472 [Bonus chapter]

“You know that she is a witch?” Rafael stared at the head of a council, the man just working under him as if he was a fool!

“Did I choose you mistakenly, Michael? She is my wife.” as if the line was enough explanation. Michael could only bow his head and nod.

But for some reason, Hazel felt better when she heard that. She did not need to go to that record room to know the truth.

She had complete faith in Rafael. He looked at her smiling face with a raised brow but did not ask her anything.

“So, the mine has collapsed but there are still a few witches that had a large amount of beryllium that could burn the whole empire!” he said, getting both of their attention when Michael nodded his head readily.

“It could be human too who had bribed a few guards and went in.” Hazel intertwined but he shook his head.

“Even if the guards had been bribed, say all of them. Even then taking out beryllium without the knowledge of council is impossible for humans. There are too many checkpoints around that area where the carriages are checked even if they belong to the royal family.” his grim voice warned her to stay silent so she nodded her head even when she had a few questions in her mind.

“Hazel, you should go home and rest. I will be back soon.” he kissed her forehead when she frowned.

In the past when she was unaware of her powers, he had taken her to various missions and now that she held power and piston, he was asking her to leave.

.....

“But Rafael, as the emperor of this…”

“Ah, do not worry, we will inform you the moment we will find anything so that you can handle your duties well. I will talk to you further about it when I come home. Okay?” he rubbed her cheeks softly as he assured her when she felt the same uneasiness returning.

She was sure that he was hiding something while looking into his eyes but when she felt the gaze of Micheal, she could only nod and leave.

The carriage was already waiting for her near the door. She could still hear their faint voices as they discussed the case, and she felt her heart being heavier.

She still walked and sat in the carriage with her head raised high but it was so stiff.

“Thank goodness we are alone to discuss the matter now…” these were the last words that fell into her ears before the carriage started and she closed her eyes.

“Take me to the house of marquis Lucio.” she commanded as she tapped on the window between her and the coachmen.

“But my lady, the lord had asked me to take you home so that you can rest.” he said in a hesitant voie when she raised her brow.

“Are you defying my orders now?” Her words were threatening when the man panicked and shook his head.

“No! Not at all, my lady.” he pulled the reins of the horse and changed the path of the carriage.

In a few minutes they reached the palace of the marquis. The door of the palace opened without being asked and the carriage moved in.

She could see a few of the men and women pause and stare at the carriage with wide eyes.

As her carriage stopped and she walked out with the help of the footmen, the main door of the palace opened and Lucio personally walked out with a few elders following him closely.

He bowed his head and held her hands as he kissed the back of it gently,

“Your majesty, I did not know that you were going to come or I would have planned a better welcome.” he said in a voce full of dejection when she smiled and stared at the elders who were giving her a flattering smile.

“This is already enough. I was passing through the region after meeting the council when I recalled that I had asked you to show me your new plans on how you are going to mingle among humans.

Since I felt that the matter was urgent, I decided to check it personally since the truth is still hidden.” she nodded at the elders who understood the meaning behind her words and nodded instantly.

Their grim faces relax a bit.

“You should not have worried, your majesty. We are handling the matter well.” assured one elder with a proud look on his face. “We have already started cleaning the impure blood and witches were taking their place to live in the abandoned areas.” he said with an arrogant look on his face when the other nodded.

“Yes, we are offering a good compensation or a new place to live to them too. So they are happy to leave.” explained another as they started walking in when she nodded her head.

“That is good. As long as both parties are happy and living well. I did not mind their leaving. In fact, I am thinking of finding a proper occasion to announce that I am a witch too.

It will give strength to our hidden covens.” her words brought a look of shock but they all smiled happily satisfied with her decision.

“That would bring the end to all of your problems. In fact, it would be better that you divide the whole country into two parts. One for us and one of them.

If you are worried about ruling, then you do not need to think much about it. We will gladly take that role and manage the unity of all the covens.” she was sure they would more than be happy by gaining so much power.

“That will be a big decision but I will surely think about it seriously. How about each of you present me a proposal now that I am here.” she offered when all of them who were holding a chair to sit with her in the office paused and their eyes gleamed.

They exchanged glances and nodded their heads.

“Then excuse me, your majesty. We will come with a plan.”
