Chapter 136 [Bonus chapter] Build Network
====================
“What did you think? I did not notice how your face scrunched up and you ran to avoid my presence. I am a hurt princess. I think we are developing a friendship.
I had even thought I would tell you how much I missed you!” just why! Why did this vampire not leave her alone?
Most of the time, she felt like he was trying to find entertainment in her just like Rafael.
The only difference was he took an active part in the show while Rafael liked to stay in the background and enjoy as a spectator!
Wait, why was she comparing both of them! As if she had eaten something she could neither swallow or spit, her face turned ugly and her cheeks puffed up..
“You do not need to worry about me so much. I have a big heart so I would forgive you. But that does not mean I am not hurt!” he held his chest as his face filled with disappointment as he leaned his head back on the bench and raised his head to look at the sky in a dramatic way that Hazel rolled her eyes.
She did not understand the intentions of this man at all. And though he behaved like he cared for her. He did not believe that he was a kind man.
His mysterious eyes and crook smile gave her a scary vive a few times.
Though he was handsome and sexy, he was just the bad boy mothers asked their daughters to stay away from but why did he linger near her?
“So, if you treat me fairly, I will teach you any weapon you want. You may not know but I am a good knight too!” Hazel wanted to tell him that she knew and good would be quite an understatement.
He was one of the strongest men only second to Rafael and had killed hundreds of humans alone in the war.
He could kill most of the vampire with the snap of his fingers and that was the reason she was wary of him.
He was too strong. If he and the slave had a fight, she did not know who would win and she could not even fathom him fighting with Rafael, though she had seen a glimpse of it.
“And what if the catch, why would you do it for me?” Her eyes stilled on the man, scanning his whole face as if she would continue staring at him, she would be able to look into his heart and find out what his crazy mind was planning.
“What is with that look? Haven’t I told you to behave nice with me as my condition? Why are you looking at me as if I would ask for something indecent. Or….” he turned to look at her with a meaningful smile on his face when he leaned closer making her shuffle on her seat to go further away from him.. “You want me to demand indecent things from you?”
Stunned by the look on his face, her eyes widened and she stood up abruptly trying to leave.
Why was it that she did not have any place in such a large palace where she could sit and enjoy her peacetime with so many flies around us.
“What.. What nonsense are you spouting this time? Of course, I want to learn weaponry but it does not mean that I will promise something to you in exchange which I have no knowledge about!”
“I want nothing! So it is on you if you want to accept the offer or not. I am tired, so now I shall go and rest!” The feeling of falling into his trap was so strong but she could not deny the fact that she could not get a better master than him.
“Fine! I accept. But if you try to do anything funny, I will not let it go!” she could see the smirk forming on his face and it only irritated her as she felt that even after knowing that it could be a trap she had fallen straight into it.
“You can trust me princess. After all, we are family!” His soft whispers were completely opposite to the crooked smile on his face as he chuckled and finally left from there with a satisfied look on his face as if he had achieved what he had come for.
Strong! She wondered how strong she could be if he would be the one to teach her but she had to give her best before they went back to her empire.
There, it would be decided if she would survive or be sacrificed.
But would that be enough? She didn’t even know how the conditions were out of the four walls that were protecting her.
What if it was all an illusion that she was looking at!
She would not die like a fool without knowing what she was fighting for. But who would be her ears and eyes, since she could not trust any news brought by the maids that belong to this palace, not to her!
That was right! Maids!
“Emma, Jenna!” She called out in a soft voice as she was sure that even if she could not see them, they all were nearby and as she had expected, as soon as the words left her mouth, two maids came out of the trees in the corner.
“Yes, my lady!”
“How many of my maids have been killed since I came here?” surprised with the sudden question, they both turned to exchange glances and then replied in a hesitating voice.
“Three of them are killed, my lady with only two of us are left but lady Diana is your lady in waiting too if you need any assistance!” the one who did not even show her face often! Hazel sneered at the name of the vampiress who had her own tricks and secrets and she would rather die than trusting her.
“Hmmm, then it is time that we hire a few maids to alleviate your pressure and at the same time both of you should be rewarded to stay loyal to me and serve me diligently even in so much pressure!”
