Rafael raised his brows, his deep eyes sinking on Anne with a crimson glow.
“Are you choosing a human?” His tone had a bit of surprise but he did not say further when she tilted her head but nodded.
“You thought I would choose a witcher?” she asked in a tone as if asking, “don’t you know good witchers are hard to come by!” when he shrugged his shoulders,
“Vampires would have been a good choice too. I have one cousin names Damien.” Though his voice was nonchalant, he looked at her with a deep gaze when she shook her head.
She did not want to do anything with the man who had a crush on her sister. But she could not say that aloud. So, she only shook her head and smiled.
“Stop forcing her! She should be happy. Only that matters. And that Delcan.. He seems to be a nice guy.” Just as the words left her mouth, the door of the room knocked.
“My lord, there are a few guests asking for the lady and the councilman who comes here often.” Hazel raised her brows with a cheshire grin on her face as she wriggled her brows looking at Anne as if asking, “it has only been a few hours since you are back, and he is already here?”
Anne shook her head as she picked up the cushion from the bed and hit her sister with it.
“Ask them to wait in the meeting room. We will be there soon.” the knight nodded his head and left the room.
“I am sure they must be the witches from the last night.” His face had already a layer of frost forming but hazel was not fazed at all.
As if he was about to kill someone with the dagger from his eyes.
“Why don’t you go and ask your lover why he is here while we go and burn some witches!” she said with a smile and meaningful tone when Anne nodded.
She was more than welcome in taking care of Declan.
Soon a few maids helped in changing the clothes of hazel. She dressed up as a profound empress and looked at the mirror. The silver and white dress was giving others a mirage of being pure and kind hearted.
She walked out of the room with confidence when she noticed that all the witches from last night were there but to her surprise, Celine was there too.
Though the woman was not able to convince her, she was still with the witches.
“Are you sure you can handle all of them alone?” asked Anne when Hazel nodded her head instantly.
If she could not be able to take care of such a small group, then how was she thinking of participating as the empress of the human species?
“My lady.” Hazel scanned the whole room and her eyes stipped on the four guards and six maids in every corner of the room.
Her lips hooked into a smile as she waved her hands as if asking them to leave.
“I thought i have already cleared what i want,” without wasting a second on greeting them, she spoke one cold sentence as she sat on the chair with her legs crossed.
Her face was oozing unparalleled beauty and a strong dominant vibe that forced many to bow their head in front of her.
“Those are part of our coven, my lady. You should have known better than others how witches were badly treated as they were abhorred. I am only here and requesting you again and again so that you could make a decision in our favor.
Those slaves need a better life and hope for the future. Do you think anyone else would take care of the witches better than us?” If it would have been anyone else, he would have agreed to the man instantly after beating so much torment from the hands of humans but Hazel just raised a brow.
“If they were part of your coven, then you should have attacked the guards already for a long time.” she still waved at the guards who bowed their heads and left to fulfill her orders.
“But still I am giving you a chance to confirm them. If they want to go with you, then I will not stop them.“ Soon the guards left and Hazel smiled at them.
Her bewitching smile left Lilian in anger. The woman was trying to show off her authority as if she was a kind one. Her hands clenched into a tight fist.
She did not like hazel from the start. She felt that Hazel was an arrogant bitch just because she was a dark witch. She was able to stand high because she had powers but once her powers were taken away from her, then she would be nothing but a fool.
The hatred was clear in her eyes that Hazel noticed. But she did not pay much attention to her as she found Lilian harmless. She could only shout and snarl but after the experience of last time, she was sure Lilian would not act rashly.
“More than you, i am worried about the healing of those slave and i assure you that i will take a good care of them.
If you have decided to choose me as your leader, then you have to show a little faith in me.” she said to the man whose eyes flickered.
He looked at hazel with a strange look in his eyes before nodding his head.
“As long as you do not abandon the witches, I will always be standing beside you, protecting you and supporting you. We need a change, my lady. And I have been assured since the first day that you would be the one bringing it.” he said in a hoarse voice but his eyes were filled with sincerity that she chuckled as she knew he had one for her.
He was just trained to act that way
“If that is the case, then why don’t you take me to your coven, you are so worried about.”
