Hazel walked towards him with stealthy steps but she did not need to do that all.

He was so immersed in looking the other way that he did not notice her presence at all.

AN amused smile formed on her lips. Her main goal was to make him jealous and realize what he had lost. But now..

She could see hope.

"Tsk! You are a shame for being a demon." she whispered as she clicked her tongue while she stood beside him and stared at smiling Anne who was talking to the man she had chosen.

"Ha! You are finally here." he looked at her with a cold look. As he passed the bouquet to her. "Here! Congratulations on winning a useless seat in this mundane world."

He said with mockery in his voice as he passed her the flowers and took a step back as he was ready to leave when she raised a brow.

"Are you leaving?" she asked, with a raised brow when he nodded without any emotion.

"Aah! Then should you not be congratulating Anne too. She is getting married in a month." she said with a bewitching smile on her face as she stared at ghim.

The expressions on his face did not change but his eyes cracked and cold started to sweep around him.

"What? You do not want to?" she asked with a laugh, "I thought you would be happy for her for your old time sake." her brows lifted up as she looked at him with an amused look when his eyes narrowed.

"One more word and I will kill you right here! Do not dare to mock me, you witch.'' The low growl came through gritted teeth as the desire to kill started to leak from his eyes but she was not even a bit affected by it.

She just smiled as if she had heard a great joke.

"Ha! Do you think you can kill me?" She shook her head and raised her hands.

She patted his shoulders as if she was feeling bad for him.

"What do you think? Why did your master go as far as sending flowers for me? Do you think you can go against your will when.." she pointed at the balcony as she started walking towards it.

Declan gritted his teeth. The witch was definitely playing with his mind. She was not trustworthy at all.

Yet, he wanted to know if Anne was really getting married.. no! He wanted to know why his master was supporting her. Yes! That was the reason that he was following her.

He clenched his hands into a fist as he followed her.

But many eyes turned to them. Hazel was the star of the event. In an hour she would be crowned with the crown. Yet instead of meeting her new noble supporters and subjects, she was going to the balcony with a strange man?

They all exchanged glances as they looked at her with eyes full of suspicion.

Even when she was in the room with that man, they saw her exchanging sweet nothing and whispering sweet words in the ears of each other.

As if they could not bear to stand even an inch away from each other.

"Why is my master paying attention to you when he was tasked to kill you?" he asked as soon as they reached an empty balcony.

"Such impatience? Tell me, do you really not want to go there and hold the hands of Anne?" she asked, swirling the drink in her eyes as she pointed at Anne.

He looked away as if he did not understand what she was talking about.

But his eyes went to Anne and his eyes widened when he saw the man holding her hands and kissing it as they walked away.

"Ha! Why would I care about such a thing? I am only here because my master told me." he said with gritted teeth when she laughed.

"Then why have you broken the glass of your wine while looking at her?" She laughed again when she saw him staring at his hands and then at the floor where the wine and the shattered glass had fallen.

"You do not need to worry about it. If you are not interested in Anne, I will not force you." she paused and then took a sip of her drink, "i am going to be the new heir of your master. I will rule you after a long time when I will be tired of this mundane world." she said in such a nonchalant way as if it was nothing

But the eyes of the demon widened and it looked like he was still shocked. He looked at her form up to down and then laughed as if he had heard the greatest joke of his life.

"Ha! To hear such words from a witch. Do you think you stand the chance to even survive in our lands?" he shook his head and turned to leave.

Just when he turned, he saw Anne slipping and took a step forward but he was too far away. The man standing behind her held her in his arms and smiled at her.

She smiled back and his eyes narrowed at the blush of her face.

"And as far as it is about Anne. She would not be able to survive on my land and I did not have the right to stay here. So, it would be better that she would find a man who will be with her to love and cherish her. The gap between us is too much.'' He then turned to leave but she just sighed.

"Is that why you are backing away? How about I organize a task for you here. That way you will even know how much power I hold in your land! And.." she took a step towards him ,"and you can check if you want to hold her or let go of her."
