Chapter 417
The knock on the door woke Hazel up. She looked around in a state of daze. It has been days since she had slept for so long.
Her eyes were still blurred when the door knocked again.
“My lord, I think the lady is resting. Why don’t you co later?” she heard the maid asking again in an apologetic way but her words only perked up at words “my lord”
‘Was he finally here?’ Hazel wanted to sit and talk to Rafael. No! She wanted to get laid with him and forget about all her worries.
She stood up from the bed and walked towards the door when she noticed her clothes were all ssier and crumpled.
Her hair was disheveled and she looked like a crying ss.
The condition of the room was no better. The marking of the ritual and the gale created by it had burnt everything around.
That way, he would realize that she was up to sothing.
She frowned and then snapped her fingers.
Things started to fly and reach their original place while the burnt things started to turn anew.
In the end, she snapped her fingers again while closing her eyes.
Her disheveled hair was tied into an elegant bun. And her dress changed and turned into a new one.
Her face that was full of stains of tears were cleared too as if she had just taken a bath.
Sweet fragrance of flowers started to co from her body.
When the door knocked again, this ti the maid refused again and the person on the door was about to leave when she coughed and fixed her posture on the chairs and opened a file in her hands.
“Co in!”
There was a second of stillness on the other side of the door before it opened and a maid ca in.
“My lady, there is a councilman waiting outside. He said that he wanted to et you for a matter related to your coronation.”
“…” oh! So, they were talking about another noble councilman.
Stupid! There were many who were addressed as lord! What was she even thinking?
She was just being desperate for a night full of wildness that the thought did not even cross her mind.
She laughed in an embarrassed way. She wanted to refuse the person but now that she had already invited the maid in, it would be rude.
It would have been better that she would have continued sleeping. She nodded her head slightly.
“Alright! Send him in.” she nodded and the maid left with a bow of her head.

Soon, Albert walked in with a flattering smile on his face.
“My lady! I hope I have not disturbed your rest ti.” he said with a soft voice as he walked in. “I was not expecting you to call here instead of the eting room or waiting room of the lady.”
That is when she realized that it was her bedroom. She wanted to slap herself now.
He looked around but there was no awkwardness on his face so she feigned ignorance.
“Yes, I was studying my file here and i do not think that you will take much ti for to walk to and from the eting room. Right?” she asked with an indifferent and arrogant voice when the face of the man stiffened.
He nodded his head with so trouble as he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Then, I will try to not take much of your ti. Since we have t in the past many tis then I will not waste your ti in formalities and co straight to the point..” he cleared his throat and started as he sat on the other side of the coffee table when he looked at the bewildernt on her face.
She was staring at his face as if she was trying to rember if they had t before but in the end she shook her head.
“Have we?” she tilted her head and furrowed, “no matter how much i think, i did not seem to rember you.”
The man ate the bitter taste in his mouth and tried to smile again. If not for him to feed her the wine, he would have thrown the bottle on her head.
The couple was good at arriving at others and hurting their feelings. He wanted to teach them a lesson so badly.
This would be his perfect chance. Just you wait!
He cursed her in his heart as he chuckled.
“Ah! I must have expected a lot. Since I t you at the reception of your marriage, I thought that you would have rembered .
I have been here in the palace since the start and one of the mbers who supported you as the ruler of the empire.” he said with a look of arrogance on his face as if telling her, ‘i have been such an important person in your life, yet you did not rember . Huh?’
The tone was domineering but it only brought an amused smile on her face.
‘So.. you are here for..” bragging or getting a favor?’ she added in her mind as she raised her words.
But any wise man would be able to deduce the rest of the sentence if he looked at the amusent or disdain in her eyes.
Her smile seems to be speaking a lot now too.
The man paused. He was expecting her to apologize and feel ashad but she was more shaless than he had thought.
“I am here to discuss the plan of your coronation with you and also.. I wanted to congratulate you since I thought we were good acquaintances but now that you don’t rember ..” he chuckled as he took out the bottle of wine and placed it on the table.
He waited for her to feel embarrassed and say sothing but when she kept staring at her, he continued, “I do not know if i can still ask you to have a glass of wine with ?”
