Chapter 71 Elizabeth’s face (1/2)
Richard and I were walking together back to my courtyard. It was a little dark so he escorted me back.
We were getting near my courtyard when someone shouted my name.
”Alicia!” A familiar voice shouted.
When I look around I saw Elizabeth fuming in anger walking towards me. She lifted her hand and was about to slap me when I caught her hand mid way.
”You bitch!” Elizabeth screamed. ”How dare you come back!” She was struggling to get free.
”I have just come back after two years and you welcome me like this sister.” I said with a cold tone. ”What have I done to you now to receive your anger.” I threw away her hand and she stumbled on the ground.
”How dare you!” Veronica came just in time to see Elizabeth stumble.
”She was the first one to attack me. I just defended my self.” I said.
”She is right sister. Elizabeth is the one that attacked us out of nowhere.” Richard defended me.
”How dare you take her side?” Elizabeth said. ”She was the one that scarred my beautiful face.”
”Scarred your beautiful face?” I asked sarcastically. ”As I remember it was a cat that scarred your face, not me.”
'Well technically it was really your 'will' that made me scratch her. But I really do wanted to ruin that beautiful face of hers even without your will.' I heard Snow's voice. She was just around the area hiding.
”It was you who tampered with the medicine that was given to me by the doctor, I know it.” Elizabeth said. ”Because of that my face rotted away. It was ruined!”
Elizabeth took of a thin layer of skin like a mask from her face. Then I saw how horrible the scars that was left from the wound she got. The scars go so deep on that it contorted her face. It made me shudder in fright.
”You did this to me!” Elizabeth yelled.
”How absurd!” I shouted back. Elizabeth and Veronica were taken aback by my words.
”I have been away for two years. How can I do such a thing to you?” I asked.
”You... you have instructed someone to do it.” Elizabeth said.
”Haha. Don't make me laugh.” I said. ”Everyone in this palace are your people. If someone is in danger inside this palace, it would probably be me.”
It was silent for a while. My siblings seemed surprised from what I have said. Even Richard was in shock.
”Do not accuse me of something you don't have any evidence with.” I said. ”If you don't have any other thing to say, I am going. Come Richard.” I turned around and walked away.
”Y-Yes sister.” Richard followed.
”You bitch.” I hear Elizabeth yell.
”You did great sister.” Richard said. ”I can't believe you stood up against them.”
”Of course I will. I won't let them step on me any longer.” I said.
