Chapter 398 – He Is Dead

The lips of the man twitched hearing the cold threat of Rafael even though he knew that the entity must be strong to take the form of anyone else.

“I am the shadow you have solved once my master died while promising me that you will help me in finding my master. But when you found her, you conveniently forgot about me until I forced you to introduce her to me.” she said with a cold laugh on her face.

Even though she still looked like Hazel, her voice had already turned manly when she spoke in the ears of Rafael who was still hugging her for the world to see.

“Even after that, you gave me some foolish task of finding things that could hurt you while you were looking for it all the time and kept me away and busy from my mistress!” she snorted, earning a chuckle from the vampire.

“Now that I have found her and gone alone with her, if you put your feet in again, I will not only break your feet but your whole body. So, keep that in mind!” Hazel pulled her body back as she smiled at the vampire and then patted his shoulders.

Rafael kept staring at the girl in front of her with an amazed look before laughing at you out loud.

“And here I thought that you were a man and got jealous over nothing!” he said with a shake of his head.

“…….” did he just hear this?

She was sure she had threatened her enough yet he only remembered this. His jaws twitched a bit.

“So, where is my wife?” he asked with a nonchalant look on his face, though his eyes had turned colder, he didn’t seem happy that the shadow was trying to act like his wife.

Looking at the unfriendly look in the eyes of the vampire, the demon remembered that Hazel was still alone in the woods.

“Anne!” Hazel smiled as a few nobles passed her. They nodded with a smile and a few of them bowed to her.

“She had followed Hazel in the woods when she felt the presence of demons there.” the words brought a cold look in the eyes of Rafael,

“And now my wife is the one saving Anne?” he completed her unsaid words as she nodded her head. If it would have been anyone else, he would have killed the person so that Hazel would not get worried over such a useless person, but Anne was different.

She had helped both of them in being together and had taken care of Hazel for a long time. She had a special place in the heart of Rafael and respected the women a lot.

“What are you wasting your time for, then? We have to hurry.” He scanned the whole room and noticed most of them were busy in themselves, occasionally passing a glance to them.

“Come with me, I have hired a whole tent in the corner to celebrate your success.” the suggestive and flirtatious look on his face could not be any clearer.

Many blushed at his words and looked away. Hazel took the hint and laughed in a bewitching manner.

Her whole face turned sensuous getting the looks of many as she nodded back to the vampire who kissed her hands softly.

She held the arms of the man and waved at other guests who were already whispering in each other’s ears,

“Since the winner is already announced, I hope all of you will enjoy the night. Please excuse us a bit early, i am tired after spending whole day in the woods, so i would retire early.” Hazel bowed her head in a formal way before leaving with a paltry excuse.

While everyone knew the truth, no one tried to make a fuss about it and nodded their heads. Many had already accepted that she was going to be their ruler, so they had already decided to flatter her and support her to gain her favor later.

Hazel and Rafael walked out hand in hands. But as soon as they walked out at a certain distance, he let go of her hands as if they were dirtying him.

Hazel just rolled her eyes.

“Where is she now?” he asked in a cold voice as he walked towards the horses parked on the other side.

“In the inner woods near the blood lake. Follow me, I know the way!” Rafael nodded. He had not been to this place for a long time and he did not want to waste more time over his ego in vain.

Soon they both mounted the horses and pulled the reins. The horses started to gallop soon enough.

“The man named Declan. He was with Anne but I think he is already dead since I did not feel the presence of humans around that area. And humans could not sirive there.” said the demon, his form of Hazel was gone as soon as they entered the desolate area of the forest making it much better for Rafael to communicate without frowning.

“Oh! That was bad!” the jaws of the demon twitched at his indifferent voice.

“Tsk! At least it sounds a bit more realistic when you are showing regret. You are such an ungrateful being.” the demon commented as he touched his horse.

The eyes of the horse darkened instantly and it neighed loudly as if it was in deep pain but in the next second, its speed increased twice and it started to gallop at ungodly speed leaving Rafael farther away who raised his brow.

He looked at his horse and then the other one which would soon vanish due to its fast speed and jumped on the ground.

The demon who still had a smirk on his face just a second ago frowned and his eyes turned darker when he noticed that Rafael was already running beside him.

In fact, it was staring at the demon as if asking.

“Why are you still slow!” he wanted to reply loudly when the eyes of the demon flickered.

“We are already here!”
