Chapter 32 [Bonus chapter] Are You Scared?

Hazel was still shocked when he had not only taken her side but also gave her all the right to control the palace. She was so stunned that she did not know how to respond and was still taking him to wrap all the matter in her mind when the man moved closer to him.

His cold lips touched her warm cheeks and she shivered, she knew that she could not jerk him away in front of everyone when she heard him whisper into her ears,

“Only I can keep you alive since Edward is going to leave the palace after the function. So, why don’t you look at me with those eyes in the future. Huh?”

With the words being said he moved an inch away and looked straight into her eyes.

Though three was still a harmless smile on his face. His eyes were intense. If she did not know any better she would have thought that he was a jealous lover!

“…….” and what type of eyes he was talking about! She was only making sure that she would stay alive!

“If you continue to look at me like that, I will fulfill all the words I have said earlier right in front of everyone!”

“……” with the speed of lightning she moved her head away! But her heart was accelerated so fast that she could hear it getting out of her ribcage. Her whole face was burnt red, it was so heated that blood would drip out if it any second.

“The new couple seems to be so much in love!” exclaimed a girl and everyone came out of their daze.

Scarlet was gritting her teeth as she was looking at both of them. She had only accepted the marriage because she had thought Hazel was just like other empresses, she would come, live here for a week or two and then end up at the dinner table.

Who would have thought that she would gain the favor of Rafael and how? Except using her sharp tongue and bossing around like a brat, she had done nothing special yet Rafael looked like he was completely smitten by her sultry face.

Soon a new meal was served by the maids, but the eyes of the vampires were still on the couple. All the time Rafael’s eyes were stilled on the girl as if there was none other but her though she was looking like a fool.

“What is with Rafael, why is he paying so much attention towards the girl. She looks no less than the witch with all the makeup and behavior!” Venissa looked at the couple as she whispered in the ears of Diana who frowned.

“Well they are a newly married couple, that is what they were supposed to do?” her voice had a bit of confusion that only increased the frown on the face of Venissa!

“This is just a marriage of convenience! He was supposed to marry you! How could you be so nonchalant about it!” The girl looked at Diana with a frown and the eyes of Diana widened.

Diana held the hands of the girl and dragged her away. She looked around to make sure that no one else was listening.

Taking a breath of relief that no one noticed their small actions,

“Do not forget that Rafael is our lord. He is the one who decided and we were to follow. Even when he had chosen the witch in the past, we all had to bow our heads!

This is just a human! Your words can kill both of us, so you better pay more attention to what you say in public.

Hazel is the empress now, it is only right that we will serve her! Venissa, I am warning you for your own good! Do not go against hazel!” Diana shouted in a whisper as she looked at the girl with a scowl on her face.

“So you mean we play a part in her fashion parade of dancing like monkeys on her fingers!” the girl retorted with gritted teeth and she knew most of them felt like that only.

“Venissa, i am already troubled with all the mess and the way mother and brother retort to her every action.

I did not want any further problem!” she muttered as she pinched the space between her eyes and left from there.

Just as she turned her eyes glowed with evil glint but she did not turn to look at the fuming girl behind.

The glass on the hands on venisa broke as she increased the pressure in her hands and looked at the retreating back of Diana with gritted teeth.

Her eyes scanned the room and a smirk formed on her lips when it stopped on Damien.

With slow and seductive steps, she walked towards Damien while she continued to look at the loving couple who were feeding food to each other now!

“Dami! It has been ages, how are you?” The girl placed her hands on the chest of the man who smirked and pulled her closer into his arms.

“Hey, Venisa, so, now that Rafael is taken, are you finally giving me a chance?” the man whispered closer to the ears of Venisa and then bit her there seductively.

“Mmmm” she closed her eyes but her hold on the shirt tightened as her hands clenched into the fist!

“I wonder if the empress looks like that in reality or if she is a beauty. Rafael seems too fond of her!” the man chuckled but then his eyes narrowed on hazel as he said with sparkling eyes.

“She is more beautiful than Diana and you! She had a charm that could only be found on humans.

Like a bud that has yet to grow!” a ray of light flashed past his eyes when he remembered her coming to the breakfast table without any makeup with her wet hair and rosy skin. She was breathtaking!

“Then how can a man like you let that bud go? Or are you scared because she is the girl Rafael had chosen?”
