“Hmm, what shall i eat next!” Hazel roamed her eyes on the other desserts that the maid had brought when she felt someone was staring at her for long.

‘Could it be that they were back already! How could that demon have so much time to spend with her! Isn’t he a lord! Didn’t lord work all day’ she cussed Rafael a few times in her heart, only then the smile came back on her face and she turned!

“Why do I feel that you were not expecting me, my lady!?” The man smiled and forwarded his hands as if asking for a dance but Hazel looked at him with a blank face.

“Who are you!?” she crossed her hands in front of her chest and asked in a cold voice when the man stayed silent!

“……” his face turned red, only he knew whether he was embarrassed or furious as he stared at the girl with narrowed eyes, but he knew many were watching her so he could not be further rude!

“I.. I am your brother! The one who came to you before you were going to get married!” The voice came out through gritted teeth as his eyes filled with hatred, but his face still had that smile even when it turned ugly!

“Brother? I did not remember any brother! There must be some misunderstanding! But I have grown up in an empty palace with only a maid!” she replied nonchalantly as she tried to leave!_.

The man stood there stunned! He was expecting so many reactions when he would come to meet her. Even her crying on his shoulders and begging him to take her back was one of them, but he had never expected her to refuse him from recognizing!

What would he do now!?

“Wait! Hazel! Father would be very furious when he would know about it!

What if he tells Rafael your true intentions of coming here??” he held her hands and pulled her back towards him and whispered those words in urgency.

But before he could say further, a bunch of knights charged forward and held the man. They held both hands of the man behind his back like he was a prisoner.

Hazel turned and smirked when she looked at his condition. Their last meeting was still vivid in her memories! How could she forget him!

When she thought about that day, her brows knitted into a thin line but then she chuckled!

“Well, let’s just say that you all have forced me to be the bride of the vampire lord!

Then i was sent here with maids only that ran away the other day as if they have done the task of selling me now they have nothing to do with me.

I didn’t even receive proper clothes or jewels from the empire like I was just discarded as a sacrificial lamb, then how will I remember a brother I have seen only once!?

And as long as talking to Rafael, the man is over there! You can go and talk to him about anything as you please! Why should I care about it!?” she muttered in a nonchalant tone but her eyes had turned so cold and her face so dark that the man trembled.

He could not believe that she was the simple and innocent girl who used to live alone all her life just three days ago!

“Make sure that no one approaches me now! Or I will make sure that you will get punished in the end!” the knights bowed their heads with a tremble.

They noticed how much importance she had gained in a single day, so they did not dare to anger her!

She swept one last glance to the haughty man who was raging like a madman and snorted!

“You! Just you wait.. I will!” Did she think that she was going to spend a long time here? She was going to die anyway yet she was not ready to do what they wanted.

Such a shameless and ungrateful wench! His father had nurtured her in the palace in vain! He wanted to just slap her and remind her where she belonged.

Hazel rolled her eyes when she heard the threat! Was it the favorite one or they were just novice villains who did not know how to treat anyone!

“If you did not close that filthy mouth of yours, I will not even ask you to wait as I order the knights to kill you this instant!” her cold words created a shiver in the crowd who were looking at the scene with curious eyes.

‘…………..”

“See! This is how threats are given! They needed to be impactful! Your threat was too lousy!” she flicked her hair with arrogance as she looked down at him who was stunned!

“….”so, she was only threatening him to teach him how to give threats?! Or was she serious!

He looked at her with bewilderment but she had already turned to leave! He wanted to open his mouth and call her once again but he was not sure if it would work.. What if she actually asked the knights to kill him.

He wanted to beat her but fear of his life was greater than that!

‘You are flying too high under the wings of Rafael! But do not forget that he was not your guardian but your keeper! I will see you when he will cut your wings with his own hands!’

The sound of applause halted her steps, and she gulped. What if Rafael asks why she punished her own family.. She should have thought of a valid reason,

She trends with a flattering smile on her face which stiffened when she noticed Rafael was still not there but the man who was glaring at her in the morning.

“I must say I have never expected that you would treat humans like that!”

“……….” eh! What did that even mean?

“Since you are one of us now, i wanna congratulate you with a dance, my lady. Shall we?”
