Chapitre 256: Hazel Going Against The King

Lucifel and Hazel had finally gotten to the hall. Lucifel stretched his arm for Hazel to take and she did it slightly, not before giving him a wide smile that he knew had meaning. Despite saying nothing, he could read her expression as, 'I will bite if you go too far.'

Of course, he wasn't ready to leave her, not yet, not when she still had a long way to go. Not when he had to protect her until he was sure that she didn't need any protection. Not when he had to protect her from his father's mysterious plan. He was going to die soon but not when the girl in his past who had relied on his promise was yet to be free from evil.

However, unknown to him, Hazel was planning to attack before he does. She knew the reason for this marriage. It was because they wanted to use her, however, she told herself it was enough and she wouldn't sit to be stroked with the rod. She wouldn't hesitate to strike with the rod when it is hot.
