Ch. 71..75: The Vampire Prince's Blindfolded Bride Chapter 71-75

Chapter 71: Use your eyes and burn him

As Magnus and Izaak strode into the hall, they were met by Harris, who wasted no time in offering his apologies. "Your Highness, I was unaware that one day Princess Alora would be wedded to you. In my misguided attempt to protect all of us, I ordered the attack on the caravan."

Magnus’s hand shot out, seizing Harris by the throat, his thumb applying pressure to his neck. "So, you admit your wrongdoing. How dare you violate the sanctity of my territory by sending a werewolf? You have flagrantly disregarded the rules, Harris," he snarled, his eyes ablaze with a fiery red hue, and his fangs bared in a menacing display.

"Prince Magnus, I beg for your mercy," Harris pleaded. As he spoke, the veins on his pale skin became visible. He reached out his hand and also managed to grasp Magnus’s wrist. However, Magnus’s strength proved overwhelming against his feeble resistance.

"Magnus, you promised Alora you would take a wise decision," Izaak intervened and pulled back Magnus’s hand. He stood between them, and placed his hands on Magnus’s shoulders to calm him down.

Harris, on the other hand, panted while keeping his hand on his throat. He had heard of Magnus’s aggression, and now, he finally witnessed it.

"Princess Alora was unharmed that day, Your Highness. We are vampires. We cannot fight because of a human," Harris said as he tried reminding Magnus that he couldn’t take the life of a noble vampire just because of a human.

Izaak turned to gaze at him, gesturing to Harris to stay quiet.

"Harris, don’t push me to rip your heart off your chest," Magnus said as he pushed away Izaak. "You sent a rogue werewolf to attack the humans. Do you think the peace is maintained among us species because of our authority and strength over them?" he questioned him.

Harris lowered his eyes and gulped in fear.

"Your one action made me doubt the werewolves. You know well how the territories are marked between vampires and werewolves. If this matter goes out, what do you think will happen?" Magnus demanded answers from him.

"Forgive me, Your Highness. I acted naively," Harris apologized once again.

"You will be punished for what you have done. Your explanation doesn’t satisfy me either," Magnus announced his decision and went to the sofa. He sat on it while Izaak wondered what Magnus would do.

"You won’t be given any blood for two weeks," Magnus announced the punishment and glanced at Tobias. "Lock him in the dungeon and tell his father about the wrongdoing of his son," he instructed.

"I will die with no blood," Harris said in desperation, "your highness."

"Then, bring those humans back from the dead. You can’t do that, can you?" Magnus glared at him. "Try surviving. You made the mistake of playing with me," he stated.

Harris gazed at Izaak asking him for help.

"This is the best punishment I have given you, Harris. Brother Izaak asked me not to kill you and that is what I have done," Magnus pronounced.

Tobias acted on the command and Harris was taken away.

Izaak pivoted on the heels of his long boots. "Father will summon you soon because Harris’s father will not let his son stay in the dungeon," he asserted.

"I scared Harris. I will keep him there for 2-3 days. He should feel the pain of dying," Magnus opined. "Also, since when Brother Izaak started showing sympathy for the others?"

Izaak rolled his eyes. "I am trying to maintain the peace," he corrected Magnus and took a seat across from him. "Why is Venus here? She was on her knees."

"She needs help from Alora," Magnus replied. "Eugene has a mate whom he will keep as a mistress while Venus will stay as his wife in the name only. However, I doubt her intentions," he briefed Magnus.

"Didn’t you read her mind?" Izaak questioned him.

"I did," Magnus replied.

"You are not interested in helping her, but Alora will somehow convince you to help Venus," Izaak said with a chuckle. "Alora controls you well," he muttered.

"I won’t agree this time," Magnus stated.

