Hazel noticed that a lot of carriages had already filled the entrance and the place was looking livelier than the morning when it was only maids and the count in the palace waiting for them.

“What if both the count and his daughter are missing?” Hazel stared at the laughing guests with a skeptical look.

They would not end up being the host since the party was for them. Would they?

“Even if they both are not there, the mistress of the house would still be able to welcome guests.

You should be more worried about your dress and how you will manage to go in without being noticed!” he pointed at her heels that had been dirtied after walking in the soft and wet soil when the witches had attacked them.

Even the lower part of her dress was dirty with mud that made her completely unpresentable.

As the empress she had to look the best and fancy to capture their hearts.

She looked around for help as she came out but no one was there to welcome them like morning.

She noticed that most of the servants were busy welcoming the guests at the entrance and serving them snacks.

“What shall i do now?” with the time she had spent with him, she had come to terms that though Rafael was crazy and often made fun of others while he would kill them if they did so too, he was a kind vampire when it comes to her.

He had always helped her no matter what, so she did not want to repeat the action she had done on their reception by looking like a witch.

“I neve knew you cared about your face after my previous experiences with you.” she was looking white when on their wedding day and not to recall their wedding reception!







“That..” she looked around only to see that the number of guests were increasing.

“It is fine if you want to go like that. There is no one in the whole empire that would insult you but if you want to change your dress and take a break before entering, you can follow the knights who will escort you to your door from the back door.” with a sigh of relief, she nodded her head and passed him a grateful look before following the knights.

She had thought he would come with her but that was not the case when she turned back to look at him. He was already gone to the hall and mixed in the crowd.

The knights left once she entered the room and lit the candle for herself. She had thought there would be at least a maid waiting for her but that was not the case.

To her relief there were a lot of dresses in a trailer waiting for her.

She picked a dark blue dress as it reminded her of the suit Rafael was wearing. With a silly smile on her face, she took off her clothes to wear it but frowned when the dress did not fit.

It was so loose that it looked like she had worn a dress of a person three sizes bigger than her.

Letting it go, she chose another red dress that would match his eyes, only to find it too tight that she felt suffocated.

Three deep lines formed on her forehead as the third dress that was balck in color had loose strings that left the risk of it falling any moment.

Her eyes narrowed as she shuffled all the dresses only to find each of them had a problem and could not be worn.

“Argh” hazel rubbed her forehead as she had already discarded the dress she was wearing before that ended up crumpled and could not be worn anymore.

If she wanted to go out and ask for another dress then there might be a chance that she would bump into a few guests or did not find a dress at all.

In the end, she prayed to the lord that the last dress would fit her or she was really going to burst out with anger.







As she picked up the brown dress that was looking too simple and modest like daily wear it fitted her perfectly as if it was the only dress made for her.

“Oh my, to think they would treat me as a kid!” she laughed and shook her head at the foolish prank and then looked at the array of dresses that had filled the bed.

Her eyes sparkled with joy as she dressed up and adjusted her make up with her hair left open with a small pin to cover up the upper part of her hair.

With a confident smile on her face, she patted her shoulders as her eyes filled with pride.

“My lady, the lord, had asked us to escort you to the party!” she heard the voice of the knights who had left her here and opened the door.

“Yes, thank you.”

On the other side, the count took another glass of wine and drank it as if it was water to curb his anger but with glass it was only increasing.

He could not believe that he was left alone in the dark alley because of the foolish girl who had been enchanted by the witches.

Not even once the thought crossed his mind that it was because of his coachman.

“Honey, if you will drink in a corner then I would have trouble dealing with the guests alone. Even Natalie and Neo are not here to help me.” the countess whined as she saw her husband picking up another glass.

“That was all because of her! I have sent knights to look for Natalie! Do not worry.” his eyes softened as he let the glass go and stood up after adjusting his suit.

Her eyes roamed on the room and immediately spotted Rafael. He walked slowly towards him while nodding at other guests and having a brief conversation with them.

“My lord, I am glad that you are back, but where is the lady!”
