BXBX NOVEL Chapter 397
Chapter 397 – Who Are You?
“Of course, but the condition is you have to keep your words in mind when the result is announced.” she said as she raised her glass to him but the man just smirked wider and nodded his head.
Though he was not able to kill her, there was no way that he was going to lose it to her. She would see how he was going to rise high to the post of the ruler instead of her.
“All the hunts have been counted and the adjustments are made. The winner of the hunting competition is decided on the strong and rigid counts with propeller calculations.” many held their breath while looking at the man.
It was not just a competition of hunting but the basis of deciding the new ruler. They were holding their breath unconsciously for the result while staring at the two men from the council.
“And the winner of this hunting contest is.. Lady Hazel O Casanovia.”
“…..” bang! The news was no less than a slap in the face for the people who were waiting for her downfall.
Her hair was disheveled and there was blood on her lips, she looked a complete warrior as she walked forward and took the small trophy in her hands.
Many were looking at her with eyes full of hatred, envy or rage but every eye was on her.
She held the trophy in her hands for a second before passing it to Rafael who was standing behind her and then walking towards the duke whose face had turned red.
“I know that you would be embarrassed but who would have thought that your face would turn completely red. What happened, do you want to apologize now to make sure that your position as the duke would stay intact or I did not forget my previous plan of giving you a post in my palace after I became the emperor!?” she asked with a smirk on her face.
Her eyes were fierce as if she was ready if he attacked her suddenly but the man just gritted his teeth and left from there under the keen eyes of everyone.
Many men who were not sure about the duke anymore stored and analyzed the situation. While a few of them decided to follow the duke, many realized that he was a sinking ship.
They bite their lips and chew their old insults as they walk towards her with a smile on their faces.
“Congratulate princess! I have prayed that you return safely and I am glad that it worked.” said the daughter of the count with a bright smile on her face as if she was the one behind her success.
“Yes, I knew from the start that the lady would win. I have seen her with her crossbow.” said another with a smile on her face.
Soon the congratulations started to increase with their flowering words and flatteries.,
Rafael held the glass for her in his hands while standing behind her without saying a word. But still it was a great support.
Those who wanted to go against her did not dare to play any tricks in the presence of Rafael who was guarding her silently.
Many were stunned to see the beasts she had killed alone. It must have been hard but for her to achieve it in such a short time, how strong was she?

“I am glad that you won, my lady. I always wanted you to win so that you would take the position of ruler!”
“Yes, in fact, I have even planned the whole new structure when you would sit in the position.” said the marquis with a faltering smile on his face.
Many nodded and came forward with their own ideas. Those who thought that the duke was a strong contender were happy that Hazel was winning.
For them, she was a foolish girl with no experience in political affairs. She killed so many beasts alone to prove that she was so strong? So what!
The position of the emperor is not mostly about brawns but brains. If she couldn’t handle the tricks and manipulations, then she was bound to be a puppet of their hands.
The thought comforted them as their smile widened and they nodded their head when she said anything. They did not care what she was speaking., it was her day, soon theirs would come.
“Since you all are so excited and relieved that i won, i will expect your support in your actions too!” proud that they were able to fool her, they nodded without much prior thought when the girl smirked.
“Then I will expect all of you to support me during the final meeting to announce the winner. Your votes matter much to me. I will support those who supported me first, so you do not need to worry.” she said with a meaningful simile on her face.
That was the reply they needed. They exchanged glances with each other and then nodded in her direction.
Since they could not get anything from the duke, the offer was good enough.
Many said a few more words to her before leaving her alone. She smiled as she had achieved a lot for her master, she was sure Hazel would be impressed later by her performance.
With that thought he laughed and turned. Now that she had handled everything here, she needed an excuse to leave.
Her mistress would be waiting for her in the woods.
But just as she had taken a single step, Rafael blocked her path.
Her eyes narrowed at the man when she realized that she was looking at him coldly, Hazel never did that. She adjusted the smile on her face and softened her expressions.
“Yes, honey!” her voice was sweeter than honey when the man smiled warmly and hugged her.
“Your acting is too lousy. Who are you and where is Hazel? If you try to play smart, I will kill you right here. Tell me the truth if you still want to live!”
