Chapter 151 A Good Show (2/2)
”Hmm, I understand.” Father said. ”Elizabeth, you have no basis for your accusations towards Alicia. As I have decided from here hence forth, you are now crown prince Gladiolus' fiancée.”
Elizabeth looked defeated and slumped down on the floor. Tears streamed down her face and she was wailing.
Grandpa Robert and Richard looked at her in pity while Veronica was trying to help her stand up.
”Come now Elizabeth, this is unsightly for a princess.” Veronica was comforting her but Elizabeth slapped the hand helping her.
”Now that mother has been banished, you just leave us like this!” Elizabeth roared to father. ”Now that mother is not here, you favor your bastard child over us the legitimate ones. She is just a daughter of a maid and a whore.”
”Shut your mouth!” Father stood up on his throne and roared in anger. ”If you try again to slander Leticia's memories again, I will not hesitate to send you to the tower of Grace with your mother!”
We were all shocked with father's reaction. This is the first time I have seen him defend my mother's memories from these pair of sisters.
”Elizabeth, just stop talking right now.” Veronica was also looking at Elizabeth with anger. Who knew what else would come out of Elizabeth's mouth that can hurt others including herself?
”This meeting is over. Robert, Richard I will speak to you in my office personally.” Father said and walked out of the hall.
After father left, William and I also exited the hall. When we were at the door I thought of something.
”Oh wait. I think I dropped my handkerchief.” I said. ”Can you please wait for me here Will? I will be just a minute, maybe I dropped in under my chair.”
”Okay.” William nodded.
I trotted lightly towards my seat acting like I was looking for something but in fact I never really dropped anything. I was gambling that with Elizabeth's temperament, her anger will blow up once she sees me again and will try to physically hurt me. Of course my plan was for her to attack me while everyone was still present and that will land her in trouble. Now without her mother here to help her, she will surely be punished.
As I thought, the others were just preparing to leave. Elizabeth was just a few meters away from me and still visibly shaken with the outcome of her engagement. Her gaze fell on me in an instant.
”You…! It's all your fault. If it was not for you, everything would have been fine. If you never existed, this would not have happened.” Elizabeth shouted with rage. ”It's your fault, you bastard!”
Elizabeth ran towards me with fury ready to pounce at me. She pushed me down on the floor in an instance.
”You bastard, you bitch… I will kill you…kill you!” Elizabeth was pulling on my hair and slapping me left and right.
”Ahhh..!!” Of course I have to act as the victim and let Elizabeth deal a blow on me. But at least I was defending at best to not get injured.
In no time I felt someone pull Elizabeth away on top of me. And then I hear a loud slap.