"We will see soon," said Izaak with a smirk.

~~~~~

"Did you arrive here without informing your in-laws?" Alora queried.

"Yes, I did. I have no desire to return to that place. Eugene frightens me. I had no idea werewolf aggression could be so intense," Venus admitted, recalling the harrowing experience of Eugene’s attempt to dominate her. Despite not being his mate, he had marked her and coerced her to remain under his compelling influence.

"Prince Magnus is a vampire and except for him, no one can fight Eugene. That’s why I have come to you instead of going home. Alora, I gave you so much pain. Now, I realize what it feels like to be neglected." Tears trickled down Venus’s cheeks.

"Venus, don’t cry," Alora urged her. This was the fourth time she wept since the time they had been talking to each other.

"Alora, what if Prince Magnus refuses to help me? I will end my life then. I cannot live with Eugene," Venus murmured as her body trembled in fear.

"Don’t say that, Venus. If not, Prince Magnus, then I will ask Brother Izaak and Brother Alaric for help," Alora asserted. She didn’t wish to upset Magnus, so she decided taking help from the other princes would not anger Magnus.

"I wonder if they will help me or not. My in-laws have already started blaming me. If the news leaks out, Father will be humiliated for no reason. And Mother will be upset too. I have never imagined my life would take such a bad turn. Alora, I am scared of everything now," Venus said, shedding more tears.

"Nothing will happen, Venus. Trust me. I will do everything to save you from Eugene," Alora said sternly this time. Venus sniffled as she stopped weeping. She truly wanted to believe Alora, but a strange fear had engulfed her.

Eugene Alpha’s form was dangerous. He had even killed many werewolves to become the supreme alpha of his pack. "Alora, why don’t you use your eyes and burn him?" Venus suggested to her.

"I can’t do that, Venus," Alora refused to do so.

"Why? Your eyes are to burn such men. Just burn all of them," Venus stated. "I must have lost my mind to say such nonsense. Please forgive me," she murmured and wiped the tears from her cheeks with her trembling hands.

Selvina decided to inform Magnus about it and silently left the room.

Chapter 72: To take my wife back

"But I’m your sister, Alora. I need your help. What if the vampire princes refuse to help me? Will you neglect me then?" Venus quizzically glanced at her.

"Absolutely not," Alora promptly answered. She couldn’t use the powers of her eyes on a werewolf given the fact that Eugene belonged to a renowned family.

"He betrayed me, Alora. Can’t you give me justice? Your eyes are special to give lessons to such people. You want to see me live as a second woman to Eugene, a neglected wife!?" She questioned Alora.

"We will find a solution, Venus, which will be much more peaceful," she pronounced.

"Alora, what about the pain he gave me? He deserves to die," Venus said as she clutched the fabric of her gown.

"Venus, stop manipulating the thoughts of my wife," Magnus’s voice echoed in the room as he entered in and glanced at Alora. "Why didn’t you ask Venus to leave? Don’t you love me?" he queried.

"Your Highness, please hear out Venus once. I love you both. I cannot neglect the miseries of my sister. That’s why I didn’t ask her to leave. Eugene has a mate, and he wants to keep her as a mistress," Alora said as she rose to her feet. Venus too had stood up and gazed at Izaak, standing beside Magnus.

"Sister-in-law, that’s the matter between Venus and Eugene. You cannot involve yourself in such a matter," Izaak advised her. "Moreover, you did warn your sister before the marriage. So, nothing can be done now from our side," he clarified to her.

Magnus agreed with Izaak’s words and asked Venus to talk with her father, instead of involving Alora. "Also, you cannot ask her to burn any person. Her eyes aren’t to play," he sternly told Venus.

Venus lowered her eyes as she felt miserable.

Alora slowly walked toward Magnus when he himself approached her. Holding her arms, he asked, "Shall we go in?"

"No. Please help my sister," Alora requested. "Her in-laws have already started defaming her, hiding the fact that what his son is doing with my sister is wrong." She tilted her head in Izaak’s direction from where she earlier heard his voice. "Brother Izaak, could you please help Venus? Is Brother Izaak, not my friend?"

"I don’t involve myself in such matters, Alora," Izaak refused to aid Venus.

"Then, I will go to Brother Alaric for the help," Alora murmured.

