One Last Condition

"My lady! The lord had asked you to rest. He would be very angry if he came to know that you have left the palace." her maids looked worried when they saw hazel getting ready to go out.

She tried to hide her pale complexion from the makeup but her maids were still not convinced to let her go out. What if Rafael came before her? 

"You do not need to worry about it. I will come in an hour." She stood up and walked out as a few of them followed her to make sure that she was fine, while others decided to wait in case she was late.

As Hazel walked towards the exit, she noticed Damien standing in the garden and talking to a few men. She did not recognize them but then.She did not know everyone workin the palace yet.

Feeling her gaze, Damien turned and she swore that she had never seen such cold eyes that she paused.

He exchanged a few more words with them before walking towards her.
