"I wonder when was the last time you checked the mirror?" Hazel tapped her cheeks with a face full of disdain as if she was wondering how to describe her ugliness to her.
"You! How dare you?" This was the first time someone had called Venisa ugly! She had been one of the beauties in the noble circle with her dark hair and long face with luscious lips and big eyes.
yet the ugly duckling dared to call her the ugly one! How could she bear it!
But before her hand could touch Hazel two men came forward and covered hazel.
"Ha! To think that you can touch the empress! You are lunatic too!
What are you even thinking of impressing Rafael with, since you have neither beauty nor brain!" Hazel continued with a look full of arrogance.
Her voice had got the attention of many who thought that she was knowingly picking up a fight.
"You are flying so high because all the powers were given to you by lord! What are you without them?
At least, my father had a seat as a councilman and I am one of the esteemed students of the academy!" taking a deep breath to control her anger, Venisa replied in a cold voice showing the girl her true place!
Hazel very much wanted to tell her that she would have been a free spirited girl and enjoying the tea with Anne if she did not have Rafael in her life, but she knew he was watching her from a distance.
"True! But then.. Since I am already an empress, why would I care if my father is a councilman or not or have I been to an academy or not!
Could I not just get myself the highest degree with the position I have!" 'ha do you think i was one of the humble ones who would not flaunt her powers or money!?
"So you agree that you are running on his coattails but you are nothing without his name!? If you dare to fight me without these knights only then would it be fair!" challenged the girl with her eyes full of disdain but Hazel only chuckled as if she had heard the biggest joke.
"Oh my, what world are you living in Venisa? Not only are you ugly, lunatic but also naive?" she shook her head as if she could not believe it.
"The world has never been a fair place and why would I mind if I use the power of my husband? It is not like I am vying for someone else's husband like you!" She raised her head and then lowered it, giving one chance to Venisa from head to toe who was looking so furious that Hazel was sure the girl was already killing her in her mind!
One last blow would be enough for her to shut her mouth completely, right?
"In fact, if i want i can do anything in this whole continent let alone be this empire. Since my husband had the capability to protect me!
So, you better stay within your limits or I will ask him to rusticate your father from the position you are so proud of!" she flicked her hair with arrogance as she gave one last look to Venisa and turned to leave!
'I hope this would have been enough to win! The girl was looking stunned and ashen and was not able to reply in the end!' at least she had knights who would protect her even when they hated her!
Or else she was sure that the vampires would ponce on her and kill her that instant for insulting them like this!
She closed her eyes and shook her head to curb the fear when she felt that she hit herself with the wall!
"owwww"
"Strange! I am sure there was no wall just a minute ago!" she rubbed her nose, and opened her eyes to stare at the wall with death glare but her eyes widened when she met the glowing eyes of Rafael! It was looking like a blackhole that would suck her that instant.
"I am glad that my wife takes me strong like a wall!" she blinked when she heard his proud voice and pursued her lips.
"....." that was not even a compliment! What a narcissist!
Then he held her wrist and brought her closer to Venisa whose eyes were filled with bloodlust. If looks could kill, hazel would have already died many times.
It was taking all her strength to control herself and not to beat the so-called empress in front of everyone!
"Why are we going back to her, I have already insulted her enough that she turned tongue tied! I have won!" she whispered in a voice even lower than a mosquito since she knew that Rafael had the power to hear her even then.
She did not want to go and continue the charade! She already had enough of it!
"Oh love!" he whispered for everyone to hear as he looked at her with such a loving gaze as if he was mesmerized by her beauty.
"We have to settle the account since you have had an argument with my guest!" he pointed in an ambiguous voice that finally created hope in the hearts of the night creatures who were looking at Hazel with hatred and bloodlust.
When she picked up on Venisa, many of them wanted to go and tear her body into pieces but they knew that Rafael would kill them, so they did not dare to hurt her openly.
But that did not mean they would not make plans against her! They would wait for the right chance.
But when they heard Rafael, they smirked, now the girl would know she was being delusional.
'Settle accounts!' even hazel's eyes widened at the words! Could it be that he had tricked her into insulting a girl so that he could have a valid reason to kill her! Is that how the other empresses died!!!!????
'I am doomed!!!!!!'
