“You know that lovers can kill for their love and not forget about the safety of their lovers!” he raised a brow looking at her arrogant face!

“Are you sure that he loves you? What if it was a figment of curiosity that died with your death!?” Of course, he did not love her but used her as a pawn! But she was not going to accept it anyhow!

“Do you want to try it at the risk of your death?” she challenged back as if she was not afraid of her death at all when his eyes turned darker!

It has been ages since someone had challenged him like that! A crazy smile formed on his face and her eyes shone with madness that Hazel felt the blood had already started draining from her body even when he had not even touched her!

Though they both were threatening each other, Natalie felt that there was more to it! The way Damien looked at her.. As if she was the only one that existed here!

He had completely forgotten about her presence and the reason why he was here in the first place. But should she remind him! What if his anger directed to her then?_.

“Cough! Cough!?” She cleared her throat a few times when Hazel finally turned to look at her but Damien was still only looking at Hazel that infuriated her.

“Since you are the one to negotiate on the deal, shall we start my lady?” Even if Hazel would decide, she just has to make sure that the deal will get successful.

Then the path would be formed from her estate and then she would find multiple chances of meeting Rafael as she was sure that he would come personally to inspect the area and would make a few rounds later.

“Yes, state to me your conditions and pass me the documents. I will study them today and reply to you in the morning!” a sarcastic smile formed on the face of Natalie when she realized that the girl was trying to buy time!

She must have said that she would handle the deal in jealousy but handling the work is not that easy!

“Why? If you need any help then I can explain to you the calluses!“ Like a kind person, she offered her hel0 with a smirk on her face but as if heard a joke, Hazel laughed and shook her head.

“It is not about understanding the clauses or the matter of file, my eyes are paining due to looking at an ugly frog for so long and i am feeling nauseated now!

I need rest, you can leave the palace. I will send a reply letter to your estate!” She picked up the file from the table and turned to leave when Natalie  ran and blocked her way.

“If you are tired, take a rest, my lady. But I can not go back without getting a reply! The hopes of my region would be broken if I returned empty handed!

So, I request you to wait here for your reply!” She held her dress in her hands and bowed her head as a harmless bunny that Hazel did not have any reason to refuse her.

If she would have commented, then Hazel would have thrown her out with her over dramatic acting but now that she was behaving so sweetly, she could not just insult a political opponent!

“Sure! It would be our honor to help a needy girl! Martha would show you the guest room!”

“…” needy! She replied as if Natalie is a homeless orphan girl who had nowhere to go! She wanted to shout and tell Hazel she was a homeless person in this empire but she drank her rage and nodded with a smile again as she vowed that she would teach a lesson to this arrogant bitch!

“Thank you, my lady!” bowing her head, she left with Martha and Hazel finally took a sigh of relief! It was terrible to act like trash all the time!

If it continued, she was worried that she would really change into a spoiled arrogant person who did not know anything but to create trouble.

“And here I thought that you would insult her again! Do you think she had decided to stay here because she wanted to wait for your reply! You are still a fool!” Hazel glared at the man who was shaking his head and feeling pity for her!

Why was he still here! She had thought that he left after getting insulted!

“Tell me Damien, are you a masochist?” she asked him with such a serious face that he was at a loss of words!

Once again the girl had been successful in making him speechless!

“What nonsense are you spouting now?” he glared at her as he reminded himself that he could not kill her this month!

They have to wait until she loses the curiosity and eyes of everyone!

“Or else why are you still here and trying to initiate a conversation with me when I have already insulted you every time you approach me!?

Do you not have any self respect or have you started enjoying the insults like a masochist that you are still standing in front of me!?” she eyed him as if he was a pitiful being that needed sympathy that a dangerous light passed his eyes.

His eyes glowed and she felt that his aura had changed and she should retreat before he lost his sanity and attacked her!

“Sigh! Even if you have so much free time, I still have work to do. So, you go and find someone else who fills your desire to be insulted!

Have a good day brother in law!” with that she held the file in her hands in a tight grip that her knuckles turned white.

‘Please spare me! Please spare me’ she had started to mutter when she felt a hands on her wrist and she was pulled back and her back hit the nearby pillar,

Her eyes widened as she stared at the night creature who had a cynical smile on his face!

“I have a good habit of returning whatever I get from another person, my lady! How can I keep your favor without giving you something in return!”
