Chapter 175 [Bonus chapter] Where She Belong

He was threatening her! She could feel her blood boil the way he stared at her as if he was looking down on her for her lousy act.

It took all her strength to not act out of line.

“Of course, after all, you are my son in law. You are like Liam and Vincent to me.” she forced a smile on her face as she moved her hands and patted his shoulder but he took a step back before she could touch him again,

He took out the coat he was wearing and threw it on the ground as if it had become dirty that infuriated her further.

“You must be too tired, Agatha would show you your rooms.” she pointed at the maid that was following them as she knew that she could not bear this vampire anymore. He was flaring her intentionally. But if she lost, then her husband would not let her live peacefully for months.

“I would like to meet the councilman who had come this far. After all, I am no guest. As you said, I am the owner of the palace as Vincent and Liam.” he raised a brow as if challenging her to refuse him. When she nodded her head that looked mechanical and Hazel wondered how much force had she put into it.

“Would you be coming with me?” Hazel shook her head as she was already feeling exhausted with the long journey and then the fight.

She did not have the mental capacity to handle another battle of wits. She would rather roll on her bed and enjoy the soft bed she was going to have this time.

Then she would ask someone to call Anne. She wondered if she still worked in the annex building or had she shifted to the main palace after she left.

Rafael moved closer when she thought that he would leave and kissed her forehead tenderly.

“I will join you soon. Till then take care of yourself.”

Looking at her whole body turned rigid, he left with a smile under her stunned gaze.

Estella turned and left as she did not feel the need to act in front of someone as pathetic as Hazel and her daughter followed her.

She had wasted enough time here anyway.

“Brother!” Liam stared at his brother, the crown prince, as if asking for permission but he shook his head, which made his face look awful.

He gritted his teeth as he nodded. He had heard that revenge is best served cold. He would wait until he got his chance.

Everyone left one by one with only Hazel and Vincent standing there.

Even maids left when he signaled them to leave, making Hazel frowns.

She still did not know where her room was and the path of this palace.

Though others think it was her home. It was only the second time she had entered the main palace, of course the first time was her marriage.

So she did not get the chance to explore this place.

Just when she was thinking she felt a hand on her shoulders. It gave her an uneasy feeling when she felt him standing too close to her.

“You must be waiting for someone to show you your room. Too bad, even the maids did not wait for you.

They must be under the impression that you are the old Hazel who did not need to be tended. After all, you have lived all your life alone in the annex building doing all your chores by yourself.” he whispered in a baritone voice with a smirk on his face when his breath touched her skin but instead of feeling that feathery tingling feeling, she felt nauseous.

She tried to move away when she felt that his hold was stronger than she had thought and he was not letting her go away.

“Do not be mad. I know they are in the wrong for treating such a beautiful girl that way. You should be treated like a princess.

Why don’t you come with me? I will show you your room. Hhmm!” he leaned closer to her and if anyone would look from a distance, it would feel that they were kissing as there was hardly any gap between their lips.

She glared at him but was no match for him. Even after learning sword wielding and holding daggers, it did not increase her physical strength and the man standing in front of her was the crown prince.

The man who was holding a sword since his birth.

“Let me go!” she spoke in a cold voice as she struggled but it only brought an amused look on his face.

“Why? I am trying to help Hazel. I know that no one will treat you well in the palace even if they would pretend in front of that evil monster.

And we both know that he is also using you as his pawn. Do you think I would believe that you are in a relationship of husband and wife when your whole body turns rigid with such a simple goodbye kiss!

Tsk! You should have done more practice. But I can see how you have turned into a beautiful lady. Oh my, why have I never noticed that you are so stunning.

You should not hold on to the rotten rope to save yourself, Hazel.

He is a monster in the end and can kill you any moment just because he would be hungry here.

Why don’t you come with me? We can sit and reminisce about old times. After all, you are still my little sister. And as a big brother, I should take care of you. Come.” moving his one hand away from her shoulder while keeping one there, he held her wrist with the intention to drag her if she did not listen.

He had enough of her rebellion. Now is the time when she was reminded who she was in reality.

“Let me go or you will lose the hand that is holding me.”
