‘Who am i? Where am i? What am i?’

How could I be so foolish! I wanted to beat myself up for digging my own grave every time i open my mouth and miss Anne who would have corrected me every time like she used to do in the palace and I turned and took another circle of the circular bed of my room.

I could see the maids were staring at me as if I had gone crazy but then I doubt they thought that I was craziest since the day they met me!

Taking a deep sigh, I slumped on the bed and looked at the ceiling again.

The sound of my body falling limply on the bed gave them a fright of their lives as they flinched on their place but did not dare to open their mouth and ask me anything.

From the day I arrived here, except for a few vampires, I could call my family now. I have not seen any of them._.

But to think that I am going to spend the whole evening among them sounds so scary that I did not want to take my foot out of the room.

“My.. my lady!” I heard the quivering voice of the maid who was standing on the door from the time I remember.

“Yes!” Why was she so scared? It was not like I took my anger out on them!

“Lady Diana is here to have an audience with you. Shall I accept her request to enter your room?” she asked with a pale face.

She was scared that I might be angry with her request and if she would not tell me, then the vampires would drink all her blood. Poor girl! I swore that she would start crying any moment.

“No! Tell her to wait for me in the hall. I will be there soon!” I could not see the little devil with such an ashen face.

I need to control my emotions and improve the color of my face before meeting her.

“That.. What if she asked the reason?” the way she suggested it, i was sure that she would ask the reason!

“Then tell her that i did not meet anyone in the room where i make love with my husband! After all, an empress has some privacy too.“ I must say I have become more and more shameless since the day I arrived here!

The eyes of the maid widened and her face turned crimson when she heard hazel but nodded her head and ran towards the door afraid that blood would start dripping from her face and this could have been the most terrible thing to happen in the palace full of thirsty blood creatures.

Hazel stood up too as she walked towards the dressing table and sat on it. Using a bit of makeup, she made sure that her face matched the confidence she showed to them.

“Take me to the room where the lady is waiting.” She asked that same maid, and the maid bowed her head and started walking towards the hall.

Hazel was sure that the girl would be gritting teeth and shouting just like her mother but when Hazel reached the room. The girl was enjoying her tea. There was a placid smile on her face, that looked so serene that it made Hazel stunned.

If she could not anger the girl, then how would she get rid of this vampiress! It was bad for her to agitate them till they left her alone!?

“My lady!” Diana nodded her head as a greeting instead of bowing her head but Hazel did not care much about it and sat in front of her.

“Yes! Why do you want to meet me?” asked hazel in a curt voce but it did not affect the smile of Diana.

“You seem to be forgetting, my lady! I have been assigned to guide you for the meeting with the other nobles! It would be embarrassing if you did not know any of them when they would come to greet you.” Her voice was soft and warm and her eyes had a friendly look in them.

“I am here to guide you about the nobles that are closer to Rafael and mother. Those that matter to our vampires. So, I hope you have enough time to learn.

Though you did not do anything, I am sure you would learn enough if you do hard work and I promise I will be patient enough with you no matter how many times you ask me!” The sweet smile on her face only increased with the time as she spoke but all the nerves of the hazel had already started to pop out.

If one would listen, it may feel like Diana was caring enough and trying her best to adjust with hazel.

But if I listened carefully, she was trying to say that hazel would surely embarrass them. That was why the council had hired Diana to teach her as she was nothing but an arrogant girl who had been lucky to be announced as the empress.

Not only that even if she would do a lot of hard work and give it her hundred percent. She would only make a lot of mistakes. So, she should not be scared as Diana was already prepared for her mistakes!

Was she not looking down on her! Her tone was nothing but sweet yet her words are so poisonous!

‘Damn! Do you think you can take over my pride with those sweet words of yours! Ha! I will show you how the empress rules the land!’

“Oh, I did not understand what you were talking about? Who told you that I did not know about the nobles that are closer to the palace? Do you want me to introduce to the Celestia family or Van Dawon who were famous for their lineage or could it be that you want me to tell about the Salicion, the one who should be announced as your better half?”
