The strange man is back again.

"Do not speak anything against her! It is not Hazel's mistake! I am the one to blame!" The man shook his head and looked away as if he was hiding his tears. 

"My lord!" he raised his hand in the air and then turned and left from there.

They all exchanged glances but did not speak further. 

Hazel, who had seen all the drama, gritted her teeth. She had thought that the man would show his arrogance and do a folly like her sister and father. But he was more cunning than she had thought.

"My lady, this is your office." The clerk showed her the way. The room was minimally decorated.

It was filled with files and other records but they all were neatly arranged on the table.

A few paintings were on the wall with maps of the empire and a few other important papers. Everything was related to work only.
