“HANSEL, I..”
Crystal took a deep breath before shaking her head. Hansel was suddenly nervous as he shook his head.
“Sweetheart don’t make me feel nervous. Will you marry me and be my wife?” Hansel said almost begging.
Tears welled up in Crystal’s eyes. If she said yes, Hansel will hate her. and if she said no, then Hansel will forget her and maybe even thank her.
“Sweetheart please answer.” Hansel said begging.
“Is it okay to be selfish?” The word escaped from Crystal’s mouth.
“I don’t know what your thinking but if being selfish is what makes you happy then be selfish as long as you don’t hurt other people’s feelings.” Hansel said nervously.
“But being selfish means you’re gonna suffer. I can’t take that!” Crystal said tearfully. she covered her mouth with her palms and continued crying.
Hansel smiled. “Don’t worry. If, me, suffering will make you say yes and be mine then, I’ll gladly take the pain. For you, I will.”
“Then, it’s a yes.” Crystal said with a sigh.
He closed his eyes and looked at the sky. It’s now or never.. crystal thought.
“Yes? You mean, you will be my wife?” Hansel said in disbelief.
Crystal nodded with a smile. “Yes.”
Hansel felt no joy at that time.
He put the ring on Crystal’s finger and hugged her.
“I’m the happiest man in the world. Thank you, Sweetheart.” This is a happy promise.
Crystal closed her eyes and let her tears fall.
I’m sorry.. I’m sorry..
Crystal shouted over and over in her mind.
“Look wife.” Said Hansel while pointing at the sky.
Crystal looked at it and just as she turned around, fireworks went off.
A beautiful scenery makes Crystal relief. Crystal frowned as she saw something form in the sky.
‘L’
‘V’
‘Y’
‘W’
‘S’
Crystal looked at Hansel and looked back at the sky.
‘I love you, sweetheart’
—–Your HUSBAND
Crystal unbelievably looked at Hansel who was smiling from ear to ear.
“I love you, sweetheart.” Hansel whispered to him.
“You did that for me?” Crystal asked in disbelief.
“I’ll do everything for my soon-to-be-wife.” Hansel promised with a smile.
“Thank you Hansel.” Crystal said and kissed Hansel on the lips.
It was supposed to be a peck only but Hansel encircled his arms in her waist and grabbed Crystal’s nape to deepen the kiss.
in no time, Crystal felt they disappeared for a while and the next thing she knew was that they were in their bed.
“I have a sweetheart?” Hansel said lovingly.
Crystal knew what he meant by those words and she’ll gladly give herself to him.
“Just be gentle hubby.” She said chuckling.
Hansel carries her to the bed. “I’m everything but gentle sweetheart. But for you and for our babies, I’ll be gentle.” Hansel winked at her.
Crystal laughed. “Oh I’m thrilled to feel that hubby.”
“So do I.” Hansel said and kissed her only.
This time, I’ll fight for him. I will tell everything to him. Because I love him. Please yourself, don’t lose yourself. Stay strong and fight.
Crystal thought. But all of it vanishes when Hansel takes her. Crystal embraces the pain and pleasure caused by it.
I’m sorry and I love you Hansel…
CRYSTAL woke up to the feeling that someone was kissing her.
He opened his eyes and saw Hansel smiling at him.
“Good Morning Wife! How’s your sleep?” This is a fun question.
Crystal tried to sit up only to wince in pain. Hansel worriedly helped her to sit.
“You okay wife?” Hansel asked worriedly.
Crystal wince. “It hurts.” He said with a snort.
Hansel smirked. “Yeah? I told ya’ Wife. I’m big.”
Crystal blushed at Hansel’s words. “S-shut up! Your mouth has no filter.”
Hansel laughs. “Don’t move yet Wife. I’ll go and bring you breakfast. Wait me here ok?” He said and helped her lie down. Hansel kissed Crystal on the forehead.
After Hansel left, Crystal’s eyes were full of tears.
“I’m sorry Hansel. I’m sorry.” Crystal whispered softly to herself.
crystal carefully sit. “Heal.” She said.
The healing spell she used only reduced the pain she felt. She doesn’t want to fully erase the pain in her entrance because she wants to feel the thing she shared together with Hansel last night.
Crystal looked at the window and smiled. “I don’t know when will this end but I’ll fight. I didn’t become a creator just for nothing.”
After Handel left the room, he hid his presence. He leaned on the door and closed his eyes.
“I’m sorry Hansel. I’m sorry.”
