Chapter 78 - No More Related

"It is because you ran away without any trace, sister!" Amelia's eyes filled with tears, her red puffy eyes were looking too pitiful. Anyone who would see her, feel sympathy for her.

"That is it! You have been too audacious. Ask your lover to leave my hand this instant.`` Hazel turned to look at her father who was still blaming her and sighed.

If they would have still tried to find her and apologised to her then she would have only punished Amelia and who would have forgiven her father who had never harmed her.

But now that she looked at him, it was because of his lack of judgement that the situation worsened. If only he would have treated her better and cared about her!

She closed her eyes and when she opened it was calm again.

"Richard, let my father go!" one word from her and Richard let go of George's hands though his cold eyes still intimidated the family. He stood in front of Hazel, protecting her silently.

George rubbed his sore wrist that had turned red. It felt like his bones were almost broken and the pain was too much. It was all because of this brat!

He glared at Hazel who was calm as a lake now. 

"What kind of misbehavior is that? How could you blame Amelia who was trying to support you and ask me to not punish you?

And your mother! Do you even know how worried she was about you?" George hit the table with his hands. All the things over the table fell down with a thud when his hands hit it.

"Apologise to the whole family now or we will punish both of you!" he threatened and finally Hazel turned to see her father.

"And what if I did not accept it. Do you ask me to leave the premises and forget that I am your daughter?" she scoffed as her tone turned mocking as if she was telling him that this family was not worth living anyway.

"If you continued to behave that rudely then yes! I will announce that you are dead for me!" he declared as he was sure she could not afford so. If that would have been the case, then she would not have returned anyway.

He was not afraid about the words of his father anymore since he had already inherited everything.

If not for his father, he would have never accepted Hazel as his daughter too.

"Very well, then why did you not announce it? Because I will not apologise for getting poisoned in the palace. I will not apologise for getting hurt and ignored all my life!!" her tone turned colder as she looked at them with distanced eyes.

George scoffed, a cold smile formed on his lips too., "so you have only come to get kicked out of the palace. Huh?" his tone was telling that he knew it was a trick and he would not believe it. 

"Very well, then I fulfil your last wish too. Mary. go and bring the seal of the family and my notepad." he glared at the maid who bowed her head and left hurriedly.

"Are you sure that you wanted this sister? You will lose the right to have a share in the properties and you would not be noble anymore.

You will lose every connection from the family. Moreover we will not be sisters anymore. Do you want to lose everything just because of your anger?" asked Amelia in an upset tone. But her eyes were trying to calculate the actions of hazel that was confusing her.

Why did she want to love the right to inherit the family? As their father did not have a son, both of them would have equal rights over the properties and could live a rich and leisure life! Then why did Hazel want to leave all this?

Could it be because of this man? She looked at the men with her peripheral vision. The man looked regal and his aura was imposing. He was looking no less than the emperor and she could feel the pressure he was emitting even when he was just standing there doing nothing!

"Hazel, you should not be hasty in these kinds of decisions." Amelia spoke again when the cold eyes of Hazel did not even spare him a glance. 

Though she felt humiliated, she did not want to let go of the chance to know the truth.

"Amelia! Let her be! She is adult enough to make her own decisions. And look at the tone she was using in talking to your father. She didn't care about the goodwill of her family and our reputation.

I did not want to say so, but as a daughter she had disgraced us. Your father is right. If she could not apologise then she did not deserve to live with us anymore.'' Her words were more like a warning to Amelia to stop convincing Hazel to change her decision.

She had never thought that there would be a day when Hazel would leave their life for good. How could she let go of that golden chance!?

Amelia looked at her mother with aggrieved eyes as if she was hurt and bowed her head. But in her eyes there was only hatred and disdain for all of them. She did not care what they were thinking. All she knew was there was something wrong in the whole scenario.

Mary came back with the same hasty steps, as she brought the notepad and seal back and passed it to her master.

"I am giving you one last chance, hazel!" he reminded me but Hazel did not pay any heed.

"Yes! This is the last chance to think about it? Do you still not want to change your decision?" she asked back with the same intensity and her father fumed.

"Very well, then let me make the papers now!" He walked to the sofa and sat there with an arrogant face. His eyes were filled with disdain as he passed the last look to the couple.

If she did not know how to praise her luck to be part of their family then she may go and rot in hell. Only then she would come to know their importance.

"From this day onwards, i, George Starenfoid, disowned my elder sister, Hazel Starenfoid from her lineage. She is not a Starenfoid anymore.

She had no right in any of my property and she would not be able to enter the palace from now on.

Her life and my family are separate now!" he declared as he wrote the letter.

Giving one last look to the cold eyes of Hazel who was still standing there proudly, he signed it and sealed the letter.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up and walked towards Hazel as he passed the letter to her. His eyes were filled with arrogance as he looked at her, waiting for her to break down but it did not happen! 

A cold smile formed on her lips as she took the letter and read it slowly,

"Does it mean that you will not even have the right to ask me for favors in the future?" she raised a brow as she looked at her father who scoffed.

"Ha! What favor can you give? You have already refused to marry the crown prince of the Alienore empire, and Jonathan had also broken the engagement from you when you ran away from the house in the middle of the night.

Now what do you have except this man! No matter how strong and muscular he is, he could not be more than a knight!" he passed a look full of disdain as he looked at Richard but abruptly looked away when his cold eyes met his haughty one.

The man was intimidating! But that did not mean he would be worried about it.

"Hmm, that is also true. But since i am here. Shall we have our last meal together for remembrance?" asked hazel as she folded the letter carefully and Richard took it from her hands and pout in the pocket of his coat.

Her nonchalant attitude towards the whole matter confused everyone. They had thought that she was only acting to be strong but once the letter would be signed, she would realise what mistake had she done, but her smile had only bloomed while looking at the letter as if she was finally able to get rid of the creditors!

"Why do you want to have dinner with us then? Since we are not related anymore, leave the palace. Or I will ask the knights to escort you out. I did not want anyone to know that you were here. For me, you are already dead.`` Hazel rolled her eyes at the over exaggerated drama. 

What a bunch of actors. She shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head.

"Anything you say. Then i will see you later, Mr Starenfoid.'' She just shook her head and held the arms of Richard who was waiting for her patiently while looking at the unfolding drama with lazy eyes.

"Ohh, am I late for dinner, my lady?"

"........."
