Chapter 529 Who Is She Exactly?(Chapter Preview)

The drugs in Ethan's food started to work well. His eyes started to turn droopy and his face looked tired.

She lent him her shoulders and he happily leaned on her and closed his eyes.

She waited for a few more minutes since she did not want the maids to be suspicious about his sudden sleep.

Those ten minutes were no less than an eternity to her as she waited for him to go into deep sleep before asking the maids for help,

"Hey, can you help me take the master to bed? He slept on his chair." The knights on the duty nodded and helped Hannah in placing Ethan with his father.

Both men, equally affected by her drugs, are sleeping together. Such a warm scene that was filled with achievement. A smirk formed on her lips but she let the foolish thoughts go as she walked on his working table.

He was such a fool to give him such a gift. She flipped the pages of the files he was reading and in the pretense of arranging everything well, she read most of the papers.

Once she was sure that she had all the needed information, she arranged the papers and placed them back on their place.

Closing all the lights, she instructed the maid to feed medicine to the duke and left the room.

"My shift has ended and my master is already sleeping. So, I am going to rest too.`` She informed the knight on duty who nodded his head and failed to understand why she was informing him when she hummed the same song again and left from there.

The room for the maids was in the attic while the prisoners were put in the underground prison.

Though both places were opposite of each other. The stairs for them were the same.

She walked towards the stairs and looked around and when she was sure that no one was around, she changed the stairs and went to an underground prison with a tray of food in her hands.

"I am here to give medicine to the injured prisoner." she replied in a soft but confident voice when the knights stopped her way/.

"Why would a prisoner be given medicine?" asked the knight with a frown. He had a cold expression on his face but Hannah just shook her head.

"How does a maid like me know that? I am only following the orders.`` They both exchanged glances but they had no reason to doubt a maid.

"We will check you first?" they said in a cold and mean tone to scare her if she was lying. But the maid only nodded her head and raised her hands as if asking them to complete their duties.

One of the knights came forward and checked her but she had nothing except some liquid that she called medicine.

They finally nodded and she left from there towards the cells where prisoners were kept.

She stared at each of the cells with cold and vigilant eyes.

Most of them are empty with only two of them having prisoners. One was a woman with a young age and the other was an old man with a pale face.

It looked like he had not eaten anything since long and was on the verge of death.

Her steps halted and she stared at him for a long time. The man feeling the gaze of someone trembled and raised his head to look at the door.

His blurry eyes blinked a few times before he noticed a woman standing there in the maid's uniform.

The cell was too dark to know who she was but he did not care much about it.

"Please give me some food. It has been a day. I will die this way!" he begged.

They were giving him meals twice a day but soon it declined to once a day and recently even that has become irregular.

He had asked so many times but was never given a reply. Mostly the guards standing out come to give the food but he would not mind if a maid would bring his meal as long as it is edible.

The girl's eyes flashed with a look of surprise but soon a cold smile formed on her face. She looked at the man with contempt.

"So, that is how you are spending your day now? Do you not feel any shame!

Wouldn't death be a better solution than begging for a single meal a day?" her tone was filled with mockery but his eyes filled with shock when he recognized the voice.

There was no way that he could forget her!

"What are you doing here?" he asked with a look of shock on his face but then shook his head, "ha! If you have come this far only to mock me, I must say you are more of a fool than a daring person.

Even if you hate me, you should not have taken such a risk. I would advise you to leave before anyone can find who you are and place you in a cell with me.

I may not be a good person but I am not that cruel to you. Please return and I will forget that we have ever met." he looked away with regret and pain that filled his eyes.

Hannah felt the warmth of liquid in her eyes yet her eyes were filled with hatred towards the man.

"Mother still thinks that you will return. She had turned sick but she still did not want to meet me.

It would have been better if you would have just died but no! You must have created such a scandal that she hears about you and wails in pain.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

She begged me to come here and see you if you are fine. At least, you know that I could have died in the process!" she spat with anger when the eyes of the man widened but he closed them again.

"Then tell her that I died to release her from this pain forever."
