Chapter 72 [Bonus chapter] Pass the test!

“I want the power to deny meeting anyone in the palace even if it is Scarlet or you, my lord!” Every time the girl spoke, it amazed him how she was so calm even when he was raging!

As if she had an impenetrable wall by which his aura clashes and returns without harming her! Yet! When she talked to Damien, it was so carefree and natural but when she talked to him, it was as if she was always eager to draw a line!

A dark ray of light passed his eyes when the thought crossed his mind and his face turned gloomy!

“Even as an empress, no wife had the power to refuse to meet her husband! Of course, the same goes otherwise too!

So, I can not grant your second condition! If you want I can consider half of it by giving you the permission to choose if you want to meet anyone else or not!” Hazel pursed her lips to avoid her from shouting that they were not a real lover or couple but in the end she nodded!

Something was better than nothing! It was already more than she expected as she did not need to worry about her safety that much!

“I understand, my lord!” Now that she was done with her conversation, she stood up and bowed her head in a hurry as if demons were chasing her when his face turned even colder and the temperature in the room dropped.

‘Why was he getting so agitated again! It would be better if I left before he blew off!’

“Did you forget that i have called you! Do you think I will call someone without any reason?” Hazel’s heart clenched when his freezing voice fell on her ears but her smile only brightened!

“Oh my, I forgot since I was worried I have already taken a lot of precious time with you!” The flattering smile was so strained that her jaws started to itch when he snorted!

“Even my maids have better practice of giving a fake smile!” with that he stood up and walked towards her and she instinctively took a step back!

‘Even if my smile is not good, you can not kill me for that! Evil bygone! Let evil be bygone!!’ as if the spell would really work, she started to mutter it with more force each time in her heart!

“What are you doing? I didn’t mean to…” ehh! With an embarrassed face, she halted in her safety speech when he did not come to her but walked past her, towards the study table behind her!

Awkward!! Why did she always feel awkward and scared around him! Ha! What was she even thinking! It was because he was a devil!

“Your family has sent you a letter! I called you to pass it in case you call me insensitive! Here!!” her whole body froze and she took no initiative to take the letter as if he was giving her her death sentence!

Rafael raised a brow when he felt that the color of her face drained instantly! She was not that scared while facing the near death experience here!

“They have sent a letter to me too! Thanking that i let their son go whom you have sent to prison in anger!

And they have invited both of us for their founding festival, which will commence next week!” Each word that left his mouth was enough to tremble her in fear!

She had thought that she had gotten rid of their traps once she had started to live here! But who would have thought..!!

Wait! Had he realized something? Why had he not asked me why I had sent my brother to prison? Could it be a test to check my loyalty!

Shall I confess the truth so that I would not be pulled into the mess later!

“That, my lord! I have asked them to take my brother to prison because I did not want to be part of their…” their.. She gulped her own saliva as the words failed to leave her mouth!

What if he pounced on her and killed her! He had clearly told her that she was alive because she had never tried to play tricks with him or kill him like his previous human wives that were sent with an intention to kill him!

What if..

“I know!” Rafael took a step closer to her and this time she was so stunned that she even forgot to take a step back!

As if facing her death, her body refused to move even an inch but her eyes had widened and sweat had started to form on her face!

“You… know!!!!” what the hell do you know!!!!!!??????????????? She shouted in her heart as she felt each step was enough to stop her heart from beating.

“Yes! Your brother apologized to me for his misconduct! He told me that he had insulted me and forced me to go back with him since he was worried about me!” he tilted his head as he did not see any change in her scared expression when he added, “i didn’t know that you care about me so much and was so keen on living here!

I must say his words surprised me!”

“…….” ‘then how did you ever lived on them! Are you a fool! No! It is a test! It is a test!’ she knew that he would have told her before if he would have believed it!

But he waited till her family took another step! And his eyes.. They were so piercing as if he was trying to look into her soul!

She took a deep breath and then shook her head and kneeled on the cold floor instantly. Even Rafael was surprised as he saw her bowing her head,

“My lord, my brother lied to you! I have asked the knights to send him to prison because he asked me to mix poison in your wine!”

“……”