Seeing how his wife suddenly turned upset, Magnus spoke up, "Do you wish to take divorce, Venus?"

Izaak chuckled since his brother truly fell weak in front of Alora’s requests.

"I want Eugene to die. He betrayed me," Venus replied.

Both the princes gazed at her with arched brows. "Then, do that yourself. We don’t want to impact the peace between the werewolves and the vampires," Magnus clarified to her.

"Divorce is a good option, Venus," Alora said.

"Alora, he has marked me. He will make me submit to him and compel me not to divorce him," Venus asserted.

"Why didn’t you transform into a werewolf then? You are already bitten," Magnus asked with a dubious gaze.

"Perhaps it wasn’t a bite to transform, Brother," Izaak replied. "Eugene must have marked her only to keep her submitted. I wonder why he didn’t marry his mate," he remarked.

"Because she belongs to a family of low status. Eugene wants to keep me by his side since I’m from a well-known family of nobles. I regret my decision for not listening to Alora that day. Please save me from this marriage. I don’t want to live with him anymore," Venus requested them as she joined her hands.

Izaak and Magnus glanced at each other. "I will look into it, Magnus. What do you say?"

Alora smiled to hear that. "Please do, Brother Izaak. I’ll be forever grateful to you," she said.

"Alright. As Brother Izaak feels is right," Magnus agreed with his decision.

Venus thanked the two princes and Alora for helping her.

"You need to inform your parents first," Izaak told her.

"I will, Your Highness," Venus said.

"Then, you shall head to your parent’s home from here," Izaak told her. "I cannot accompany a married woman," he clarified to her.

"We’ll accompany Venus to the carriage," Alora suggested, nudging Magnus’s arm with her elbow.

As they escorted Venus to the carriage, Magnus turned to Izaak and inquired if he truly wished to assist Venus.

"I need to understand what type of werewolves they are. Plus, your wife seems to have a way of winning people over. For some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to upset her either. Alora does possess a certain charm," Izaak remarked, locking eyes with Magnus.

"That’s why I couldn’t either stop myself from agreeing to her request," Magnus whispered. He looked at Alora, who had embraced. She seemed happy as if she found her lost sibling. Was it this easy to win Alora’s heart? She possessed no ill feelings toward Venus despite how her younger sister treated her. It always bothered him why Alora was so gracious and compassionate.

Venus withdrew from the hug. "Thank you, Alora. I won’t ever forget what you’ve done for me," she said.

"Don’t say that. You’re my sister. I’m grateful that I can finally be of use to you as a sister," Alora declared warmly.

"Forgive me, Alora, for always causing you pain," Venus’s eyes welled up with tears as she remembered her past behavior towards her elder sister. "I’ve never been a good sister to you. But I’ll make an effort to change from now on," she vowed earnestly.

"Really?" Alora’s heart swelled with joy at the prospect of their reconciliation.

"So, you are here!?" Eugene’s voice fell into their ears. "How long will you keep doing this, Venus? You again made me leave my work in the middle to search for you." His tone didn’t look gentle at all as his eyes gleamed yellow.

Eugene then glared at the two princes. "Greetings to Your Highnesses. I am here to take my wife back," he said.

"Eugene, you betrayed my sister," Alora said as she stepped up. "Give her divorce," she pronounced.

Chapter 73: I’ll reduce you to ashes, alive

"Princess Alora, please stay away from a couple’s matter," said Eugene.

Alora brought her hands to the back of her head to open her blindfold. Magnus didn’t stop her, however, Izaak told him to ask Alora not to do so.

"It is her first time speaking up. Let her handle it," Magnus whispered close to Izaak’s ear.

Eugene had to lower his gaze as Alora’s eyes were naked. "This matter is no longer private, Eugene. Venus will not stay with you from now onward. You are free to live with your mate, who is also your mistress," Alora’s voice was tinged with a taunt.

Eugene turned his gaze at Magnus. "I urge Prince Magnus to ask his wife to not intervene in my affair with Venus."

"I cannot. Your bad deeds are revealed. Why keep Venus alongside you when you can have your fated mate? Free Venus from such a marriage," Magnus advised him.

Eugene chuckled, disregarding the advice, and beckoned, "Venus, step forward." Venus swiftly sought refuge behind Alora, her head drooping in fear. Eugene got irritated with her reaction and he decided to use the mind-linkage on her.

