Chapter 177 - Tell You Truth!

"Were you going somewhere?" Amelia trembled with fear when she raised her head and met with the cold eyes of the man. Her whole body turned cold when their eyes met.

"You!" What was he doing here? She had checked twice that he had left the palace in his carriage. Only then did he execute her plan today. So else she would have waited for a day or two.

She had thought that she was extremely lucky, but who would have thought that it was her worst day!

"Why? Were you expecting Jonathan to come and help you? Or were you expecting me to stay aside when you tried to kill my wife?" he asked again with a raised brow as if he was dealing with a fool.

He took a step forward and she took a step backwards. Fear started to fill her eyes as she looked around to find a way to run from there. If they caught hold of her then she would die right there.

With that thought she tried to run away towards the window since he was standing on the door but before she could take only a few steps, she was held by the man who was fighting with the knights just a few minutes ago.

Only then did she notice that they have already got rid of all the assassins. Even Hazel was walking towards her with a blood stained dress.

"I.. I apologize. I have been blinded and manipulated by jonathan. I did not want to do this. I promise, after all, you are my sister.

I never wanted to hurt you! This was all Jonathan's plan. He forced me to do so! I did not know it would happen! I did not think properly.

Please forgive me! After all, we are family. We love each other in spite of the differences!" she pleased as she bowed her head in front of Hazel who snorted.

A mocking laugh escaped her lips when she heard Amelia. She was talking like they were too close. Even when she was trying to kill her a few seconds ago! Did she think they were all fools to still fall for the family trick! What a fool!

"If you think you can get free with that lame excuse then you are dumber than I thought.

And to think that Hazel had trusted you once, I wonder how foolish she was!" Hazel turned her head and glared at the man who was insulting her while standing in her own house. 

What did he think of himself?

"I did not ask for your help! I still did not understand what are you even doing here?" she asked the man again but once again he just snorted and looked away which created a frown on her face.

"Alex!" Even Richard was surprised to see his brother there. They thought that he was at the palace.

"Mmmm, I was just passing by when I heard that you are here brother! So, I thought you would be interested in meeting me.

But you are not looking that happy?" Richard frowned when he heard Alex. he was sure that their mother was looking for him everywhere. And he had not felt his presence there! 

Then his eyes enlarged and he sniffed him. That was right! He still could not feel his presence even when they were talking while standing beside each other.

"Do not think too much. I have done that to hide from my mother. You know she had sent a lot of troops to search for me!" Richard snorted and shook his head but the doubts in his eyes died.

"How do you know hazel?" Richard looked at the confusion on the dance of his wife who was looking at both of them with tilted heads.

"I was hiding in the office where she had taken the post today. I did not know that she was your wife. How could such beauty impress you?

And I thought that you would wait for your mate!?" Alex stared straight into the eyes of the man. Too sure that he was not the mate of hazel. Then why were they both married, he could not understand.

"Are we going to stand and talk about ourselves or think what would we do with this girl now?" Hazel did not know why she did not like when both of them were talking about her.

She felt a tinge of guilt towards both as if she had done a felony. Though she had not done anything wrong, she felt like she would end up hurting both of them.

Her heart was clawed by the beast as the thought passed her mind.

"Hmmm, what is there to think about? She had to die now!" Richard looked at Hazel with confusion. He did not understand what Hazel was thinking. 

The girl had tried to kill Hazel twice yet she was thinking about the punishment. She should just kill Amelia with her own hands.

Hazel frowned! Her face turned dark when she heard Richard. 

"You can not just kill her! What if others think that we were behind it and just making story of my abduction?" The empire runs with rule and they just could not kill each other before they have enmity towards each other. Where is the law in that?

This time both of the brothers snorted and then exchanged glances as if Hazel was speaking a language they could not understand.

"I do not know what you are talking about! What does her death have to do with you. She received a letter from Jonathan and then left the palace. And later she was found dead in the palace of jonathan.

You were sleeping soundly in your room!" Alex snorted as he looked at the ashen face of the girl that had started struggling in his arms as if it would help! What a fool!

"You! You can not kill me. Hazel is right! You can not kill me!" they shook their heads at her naivety.

"So what do you think! Were we going to have a party with you while drinking to your limits? Huh" her whole face lost its color and she started to struggle more though she knew that she could run away from both men. They were strong like beasts and would not let her go.

Now her last hope was hazel! If she would rely on the law then she would find a way or trick to run away later. 

"But.. hazel is right! If you would kill me then she would be the one to be blamed and would end up in prison too!" Amelia threatened as she looked at the hazel who closed her eyes and sighed.

A wide smirk formed on the face of Amelia when she thought that hazel had agreed to her and given up but before the smirk could stay, hazel parted her lips,

"Fine, since that is the case, then I shall leave and sleep in my room. Since I did not know what would happen to Amelia, her death had nothing to do with me then!" she shook her head and walked towards the door with tired eyes.

"Hey! Wait! You can not leave me alone here! Take me with you! You can not let me go!

I am your sister! Father will never forgive you! You slut! Do you think a father would let dirty blood kill his real daughter!" Hazel that had already reached the door and holding the knob to open it halted.

It took her a few seconds to control her burning emotions. She knew that the girl was vicious and lied about everything but at the same time she felt like she was telling the truth.

There must be a reason why her own family hates her so much. What had happened was that she had always been outcast by her own family.

Looking at her halted steps, the grin in the face of Amelia returned. She looked at Hazel as if she had won the battle.

"Why? You do not know that you are not his real daughter?

Come here and free me then I will tell you whose dirty blood you are! Why did everyone hate you so much! Even your mother's family never comes to see you. 

Let me tell you, they even tried to kill you the moment you were born but father saved you.

Not because he loved you. But he wanted to see you suffer. Giving you instant death was too merciful. He wanted to torment you and live in misery all your life in front of his eyes.

Even your mother did suicide when you were born since she was so ashamed to give you birth!

You are hated by all of them.. Come here and free me! And I will tell you which dirty blood you belong to. Only I have all the answers, if I die you will never know the truth!"
