BXBX NOVEL Chapter 421
Chapter 421 – With Another Man?
“I can not believe that she had that power in the underworld.” Declan stared at the crowd and then looked at himself standing in the corner wearing a suit.
“Did he just tell me to go and congratulate her on getting the throne when she was trying to kill just a few days ago.” he shook his head with disbelief. His master had gone crazy.
He had broken the heart of a young girl for this. Not that he cared about it. But still!
He had just refused to see her again two days ago, and now he was standing here with flowers in his hands for congratulating her.
He wanted to shout out loud about this absurdity. For some reason he was on edge.
His sixth sense was telling him he should not be here and asking him to run away.
He was on his toes all this time. Master has only told him to congratulate her with flowers, right?
He would throw the bouquet in her hands and leave as soon as she would come. He nodded his head at that thought.
But why was she not here yet? He looked at the stairs again with a look of impatience. But this time he was not able to take his eyes away.
In front of him was Anne!! She was wearing a red gown that was suiting her lean figure. Most of the time, she wears those dull white baggy clothes that truly hide her assets.
And her silver hair.. That was flowing with the air. They looked completely mesmerizing. For some reason he was not able to take his eyes away from her face.
She looked so damn beautiful, no! Beautiful word did not even do justice with her.
His body froze and he forgot why he was here. He.. missed her?
No! The thought trembled him and he looked away suddenly. He had nothing to do with her. It was just an official task when he approached her.
It had nothing to do with him. He looked away but his eyes kept stealing a look of hers.
She walked down poised and smiled at men. Did she need to give such hints to those lecherous men?
Could she not see how they were looking at her.
He kept trailing her with his eyes that he did not notice when Hazel came down from the stairs and many went to congratulate her.
She smiled with a tilt of her head to many. But her eyes kept scanning the whole hall.
He must be here by now!
“Congratulations for finally getting your rightful place, my lady.”
“Congratulations, now I can finally call you, your majesty.” they all smiled as they wished her when she bowed her head slightly.
Her eyes twinkled when she finally noticed Declan standing in the corner. He was talking to someone but his eyes were looking at Anne again and again and a wide smirk formed on her face.

“Would you please excuse me.” She bowed her head a bit in front of Rafael who raised a brow but did not let her go immediately.
“I will be back sooner than you will expect.” she muttered softly as she glared at him and he finally sighed and let her go.
“I expect you to never leave my side though.” he whispered to make her chuckle when she turned and kissed his lips.
The kiss was short and he lost the warmth of her lips before he could even intensify it.
When she looked at his narrowing gaze on her face as if he knew that she was messing with his brain, she laughed again and shrugged her shoulders.
“Thought it would help!” with that she turned to leave leaving grumbling Rafael behind.
Once she was gone, many approached him with an anxious look on their faces.
they went to confirm their benefits now.
“My lord, I have received your letter when you had sent me to come for the voting day. It stated that.. Haha! I just wanted to confirm that it was written by you and not a fraud?” said the count with a flattering smile on his face.
He was not trying to hide that he had received a tempting offer from others in case he could know if they had got one too.
“Yes, my lord. I was so surprised to receive such a good offer that, like a fool, I did not even confirm it. But I am sure if it came from the lord, I did not need to worry about it.” need to worry about it?
Worry was clear in their faces. Like ants they had come to get the benefits. They did not care which side they were on if they were given benefits.
That day too. When the council decided to have voting, he just wrote a letter to them and they all changed their support from the duke to Hazel. Pathetic greedy men that did not care about loyalty and affection.
“Since you are assured, why do you need to ask?” he said with a small laugh as he looked down at them.
The smell of greed was reeking from them, making him nauseated.
“Once she will sit on the throne and start making decisions by herself, she will look into your needs too. You do not have anything to worry about.” a smile bloomed on their faces with assurance and they all nodded their heads severely.
“Of course, we knew that we could trust my lord.” They bowed their heads and toasted a glass of wine to him and drank it all to show their gratitude.
He nodded back at them before leaving from there. His face had a smile but his eyes were cold.
He was looking into the distance when he found Hazel standing in the balcony with a man and his eyes narrowed when she hugged him.
The atmosphere around him turned cold immediately as he took hurried steps towards the balcony when he heard her.
“I know that you will realize your love. But it is sooner than i expected. Now how are you going to win over huh?”
