"I know you will agree, my lady. Then, can you tell me what is this case with your marriage that the whole department was talking about? Have you married a messenger instead of the son of the duke without informing everyone?"
Her steps halted when she heard him, her hands clenched into a fist and her eyes turned cold it was sol cold that even Alex was surprised for a minute.
"I do not think that the matter of my marriage had anything to do with our work. And you are free to think whatever you want to think!" her voice was so cold that Alex felt stunned for a minute. He was expecting her to be angry and frown since they were questioning her integrity but he had not thought that she would refuse to give an explanation when given a chance.
"I apologise, my lady. I didn't mean to offend you. I was only curious about your husband! Since you were so close to his highness, I thought your husband would be a higher noble or someone with a lot of powers!" He tried his best to sound calm but his guts wrenched when she passed him the cold look.
"As I said, it has nothing to do with you. So, you better stay away from it. And if you want, you are free to change the lord you want to serve!"
She walked and entered the carriage without giving him another glance that he could not understand why she was getting so irritated!
Once seated inside the closed the doors of the carriage before he could enter.
Alex knocked the door as he looked at the hazel with a confused face,
"My lady, I am still out of the carriage!" he told her as if it was not obvious and she could not see it.
"Hmm, since you can manage to come this far in such a short amount of time, then i am sure you can reach the office by yourself too!" she replied nonchalantly as she closed the curtains too.
"What are you waiting for to ride the carriage? We have already wasted a lot of time!" The coachman looked at Alex with pity. His face looked like a puppy that had been abandoned by his master. But he did not dare to go against the order of the new mistress and pulled the reins of the horse and left from there.
"Hey! Lady hazel! Hazel!" he ran a hand in his hair as he saw her leaving without any remorse.
But soon a helpless smile formed on his lips as he looked at her fuming face and scratched his nape.
"She is the wife of your brother!" he heard the voice behind him and soon his eyes turned cold. He turned to look at Alcastra who was standing behind him.
"What did it have to do with you! I am sure you are not a sneaking person who will complain to your brother about it!" gone was the sweet and warm boy and was standing a cold and cruel man with bloodlust in his eyes.
Alcastra clenched his hands as he felt the threat but tried his best to control the fear, "are you trying to threaten me! He has the right to know and so does lady hazel!
What if she would come to know about it from another source? She would definitely feel betrayed!" There was a smirk on his face that was telling he was enjoying his condition.
"You know how I treat threats, Alcastra. No one will know how you died. They would not be able to find your corpse no matter where they would try to find it. So, you better not interfere where you can not!" he threatened as his hands were already on the neck of Alcastra.
"You are going to regret it!" he warned but it only brought a smirk on Alex's face.
"At least, I would be alive to regret it. What about you, Alcastra. Are you ready to stake your life on a matter which has nothing to do with you?" his smile was telling that he was serious.
He would not think twice before snapping his neck.
"Do not forget that it is my empire!" As the words left the mouth of Alcastra he chuckled like he had heard a joke that he could not believe.
"No matter what your post is! You are a human and I am a beast. And I enjoy hunting weak humans like you!
So, you better think before making any decision." he looked straight into the eyes of Alcastra with his glowing eyes that felt like he would die any second.
"Ah! My bad! Did I scare you? I was just joking like you were! Right my lord?" though he was saying so, his eyes were still glowing and filled with bloodlust.
Alex took his hands back from the neck of Alcastra and then dusted his shirt,
"You have to live a long life, my lord. So, you better learn how to not poke your nose in others matters.
Now, my boss is waiting for me, I have to go!" He passed a gentle and harmless smile to the man but it was enough for Alcastra to understand the words in between the lines as he saw Alex leaving.
"My lord, are you ok? Shall we imprison the man for threatening you?" asked the knight who was finally able to run towards him.
If felt like he was held back by a force that he could get free from but one the man turned and left, he finally moved from the grip of that power.
"No! The game is getting much more interesting than I have ever thought.
Even i wanted to see how it was going to end up between the three of them.
Would the brotherhood win or the blood will flow to the land for a no name girl who was taken nothing but a waste all her life. Interesting!"
