of bloodlust were smoldering in so much rage that he wanted to kill every single thing that crossed his path in order to take her away. He himself had never dared to take possession of her from that beautiful heaven that Rue thought she lived in so how dare another snatch her away.

If she wanted to think her world was perfect then he must carve a perfect world for her and give it to her, how dare another show her such ugly reality.

"I am here to take you home baby." Kharsan extended his arms that were marred with blood and Rue at that moment realized something.

He is a crazed monster

The Villars feared Kharsan and often in hushed whispers said this and along with that maybe it was just 'that child' whom he would be gentle for.

She was that child.

And looking at him today she knew he was very dangerous.

He must have known the news of her going away and came on his own, what else could explain him crossing two continents in one night. To gather force to really start a war with Sylvesters would take atleast a week.

He must have refused to wait.

So he entered the lair of his archenemy who could very well capture him and bring his entire clan to their knees for her.

Before she could give him an answer the chamber doors opened softly after Beth hesitated and the tenderly voice called out to Rue.

"Baby please eat something-

Who....Who is this?"
