Chapter 132 - Let Her Go

Elizabeth had not even in her dreams thought that she was going to their reception party.

"Sigh! We are going to the marriage reception of the man I have chosen for you!" The words of her brother were running in her mind like alarm bells. So, the extraordinary man whom she had felt attracted to was actually going to get married to her in the first place.

But she lost the chance because she avoided meeting him for a few times and then he got married to this girl! Suddenly she found Hazel as more of an eyesore than before. She wanted to cast her aside and stand beside the man.

But she did not know how to do so! For now she would stand aside and observe, when things would start to clear, she would strike.

With that thought, she controlled her fury, and brought a smile on her lips as she walked towards them.

"I have never thought that I would meet both of you this early! Congratulations on your marriage!" Hazel raised a brow as she noticed the behavior of the princess was completely different from the time they had met in the market. 

But she did not pay much attention to it, thinking that it might be due to the behavior of her brother towards them or due to the eyes that were looking only at them.

"It is also my honor to meet you again so soon, your highness!" Hazel bowed her head courteously with a sweet smile on her face.

"...." their actions only created further dread in the hearts of others. Not only the couple was so close to the royal prince who was famous for being cold hearted but also the crown princess who never made friends out of royal families. They felt dread for themselves after looking at the pathetic state of the marquis. 

Next could be them! No! They would stay further away with the affair of the lady and would also give her enough and flatter her!

"Don't you dare to insult her no matter what. In fact, go and try to make friends with her!" Many nobles chided their daughter and forced them to have a good relationship with Hazel as she was looking in the charge of her husband too.

Richard was looking completely smitten but the girl followed her every word seriously.

"Oh! I did not know that you have met. This is my sister and my closest friend and confidante!" Alcastra had  a dotting smile on his face when he looked at his sister.

"My lord, I thought that you would not come! I was so afraid that you were not satisfied with my hospitality last time, but now I am very glad to see you here!" George walked towards them and tried his best to be included in the conversation. 

"Well, if you excuse me for a bit!" having conversation for a while Hazel stood up and bowed her head as she left the table to go to the washroom.

"Hazel!" she stopped in her tracks when she heard the voice she had dreaded most in the past. But after pausing for a second, she started walking again.

"Hazel! Hey, are you ignoring me now?" Jonathan took hasty steps to overtake her and held her hand.

"Duke Harenshine! What do you think you are doing?" she glared at the man as she tried to get her hands away but the man did not let her go.

"Why are you resisting so much. I only wanted to congratulate you on your marriage!" When Jonathan came to know that Hazel got married he did not feel a thing. 

In fact he was glad that she had finally left him. Now he could marry Amelia freely. But when she entered the palace and descended the stairs, he could not look away from her. 

She was looking so breathtaking. And the way she had treated the marquis and others, it was so damn attractive that he could not help but feel lust for her.

His eyes were not able to move away from her. But what surprised him most was the behavior of the crown prince towards her.

Since then she has had so many good contacts with the royal family. They were looking like a family. Only at that moment did he realized that he needed her back in his life.

He could not let her go like that. Since they were recently married, he was sure that she had not crossed the line yet, even if she had, he still wanted her.

Such a sensuous and strong woman only belongs to him. That was why he was paying close attention to their table and once she left it, he followed her.

He was sure that she would not have forgotten him. She was head over heels to him. There was no way that she was over him this soon.

"If you have congratulated me, then let me go or I will call the guards!" she scrawled as she glared at the man again and tried to get her hands free but he was using all his power to hold her right there.

"Do not act like that. I am sorry to not treat you well. I have realized my mistake and let me apologize to you for ignoring a girl like you.

But i must say that you are looking so beautiful. Shall I have a dance together as an apology!" he offered her with his signature smile.

He was sure that she would not be able to ignore his smile and looks, after all, she had always wanted to dance with him but before he could say further, he felt a sharp force and pain all over his body.

"Can you not hear what the girl said?! Stay away from her or I will beat you to a pulp.`` The man was thrown aside as if it was a piece of paper and then Richard turned to look at him with flaring eyes that were glowing like a beast!