"[Come forth, Venus!]" His wolf conveyed directly to Venus through their mental connection.

Venus couldn’t resist the alpha’s command and reluctantly moved forward. Alora gripped her hand tightly, puzzled by her sister’s behavior. Despite Venus’s inner resistance, her body seemed compelled to obey Eugene’s directive.

"Venus, please stop!" Alora pleaded, but Venus responded,

"I cannot," her steps inexorably drawing her closer to Eugene.

"Don’t test me, Eugene," Alora declared, her voice laced with menace, "or I’ll reduce you to ashes, alive." Her eyes blazed with a brilliant blue light, stunning Magnus and Izaak. They had always known her as a kind and gentle soul, but now they witnessed a formidable power emanating from her.

Eugene swallowed hard, realizing the gravity of the situation, and swiftly disconnected the mind linkage. He was well aware of the power behind Alora’s intense gaze and didn’t dare to challenge it, knowing his life hung in the balance.

"Remove the mark from my sister’s neck," Alora demanded, her voice dripping with menace, "or I’ll be forced to take actions I’ve never considered before." Recalling Venus’s earlier say to take her own life if Eugene would not free her, Alora’s fear had transformed into determination to save her younger sister. It prompted her to resort to her existing power to confront Eugene.

"I never knew Alora could give threats too," Izaak murmured.

Magnus smiled as he was proud of Alora. She finally learned how to make people bow in from of her.

Eugene clenched his fists as he found himself in a tough spot. He thought Venus would not defy him after how he yesterday confronted her. But his attempts were futile.

"Eugene, if you don’t have to say anything, then you should leave. Werewolves are not allowed to come here. You have to divorce Venus since she doesn’t want to live as your wife," Magnus said in a cold tone. For Alora, he decided to speak or else, he had no interest in protecting Venus.

"And remove that mark from Venus now," Alora sternly said.

"Reject her," Magnus commanded Eugene.

"I reject you, Venus Wilson. Accept my rejection," said Eugene as she peered at Venus with an annoying look.

"I accept your rejection, Eugene Sinclair!" Venus pronounced. The mark shone on her neck and it disappeared instantly.

Eugene’s silence spoke volumes as he departed, leaving a tense atmosphere in his wake. Alora exchanged a knowing glance with Magnus, her brows furrowing slightly in concern.

"I’ll escort Venus home," Alora declared, her voice softer now as she lowered her gaze.

"I’ll accompany your sister. You stay here," Izaak offered, gesturing for Venus to enter the carriage. Grateful for Alora’s intervention, Venus thanked her profusely before stepping into the carriage with Izaak.

As they rode away in the carriage, Magnus placed a comforting hand on Alora’s shoulder, their eyes locking in a moment of understanding. "You were truly impressive back there," he praised while offering her a reassuring smile.

Alora sighed, feeling conflicted. "I didn’t want to resort to such harsh remarks with Eugene. But I had to protect Venus," she confessed, her tone heavy with regret.

"You shouldn’t blame yourself for doing what was necessary," Magnus reassured her gently. "Your actions were justified. Seeing this assertive side of you filled my heart with joy," he added, emphasizing his support for her.

"Shall we go in?" Magnus asked her.

"Hmm." She nodded at him. "Thank you for demanding rejection from Eugene for Venus. I am shocked to know that werewolves can actually compel their wives," Alora stated.

"They are granted such a power from the Moon Goddess," Magnus said.

"Then, it’s bad," Alora opined. "They make their wives submit," she mumbled.

"Alora, why don’t we test your eyes?" Magnus suddenly suggested to her, which she hadn’t anticipated. Her feet slowly came to a halt, and so were his.

"What do you mean?" Alora inquired, puzzled by Magnus’s statement.

"We need to determine if your ability to incinerate others works for everyone or if it targets only those with ill intentions towards you," Magnus clarified, outlining their need for clarity.

"I’m not sure I’m prepared to conduct such a test," Alora admitted truthfully, her reluctance evident.

Magnus nodded understandingly, knowing Alora’s compassionate nature. Unlike himself, she harbored a deep sense of empathy and would struggle with the guilt of taking a life, even if it were justified.

