Marriage Of Benefits - Chapter 380

Rachel looked at him and realized that she had missed the important part of the conversation so she said smacking her forehead “Oh! I forgot to tell you the most important thing that he is the new leader of the evil witches and his powers are way too strong.”

Rafel was shocked and rendered speechless and for Rachel to say that he was too strong, Rafel wondered if such a person existed, now that he was hearing it he was utterly shaken, moreover she was right no one was going to accept this relationship easily. She had to win the trust of her people first but she had yet to do that, he couldn’t find Rachel’s thoughts out of line at all.

When he didn’t speak for a while Rachel met his gaze as she spoke “Now you find my worries reasonable, don’t you?”

Rafel said after a while “You are not wrong but when you said that he was Jessica’s brother I didn’t think of this possibility. Right now I too feel that there is a story that is being hidden from you because both these witches are the good ones, they would not do anything out of line. They are doing something good but can’t tell you the reason for your benefit, what I think is that they too must have thought of these things but if they still want you to be married to the the leader of the evil witches there is something that they need to explain.”

Rachel was silent for a while before she looked at Rafel with bright eyes and said “I have a plan, they are trying to protect me by not telling me the reasons but you can ask them what is going on in their mind and then you can decide whether it is right to tell me or not, if it is not you can atleast tell me the right thing to do viewing it from my perspective.”

Rafel nodded his head and said “I will meet with her and ask her but the problem is she will not understand me so just write it for me so that I can ask her.”

Rachel nodded and asked him what to write, he thought for a while and then said “Write, I talked to the queen today and she told me everything about your brother but what I can see is that her worries are true too. I have come to you because I feel like you are hiding something that you don’t want the queen to know, she is aware of this fact and you know very well that if she wants she can get the truth out of you. She trusts you that is why she is refraining from doing that but I want to know the truth because I can’t trust you as much as the queen does and as this concerns the queen, I have to intervene in this asmi am responsible for her safety.”

Rachel looked at her and asked “Do you really expect me to write that?”

Rafel looked at her smiling face and rolled his eyes “Forget it, I will take help of my magic.” Saying this he left her room making Rachel chuckle, she felt that it was nice to have an animal as a friend, he was so nice and trustworthy. She lay down on her bed a little relaxed and finally her sleep began to take over her as she dozed off.

Rafel on the other hand went to look for Jessica to talk with her, he took her to his own room which was no less majestic than the queen’s but after all Rachel was the queen so that little difference was quite evident and he was the one who had created that as he knew that the position of hers was the highest. Jessica stood in front of him worried that something had gone wrong but them he used his magic to write his words in the air. When Jessica read that she was shocked that Rafel was considering her as a person who could go against the queen so she ȧssured him “Your honour, whatever may happen, I will give away my life for the queen but never go against her.”

Rafel looked at her sternly as he wrote “I can trust no one when it comes to the queen, the only witch I can trust completely is the one that is trusted by the throne and that is the queen. My duty is to protect her so I trust no one especially who are doing fishy things. Now unless you decide to tell the truth I will take your position to be witches forever, this applies to Jamie too.”

Jessica looked at him with hesitation as if she was worried about something, her mind was muddled as she decided what to do. Rafel gave her some time to think before she could say anything but when he didn’t hear her say anything for a while, he finally decided to urge her to speak “If you don’t want to say anything, you are free to leave this place now and never return because I don’t want our queen to be threatened by your presence and all your memories will be removed too.”

Before he proceeded to do anything Jessica finally spoke “No don’t do that, I will tell you everything but please don’t tell the queen.”

After a while she recited the incident that happened the night Rachel turned into a queen and then she added “After that there had been many instances when her memories tried to break through but I had to seal them back and I was almost caught once, if those memories break through in an instant they will kill her or if not that she will loose all her other memories. We had to wait for a month for Robert to heal, sealing his memories had taken most of my energy and now that he is healed we have to get them back together as soon as possible to prevent their memories from breaking through, once they are together those memories will come back slowly without harming any of them as you are aware of how this magic works.”

Rafel nodded his head and then his brows furrowed as the words appeared “This should have been brought to my information earlier as it concerns the queen.”

There was sterness in his eyes as those words flashed and disappeared which made Jessica bow her head in guilt as she said “I am truly sorry but at that time she had yet to be formally turned into the queen and we didn’t want to tell anyone about her troubling part moreover she took her position and proved her worth so we thought that we will deal with the other things ourselves without telling anyone as she can continue to do her part.”

Rafel understood her worries and then his last words appeared “Now I will help you deal with it because you have to keep in mind that she is worried of not being able to win the trust of people if she take such a drastic step. You have to inform me everything and I will talk to the queen for now so you may leave.”

Jessica nodded her head and bowed before leaving the room while Rafel began to think how to talk to Rachel now and he was also spectaculating if it was right for them to get married or he should use his magic to seal Rachel’s memories permanently. Jessica on the other hand went to tell Jamie about her conversation with Rafel and also added “Now that he is involved, I don’t think it will be easy for these two to get married he might decide to seal her memories with his magic and if he does that they will not have the chance to break through and cause trouble but in that case both of then won’t be able to get together also we can not go against him now that he has decided to handle this matter.”

Jamie had a sullen face too but she still said “Don’t worry, he will think nicely before he decides something and now that we are not allowed to do anything let’s leave to the fate and pray for them.”

Jessica nodded her head and before she could leave Jamie said “Don’t tell Robert for now, wait for what Rafel says.”

Jessica replied “He will obviously think about the city and how to protect it, according to him it will be beneficial if both of them are not together and you know that so why are you so hopeful.”

Jamie shook her head and said “I am not but I still want to hear him say those words before making any decisions.”

Jessica nodded her head “Alright, I am so tired and I need some rest now so I will leave first.”

Jamie saw her out and when she returned she too went to her room feeling dejected.

Rafel finally made his decision and went to look for the queen.
