Chapter 71: Expose the bitch

Damien glanced at Hazel and noticed that the small wounds on her face and neck had disappeared.

But he still felt the need to ask her.

“Are you okay?”

Hazel thought he was referring to what they did last night and her earlobes turned red remembering how shameless she had been.

Although they had done it for several hours and only got to sleep when it was dawn, Damien had been thoroughly gentle throughout the process.

The only thing is that her waist felt sore and her lower body seemed more sensitive than usual. But, would she admit that out loud?

Of course not.

“It’s okay.” She said, unable to look him in the eyes, but the rosy hue on her cheeks sold her out.

Seeing her expression, Damien instantly knew what she was thinking and he gave a low chuckle.

“I am asking if you are okay because of what happened last night before you came here.” He repeated with a slight smile in his eyes.

Realizing that she had misunderstood what he meant, Hazel blinked rapidly, trying to compose herself from showing how embarrassed she really was inside.

“Oh, I’m fine.”

Speaking of what happened last night, Hazel knew that she had fallen into a trap.

And it was Mireya.

Although she had no proof, Hazel still knew it was her. And for now, she had Damien’s support, even if it was partially. Last night, she had seen Mireya, she saw how Mireya had dressed almost similarly to her and seeing that she entered after Damien, Hazel could link some dots about what had happened.

Speaking of the events that happened last night, Damien also still has a hint of anger in his heart.

“Why didn’t you wait when I told you to? And why did you go to Roman’s chamber by your self?” Damien asked, his tone taking on a slightly sharp edge.

Although he believed that Hazel was too proud to want to be with Roman, he still could not dispute the fact that she had gone to his chamber willingly.

If she had gone unwillingly, he would have understood.

But she went by herself. Why?

Till now, the thought still makes him feel irritated.

Hearing the sharp tone to his voice, Hazel's expression also turned cold.

She sat up straight in an instant, ignoring her body’s urge to remain in his warm embrace and she put some distance between them. Shifting to the edge of the bed, she watched as Damien sat up too, staring straight at him.

“Are you trying to say that I went there on purpose to sleep with him?” She asked with a smile at the corner of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

“I didn’t…”

“Isn’t that what you are trying to say? That I am a whore who can’t sleep without having a man by my side? Isn’t it?” She asked again and Damien became speechless.

Of course, he didn’t mean it that way.

But when he realized that he had almost had that thought, he suddenly couldn’t reply to her.

A hint of something known as guilt, an emotion he hadn’t felt all his life, flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it came.

He was a king. Though he knew he shouldn’t have spoken to her in such a manner, he still wanted answers from her.

Hazel understood what he was thinking just by the look in his eyes and she sneered.

As expected, he was still the same beast she knew. A night together doesn’t mean he has changed.

“Last night, one of your guards came to me and told me you didn’t need my presence anymore and that you won’t be available in your chambers. And then the same guard passed made me know that your precious guest, Mireya, wanted to see me for something. I didn’t know that I was being led to your beta’s mansion having never been to the guest wing before. And you know what happened afterwards.” Hazel explained briefly.

She didn’t want to tell Damien the real reason why she had gone to Mireya and ended up getting deceived.

Damien furrowed his brows.

“Can you recognize the guards?” He asked seriously.

If what Hazel said was true, then there must be a spy among his warriors and that was something he would never tolerate.

So here, the problem is the guard and if he is caught, then they would start investigating what really happened.

“Yes, I can recognize him.” She replied, then suddenly thought of something and frowned. “Also, how did Roman get the aphrodisiac?”

Although Roman had lustful thoughts towards her, his reaction last night showed that he wasn’t in his complete senses at all.

And Mireya hadn’t been lenient at all, the amount of dose she gave him was so strong that he seemed to be driven by lust like some beast.

Certainly, she not only wanted to ruin Hazel's reputation, but also her body.

However, Hazel had nothing to prove that Mireya was the culprit behind everything, so she could only keep quiet and make subtle hints.

Hearing her question, Damien nodded, “The aphrodisiac must have been added to his drink.”

Hazel also nodded and both parties went silent.

After a while, Damien stepped down from the bed.

“Clean up and meet me in the study chamber.” He said and after Hazel nodded, he walked out of the chamber.

Hazel watched him leave without any expression on her face.

Hazel was going to make sure that Mireya is exposed, she would not allow her to go scot free with what she had done yesterday.

Hazel walked into the bathhouse and quickly cleaned herself. When she got dressed, she realized that Matilda was already waiting for her outside the chamber.

“Matilda, you are here.”

“Hazel, how are you?” Matilda asked, glancing at Hazel worriedly. But seeing that her complexion was okay, she heaved in relief.

“I’m fine. Just on my way to expose a bitch.”