"Your Highness, tonight is the blood moon. Do you think Eugene can harm my sister? Could you please ask any of your men to be around my house? I don’t trust Eugene and I cannot lose my sister," Alora made a request to him.

Magnus agreed after giving it a thought. "I will ask Gabriel and Odin to be present there." Those were old vampires and their ability to keep this blood thirst in control was strong.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Don’t be. I can do anything for you. You know well that you are my weakness," Magnus stated.

"Weakness not a strength?" Alora arched her eyebrows.

"Correction. You are both," Magnus said and pecked her lips, making her blush with a smile.

Chapter 74: Can never be mine

"Your Highness, I appreciate you accompanying me home," Venus began the conversation. "I hope I haven’t caused you trouble," she added softly, briefly lowering her gaze.

"I did it because my sister-in-law, Alora, would be upset. I can’t bear to see her distressed," Izaak explained to her.

Venus lifted her head to meet his gaze. "Alora has impressed everyone in the palace, won everyone’s heart there," she said, "while I couldn’t do well in my marriage."

"It was you, who on your wedding day refused to listen to Alora’s advice," Izaak remarked, his tone tinged with a hint of taunt. "You believed that if your older sister married a supernatural being, you should do the same. You are the reason for your own downfall."

"I regret that decision, Your Highness," Venus admitted softly, her voice filled with remorse.

"Do you truly regret it? I have my doubts. In fact, both Magnus and I suspect that you are quite skilled at acting. Who’s to say you don’t still harbor intentions to harm Alora through your dangerous schemes?" Izaak’s harsh words pierced Venus’s heart, bringing tears to her eyes.

"I admit that what I did to my elder sister was wrong. I’ve always resented her for not getting anything in my life. While she obtained the best, I ended up with the worst," Venus confessed.

Izaak chuckled at her response. "Why does it seem like you’re still jealous of Alora?" he questioned, his gaze penetrating.

Venus met his intense stare but remained silent.

"You ended up with the worst because you never wished for anything good for Alora. You should have at least supported her when everyone else tried to make her feel low," Izaak asserted, unmoved by whether Venus felt pleased or hurt by his words. He believed that since Alora couldn’t receive the support she deserved, he should provide it in her stead.

The carriage came to a halt as they finally were in the Wilson Family home. The coachman opened the door for them. Izaak stepped out first, followed by Venus.

"You should explain to your family what happened earlier. Present the right facts if you wish to live a better life," Izaak asserted and he turned to get back into the carriage.

"Your Highness, will you not come inside?" Venus asked.

"What will I do among the humans?" Izaak tilted his head over his shoulder. "My work was to drop you home safely," he stated and entered the coach.

Venus watched as the carriage departed. She then made her way inside the house with a heavy heart, thinking how she would tell her parents.

In the grand living room, Madam Aubrey was busy instructing the servants about the placement of the new furniture when her gaze fell upon Venus standing at the door.

"Venus!" Madam Aubrey exclaimed in shock, noticing her granddaughter’s distressed appearance.

Venus rushed into Madam Aubrey’s arms, embracing her tightly as tears streamed down her face. The sudden outburst startled everyone in the room.

"Oh, my dear child, what’s wrong?" Madam Aubrey asked, gently stroking Venus’s back in an attempt to comfort her. "Why are you crying so much?" she inquired, feeling perplexed by her granddaughter’s distress.

Rhea entered through the door leading to the residence garden, noticing the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Venus, why are you crying?" Rhea became wary of her daughter’s condition. She was quick to approach Venus.

Venus let go of her grandmother and embraced her mother. "Eugene... He... I left his house," she finally said while stuttering.

Madam Aubrey’s hand flew to her head in shock upon hearing Venus’s words as it started spinning. A maid quickly rushed to her side, offering support and guiding her to sit on the couch.

Meanwhile, Rhea gently cupped her daughter’s tear-stained face, urging her to calm down. She tenderly wiped away Venus’s tears as she continued to sob.

