Masked Girl And Her Prince - Chapter 185 Chapter 185

BAAM!

Usui groaned loudly clutching his head in frustration. He cursed the intruder’s 16 generations to never have a peaceful moment with their beloved.

But his body froze when he heard Zelal’s excited voice, “Brother, you are finally awake!”

He halted by the door when he saw his brother’s furious expression and Hazel’s red face. Putting two together, he realized that he disturbed something important.

His eyes moved away from his brother’s whose gaze was burning a hole in his chest.

Usui screamed inwardly when he remembered he cursed his generations.

‘Damn it!’

He lost it when he heard Zelal sheepishly rub his head and ask, “Did I interrupt something?”

Zelal thought that it was better if he had clamped his mouth shut when his brother stood up with his eyes spitting fire. He staggered back and was relieved when he saw Hazel hold his brother’s arms.

‘Oh My God!! I’m so glad that he fell in love’

Gulping by the door, he enjoyed the fact that he had escaped death by his sister-in-law’s luck.

Hazel laughed when she saw Usui’s extreme reaction as if he lost something precious. Usui pouted as he glanced at Hazel making her chuckle lightly.

“Come on, let’s get you on your bed.”

But Usui didn’t release her hand, as he stared at her intensely making her flustered.

Usui smirked when he saw her shy demeanor. God, how he wished this idiot didn’t disturb them. Usui leaned down, his mouth close to her ear, “Next time, I will make sure to lock the room”

Hazel’s blush seared through her cheeks and for a minute she thought her face was on fire. She suddenly felt awkward, demure, and coy; even going as far as pushing him away.

Usui laughed as he followed her and flopped on the bed while staring at her. Unable to focus on her task, Hazel glared at him and roughly yanked him to lay down.

Usui laughed freely as he withdrew his gaze after receiving her glare and looked at his dumb brother standing still, gaping at them.

A frown quickly made to his face as he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Zelal instantly pouted looking at his brother and Hazel who had this sweet atmosphere around him.

‘Scrap that! He was so not happy!’

He totally didn’t want to enter the room but as he was hesitating, a slap landed on his head.

“Ouch!” he grumbled as he rubbed his head and moved out of the way. Stella stood there with her hands on her hips as she asked, “Why are you blocking the path?”

Zelal furrowed his brows as he muttered, “No one loves me”

Stella rolled her eyes as she walked into the room. She raised her eyebrows when she saw Hazel beside him. Her lips curled up as she looked at Zeke teasingly.

“How are you?”

Usui smiled gently at her as he nodded, “Perfect”

Stella chuckled knowing all too well that he was referring to his love life and not his health.

Hazel looked at his siblings gathered and tactically thought that she should let them be. She patted his hand and turned around to leave when Usui pulled her back.

Tightening his hold on her, he frowned, “Where are you going?”

Hazel blinked as she looked at his siblings and back to him. Usui pulled her closer, intertwining her hands as he said, “Stay with me”

Hazel bit her lips feeling troubled by his antics. She should leave him alone with his family, right?

Understanding what was going on, Stella hurriedly said, “Sister, you can stay. You are among us now”

Hazel raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded. Feeling assured, Usui smiled and turned around to his siblings, with her hands clasped in his.

Zelal grumbled as he stopped near Stella, “Why is he shoving dog food into our faces?”

Stella shook her head as she ignored him. She looked at Usui and said in a small voice, “You scared us”

Usui’s smile vanished when he heard her. Instant guilt coursed through his body when he remembered his actions. He almost killed his siblings, the people whom he was closed to.

Stella, Zelal and finally… His eyes widened when he remembered what he had done to his family…to her. He hurriedly looked at her and saw that she had recovered well. But his heart ached when he realized that he was behind her injuries.

“I’m sorry” he mumbled looking at them. He owed them his apology.

