Chapter 23 Test of illusion
Raze’s Point of View
I would have talked to Demon, but he’s talking to Hailey now.
I leaned my back against the wall and listened to them.
“How did Dracilus and Drake become grandchildren of the old hermit?” Demon asked.
In the tone of his speech, he seemed to disbelieve it.
“I saw the picture when Drake was young here at the old hermit’s house.” Hailey said.
“The old hermit saw me holding the photo and he told me everything.” Hailey continued.
Hailey sighed before speaking again.
“The old hermit was ill then, so he was taken away from his grandchildren by their parents.” Hailey said deeply.
“I didn’t know it was painful what happened to him then.” Demon says.
I turned my face in the other direction because Hailey suddenly hugged Demon.
“It hurts, but you have to accept it.” The old hermit suddenly appeared.
“You love Hailey, but something else is in her heart.” The old hermit said.
“I’m the first, so I should be the owner of her.” I insisted.
“She’s not a prize that when you’re the first you’ll get it.” He was enlightening me.
“How do I accept the truth?”
“If my heart were her only flesh.” I said, trying to hide my true feelings.
It’s just a pain to think that she loves someone else.
I looked at the old hermit again, but he was gone again.
“When I wanted to talk, you suddenly disappeared.” I said in my mind.
I went back inside the house because Hailey and Demon might see me listening to what they were talking about.
As I go upstairs, I was touched by my heart because it hurt. I just got down on my knees in pain.
“Are you alright?” Hailey asked.
“I-I’m fine.” I lied.
“Are you sure?” She asked again.
“Yes.” I said and smiled bitterly.
I arranged myself and went upstairs.
I locked it so no one could enter.
“Does raze hurt?” Suddenly, my brother appeared.
He’s a vampire, but he’s evil.
“Get out.” I said.
“Aren’t you happy to see me?” He asked.
“If you had joined our group, you wouldn’t have had such a hard time.” He added.
“I don’t care. Just leave. ”
“Raze or Kiel.” He says.
I have two personalities. One is Raze, who is a fool in love. The other is Kiel, who is a devil who wants to kill Demon.
“What will you do if I hurt the woman Raze loves?” He challenged me.
“I will kill you.” I said without hesitation.
“Kiel won’t be allowed to happen like that.” He said, and laughed out loud.
The pain in my chest increased even more. My brother is gone.
Hailey knew I had two personalities, but she was still able to accept me.
I just hope she doesn’t change her view of me when the secrets are gradually revealed.
Is she still the Hailey I see, or will she be swallowed up in anger and revenge?
I just closed my eyes to ease the pain I was feeling.

I woke up to the noise, so loud that I went downstairs.
“What’s going on here?” I wondered.
“Raze, I’m going to give you a second test.” The old hermit said
“I will accept.” I said.
Everything changed and the atmosphere became white.
“I’ll give you the test of illusion. You’ll see the thing you’re most afraid of, but it’s just an illusion. ” He explains.
Later on, I saw Hailey with Demon.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Will you just let them have fun?” Kiel asked.
“Shut up!” I shout.
“I see only one illusion.” I said.
“You’re wrong. It’s just an illusion of reality. ” He says.
“The day will come when they will get married and they will forget you.” He continued.
“Let me make way for Hailey to love you.”
“No. You’re just going to hurt her. ” I doubt it.
“Would you rather have Demon be the one she loves and not you?”
“Do you remember when you were young? You were always being bullied until I came and defended you. ” He reminded me.
“I do not need you.” I bitterly said.
“You need me. You’ll imprint in your brain that you’re weak when I’m not around. ” Kiel insisted.
“If I don’t, they will oppress you.” He added.
My vision gradually blurred. I’m sure Kiel is now in control of my body.
“I’ll take care of it.” Kiel said.
Now I am in control of your body. I can do everything.
Rest first, Raze.
I used black magic to shatter the illusion created by the old hermit.
“Why did you break?” Hailey asked.
I hugged her tight. I glared angrily at Demon.
“Stay beside me. Don’t leave me. ” I whispered in her ear.
I could smell Hailey’s fragrant neck. I want to suck it up. It makes me crazy at the fragrance I smell from her.
I just bit my lip so hard to prevent it from biting.
“Raze, why are you wondering if you can claim Hailey?” I said in my mind.
Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for us to steal her from the Demon.
“What are you saying?” Hailey asked curiously.
“I’m just too dizzy because of the test of illusion.” I replied.
“You need to get some rest.” She said, so I nodded.
Before I entered the house, I could still smell Hailey. Damn it!
When I entered my room, I saw Raze’s brother sitting on the bed.
“How’s your stupidity?” He asked.
“Raze is gone now. I’m Kiel.” I said coldly.
“Forgive me, Master Kiel.” He begged.
“No one can know I’m back.” I said.
“I’ll make sure no one finds out.” He assured me.
“How’s Hailey?” He asked.
“Shall I kill her?”
“No. I have other plans for her. ” I answered.
“What’s that?”
“I’ll make sure she’ll be mine.” I told him.
“Maybe you’ll be good just for that woman.”
“I’ll just use her and play around.”
“She knows me as Raze, so I’ll use that to get closer to her. She’ll fall in love with me and she will leave Demon. ” I added.
“The Demon will be hurt, and when that happens, I will destroy him completely.”
“I like your plan. Bad plan for a bad master like you.” He said, and laughed.