"Venus, did you truly leave your husband? What happened?" Madam Aubrey inquired, her voice tinged with concern and fear.

"Mother, let Venus be calm first," Rhea requested. She took her daughter to the other side of the couch and made her sit on it. "Give me water," she asked a maid.

Handing a glass of water to Venus, Rhea stroked her hair as she asked for her drink. Venus took a few sips before handing the glass back to her mother.

"Venus, did something happen again? A Husband and wife fight, but that doesn’t mean you have to leave the house or your husband," Madam Aubrey asserted.

"Eugene lied to me. He betrayed me, Grandma," Venus said as more tears escaped her eyes.

Madam Aubrey and Rhea were shocked to hear her. "What did Eugene do?" Rhea asked this time.

"Eugene is a werewolf," Venus revealed to them, causing their eyes to grow big.

"Werewolf?" Madam Aubrey was shocked by such a revelation.

"Yes. Eugene has a mate, who doesn’t belong to a high-ranking family like ours. That’s why his entire family hid the truth about this from us and let me marry him," Venus paused as her voice choked and more tears trailed down her cheeks.

"Mother, Grandma,..." She sniffled after taking a long breath, "Eugene wants to keep his mate as his mistress and will not even look at me. He even compelled me by marking me. Alora and Prince Magnus warned me on the marriage day about Eugene’s identity, but I asked Alora not to ruin my wedding day. I was so foolish."

Venus again began to weep, her cries reverberated in the entire living room.

Rhea, too, cried seeing her daughter in such a state while Madam Aubrey felt uneasiness in her chest.

"I went to Alora to ask for her help," Venus wiped the tears from her cheeks as she informed the two of them. "I feared that I would not be able to get off Eugene’s claws without her help," she stated.

"What did Alora do to help you?" Madam Aubrey asked.

"Eugene’s mark on me no longer exists. I am free of him and I will divorce him. I cannot live with a man, who can never be mine," Venus announced her decision to them.

 

Chapter 75: Alora, jealousy is bigger than love

Venus finally calmed down as she apologized to both her mother and grandmother for making such a decision. "Alora was of great help. I never thought the sister whom I always cursed would stand one day to protect me," she said in a low voice. Her heart was heavy with the overwhelming emotions that she gathered in her heart all this time.

"We cannot let her stay in such a marriage any more then," Madam Aubrey said. "Lying to us about their werewolf identities is their biggest mistake. And why did Alora not tell us about it that very day? At least, you would be unmarried than a divorced woman."

It was a clear taunt from the old woman to her granddaughter.

"Grandma, I thought I would die in that marriage. That’s why I decided to make such a decision," Venus said while keeping her gaze low. "Alora did warn me, but I was jealous of her, Grandma. She got Prince Magnus as her husband, so I thought it would not be a problem if my husband is a werewolf."

She had always blamed Alora for her fate. But this time, it was she, who refused to listen to Alora, who merely wanted to help her as an elder sister. Tears dropped down her eyes and fell on her cheeks.

Madam’s Aubrey heart broke to see her granddaughter’s state. She never anticipated that Alora would be useful to them and help Venus get freed from Venus.

Rhea gazed at her mother-in-law because in her eyes Madam Aubrey was the reason why Venus began despising Alora. As a mother, Rhea was truly heartbroken to see that her second daughter’s marriage failed.

"Venus, I’m glad you took the right decision and left Eugene. As long as we all are alive, you don’t need to feel burdened. Once your father returns, I will talk to him about a formal divorce procedure for you and Eugene," Rhea proclaimed while keeping her hand on Venus’s shoulder.

"Thank you, Mother, for understanding me," Venus said and told them she would like to rest. "I couldn’t sleep the entire night, Mother," she murmured.

"Come, I’ll take you to the room. I will put you down to sleep," Rhea opined and helped her daughter stand up. Madam Aubrey told Venus not to be worried anymore. They would protect her at all costs. Once the mother and daughter duo left, Madam Aubrey glanced at her attendant.

"Tell Norman and Elliot to return early today," she instructed.

The attendant bowed to her and left for the administration center in the market center.

"These werewolves need to be shown their places," Madam Aubrey murmured.

