Chapter 66 The odd lunch
“That..” ‘just how many people have been killed here and by whom?’
“By the way, I did not know that we are having guests! Or I would have come earlier and helped you in hosting lunch, my lady!
Since you have taken empress duties, you must know their responsibilities!
Welcoming and attending guests and hosting lunch and dinner for them!
But I know that you are still young and learning slowly. So, you can watch me for now and try to take pointers!” The question died in her mouth as the topic of conversation changed instantly and she was not able to care about the vampires that had already died a long time ago!
She should rather care about herself who is still alive and have to deal with all of them to keep her safe!
Though it would sound like Diana was taking care of her flaws and helping her in growing up, in reality, she was trying to show that Hazel only knew how to take powers but did not have any idea about fulfilling the responsibility!.
She was just a kid who wanted to throw a tantrum! If she would deny and inform me that she could handle things better, then it would be a lie, since she had no idea on how to deal with the duties of the empress!
She didn’t even know that she had to arrange the meal for the guests! She had thought that the staff would take care of it!
Truth to be told, after the strangling event, she even forgot about the existence of Natalie! Her body was trembling and she was having a hard time concentrating on other things!
But if she would accept or stayed silent then it would be accepting that she did not know how to be the empress and would let Diana handle matters while she, like a spoiled kid, would enjoy only the powers!
No matter what she would choose, she was about to lose the battle!
‘Argghhh’ she shouted hard in her heart as she only wanted to go and sleep in her room. Yet she was here, sitting with them trying to fight a battle she did not even know the reason for!
And all these blood suckers keep throwing new challenges on her every time they meet!
Wait! Her eyes flickered as a smirk formed on her lips when she recalled, she was not here to be the prefect empress at the first place!
She was here to be a wicked woman no one could mess with!
“Oh my, you should not take too much responsibility just after coming back! After all, with your age, ample rest should be needed!” the smile on the face of Diana froze and her ruby eyes glimmered with viciousness!
“And as far as hosting a lunch! I would have done it if we had guests! But I thought the lady would have left since my lord had specified it clearly, he would not interfere in the matter! I will handle it!
And I told her I needed a few days to study the files! And a smart and busy person would have taken the hint and would have left only to contact me again after a few days!
Who would have thought that lady Natalie would stay and even invite herself for lunch!
If I knew that you are so desperate to have a meal in the palace, I would have organized it in the garden where you could have enjoyed the music and a bit of warmth over your skin on the cold day!” they all turned to stare at her when the last line left her mouth!
It was not a hidden fact that vampires did not have an affinity to the sun! To specify it, she was surely pointing them out as inferior!
“My father would not be satisfied if I returned without a reply, my lady!
I know that you didn’t have much idea and my lord is a bit occupied with other promises, so i would just wait!” controlling the glare in her eyes, Natalie replied with a fake political smile on her face without showing a hint of anger in being called an uninvited guest!
“Hmm, I already understood that! As I said , only a busy person would have left! But now that you are here, enjoy your time!
I will give you a reply before night!” sigh! Now she had to go and study that damn file to keep her away from the lord or she would fail the task!
But how in the world would she know what Rafael wanted and what his conditions were with just a piece of file! It was cheating!
“Tonight!” the girl was startled as she repeated the words! Hadn’t Hazel asked for a time of a few days!
She was thinking of utilizing it to go closer to the lord and gain his favor!
“Yes, since you are so worried about your father’s reaction! How could I keep him and you waiting?” She started with a sweet voice as she stared at the beautiful face of the girl who was struggling to keep a smile on her face!
“Moreover! I will not be able to handle the ugliness for long!” she shook her head as if she was feeling nauseated just by looking at her!
Her face that was trying so hard to hold on broke with a ugly glare but Hazel ignored it as if she could not see the changes!
With that she turned to stare at the man who was silent this whole time. When their eyes met, she trembled as if she had seen her death in his eyes. With that cold look on his face, he looked no less than a demon that had come straight out of hell.
Not to forget that his red eyes were too apt to terrify her every time,
“My lord, I wanted to spend some personal time with you to feel better after this odd lunch!”
