Chapter 164 - Who You Are?

"Here! She is so good at using her charms that no one would ever doubt her!"

"Here! She is so good at using her charms that no one would ever doubt her!"

When the girl raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears that it was enough to gain anyone's sympathy. She was looking so sad that many felt sympathy for her.

Her innocent face was looking devoid of any kind of cunningness. 

"How could she be the one to blame and not the viscount Ravenshire?" asked an old man. Lord Ravenshire was rather an old man with a big scar on his face that looked scary. No one would believe that he was the innocent one when he gives off the vibe of an intimidating man.

"Are you saying that you tube decisions look at faces rather than the proofs?" snorted Alex, as he looked at the baron who had said that. 

If that was not enough, he continued, "if that is the case, then i should be the prince, rather than his highness since i have a better face and aura!" he had that big smirk on his face that any one would have the desire to beat him and wipe that smirk off of his face.

"You! How can you insult his highness, you should be charged for treason and keep in jail!?" muttered the man with an embarrassed and fuming face that had turned red.

"That is enough! Silent everyone or I will put everyone in prison for insulting the royal family by talking so brazenly in front of them!" His cold and loud voice resounded in the whole room silenting every person present there.

"I will investigate the matter further and contact you if I have any doubt. For now the meeting is injured!" he added when the room turned completely silent.

But Hazel, instead of bowing her head, turned forward and asked in a soft but stern voice, "my lord, what would happen to lord Ravenshire till then?" it was clear that she was not ready to let go of the matter.

"Hmm, he is free from the prison till then of course, but my knights would accompany him everywhere and so would his family!

Since he is innocent, he should not care about this small trouble, right lord Ravenshire?" he asked directly to the lord rather than Hazel and Alex who would have argued with him without any fear.

"No! My lord! Not at all. In fact, I have lost all hopes. This is already a miracle for me that me and my family have been saved. I didn't mind the knights at all!" he bowed his head again and again with gratitude and relief that hazel rolled her eyes.

"Freedom is your right, lord Ravenshire. You are making it like it is beneficence." spoke Alex in a cold tone that made many grasp.

"Are you insulting the benevolence of his highness!" challenged a man that was feeling agitated since the start. Both of them behave like the palace belongs to them. Such impudence!

"He is only telling the truth. What if you have been kept in prison for a long time without any rhyme or reason and then one day when someone proves your innocence.

You were still kept under the surveillance of the knights. Do you still think that it is benevolence!?" asked Hazel in a cold tone as his face looked so cold and cruel that the man shivered and finally realized that they had not looked at the situation with the point of view of the victim.

"It is okay, lady Hazel. I have lost hope for a long time. You are the miracle of my life. You have come as an angel of mercy for my whole family. Thank you!" The man shook his head as he looked at her cold face but his eyes were full of hope and gratitude when he looked at Hazel and she was a bit stunned.

"Then, if you need any help, we are here to support you!" she replied in an awkward tone as she did not know how to respond to it.

She was habitual of getting swears and snarky comments but she did not know how to deal with care and gratitude.

"Yes, my lady, thank you. I will always remember your kindness!" The man bowed and soon the knights  came to take him away.

Even those who were waiting for the show looked at each other but left soon as the hall emptied.

"So.." Alex looked at Hazel with a smirk on his face. As if he was waiting for her to praise him. 

She rolled her eyes when she felt him behaving like a kid again but a smile formed on her face unconsciously.

"You did good, sir Alberto. I did not know that you are so good at collecting information!" the man frowned when he heard her and looked at her as if she had broken his heart.

"Alex, call me Alex. and I am not only good but perfect at everything!"  she raised a brow but when her eyes met his twinkling one she felt her heart skip a beat. His eyes were so mesmerising that she was not able to take her eyes away from him.

"We will see that. Now we shall leave, we have a lot of work to do!" She cleared her throat and looked away from him and walked towards the exit.

A smirk formed on his lips when he saw how she was trying to steal her eyes away. She was feeling the attraction he was having towards her. 

"Since we are going to work together for a while, it is better that we know a bit more about each other. Isn't it, my lady?" 

Hazel hummed as she continued to walk without turning back to look at him.

"I know you will agree, my lady. Then, can you tell me what is this case with your marriage that the whole department was talking about? Have you married a messenger instead of the son of the duke without informing everyone?"
