Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Yes, but not to my room. We are going to the empress office!!" but before she could take even a step further, all of the maids blocked her way with deathly pale faces.

"We can not go there without permission, my lady!"

"Yes, how about you wait here and I will go and ask Lady Scarlet about it!"

Hazel's eyes turned cold looking at their fearful eyes, she raised a brow and crossed her hands over her chest.

"And who do you think Scarlet is.. I am the empress and I did not need anyone's permission to go anywhere, especially to my own office.

Even i want to see who dared to stop me!" She started so hard with her cold eyes that they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak another word when she walked away from there.

It took them a few seconds to come back to their senses and follow her with hurried steps in case they would be blamed later.

Hazel took slow but confident steps towards the door which was guarded by two knights on both sides while the sound of laughter could be heard from inside.

Her steps halted when she realized that Rafael was in there too. What if he would think that it was a breach of the contract between them as he had not ordered her to take over the position of empress, but the doubt stayed only for a few seconds before she took a deep breath and braced herself for consequences!

"My lady, you can not go in!" The knights blocked her way with some hesitation.

Though they knew that she was the empress, everyone knew that Rafael had not passed her a single glance once the councilmen left.

She was nothing but a decorative piece now while Scarlet held all the power.

Even a fool would know whose side they have to take.

"I wonder if all the staff of the palace had gone blind or crazy?

Do you even know who I am?" she raised her voice a bit as she stared at the knights with cold eyes.

They exchanged glances but did not leave the way.

"My lady, we did not want to insult you, but Lady Scarlet had ordered us to not let anyone come in until my lord and his.. His new lover is inside the room!"

"......." new lover! How many women covered him all the time? Such a casanova!

"I do not think that a mere assistant to the crown had the right to decide whether the empress can go in and out of her office or not!

If you stopped me one more time, I would make sure to punish you for it on the basis of treason!"

"......" treason! They still remembered how the chief knight disappeared overnight after he had insulted her on the first day she had come here.

With some hesitation, and confusion they left her way, and she entered the room full of arrogance.

"What are you doing here?" Even though she had already heard the voice of Hazel, Scarlet was still shocked that Hazel was able to enter.

She had to go and teach knights a lesson to know where their loyalty should belong.

"I am claiming everything that belongs to me!" Hazel scanned the room and her eyes halted at Rafael who was looking at her with bored eyes.

A young human girl was standing beside him and looking at hazel with provoking eyes but hazel just rolled her eyes in exchange!

Giving them a single glance, Hazel truend away and walked towards the chair of the head which was empty at that time since all of them were having snacks while sitting on the sofa.

"What do you think you are doing?" Scarlet stood up abruptly as she glared at the girl who was brazenly taking what was hers.

Hazel sighed as she shook her head and looked at Scarlet with a tired look in her eyes,

"Oh my dear aunt, I think you are getting on your age! Are your ears not working or do you have problems remembering things that were said just a few seconds ago!

Shall I call a physician to look for you or why did you not hear that I am claiming my position!" This time her voice was so chilly and the aura was looming over her body that the staff took a step back!

"Don't tell me that you ever forget I am the empress of the empire while you are just a relative who leech on their family.

I wonder why you even live here. Did your husband leave you due to your ugliness?

Even if you are ugly, at least, you could have a good attitude, but you do not even have that!

Sigh! I can not blame him for what he had done!" she shook her head as if she was feeling pity, not on the lady but on her husband!

"What nonsense are you spouting now? How dare you!" She took a step further to snap her long neck but Rafael raised his hands and stopped her.

"Rafael! What are you…" even if he needed the girl alive, she could still teach her a lesson without killing her completely.

First of all she would cut her tongue that spouts so much nonsense!

Scarlet was fuming with anger as she stared at her nephew with killing intent in her eyes.

"She is the empress!" His soft voice stunned everyone in the room. Even Hazel, who was ready to put on a strong fight, was shocked when she heard him.

"What did you say?" Scarlet could not believe her ears, she must have heard wrong!

How could he take her side!

Rafael looked at her with a face full of sympathy…

"No wonder, she thought that you were ill! You need rest, Scarlet!

You are working hard for so long! Let her work while you take rest and nurse back to your health. After all she is the empress!"
