Chapter 426 – Lovers Spat

“Do you think that is the matter between us?” if he did, then he was a brazen fool.

“I never had anything against you. I was just doing my duties and following the commands of my master.” his voice softened when he tried to touch her cheeks, caress them but she scowled.

“Ha! Did your master tell you to use me and break my heart?” she scoffed as she looked away but they kept dancing together.

“He did ask me to use you but the method was my own choice. If she would have fallen in danger, you or Rafael would have saved her.” his voice turned sharper and fiercer, “that was only one way to stop you.. Giving you a person who was more important than her to you.”

He shrugged his shoulders as if he did not have any other choice.

“You can blame me but the demons were bound by blood. We can never go against our masters.” he smiled at her but she looked away.

“It had nothing to do with me. Let me go and find another target this time. I am not that fool anymore.” he sighed.

She was struggling so much that even a blind could see he was forcing her. And he was sure if it would have been any other moment, she would have already burnt her and then opened a portal to run away.

He stared at her struggling figure and then sighed as he let her go.

She stared at him, taking a step back and letting her go.

The song was still continuing and everyone was still dancing. It still has time to change the partner but he… let her go?

Ha! She did not know if she was relieved or disappointed but she did not want to stand there and let others mock her.

She took a step back and then turned to leave.

Declan kept standing there while staring at her leaving figure.

Henry, who was looking at the whole scene with intense eyes, smirked. So, they really have a thing together.

But it did not matter anymore. He was going to teach him a lesson now that she was gone.

He went to talk to a few of his friends who would support him in everything.

He pointed at Declan and whispered a few words into the ears of his friends who nodded their heads with a vicious look on their faces.

They need to teach commoners a lesson since they have forgotten their position completely.

“Are you sure that you want to leave?” asked Hazel with furrowed brows. “I thought your beast needed to be fed?” she looked at her lower body region with a sly look on her face before looking back on his face.

“Yes, I am sure. I need to handle these scams before tonight. Once they would receive what they wanted. Only then will they support you in your meeting tomorrow.” he sighed.

“I had never thought that I would work so much in my life. You have completely enslaved me.” she shook his head and moved closer to her.’ it would be better that it was fed well once i will come back.”

She nodded. Though she still did not understand why he was getting so worked up, she knew that he was only doing all that for her.

When the councilman stared at him again, he nodded his head and followed them while passing her an apologetic look.

She shook her head and waved goodbye. It must be needed or he would not have left her..

Yet, there was an uneasy feeling in her heart.

She kept staring for a few seconds before turning her gaze to Anne.. but soon a frown formed on her face when she realized that the girl was not there anymore.

Only Declan was standing in the corner drinking glasses of wine one over another.

She pursued her lips as she walked towards them with a cold glint in her eyes

“What in the world are you doing?” she asked in a low but dangerous voice.

“Drinking! What else?” he replied in an indifferent voice looking at her, as if she was a fool to ask such an absurd question.

“Ha! Are you here to drink? I thought you were looking for Anne?” she tapped her feet on her ground with impatience though she was still maintaining the smile on her face since she knew there were so many men and women looking at her.

“This is the only thing made by humans that is better in taste and reliable. What else is there to enjoy?” He shook his head as if he was suffering from a headache and picked up another glass.

He drank the whole in a single gulp when she sighed.

She had not called him to babysit but to help her with Anne.

“What about Anne? where is she?” She was still looking at every corner but she was not able to find her.

“She left. I am sure she ran away so that she didn’t need to see me.” he chuckled as if it was a thing of amusement.

“And the man you had chosen for her. He had gone to collect men to attack me. I am sure he is even going to hire the mercenaries so that no one would know it was him.” Hazel raised a brow at his nonchalance yet quick observation.

She had sent him so that Declan could realize his feelings and pursue Anne seriously but that is this?

“Hey, are you here to get a drink of court my sister?” She took the glass away from his hands and placed it back on the tray of the waiter and signaled him to leave.

“If you thought that it would be so easy to court her then you were a fool in the first place. Now go and find her and do not come back until she will forgive you. Or else, i didn’t know about Henry, but i will surely kill you.”
