466 [Bonus chapter]

She did not hide or run away but walked towards Rafael who finally noticed her presence around him.

“You look upset. Did something happen?” she asked with a smile when he stared back at her for a few seconds but shook his head.

He held her by her waist but this time, she felt strange.

“No! Maybe I’m just missing you. You are too much indulged in the affair of your sister like a matchmaker.” he chuckled but she felt that it was forced.

She raised her head and wanted to stare at his face but he was leaning on her neck so she was not able to.

She shook her head, maybe she was thinking too much.

“Yes, but I think I am finally successful. They are spending time together and most probably in the room of an inn. So, I am done there. Do you want to spend time together in the same way?” Her voice was suggestive and the way she licked her lips at the end of her words, even a cold person could feel the heat.

But Rafael paused and then shook his head.

“Let’s keep it for the night. I have a matter to handle in the counseling today.” he let her go and then stood up straight and adjusted his clothes.

.....

She felt.. Strange! But still let the thoughts go.

“Oh! Is that so?” she asked with a sigh, “but i heard that Diana is planning a get together for both of us. She said that she had already asked you and you had said yes as long as i would join?” his face turned darker instantly but he hid his expression in the fraction of a second and smiled warmly.

But the time was enough for her to register the change.

“Oh, is that so? I must have forgotten then.” he said with a sigh, “i must have really been busy these days..”

Pulling his collar he smiled and then held her hands and started walking down the stairs.

“Since I have made two commitments, how about I go and finish my work faster and then come soon to have a picnic with you?” She did not care about the picnic at all.

But since when Rafael started to care about the council so much and why did he not offer to cancel the picnic?

“You do not need to hurry. If you are busy we can arrange for it some other day.” She assured him that he must be occupied so that such a simple thing did not cross his mind when he furrowed his brow and shook his head.

“How could that be? Since the commitment is already made, I must come. You do not need to worry, I will be back soon.” without waiting for her answer, he killed her forehead and then left from there.

She kept staring at the distance with a strange pressure on her chest as if something was gnawing her heart but she did not know exactly what was happening here.

There might be a chance that her mind was running way too much. But she still felt there was something wrong with Rafael.

“Your majesty,” she raised her head and looked at the maid who was waiting for her.

“Your majesty, count Saphiene wanted to meet you, he said that he had an urgent matter to discuss with you about the mine found in his fief.”

Count Saphiene. . he was the man who was the owner of Beryllium. Her whole face turned grim as she nodded her head.

“Send him to the meeting room, I will be joining in soon.” she ordered the maid who left with the nod of her head.

As Hazel stood up to follow the maid, she heard a few maid whispering to each other while cleaning the other area,

“I swore that I saw the vampire lord going to the room of the vampires in the middle of the night. And he did not come out till early morning. While your majesty was busy in meeting with those leechers, he was having fun with someone else. Poor lady!” her feet slowed and she wanted to go and scold them for spreading rumors when the other started too.

“I heard that Lady Diana was going to marry the lord when his last wife died but the war joined both of their fates. But when i saw them together when she had come here for the first time, i thought that rumors were wrong.

Who would have thought that the man was acting all this while.” she sighed as if she was the one who was facing a cheating husband.

Hazel stopped in front of the door for some reason. She was still feeling angry but now..

“It had nothing to do with us. As long as we work here and get paid for it. We should not care about them, these nobles had a messy life but vampires, they are worse. I have heard that many vampires have more than a thousand lovers even after having a wife while wives have affairs too.”

Both of them nodded as they bent to pick up the dirty clothes and cleaned the room when the maid who had come to call Hazel came back.

She looked at Hazel who was standing on the door with a dazed expression, with confusion.

“Your majesty, this is not the room where the count is waiting for you.” she explained softly wondering did she get lost when hazel blinked and looked at the maid again.

She started walking towards the meeting room but the words of the maids were running in her mind all the time.

“Do you know who was at night duty last time in my room?” the maid nodded her head,

“Yes, your majesty, it was Rose.”

“Rose!” Hazel paused, hesitating for a second when her hands clenched into a tight first, “ask her to meet me after this meeting” she asked when the maid nodded her head.

“And.. Do you know the maids in the room? Where were they posted last night?”