He heard Crystal say inside. He clenched his fist and walked towards the kitchen without his own.
He knew it. He knew that Crystal was suffering. Although he didn’t know why.
He wishes Crystal could lean on him more. He’s angry. Not on Crystal but to himself. how could he turn blind on what’s happening around him when his wife is suffering?
When he got to the kitchen, he found Gelvion preparing food.
While Flear was seriously drinking alcohol on one side.
“It’s too early to drink Flear.” He said.
Flear looked at him but he didn’t smile like he always did.
“What’s your problem?” Hansel asked and told him.
“I don’t have a problem but you do.”
“What do you mean?” Hansel asked.
This time, Gelvion is the one who talked.
“I know you’re not dumb not to notice what the problem is, King.” He said it seriously.
“I’m gonna tell you a story about how a cursed little girl managed to survive in this cruel world. Do you want to know?” Flear promised.
Hansel nodded. He knows who this ‘little girl’ is referring to.
“Once upon a time, a woman fell in love with the blood lord. But because of her forbidden love, they decided to keep it as a secret.” Flear poured a glass of wine and drank it before speaking again.
“Their love created a child. a child that they thought was a cursed because of it’s omnipotence.”
“When the child was born, the woman became furious. So furious that she abandoned her own child.”
Hansel swallowed at what he heard. Crystal got abandoned?
“The cursed child, then, smiled at her mother, accepting the fact that her own mother abandoned her. So, the little girl came to her father.”
“Unlike her mother, her father accepted her and loved her. He gave her foods, clothes, and a home. He took care of her.”
Flear stood up and walked towards the glass window. “The little girl wondered around and soon, she found a brother.”
“A present.” Flear paused for a moment before looking at him. “The little girl’s mother gave a gift to someone but it turns out that ‘that’ someone is also powerful enough to receive a gift. So, the little girl’s mother became angry and turned a gift into cursed.”
Suddenly, Hansel’s chest heaved at what he heard. Is it possible?
“A cursed to have a hybrid’s cells.” Flear continued.
HANSEL felt he was deaf to what Flear said. It’s impossible.
Only one person has a cursed of it. Of having hybrid’s cells.
And that’s him.
“What are you talking about? W-what t-the..” Hansel said confused.
“Can you love the son of a god…. that cursed you?” Flear asked seriously.
So that’s it! That’s why Crystal is crying. That’s what’s bothering his wife. But the question is… Can he accept that? Can he still love the person whose mother is a greedy-kind-woman?
thinking that, of course he already knew the answer..
******
Hansel brought a tray full of food and opened the door.
He saw Crystal sitting up and looking at the window.
“Wife? Why are you up?” Hansel asked worriedly.
he uses levitation on the tray to place it in the table and walk towards Crystal.
“Wife? You ok? Does it still hurt?” He asked. “If it isn’t, can we escape breakfast and I’ll eat you instead?” He said it was silly.
But still.. Crystal doesn’t even bulge nor smile. She was stoic.
“Wife? you’re worrying me Are you ok?”
Finally, Crystal looked at him. But his relief vanished when he saw Crystal’s eyes. It’s cold and emotionless.
It scares him. What if Crystal leaves him?
“Wife?”
Crystal let out a loud breath. “Our engagement… is canceled.”
No!
Crystal was about to remove the ring from her hand when Hansel suddenly grabbed her hand.
“No! Damn! Wife.. Sweetheart please. No.” Hansel said, begging.
Hansel hugged her and continued whispering to her ear. “No. Please don’t wife. No. No. Please sweetheart.”
“Listen Hansel..” Hansel cut her off.
“I said no!” Hansel shouted. Hansel looked at him and there were tears in his eyes.
The Demon Vampire is Crying.
“List—-”
“Forehead—-” *SLAP*
“Eh, if you finish me first? You’ve been saying ‘no’ to ‘no’ there. if you had made me finish first, we would have finished a long time ago. It’s a waste of your tears, dre!” Crystal said sarcastically.
“Huh?”
“What huh? That’s what happens to vampires who don’t finish the line of their husbands. It’s up to you to leave.” Crystal annoyingly said.
“But you said you will gonna cancel our engagement and you’re taking off our engagement ring already.”
“That’s because… It’s even tighter!” Crystal said sarcastically.
“B-but..”
Crystal make a face. “I’m gonna cancel our engagement TEMPORARILY.” said emphasizing the word temporarily.
“What the hell? But you’re taking off our engagement ring.”
