Chapter 130 - [Bonus Chapter]

The girl whose body was still trembling and head was bowed had an evil smirk on her face that was hidden from everyone. 'Just you wait hazel! Now I will show you your place and make sure you will never be able to raise your arrogant head again!"

"They are coming!" Hazel smiled as she continued to enjoy her drink when Rcihard whispered in her ears.

She knew that the girl would never accept defeat and would come sooner to take revenge by using the name of her family.

The marquis were higher than count and a noble would never accept that a girl with lower peerage had dared to challenge her and humiliate her.

Her eyes wandered to her father who was already looking restless, she had an inkling that he was worried that, why was the crown prince not here yet?

But she was not worried at all. She was glad that he was late and she would enjoy their insults and then show them who was the boss here.

Soon the hurried footsteps of the couple could be heard behind her and they walked past her straight to her father where the girl whom she had insulted turned to look at them with a smirk as if telling her days are over.

But no matter how she looked there was no change in the reaction of hazel. She gritted her teeth in her anger when she looked at the leisurely face of Hazel and turned back towards her parents with determination to see how long she could act!

"Ah, my lord. I am honored that you have come here with your whole family." replied the count with a bright smile on his face as he waved the waiter who brought glasses of wine towards them.

But the warm greetings he was expecting from the marquis and his wife did not come. 

"George, I thought that even if you are a mere count, you are a smart businessman and it would not be bad if our business relationship would improve! But I did not know that I was so wrong when it came to judging you and your family!" the words were spoken in a cold voice and the person was ready to beat the count of possible but he was tied with his noble behavior in front of everyone.

George frowned when he heard the cold voice of the maquis that was filled with accusations and rage. Since the day George had met his highness, he had already believed that his position was higher than other nobles. 

So, he felt deeply humiliated and irked by the tone marquis had used. Yet, he took a deep breath and controlled his emotions, 

"Did I have offended you, my lord, by my behavior? I apologize if I had hurt your pride unintentionally. But I never thought that you would blame me without even discussing the matter with me.'' He held his chest in an exaggerated manner as if he was hurt deeply.

Everyone had seen that not even once George had moved from there as he was continuously greeting the guests. So the abrupt behavior of the marquis created an uproar there.

"Haa! Trying to be ignorant now? Your daughter, Hazel had not only insulted my daughter but even called her dog and when she tried to talk it out your new son in law dared to raise a hand on my daughter! 

Even we have never talked to her in a high voice let alone                        be using violence." With that he picked up the voice of him and those who did not even know about the matter turned to look at it.

".....'' George gritted his teeth. His head snapped back to the girl who looked nonchalant about the whole matter. 

"Did you insult her and your husband beat the daughter of the marquees?" asked the man with a red face, feeling both anger and embarrassment.

"I did, that girl was too stubborn to not understand that I did not want to talk to her!" replied hazel with a chuckle as if she had heard an internal joke.

"You!" George closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He did not want to repeat his mistakes of the past. Even that day the girl had aggravated him to death and when he had lost his composure, she had taken its benefit.

"Hazel, even if you do not treat them as your equal, they are still our guests. We should be kind to them. Didn't we? Come here be a kind hearted one and apologize to the girl." he coaxed the girl into a sweet one, surprising all the guests who were waiting for a good show!

"Are you serious? You are requesting her to apologize instead of forcing her? Now I understand why she is so arrogant!

Count Georige, you do not know how to handle your kids!" The marquis took a few deep breaths as he was afraid that he would beat the girl to death. Why was she treated so precious when she was nothing but a brat. 

With no recognition or skills on her name, he could not understand how she was forcing Count to listen to all her whims.

"That.. if you know more about her, you will understand why am i so nice to her!" 'even you will flatter her all the time then.' he added in his heart as he looked at marquis with an apologetic face.

"Ha! To think that you are so much in control of your kids. I am disappointed with you. But if you are not able to discipline her, then pardon me but I will. I can not handle brats like her!" With that he shook his head and walked towards Hazel who still had a smirk on her face.

"Marquis, why are you trying to irk me! I have already told your daughter that I would not listen to her apologize if she still did not learn her lessons! Do you want me to black list you too?" she asked as she tilted her head and the man took deep breathes as if he could not believe what he was hearing! 

"Ha! I did not need your apology! Even if you would be the last person surviving on earth, i will not come to apologize to you!" he laughed as if he had heard a joke. How could the woman even think that he would apologize to her when she was being so arrogant.

What did she have to gain his apology. His eyes swept on the man and concentrated hard to remember if by any chance he knew the man or did he belong to any high post, but no matter how much he tried to remember, he could not remember him that only increased his confidence.

"Alright, then I will remember your words." she replied with the same smile that only increased the blood pressure of the man.

He could not understand why the girl was so confident when she had nothing in her name but at the same time his experience was telling him that he was doing a grave mistake.

"What do you mean?" though he already knew but he still tried to intimidate her, thinking she would not repeat her words if he asked her using full force and intimidate look but the girl did not even turned to look at him,

She did not repeat her words and turned away, only infuriating the man but before he could say so, the sound of trumpets and the footsteps of knights could be heard.

He turned back to see a dozen knights coming forward and standing in two parallel lines with the announcement of the arrival of the pair of royal kids.

Soon two pairs of footsteps could be seen with the royal princess dressed in elegant red and the royal prince dressed in elegant white.

Everyone around them bowed their heads and welcomed the pair of siblings. When George's eyes shone, he felt escalated and his face sparkled like diamonds.

"Your highness, her highness, I am honored that I am able to meet you twice in two days. I am really lucky!" His words created a lot of gasps and whispers. 

But Alcastra only nodded at him and without giving him another glance. He walked past George and stood in front of Hazel and richard.

"It is great to see both of you again. I apologize for being late. Our carriage had a small mishap on the way. As an apology I would have a drink with you later.

But I do hope I have not missed anything." he replied with a smile and all the jaws of the guests hit the ground when they saw how their cold and indifferent prince was talking so amiably with the couple as if they were long lost friends.

"You are looking beautiful like always your sister in law, but why are you looking so worried? Is there something the matter?"
