BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 [Bonus chapter] Ruins
“Is that so? Then I want to prepare you all the dresses of the catalog and I will choose one that would match my mood at that time!”
The stunned designer was so shocked. The count had asked her to fluster the woman. That was why she had brought all the catalogs of the boutique. It would take a year to prepare all the dresses.
How in the world could she make them by the night. But what if she would really go and inform the lord that she had refused to tend to her wishes and the lord would decide to punish her accordingly.
She gulped her own saliva as she stared at the woman who had a smirk on her face as if telling that she had caught her in her own game.
She knew that acting was not a solution anymore and her eyes turned pitiful instantly.
“My lady. I know that I was being a bit rude, but please have mercy on me. How could I make so many dresses in such a short period of time?
The fabric and gems used in making those designs are completely different and more than 10 labor was needed for a single dress to ready it in such a short period of time..
Please have mercy, my lady!” the women held herself tightly as she knew begging from her would not work,
Hazel’s eyes did not soften even when she looked so pitiful. The woman was sharper than the rumors who said that she only knew how to throw the tantrum.
But more than that, she looked like she knew she had powers and did not fail to use them to crush the enemies.
“Well, how about I make half a dozen dresses of the best quality. Then, you will be able to choose any of them easily.
What do you say, my lady??” with a flattering smile on her face she picked up the confusing catalog and took out six best designs that would suit her height and personality and presented it to hazel.
A smirk formed on the face of hazel. She knew that making so many dresses was impossible. She had only said so, so that she could have a good amount of dresses without being asked.
And in the end, the woman bargained to save her neck from Rafael ending up doing what hazel wanted.
Now that she looks at it, the dresses designer had chosen this time were really elegant and sophisticated instead of a lot of gems and to show off that she had presented her earlier.
“Fine, since I am a kind person, I will take your offer. But if you failed to complete your promise.. You must know how my husband handles failure!” the designer shuddered just with the thought of it.
Whole empire knew that Rafael loves killing. He had killed more people than they had said hello to!
“Yes, my lady. I understand. Then I will take my leave!” Hazel nodded as she stood up from her seat too.
Why did she feel that she had started enjoying these flustered women more and more. Was she really turning into a vile and evil witch?
With a chuckle she shook her head as she walked out just to meet a knight waiting for her.
“My lady, are you done with your meeting?” a frown formed on her lips as she felt that the man was probing into her personal affairs unnecessarily.
“What does it have to do with you! I would spend more time here and enjoy my tea!” Though she was planning to go back to her room, when she remembered that Rafael’s cold eyes were going to stare at her every move as if she was going to mix poison in his drink was rather annoying.
“Oh! My lady, my lord had asked me to infirm him why you are free and escort you where he is immediately.
He is waiting for you all this time?”
“,…….” tsk! The knight was talking like Rafael was in love with her and could not stay without her even for a second!
She wanted to scoff but as the good wife, who loved her husband equally. She smiled warmly.
“Is that so? Then you should have told me so earlier. Where is my lord? I would go and meet him immediately!” and then drop on the bed and act dead so that he would not be able to talk to me.
She muttered under her breath as she smiled at the man again.
“Yes, my lady. The lord is waiting for you in the backyard garden!” or not! Where would she find a bed in the backyard?
With a gloomy look on her face, Hazel followed the knight.
The scenery was beautiful and the flowers were in full bloom making the place a valley of spring. But after staying in the imperial palace for so long, Hazel felt all these sceneries were rather ordinary.
Just as she took steps towards him, she felt that the atmosphere was strange as if they were discussing the death of someone.
Even the number of knights was more than they had before. Only Rafael was looking at ease while everyone was looking like they were being forced to fight a war with a neighboring country.
Her frown only grew deeper with the look on their face as she reached them.
“Ah, you are here! We have been waiting for you for a long time, I thought it would take you all the time before coming here!” the way his soft voice lingered into the room, it would be no less than a musical instrument that would bring in joy on everyone’s face but her face only turned ugly knowing that he was waiting for her.
“Did you need me for something, my lord?” ignoring the sarcasm in his voice, she bowed her head as she could not treat him badly in front of so many knights who had their own sword. She should stay silent until she gets a proper chance.
“Yes, we were going to the ruined lands. And I want you to come with me!”
