Chapter 241 - Elizabeth’s Jealousy (2) (2/2)

”Elizabeth, let's go back. It's cold out here.” I said worriedly.

”No, leave me alone.” Elizabeth yelled angrily. ”It's your fault, all your fault.” She said while sobbing.

My image of Elizabeth that was proud and confident was replaced with the figure in front of me now. She was like a lost kitten, shivering and crying in a corner.

”Why is it my fault?” I asked.

”If not for you I wouldn't have been here.” Elizabeth hissed. ”If not for you then William should have been titled duke and I would have been married to him. If not for you, I won't have to suffer like this in an unwanted marriage. You stole everything from me and Veronica. Why, why do you have everything now?”

Some of what Elizabeth was true. If not for me William should have inherited his father's title as duke. I looked at William who was behind me sadly. He shook his head as if ensuring me that his decision was solely his and I should not blame myself for it.

”I am sorry.” I said to Elizabeth sincerely. ”I never had the intention of stealing anything from you. I came to your life only wishing for you my step sisters to treat me as family.”

I squatted down in front of her to see her properly. I didn't expect that seeing you  like this would make me feel sad also.

”I only wanted the both of you to treat me like a sister. Even if you didn't love me as you love each other as siblings, at least some respect would have sufficed.” I said with a sad and heavy heart. I remembered my childhood with them. ”Richard at least loved me as a sibling and grandfather as well treated me like his real granddaughter. And William, he was my very first friend. I was happy to have him by my side but I never stole him from you. Regaleon also, he picked me as his crown princess. I never stole him from Veronica.”

Tears started to fall from my eyes as well. The hurt I felt in my childhood is resurfacing again now.

”I have never felt the love of father even once in our childhood. Seeing all of you happy when I was inside my cold courtyard nearly forgotten hurt me the most. How I envied you and Veronica so much because the love I sought for from father was all showered to the both of you. I was never a part of your family, even once in our childhood days.” I can feel the heartache of my childhood.

”But that family was ruined by you!” Elizabeth growled at me in anger.

”No, I never ruined your family. It is all of your doings.” I said while tears were flowing. ”Step mother had done a sin against mother and I that banished her from the kingdom. Veronica planned something against me but she was the one  stumble on her own plans.”

”I…*sob hic*… I know what I did wrong…” Elizabeth said crying even louder. ”I am sorry!!! Because of my selfishness, all of it has gone back to me….*sob hic*”

Hearing those words from Elizabeth made me happy. At least she knows what she has done wrong. At last she realized what  she did.

”I forgive you…” I pulled her into my arms and hugged her.

”I am sorry Alicia. It is my fault…*sob hic*” Elizabeth cried even louder. ”I was jealous because of William's affection towards you. That is why I did all those things. And I was also swayed by mother. I know these aren't valid reasons but…*hic*… I am really sorry.”

”Hush now…” I patted her. ”I forgive you.”
