"Hazel had asked you to follow me like that, didn't she?" Anne raised a brow when the smile of the man turned stiff.
He was not expecting a no noble girl to call Hazel with her name on her coronation day. If it had been in the past, he would have still digested it.
"My lady, you should be more.."
"Cut it out. Did she think that I like soft hearted people who lack backbone? Ha! To think that she would abuse you by using her powers. And here you are trying to protect her!" she shook her head and looked at the man as if he was suffering a lot.
The man did not know how to respond. Though she looked worried, her words did not sound like a compliment.

Hazel had offered him the title of a noble which he would not get from his family since he was not the eldest child.
But for that.. He had to win the heart of this woman.