Stella hurriedly waved her hands as she said, “No..No… I didn’t mean about the battle. I meant about your health.” She, then added, softly, “We don’t blame you, Zeke”

Usui smiled bitterly, “You should… it is only right if you do so.”

“It is not your fault”

Usui shook his head as he sat there in silence. He looked at his hands as he thought how he would have survived. He didn’t know what he would have done if he had succeeded.

Was there any point in living then? Was there any point in living when all his loved ones have died?

Sensing his troubled mind, Hazel squeezed his gently making Usui glance at her. He smiled softly as he brought her hands to his lips and kissed softly.

“You are my lucky charm, Princess”

He remembered how close he was to kill his brother and sister. He remembered how his sword hovered over his injured sister and if Hazel hadn’t appeared, he wouldn’t know how he would have lived with this crime.

Hazel tilted her head as she held his hand with both her hands and smiled. His heart melted seeing her smile for him, that he rubbed her cheek with his other hand gently.

“Cough cough! We are still here Cough Cough!”

Zelal coughed startling them from their world. Annoyed Usui turned towards him, fully done with his disturbances. Stella’s lips twitched when she saw how easy it was for them to get distracted. She wondered if she and Loki would ever be like this.

Remembering the earlier days, her cheeks carried a tint of red making Usui narrow his eyes. He was about to ask her when Hazel said, “Why didn’t you tell everyone that Stella was your sister?”

Usui halted his thoughts for a second before he burst into laughter.

“You finally figured it out?”

Hazel narrowed her eyes as she asked, “So you knew? You knew that everyone misunderstood your relationship.”

Usui calmed down as he nodded, “I had a small suspicion but never thought it was right.”

He then added, “It was enjoyable seeing you burn in envy”

“Haha” Hazel sneered, “It was also entertaining to see you burn in envy while I was with Jinha”

His laughter was cut off while Hazel harrumphed. Usui pursed his lips thinking about the times he almost blew his head off because of Jinha.

Suddenly a slap fell on his head taking him by surprise. He annoyedly turned around, “What, now?”

Stella glared at him, “Zeke, never do that again. You almost made Loki misunderstand me”

Usui huffed, “If he can’t trust you, then why do you have to care about him?”

Gritting her teeth, Stella pulled back her sleeves to hit him again when she saw her shameless brother moving close to Hazel.

Hazel was taken aback when she heard Stella’s declaration.

‘It looks like the cold-hearted dragon is finally showing signs of warmth.’

She chuckled quietly at her thoughts. Her eyes drifted towards the window and saw the sky change in color. It was dusk making her say, “Let’s leave him alone to rest”

Usui held onto her hand as he frowned, “Why are you leaving me?”

Hazel smiled helplessly, “I will be back later after checking up on Rin”

He didn’t know why but he still held a fear deep within his heart. If he let her go now, it feels as if she will never return to him again?

Nevertheless, he nodded glumly. He turned to his siblings and said, “You guys should rest as well. I will meet you guys tomorrow.”

Stella nodded and looked at Zel before stepping out of the room. Zelal looked at his brother hesitantly before his eyes shifted to Hazel who was also looking at him amusedly.

Usui raised an eyebrow at him making Zelal blurt out, “Congratulations, brother”

He suddenly smiled, “I’m happy that you could finally claim her heart.”

Usui chuckled, “Thanks!”

He nodded at Hazel as he passed by her and hurriedly followed Stella.

Hazel looked at the door amusedly, “You have very strange siblings”

Usui laughed, “You haven’t met the entire troop”

Hazel shook her head as she released his hand. Not even a minute had passed, when he grabbed hers and asked, “Will you be back soon?”

Hazel chuckled, “When did you become so clingy?”

Usui looked wronged as he said, “I don’t know. You made me discover this side of me. So you need to take responsibility for me.”

Hazel nodded helplessly, “Ay! Ay” She grabbed onto his blanket and said, “I will be back later at night”

Usui pursed his lips as he nodded at her… Well, he can always wait for her.
