Chapter 434

“Why in the world are you following me? Did you not hear Hazel say that we did not need to work together and she would take the report separately?” Anne frowned when Declan kept walking behind her.

Even if she used teleportation, he was standing near the end points as if he always knew where she was going to apparate.

It was irritating her.

“Tsk! I am not following you but my target. What can i do if she is spending time with your target?” he scoffed as he pointed at the small tea house where Celina and Luhan was drinking tea together and were talking over some matter.

“Ha! Then you can stay and check them. I am going to take a round of the town first.” she stood up from her seat when he held her hands and pushed her back on the seat.

“They are talking about the town only. You are going to regret it if you left.“ His eyes were intense and his voice was solemn but all Anne felt was irritation.

“No matter how important their conversation is.. You are here! So you report it later to Hazel. Why are two people needed to report that same thing.” she spat with annoyance and she jerked her hands away from his hold and walked away.

Declan stopped looking at Luhan and Celina and stared at Anne and kicked the table that broke instantly.

No matter how much he did, she ignored him like he was an infectious disease.

“Did you hear the son of count, Lord Henry and son of viscount, lord Nathan were found killed near the river. Their bodies were getting rotten there.” Anne pausd when she heard the gossip.

“Yes, but surprisingly they both were at the coronation party of the empress. How could it happen that they traveled so far in a few minutes and died there?” another woman shook her head with disbelief in her eyes.

“There might be a chance that witches did it. Their spells can make anything possible. It have been few years that they are silent, otherwise these kind of incidents were common before.” said the last one with a sigh when many nodded.

“But.. i think we have to ask about it with the new emperor. She had to take strict actions again the presence of witches. I am sure she would agree since vampires and humans both hate witches.” they all nodded as they decided to leave in a group.

Anne sighed. She had thought throwing them away would keep Hazel from trouble but who would have thought that it would create a bigger trouble.

Her head instinctively turned to look at Declan whom she had left alone.

But.. her eyes narrowed at the young girl sitting behind him.

He was looking at her with intense gaze.

The reason she had fallen for him earlier was.. He never paid attention to any other women.

As if they did not exist. He could not hear or see them. Even if someone tried to approach him, his eyes turned so cold that they woman run away.

Was that an act too?

But even after returning back, he had paid no attention to any woman in the party.

Or.. her eyes turned colder! Was that also an act.

For some reason her chest felt stuffy as if a rock was on her chest and she could not breathe well.

Her feet started to move back to the table before she could even think rationally.

“You are at the wrong place, Eve. I am not going to listen to you or follow you back this time. I have..” he paused when he saw Anne coming back towards him.

Feeling him distracted, Eve turned to look back too. She lifted a brow when she noticed that it was a woman who stopped Declan in his tracks and an amused smile formed on her face.

“And here I thought that we were working!” she commented with a cold voice as she looked at him and then Eve.

“I was.. I mean I am. We will talk later. You can leave.” he looked at the girl coldly who raised a brow as if asking “why would i follow your commands?”

She was a curvy woman with dark hair and tanned skin that was rare in this land. Women mostly have light and fair skin. Her amber eyes looked like she had swallowed the sun.

Her lips that were painted red were arched in a smile that looks too seductive.

Her low cut dress was showing a good part of her large bosom and her sharp jaws gave her a seductive look too.

She was looking no less than the goddess of sex. Her black dress was so tight that it looked like another skin of hers and the slit was starting from her thighs, showing all her legs.

Though she had tanned skin, she looked so enchanting that even Anne, who did not care about looks much, felt envy.

Her dark wavy hair falling over her shoulders when she raised her head and looked at Anne as if shewas studying her.

“He is working with me. He is not in a mood to play with random girls so leave.” Anne was herself surprised that those words came out of her mouth when she felt the strong gaze of Declan looking at her with his mouth agape.

“What? Are you not going to work?” she raised a brow and asked in a provocation voice when he closed his mouth and shook his head.

“How can I dare! Of course I am working. Working! Eve, leave!” this time his voice was authoritative.

The woman clicked her tongue with the sound of “tsk!” but stood up.

But instead of leaving immediately, she stared at Anne.

“You are a witch.” she exclaimed after a few seconds. “But your powers.. Why did you smell like you have powers of a demon in you!”

“Eve leave this instant or i will kill you right here”
