Chapter 176 - She Lost It!

"What are you waiting for? Kill her now and get done with it!" Her cold words resonated in the air but instead of fear a smirk formed on the face of Hazel as if it was Amelia who was going to die, not her.

Her smirk only irritated Amelia that was waiting for her to beg! Her eyes filled with hatred! Why was she still able to smile so freely when she was going to die? Huh?

"Why are you laughing? Huh? What gives you the courage to laugh? You are going to die in a few minutes! Did you listen to me? You are going to die, and this time no one would be here to save you!" She held the chin of Hazel while digging all her nails deep into her skin so that she would wince in pain but it did not happen.

Hazel continued to look at Amelia as if she was a fool and laughed.

"Do you think I have come back only to die? No! I have come here to take the revenge I deserve. I have thought that i would destroy you first until you beg me for death but if you are so eager to die,

I will fulfill your wish today!" Hazel had such confidence in her voice that Amelia's hands trembled.

"Do not listen to her, my lady! The girl had gone crazy due to the shock!"

"Yes, my lady! She is uttering nonsense!" Both knights tried to control Amelia who was looking full of rage as if she would kill anyone that would speak in between.

"Yes! You are only crazy and a fool that is uttering nonsense!" Amelia let go of her face that had stains of blood coming out from the scratches she had made.

"Kill her before anyone would come looking for her!" Amelia turned but instead of leaving, she sat back on the sofa as if she had decided to not leave until she saw Hazel's dead body.

When they thought that Hazel would give up, she stood up again with the dagger in her hands while the man holding her fell down and shouted in pain.

"She stabbed me!" he screamed as he covered his thighs with his hands. The blood was gushing out with speed that stunned everyone present except Hazel who had already run to attack another knight.

"How was this even possible? You have taken the dagger away, right?" shouted Amelia as she jumped up from her seat and stood on her feet again.

But no one has the time to respond to her. Hazel was attacking them with so much ferocity that they were having a hard time controlling her.

She was so strong as if she was not the one whom they were holding a while ago.

"What the hell are all of you doing? She is just a weak girl and you are trained assassins. How could you lose to her!?" shouted Amelia once again as she glared at the man who had fallen on the floor.

She walked towards him and kicked him on the wound as she cussed him to be so weak. While she trembled in her heart. If she would not be able to kill Hazel this time too then she was sure that it would be her end.

Hazel was not going to leave her this time. No! She shook her head to get rid of those weak thoughts and crouched on the ground to pick the sword of the knight.,

If she wanted to get rid of her, she would better do it herself rather than waiting for them to disrupt it.

She had thought that she would attack sneakily and finish the matter once and all. But before the trembling sword could touch the body of the hazel, a hand held the sword and snatched it easily.

"Hasn't anyone told you? You should never attack on the back in the war. Even animals knew this rule!" the cold voice muttered and hazel turned rigid.

She had thought that Richard would come to save her like before but she had never thought Alex would be the one to come for him instead of richard. What was he even doing inside the palace?

But before she could turn and ask the questions forming in her mind, the knight who was waiting for the chance attacked her.

"Hey, where are you lost in dreams, watch out!" shouted the man as he tried to cover her from behind. 

She blinked as she realized that she had lost herself in his thoughts and nodded.

"It would not have happened if you would not have come here. How did you even come here?" She had seen the carriage leaving when she had entered the palace and it had been more than an hour to it. 

Then how was he still here!

"You know! You should learn to say thank you when needed instead of always complaining. I have just saved your life!" he complained in an exaggerated manner but his voice was full of teasing and she rolled her eyes.

Could this man ever be serious? Why did it feel like he could joke even if they both were killed here today!

Controlling her emotions, she attacked the man who was standing on the other side.

As they thought that the assassins were dealt with a lot more entered from the window and their number seemed to be never ending. Alex had already killed a few while Hazel was only injuring them.

His body was stained with blood and his face was showered in the blood that was sputtered all around. The place was looking no less than a graveyard with all the dead bodies lying around.

They both had expressions on their faces as they continued to attack them.

Alex pierced the chest and then continued to move the sword inside the body of the assassin until he cut the man into two. His actions were so precise yet full of gore. His eyes had turned cold and hollow as death seemed to be dancing in those eyes.

Amelia who was looking at the scene from a bit away felt nauseated. Though she had tried to kill hazel, she had never seen this much gore in her life.

"Aahhhh" 

"Argghh" only the shrieks could be heard and she was sure that if it continued soon others would come here and everyone would know that she was involved here.

But how could hazel fight? She did not remember that Hazel had even held a sword in her life. She was a nerd that had spent all her life in the closed door of the library. She tried to hold the sword again but it felt too heavy to her and it started to tremble as she moved it.

She knew that if not Hazel, Alex would definitely be able to block her and she would only be dead if she tried to attack again. So she let go of that thought and looked at the knights that had taken all her treasure in exchange for killing hazel yet they were not even able to touch the strand of her hair.

Her whole body trembled with anger as she gritted her teeth. Her nails dug deep into her skin as she moved forward but took a step back when Hazel turned towards her direction to attack another man. 

Hazel held the sword with confidence and stabbed the man straight into his chest as the man staggered and fell down. His body started to struggle for a minute before turning limp.

Though her skills were very weak. The strength she was using and the agility she had were her strong points. No matter how much the knights tried to get to her, they always lost to her.

"What the hell are all of you doing!" Amelia pulled her hair and kicked at the table in front of her when she saw how effortlessly they both were attacking and defeating the assassins that were dressed as knights.

If there was a slim chance of winning before, now it was sure that hazel was going to win. But who was the man beside her? If Richard was not enough to pamper her, she even got a new man to protect her.

She really was a slut! Her mother was right!

But now he is losing! Should she run away? If she would be in front of everyone then Hazel would not be able to hurt her and now that all the knights  have been beaten no one was there to tell who was behind all this. With that thought, she turned silent and started to take steps backward.

She took a breath of relief when they did not turn to look at her but continued to fight with the knights.

But just when she had thought that she was saved, her smile turned stiff and her eyes widened!

"Were you going somewhere?"
