Chapter 192 - Only You Can Do That?

The aide soon came out cutting the crowd as he held the shoulder of Jonathan, 

"Please do not misunderstand, the boss was just a bit hazy due to the sudden news!"

The man tried to assure as he also gave a strange look to Hazel then tried to pull Jonathan away. 

"What are you all talking about?" while Alex continued to glare at Jonathan with cold eyes, Hazel asked with a frown as she looked at the aide who had equally shocked expressions on his face.

He frowned and many of them exchanged their glances as they turned to stare back at Hazel.

"My lady, were you not at the palace last night?" he asked in a cautious voice  yet his eyes stared at Hazel as if he was trying to peer into her soul.

Everyone's eyes darted on the girl in the blink of an eye as everyone waited for her to reply.

Hazel frowned when she looked at all of their strange reactions and asked, "what did it have to with the uproar?" 

When they thought that she would not reply to them, she added, "i went out with my husband for dinner then things happened and we decided to stay at the inn for the night.

Since I was getting late, I came here directly from there. Now would you please explain what is the matter?" she asked in an authoritative voice when they all looked at her awkwardly!

They did not know how to reply to her question. After exchanging glances for a few times, they were still not able to find the right words.

"Why don't you go home and see for yourself! We have already written a letter that we all wanted to visit the palace of count so the ministry is going to stay closed today!" explained the aide but it only increased the frown on her face!

"What!?" 

"What do you mean that everyone wants to visit my home and you even have the audacious demand to close the ministry for that? Have you all lost your mind?" She could not help but chide all of them. 

Though her hands had already gone sweaty and her face was filled with horror. She was looking like a furious girl but her heart was pounding like crazies!! Just when she remembered the body of Amelia, she felt a shudder all over her skin.

"Hazel! Amelia has no more! Someone killed her last night!" Finally Jonathan found his voice and tried to hug Hazel again but Alex came in between and passed a death glare to the man who was staring at them with soft eyes as if he was too much hurt!

"Let go!" The cold voice of Jonathan filled the place, making everyone shocked.

"It should be you who let go!" Both of the men who were known for their warm personality and soft nature were fighting in a cold voice and rage that shocked the spectators.

"What do you mean by Amelia being killed? Who would dare to enter a palace full of security and kill the young lady of the house? 

Is it you? Did you do that because I told you that I know the relationship between you and Amelia?" Both men turned stunned and stared at Hazel with an open mouth whose eyes were already filled with tears and pointing at Jonathan!

"You have told me that you will kill Amelia if I tell the truth to anyone! That was why I kept the secret hidden! Yet you have already taken the grave step!" she shook her head as she continued to cry and shout.

"Oh lord! How could you be so inhuman! She was even going to give birth to your child soon!" Jonathan's jaw hit the ground when he heard the allegations of Hazel who was shaking her head while looking at her with hatred filled eyes.

It was as if she would pounce on him and kill him right there.

"It was you! Isn't it! Do you think you will get free after doing such a heinous crime! You have to pay for not only one but two lives, Jonathan! I will make sure you do!" Soon the faces of everyone came out of their shock and they looked at each other.

Whispers started to fill the room again as they started to analyze the possibilities. 

The aide of Jonathan looked at the talking nobles who had started to look at Jonathan with strange eyes and felt worried.

He nudged the shocked man to something or they would be caught in the fire and it would burn their future.

As if finally coming back to his senses, Jonathan glared at the girl who was spouting nonsense with so much emotion and pain that everyone had started to believe her.

They have already heard her blaming Jonathan only yesterday and the incident happened the very same night! It increased the speculation of everyone who looked shocked!

"What the hell are you talking about? How could I do that? 

Do you think I can infiltrate the security of the palace and kill the girl in the presence of so many knights? More than that it was not even the work of a human! 

It was done by a beast!" he shouted back! He had thought that he would take advantage of the situation and would create feelings in the heart of the girl again but who would have thought that she would spout such nonsense! 

"How could you blame me hazel?" he asked in a voice filled with pain that everyone felt bad for him. Even they thought that they were being ridiculous while blaming him!

They must have thought that because of the strange blames of hazel. She wiped her eyes and started coldly at the man as if she would kill him right there.

"Because only you know all the secret passages of the palace so that no one would be able to catch you and you can come and go with ease!"
