Chapter 437 – Meeting Her Killer Again

“Do you want to have a drink?” Rafael took out the vintage wine Albert had gifted him.

He had taken it out last night too but then he got busy with having Hazel and drank her blood later. So, the desire to have wine after drinking her never happened.

They slept later since she was too drained. And since morning, she was busy handling meetings.

Sigh! If he had known that she was going to be that busy, then he would have refused to help her when she had asked to be the empress.

Now he was only waiting for her to transfer the duty to someone else so that they could return to their home and take rest.

Hazel turned to look at his dark eyes and shook her head. If she would drink with him, she was only going to end up in bed getting devoured by him in the name of getting drunk.

Not that she would not like it, but she wanted to wait for Anne to return and know what happened.

She was still not sure about her decision to bring Declan back. She sighed just by thinking about it.

“Stop worrying about her. She is not a kid.” he chided as he held the file open in front of her and turned it upside down.

Hazel looked at the letters that were only readable now. She was holding the file wrongly all this time.

“You can not take her decision and you can not decide her happiness. Let her be the one to decide Hazel. Anne is a hundred years old.“ Hazel closed her eyes and nodded her head.

“But that does not mean I am going to bed with you for now. I have things to do.” he looked at her with resentment as if she was hurting him when she looked away.

She knew that if she kept looking at him, he would convince her somehow.

“Those witches.. You have already given them what they wanted. Then why are they coming here to meet you? It just did not make any sense. More than that, I can smell the discord among them. If you chose Luhan to be the leader, those old dogs were going to complain about it anyway.” he said with a scoff as he picked up the file of Luhan.

She had already given him a province large enough to have five towns in it that also had two fertile towns that were prosperous enough to handle the expenses of all the area easily.

“Hmm, I want to end the argument once and for all. Then I would be able to leave this place easily.” she said while leaning on his chest.

​ His sour face beamed immediately. So, that was it! They would leave earlier than he had thought then..

“Diana is coming back with Scarlet too.” he started slowly when she raised her hand and stared at him.

“I had to check the reports and Scarlet offered that she would be able to explain the matters better than a simple messenger. I need those details.“ Hazel nodded.

She was already selfish to keep him with her all the time. How could she expect that he would break the relationship with his family and leave them for her.

He had work to do too.

“Then, how about you attend a meeting with Scarlet and Diana while I will handle the matter of Luhan once for all. And then we can leave for our room and enjoy the wine you were offering?” her voice was sensuous and the way she played with the buttons of his shirt, his eyes turned darker and he nodded his head.

She could see the desire filling his eyes and chuckled. Only last night.. They had done the need more than thrice but she was not the one to complain. She enjoyed the desire he showed for her.

She wrapped her hands around his neck and lowered his head for a bit before kissing him and licking his lips.

When the door opened by the knight to inform them about the presence of Luhan and Diana with Scarlet, they stumbled upon the scene of hot and sensuous kiss among them.

Both parties could see them kissing each other from the small opening of the door burning them.

Hazel was the first to end the kiss as she felt the presence of others in the room when the face of Rafael darkened again.

He looked at the knight only once but the man shivered. He bowed his head instantly.

“I.. I knocked for a long time, my lord and thought that there was no one in the room, so I was just checking if.. I apologize, I will go and get myself whipped ten times immediately. ” he said with a stuttering voice when he felt that he was not able to breathe at all.

“Make it hundred!” said Rafael, not even buying any of his excuses, but still the knight was relieved that he was able to save his life.

“No! Ten is enough, you can leave and ask the guests to wait in our meeting rooms separately.” Hazel glared at Rafael who was sulking like a kid as she stood up from his laps.

He held her hands for a few seconds before letting her go properly,

“If you would not satisfy me tonight, I am going to burn all the paper and hunt every member who will come to meet you.” he threatened in a husky voice that she laughed.

Sometimes, he behaved just like a kid, and as the day passing, he became too addicted to her. Not that was complaining, she nodded as she walked towards the door and opened it when her eyes met with Scarlet.

For her fierce personality and hatred for Hazel, her eyes were surprisingly calm and there was even a smile on her face.

“It is nice to see you in power Hazel, finally you are able to meet our standards.”

“…….”
