"Don't you want to show the mark to the lord and gain his sympathy, my lady?" ha!
Who said that he would sympathize with her! He would just pass her a warm smile as if he cares but his eyes would fill with disdain that I could not even handle this much and yet I have dreams of survival!
She knew Rafael well! He would not care even if she would be burnt to death if he would not have any benefit from her life!
He was only letting her live because the matter is still in the eyes of the public and her death would affect his position as the head of the council that would control all three empires!
Humans, vampires and the coven of the witches!
"Have I given you the right to ask me back and decide in my stead?" the eyes were cold again and the maid flinched!
She was sure that when Hazel looked at her that way, she was no better than Rafael, who had the power to freeze her till death.