“Don’t lose me-what the hell you vampire! I won’t take it off. What I want to say is, cancel our engagement first BUT the ring is mine first so I have inspiration.” Crystal struggled.
Hansel stared at him. “Why are you so moody today?” Voluntarily came out of his mouth.
Crystal grimace. “You fool! You look like a vampire! Let’s break!” Crystal shouted as she slammed the door shut.
Hansel was left still stunned and beside himself. “Wait– what?! Noo!!!” he said as his soul returned to his body.
May you rest in peace Elucifer Vlade Hansel Warrior..
loving,
Sofia the first..
POKER FACE Gelvion looked at Hansel who had been teasing Crystal all day. Actually, he’s not really teasing, he’s pestering Crystal.
“Wife! you’re not breaking up with me right?” said Hansel with puppy eyes.
Flear moved a little closer to Gelvion and whispered. “gross”
“I agree with you. Isn’t he rowing? Brrr.” Gelvion promised.
“Wifeee! You love me right? You can’t leave me right?” The two giggled at the sight. Hansel looks like he’s about to cry.
Seriously? A demon Vampire King was about to cry?
Nevertheless, they pity Crystal for tolerating Hansel’s behavior.
“Can I have a biscuit? Shut up because I’m thinking!” Crystal shouted.
“Pfft. HAHAHAHAHAHA”
“BISCUIT? SERIOUSLY? HAHAHAHA”
Crystal gave them a bad look so they kept quiet but they couldn’t help but laugh.
Hansel stopped nagging her and sat next to Crystal like a meek sheep.
Hansel grabbed Crystal and when he did that, in less than a second they were in another place.
A peaceful scenery full of flowers and trees. They sat under a tree and looked at the beautiful scenery.
“Hansel..” he looked at Crystal.
“C-can you wait for our baby?” he asked which confused Hansel’s mind.
“What do you mean wife?” Hansel asked confused.
“I will talk to my mother. There’s a time gap between Vampire realm and Deity realm.” Crystal said with a smile. “Before I go there, I will give birth to our babies. But,” Crystal paused.
“But what?”
“–but our babies must be frozen.”
Hansel stilled. “WHAT?! F-frozen? Why?”
“You see, if a war suddenly came, who will protect them? They’re still a child and even if they have your blood, a child is still a child.” Crystal explained.
“You are selfish.” spontaneously came out of Hansel’s mouth.
When he realized what was said, his expression suddenly softened and he looked at Crystal.
“I-i’m sor—”
“Yeah.. I’m selfish.. Really really selfish..” Crystal said.
“N-no! It’s not what I mean.” Hansel shook his head.
“Anyway,” Crystal stood up. “I gotta go. Hate me if you want. I don’t care.” And disappeared.
Crystal smiled bitterly. “No. Please don’t hate me Hansel.” He whispered in the wind.
When he arrived in the Vampire realm, his stomach immediately hurt.
“A-ah! O-ouch! K-Brother!!” He said loudly.
He held his stomach when it suddenly hurt. He felt as if he was burning with pain.
“Brother!!” He screamed.
Suddenly, Gelvion came out of the door and looked at him with a big smile.
“Oh shit! Hold on li’l sis. FLEAR!” shouted Gelvion.
“Why?” asked Flear who had just entered the house. “Damn! I can’t find li’l si— shit!” Flear stopped speaking when he saw Crystal writhing in pain.
“What happened?” Flear asked worriedly.
“She was about to give birth.” Gelvion’s language.
“Let’s go to the hospital.” Flear said as he nuzzled Gelvion’s neck.
“Olol! What hospital? Does it look like there is a hospital here?” Gelvion shouted.
“AAAHHHHHHHHHHH” Crystal shouted.
Gelvion picked her up and teleported to the old woman she knew.
“She’s about to give birth.” Flear said to the old man.
“Lay it down here.” It points to a soft bed.
They slowly supported Crystal and looked at the old man. “It is now your responsibility to take care of him.” The two said and left.
They returned to Hansel’s mansion and found him destroying things.
“What the hell are you doing king?” shouted Gelvion.
Hansel looked at them and gave them a bad look. “WHERE’S MY WIFE? TELL ME WHERE IS SHE!” he shouted and kicked the sofa.
“Calm down. She’s giving birth to your child.” Flear said making Hansel stop.
Hansel suddenly turned pale. “W-what? W-where?” he said nervously.
“She’s in the fortune teller’s house–”
Gelvion could not continue what he had to say because Hansel suddenly disappeared in front of them.
To be continued…
