Chapter 175 - Who Is The Fool?

"where is your alpha?" 

"He is not in the palace, my lady. Do you want to ask him his whereabouts?" 

"No! It is fine! You must be tired too, go and have some rest! I do not need your company for today!" Though confused, the girl nodded her head and left the room respectfully.

Once alone, Hazel sighed and sat on her bed, suddenly she felt empty from inside and melancholic when she looked at the empty room. What was she even expecting, Richard and she was only in a fake relationship, why would he be waiting for her!

Had he not spent enough time helping her, he must be busy with his own things too.

She did not feel like going down to have the meals and see their faces once again. It would be better that she sleep and take a rest.

She walked towards the bed and took the sip of the water. Changing her clothes, she laid down on the bed, thinking about the day.

She was still not sure who Alex was but she did feel a strong affinity towards the man! His dark eyes had left a strong impression on her mind.

She did not realize when a smile bloomed on her face as she recalled their small conversation.

Soon, her eyes turned heavy and she closed them and drifted to sleep.

After a few minutes, the door of the room creaked open and two dark figures came into the room.

"Is she asleep?" the person tried to shake Hazel but her eyes did not open. 

They exchanged glances with a smirk formed on their lips. They held the girl with her arms and covered her body with a blanket! 

"Hold her legs and I will cover the front part!" They both nodded to each other and took her out of the room.

Walking through the dark path, they took her to an empty room. The place was so dark that the face of the person could not be seen but only an outline of their figures could be seen.

In the dark room, a figure was sitting alone on the large recliner chair that was moving steadily.

The door creaked open and the knights took the unconscious Hazel in.

"We have brought her as you ordered, my lady!'' The men bowed their heads and placed Hazel on the ground.

Before they could even raise their head, a sac of gold was thrown towards them which they caught perfectly.

"You both can leave now! And I did not want to hear about it from anyone!" The cold voice resonated in the air and both men nodded with a grin.

"You do not need to worry about that, my lord. We are men of words. No one would know anything about it!" the both assured as the figure nodded and waved her hands in the air.

They both nodded and left the room with steady steps.

Finally the button was pressed and the room was lit up. The cold face of Amelia comes into view.

"I can not believe that you have not learnt your lesson. Haven't I mixed something in your tea last time?

Yet you drank the water so easily. Do not tell me that you do not have any taste buds to know the difference in the taste!" she looked at the lying figure of Hazel with disdain as she stood up and walked towards her body.

Crouching down she observed the face of Hazel with hatred, "I have thought that I would let you live this time since you could come to my use and you are not the thorn of my way anymore.

But you have to open your mouth and babble nonsense in the office!

Now you have to pay for it and die! And this time I will not take the risk by giving the task to someone else but deal with you by myself." she spat in a cold voice as if it was the mistake of Hazel that she had an affair with jonathan!

But before she could take out the dagger from her back and kill the girl, her eyes snapped open and she looked at Amelia with colder eyes, making her shocked.

"I have learnt my lesson but I wanted to see who is the fool that planned to kill me even after knowing my position in the palace!" she snarled as she sat up.

"I thought that you had realized that I could not be touched. But to think that not only have you tried to kill me, but also decided to do it yourself. You are more foolish than I thought!" Listening to her words filled with disdain, Amelia came back to her senses and gritted her teeth.

"So you were acting all this time?" Hazel snorted when she heard her foolish question. Did she really think that she would not realize that water was tampered with?

"It did not matter since you are still here and non one knows where you have gone! I will kill you and the name would come to all those who have bad blood with you. Since the list is too long I did not need to care so much" with that she tried to attack Hazel with the dagger in her hands.

The dagger had the seal of the marquis family whom she had fought in the party a few days ago. She just needed to kill the Hazel and put her body anywhere near the palace of marquis and she would be done.

But before the dagger could even touch the Hazel, she raised her hand and held it tightly so Amelia was not able to move it even an inch.

"You!"

"What! Do you think I would sit still so that you could come and stab me? I wonder who is the fool here to even think like that!" the eyes of Hazel filled with mockery as she increased the pressure in her hands and started to sway that dagger.

Amelia gritted her teeth as she struggled to get the dagger and her hands free but Hazel was stronger than she had thought.

"Tell me shall I kill you now?" asked Hazel as she snatched the dagger from the hands of Amelia but when she had thought that she won the battle, Amelia shouted and a few knights came into the room.

"Though I did not want to involve them, I can not take the risk of letting you go from here tonight!" Amelia turned to stare at the knights with furious eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Kill her and get rid of all the evidence. I will make sure that your name would not be attached with the case!" she snapped and the knights nodded their heads and tried to hold Hazel.

She looked at all of them with cold eyes. She should have known that she was not going to give up so easily.

"So, you do not want to get the affection of the crown prince? A better life, luxuries. The life you have dreamt about?" She tried to convince the girl as she was sure no one knew that she was here.

If she died here, this would be the end, and she did not want to give up so easily after coming this far. 

"I do not care! All i care about, your actions would end my life. Though the crown prince would have been better, Jonathan is not a bad option either.

I will have a good life with him once I get rid of you!" Hazel tried to run away but the room did not have any space and she was badly outnumbered by the knights who were looking at her as if she was a piece of meat.

Just how many times was she going to die with the hands of Amelia. No matter what she did, she always end up getting killed but the girl

Had she taken the wrong decision when she had decided to come here with the knights. She cussed herself as she tried to struggle in the arms of the knights who were holding her tightly in her place.

"I am sorry Hazel. If only you would have never come back. You would have been living a good life.

But no! Not only did you want to come back, but you also tried to act superior and tried to get what never belonged to you!

See! What you ended up with! Even if you have a powerful husband and strong position in the empire now, you are still going to die.

So, do you have any last wish? I promise that I will fulfill it!" said the girl earnestly and then she started to laugh as if she had heard a great joke!

"Oops, I was joking! Hahahaha" she held her stomach and laughed evilly again as if she had lost all her sanity..

"What are you waiting for? Kill her now and get done with it!"
