“Pardon?” taken aback, the physician looked back at her with confusion.

“What did you address me just now?” she asked with a look of agitation on her face.

She could still remember the dark scene she had seen in front of her eyes. The women with silver hair there had called her Isabella and addressed her as a bad Omen.

“My lady! What else can I address you as except my lady.” her brows made a deep frown as she was sure that she heard him calling her Isabella.

“My lady, you are looking tired. I would highly suggest that you take a rest and calm yourself.” Hazel looked at everyone around her as if waiting for one of them to tell her that the man indeed called her Isabella but no one said so.

In fact, they were looking at her as if she had lost her senses and turned into a crazy woman.

Had she really heard it wrong? Shaking her head, she let the thought go but thinking of sleeping again scared her._.

She did not want to have a nightmare again.

“I am better. I would like to have a meal first.” Using the plausible excuse, she turned to look at the maids and ordered them to prepare a bath for her and then bring her meal, who left hurriedly and so as the physician after giving her a few more instructions.

Once she was alone again, she stared at her wrists.

The woman had dragged her with her wrists and it had left marks in her hands but her hands were not injured at all.

Her fair skin was without a mark or blemish shining brightly despite the fact that she was sick. What was she even looking for?

Letting herself soak in warm water for a while and having a sumptuous meal, she tried to get rid of that dark nightmare.

“My lady, are you feeling better?” she turned to look at the maid, she had asked to find new maids too.

“Yes, I am much better than Jenna. Thank you. Have you completed the task I have given you.” feeling a bit better, Hazel knew that she had already lost time to prepare for her visit to her family.

And the incident that night had realized, that if the war ensued as Rafael had predicted, she would not be able to save herself. She was weaker than she had thought.

“Yes, my lady. I have contacted a few girls in my town. Though a bit scared, when I told them about their wages, they were eager to join.“ The greed in the eye of the girl was so clear that Hazel did not even need to put efforts in reading her thoughts.

With a smirk on her stern face, she nodded with a appreciative look in her eyes,

“That is good! You can bring them tomorrow. If they would be proven worthy to be appointed, not only they would receive a good salary but you will have a reward for your hard work too.

Keep working for me diligently, and I will make sure that you have a great future ahead.” with a bright smile on her face with the anticipation of having a good reward, Jenna nodded as she cut the biggest piece of cake for her dessert.

“What about the slave i have brought? Do you know anything about him?” just to think about it, Hazel realized she did not even know his name.

“I apologize, my lady. But maids are not allowed in the knights training area.” she had thought so, so she nodded in understanding while tapping her fingers on the table.

“Hmm, then I should take a walk and find myself!” the maid felt hesitated as she looked at her pleadingly.

“My lady, the lord..”

“Are you working for me or for the lord? Do not forget that or you will lose the position you are looking forward to.” one cold glare from Hazel and the maid shivered and bowed her head.

Satisfied with her expressions, Hazel stood up and started walking. To think that boy did not even ask for her after the argument of that day, had she been expecting too much from a slave?

When Rafael had told her that he would be his guard, she had thought that she could let her guards down, but that was not the case now.

Or should she start taking him with her whenever she goes out! Argh! Why has it been that keeping herself alive has become difficult recently?

She should have known that life could never be simple for her.

Just as she was walking forward while lost in her thoughts, she stopped abruptly as she felt something fall from the sky.

Her eyes widened when she saw that it was a cloaked man! Could it be that she was having a mercenary attack in the middle of the palace that was guarded by hundreds of vampires?

No! Her eyes narrowed as she stared hard at his body.

“What are you doing here? Are you trying to run away?” hearing her voice, the man took the position of kneeling and took off the cloak from his head.

“Mistress!” his eyes were filled with guilt but at the same time worry for her that made her chuckle, but her eyes turned cold.

The man trembled and lowered her head when she did not reply a word but stared at him coldly,

“I apologize for my insolent behavior, my lady. I deserve severe punishment.

I took your nice behavior for granted and forgot my place.

I am ready to sacrifice my life as punishment!” tsk! How troublesome!

“Wouldn’t taking your life would be a loss for me. After all, I have paid so much for you but have not taken any benefit from you.

I do not do deals that bring me loss!” the man raised his head and stared into her eyes as he nodded, with a gloomy look in his eyes that made her confused,

“Then, I will serve you well tonight, my lady.”