~~~~~

Alora thanked Izaak for safely escorting her sister to the Wilson Residence.

"Reward your friend," Izaak demanded.

Magnus sharply glared at him but chose to remain silent.

"Umm... I have nothing to give to Brother Izaak. He cannot eat the food the humans eat, else I had cooked something delicious for him," Alora stated.

"Why don’t you reward me with your eyes? I have someone to threaten for a long time," Izaak proclaimed.

Magnus chuckled as his elder brother finally showed his real face to Alora. Izaak never believed in doing anything for free. He would always find his gain first before giving out any kind of help.

"Isn’t Brother Izaak hold the highest rank after the King? Why does he need me to threaten someone?" Alora inquired with curiosity.

"Nice question, Alora," Izaak stated. "I cannot tell you unless you agree to help me," he clarified.

"I will think about it and give my reply to Brother Izaak tomorrow. Is that okay?" Alora asked in her humble tone.

"You can take your time, Sister-in-law," Izaak said and smiled.

"Don’t let Alora get involved in your personal grudges," Magnus warned him.

"I won’t do that. Alora, your sister is clever. I think you need to be careful of her in the future," Izaak suddenly said to her.

Alora was bewildered to hear that. "Why did Brother Izaak say that?"

"He can see the future of a person. Perhaps, he has seen something about your sister," Magnus answered before Izaak could speak.

"Future can change too," Alora affirmed.

"But what I see never goes wrong. Your sister wants to be like you. She will be a threat to you in the future. So, be careful of her. You are a gentle and compassionate woman. It is easy for anyone to take advantage of you by saying a few good things to you," Izaak explained as this was a major trait that he noticed in her.

"I agree with my brother. Venus might act good now, but she does harbor resentment toward you. The reason is in front of you," Magnus pronounced. He wanted Alora to stop being good to everyone.

Alora lowered her head and wondered if Venus would actually do that. "The future is unknown to everyone. I believe if I give love, it may return to me. Many did say wrong things about Prince Magnus too. But only I know how kind he is from his heart. The same goes with Brother Izaak. Every being does have a light in them," she asserted.

Magnus and Izaak exchanged glances with each other.

"Alora, don’t be foolish. Love doesn’t always return. I found you interesting, and I knew I would love to spend my life with you. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll be kind to everyone all the time. For you, I can be, but only for a limit," Magnus stated.

"Alora, jealousy is bigger than love. It destroys everything. So, keep in mind not to believe in Venus for a long time. Since you are soft at heart, I decided to tell you a little insight about the future," Izaak proclaimed as his expression turned into a serious one.

Magnus decided to keep Venus away from Alora. Now, that she was free from the marriage, Venus would do everything to come close to Alora.

"What if the future changes?" Alora asked.

"It may depend on the actions, but I doubt your sister is willing to do good deeds," Magnus remarked harshly. "Well, let’s not talk anymore about her. I feel thirsty," he said and rose to his feet.

Magnus called in Selvina and asked her to take Alora to the chamber.
