192 Chapter 192: Two dull hearts (2/2)

Hazel let out a smile as she gazed at the snow-filled area and snuggled closer to Usui. Usui bit his lips as he peeked at her through the corner of his lips.

He looked down at his hands, fidgeting restlessly. Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, ”Did you know, Freya?” Hazel pulled back and gazed at Usui who smiled calmly.

”I never knew anything about love. My life was plain and black until you came in and made it colorful.”

Hazel chuckled as she nodded her head.

”Rumors fly around in a speed invisible to the naked eye.”

Usui chuckled.

Hazel continued, ”It was hilarious when we heard about how you abhorred woman, and yet when you arrived here, you were the complete opposite.”

”What do you mean by complete opposite? I dislike women now except you.”

Hazel laughed, ”Am I not a woman?”

”You are but you are my woman. Not anyone”

Hazel giggled and wondered where he learned to sweet-talk. Usui looked at her and asked curiously, ”So you investigated me before I arrived in this kingdom?”

He raised his eyebrows when he was met with silence, ”Wow.. so you were pretending to not like me.”

Hazel rolled her eyes as she said, ”Don't forget about Rin's ability.”

Usui asked in surprise, ”What? Did he see me?”

Hazel sighed as she looked down her hands and said, ”He had a snippet of you arriving and the upcoming battle with the demons. The prophecy of the upcoming battle was one of the reasons why we came early but never did we think that the ministers would arrange for a groom competition.”

Usui nodded his head.

”Didn't Rin know?”

”Rin always had his visions in the form of dreams earlier so it was easy for him to not notice his powers. But now, he can see the snippets while awake making it very dangerous.”

Usui nodded his head remembering his predicament related to him. And, now that he thinks about it, it was Death who met him and swallowed him whole but luckily he managed to escape its clutches.

He shook his head and asked, ”So what did he say about my visit?”

Hazel looked at him curiously and said, ”That you would become an irreplaceable piece in my life. That you would be the one stopping me”

”Stopping you? Stopping you from what?”

Hazel shrugged. She didn't know and she didn't care what laid for her in the future. After all, the future wasn't certain.

Usui frowned, ”Well, I won't be stopping you from doing anything unless its death.”

Hazel rolled her eyes and continued.

”Well, after that it was easy to find out whom he was referring to as your name traveled among the royals. The most wanted prince.” Usui grimaced at her choice of words.

”You were in demand and many were willing to share their information about you. Even after hearing about all your glories, I wasn't moved at all.” Hazel threw him an apologetic look as she continued, ” I wasn't ready to make anyone part of my life. So when you rejected me in front of the crowd, I was elated instead of being furious.”

Usui laughed, ”You must have thought you escaped from my clutches.”

Hazel chuckled, ”Yeah... If I had known that you would fall for Freya, I would have never appeared in front of you as Freya”

Usui laughed, ”I should be glad that Rin didn't mention whether I will be irreplaceable for Freya or Hazel.”

Hazel smiled, ”It doesn't matter anymore. You have become irreplaceable to me.”

Usui's eyes shimmered as he laughed, ”I'm glad I changed that”

Hazel smiled at him, ”So we became each other's savior?”

Usui grabbed her hands and played with her fingers as he mused, ”You could say that”

He looked at her and slowly intertwined their hands.

”Two dull hearts joined to form one interesting heart making the other's life enjoyable”

Usui leaned forward and kissed her forehead, ”You saved me from the curse, Freya”
