Chapter 84 - Her Demands

"What impression would he have of our family? How would you be able to stand high in your family when you will not have the backup of your maternal family.

Think wisely and come in. Let us sort out the matter! Will you?" Amelia looked at Hazel with pleading eyes. Her face was looking scared that the matter would only escalate but her worried eyes and quivering lips were able to get anyone's sympathy.

It would look like she was worried up to no end for the family but her words had inner meaning that Hazel was immature and she was not thinking wisely.

Hazel was only thinking about herself. She was a selfish and short tempered person who did not even care about the respect of her family.

"You should listen to your sister! How could you be so insensitive towards your family?" chided her daughter as she looked at Hazel with annoyance who had not taken a single step towards the palace while continued to stand there nonchalantly.

"Of course, we should learn from each other. Why not add poison in her food and then lock her in her room then forget about her existence completely. After a few days when she would be better I would ask her to apologise to me and sort out the matter. This way we both will learn from each other!" replied hazel nonchalantly but her words were enough to even narrow the eyes of Alcastra on Amelia who froze at her place. 

She felt embarrassed when the crown prince looked at her with suspicious eyes. Her nails were dug so deep that blood could be seen dripping from her body.

She wanted to kill the girl right away but she had to persist! She had to persist until she had the chance to kill her again.

"Sister! Why do you hate me so much? I am sorry that I hurt you but it was never my intention!" tears started to pour out of her voice.

"If that is all you wanted to say then I am leaving now." Hazel replied nonchalantly and turned shocking Amelia once again.

It did not look like she cared about her words or her image, even Alcastra took a breath of relief and turned to leave as if he was finally released from the prison. 

All the family panicked when they saw Hazel and Richard leaving with the crown prince. They did not even give them another glance.

"Wait! There must be another way! Anyway! Anything that you want or say!" pleaded George as he looked at them with worried eyes. He was looking like he would even give her his life if she asked for it.

That was when the steps of hazel halted. A triumphant smile formed on her face while her eyes turned colder. She looked at Richard who nodded with a dotting look in his eyes.

That was when Alcastra realised that he had to stay more time here. The whole show was the plan of the couple so that the family would offer them anything.

She was just riling them and making them anxious so that they would listen to her demands. His eyes narrowed. The girl was more cunning than he had thought thank god he was not at the receiving end of the girl.

She turned to look at the family with a smirk on her face, 

"Did you say anything?" she raised a brow while looking at her father with evil glint in her eyes but her father nodded without thinking twice.

He knew that money could bring anything. If he needed to spend a bit then it would only be investment. He would earn much more once he had made a strong connection with the royal family.

In fact, they would also see how greedy and selfish she was while they were trying so hard to maintain the relationship.

Hazel nodded with a strange satisfaction on her face, "if that is the case then come with me. We will sit and talk about it privately." she asked and he looked back at his family who was looking at the scene unfolding with worried eyes.

"Follow me!" he said as he gritted his teeth. He was noting everything in his heart! And he would make sure that he would take revenge for everything for her.

He would not let her haughtiness stay for a long time!

"But George!" Diana tried to stop them. She was not getting a good feeling about this. She could see the desire for revenge in the eyes of Hazel that was hard to ignore. She was sure that the girl was here to hurt them.

"It is fine. I will see you in a while." with the greed and pride in his eyes, George was not ready to give up on the opportunity. Most importantly he did not want to accept defeat in front of a young girl.

Hazel passed them a scornful look as she followed her so-called father into the private room.

"Leave!" He ordered the maids who bowed when they entered and they all bowed their heads and left hurriedly, giving a shocked look to Hazel who stood behind him confidently.

He walked towards his office chair with a dark face and sat on it as if he was taking all his anger on it.

"So what do you want from me?" he asked in a cold voice as he looked at her with menacing glare. He was not even putting on the facade of being a good father anymore.

Hatred could be seen filling his eyes but she did not care anymore. She would have scorned more if he would still have said that he cared for her.

She stauntered towards the chair lazily and sat on it elegantly crossing her legs. Her aura was regal and untouchable and the way she looked at her father, as if she was looking down on her made him gnash his teeth.

"Do you think that you are above all of us just because you married a knight that was close to the crown prince? Do not forget that knights are still lower than royal families. I am still superior to you in terms of pierrage and you are still a girl whom even her family had not accepted!" he snarled as he looked at her. He was sure that she would be hurt and wounded. 

It might make her angry but he would not let it go. She had affected his pride and he would not be silent until he would be even with her!

"So!" she asked nonchalantly as if what he said did not concern her at all. It had nothing to do with her life and she did not want to waste her time by dwelling into the matters of others. She just gave him an uninteresting look as if she did not want to get bored by him, "Have you called me to discuss the terms or wasted both of us time. Do not forget that the crown prince is still waiting outside and he is not good with his patience." he gritted his teeth as he heard her haughty and carefree voice but closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

She was right! The crown prince might have already been annoyed. He had to end this matter quickly so that he could go and flatter the man to gain his favour quickly.

"Alright, since the matter had already escalated this much, tell me what do you want and finish the matter once and for all." he asked as he took out the key of his treasure. Though he was sure that he would not need it.

Though her husband, Richard, might have had a good physique and connections with the royal family, in the end he was just a knight. His salary won't be much. She must be suffering from the lack of luxury she had enjoyed here. 

So, she had created all this drama to get some rewards. She might agree if he offered her two maids and a few bags of gold coins or jewels. 

"If you want a few jewels and gold as your dowry then do not worry i will personally go to your in laws house and give them a good amount of gold that they had never seen in their life. You just have to keep your mouth shut in exchange."

He offered her and With that thought he looked at her with disdain but her lips were curved into a proud smirk and she flicked her hair as she looked at him with proud eyes and mumbled,

"tsk.. i am not going to invite you to my in laws house and i do not want the gold and jewels. you can keep it for your bad time that is going to come soon!"

"I wanted this palace.. In exchange i will give you the chance to meet his highness and help you in getting the biggest contract of the empire anytime you want."
