The antagonist?

19. The Arrival of the Distant Cousin

Hazel looked up at the night sky from her balcony, though her net was staring at the moon which was shining bright and beautiful tonight but her mind was still spinning on the scene last day. Matteo apparently liked her even invited her to marry clearly.

This was true beyond her expectations, but Hazel was happy because it meant her plan could have gone smoothly in front of her. But somehow the pleasure was like spreading throughout his body, a different sense of pleasure to make him continue to smile.

Either way, he did not want to think about it first and chose to focus on his plan. What in the sense of being close to Matteo was he having to build a relationship? or just being close to retaliating for the same thing that Arzhel did? After all, even if he wanted to build a relationship with Matteo would it not have much effect?

"Don't think about the groove, I told you how many times you'd do as you please."

The voice made Hazel speechless, Glio this time just sent her a message without revealing her form. "However, my role here is antagonist?"

"Yes, you don't want to reply to Alexa? and as for what you should know, you're not curious?"

Hazel clucked, but she did not reply again and chose to remain silent. He had also read the letter that Camorra had sent, did he have to reply to the letter by asking if Camorra knew about Matteo who liked him? matteo said yesterday not yet.

He turned around after thinking for a moment, went back into his room and grabbed the paper and the questioner. The pen danced on the paper as Hazel wrote each letter which later turned into a sentence. Hazel then put her letter in an envelope, and heard the sound of shoes and at the door followed.

"Hazel, can I come in?" That's Evie's voice, it's just how she wants to call the girl. Hazel deliberately moved even though the door to her room was not in the key, she wanted to open it herself.

"Evie, it's fitting. Please help me send this letter to Camorra, will you?" hazel said without further ado, Evie looked at the letter then picked it up and nodded. "What's wrong?" ask Hazel later.

"Sorry to interrupt your break" Evie said with a clumsy smile. Although Hazel says to act like her friend, Evie is still not used to it and because she is a shy child. Hazel nodded her head, and Evie gave her a opened letter. "There's a message from Mr. Theodore, tomorrow the Mageo family will come here."

Hazel frowned after hearing what Evie had said as well after reading the letter. "Will there be Arzhel too?"

"Surely, the Mageo family. Maybe it's just Mr and Mrs Mageo and Arzhel of course" Evie explained. Hazel clucked to hear it, honestly she was lazy to meet the annoying man.

"Well, I'll go to sleep" said Hazel, with a pouting face. Evie smiled awkwardly, she understood why Hazel had behaved like that.

"Well, good night, Hazel."

Matteo stepped calmly towards the main gate, by his side was also Camorra accompanying him. They stood firmly as if waiting for someone to come, the servants also always overshadowed them with umbrellas from the hot sun this afternoon.

"I want to meet Hazel" Matteo said softly, a languid tone still tucked in there. Camorra only glanced from the tail of her eyes, the sentence was just brooding without reply for a while until the girl then gave an envelope whose seal was already open, which she had already opened, Camorta had already read the letter in it.

"Today you have your own distant cousin, Matteo. You yourself know what to do if it wasn't you and I picked him up at the main gate." Camorra said, began to be disturbed by the heat that was still hit even though he had also fanned himself. "That's a letter from Hazel, I replied to her. You're the one who responded" continued Camorra.

A slight faint smile was seen, Matteo enthusiastically wanted to open the letter immediately but the sound of the approaching horse carriage made him undo his intentions and put the envelope into his suit pocket after he folded.

"Welcome, Elle." Matteo greeted politely, as did Camorra. Correct, right, the girl is Elle Elvie V'goner's distant cousin from Matteo who is visiting today and will stay the next few days without her parents sailing west to do anything important.

Elle smile. "You guys are still the same, still willing to welcome me at the main gate just out of fear" Elle said in a mocking tone in Matteo and Camorra's ears.

Matteo sighed. "We're just avoiding a small problem that's likely to be big because it's from you" Matteo replied.

The distant cousin laughed. "That means you're weak, just like you were. Just a little problem you can even handle, or ignore if you don't like it, but you can't. Weak, you guys still can't be tough on me, can you?"

The two gasped at hearing that, let alone Camorra who was obviously very easy to pry. But Camorra this time chose to be quiet, although her chest up and down held back anger, plus the mocking gaze made her more blood up. Camorra almost lost control and grabbed Elle.

Elle sauntered away later, Matteo shook his head slowly and immediately followed and tried to equalize his pace with Elle. "You're not going anywhere today, Matteo?"

"You want me to stay?" Matteo asked back.

"Please be brave" said Elle. Matteo said he felt uncomfortable and could not calm down before replying to Hazel's letter. Even though yesterday's events kept spinning in his head, he could not deny he missed Hazel so much. If Elle hadn't come today, she would have gone to see Hazel.

They walked into the main room, Elle greeted Master and Lady Agore. Voiger Ach Agore and Hulliet Za Agore smiled and immediately approached Elle to wipe the top of the girl's head. "Welcome back, Elle. Matteo and Camorra will take you to your room, may your holiday here be fun huh?"

Elle smiled and nodded, looking up at Matteo waiting for him to guide her to his room. While Matteo just glanced and walked first, along the hall Elle continued to talk for sure Matteo did not remember because his mind was only on the letter.

Arriving in Elle's room, Matteo just silently watched his cousin who then kept his bag and yes, I don't know.

"Just go, let me take care of it." Matteo turned his head, he saw Camorra who signaled him to leave immediately and handed Elle to him.

Matteo actually wanted to ask if it didn't matter but he was also already impatient, then without a second thought he nodded then looked at Elle. "I'll go to the bathroom first." Matteo just left in a hurry like in time.

Camorra looked at Matteo who was impatiently pulling the slightly tangled envelope out of his inner coat pocket. But when Camorra turned her head to see what Elle was doing, the girl just came forward and turned past him. The girl glared when she realized that Elle was chasing after Matteo who was still in the hallway.

Panicked, Camorra then pursued but Elle's footsteps were so fast. Matteo also seemed deaf to hear no one chasing him, let alone the man's step slowly because of the focus on reading Hazel's letter. Then what happened next was Elle who snatched the letter from Matteo's hand until there was a small tear at the end.

Matteo turned around in surprise, increasingly surprised to find out that the one who snatched the letter was Elle. At the end of there Camorra was clucking, dizzy to do what.

Elle smiled after reading all the contents of the letter. "I just remembered Hazel" he said, giving the letter back to Matteo's hands quietly, without guilt or anything else. "What if we meet Hazel tomorrow? take me, I used to only see his face."

"Your goal here wasn't for that."

"Aren't you supposed to meet and get acquainted with the girl you've been with for a long time?"

Matteo was speechless, he looked at Camorra who looked confused as well as how. While the look in Elle's eyes changed, it was difficult to decipher.

"I want to meet Hazel."
