Chapter 269 [Bonus chapter] Stabbed herself

Estella ordered the guards to hold Hazel with a thought that she would be scared but Hazel only counted her daggers.

Her eyes were sparkling strangely that Estella had an illusion that they were changing colors. Her green eyes shone silver and then darkness started to fill them.

She blinked and shook her head to make sure that her vision was clear when she noticed that another dagger was thrown towards her and instantly covered her face with her hands.

“This is the only way you can save yourself. Keep your eyes closed. You have not seen anything or heard anything.” she frowned when she felt that Hazel was whispering into her ears.

She swore that she had seen Hazel standing too far from her. She tried to open her eyes when she felt another dagger passing through her other cheek.

“If i would have been at your place, i would not have taken that risk.” her voice trembled. It inflicted a strange fear in her that she covered her face with her hands tightly.

She did not want to die but she had never thought that Hazel could create this much fear in her.

Once assured that Estella was not going to move, she walked towards Vicent who was already covered with his shadow knights.

“To always ask others to sacrifice their life for you and hide behind them to show your bravery! How pathetic!” her face filled with disgust but Vincent could feel his death dancing on her face.

He gritted his teeth as he felt annoyed. This woman should be kneeling in front of him and asking for his attention but how she was trying to scare him.

“Kill her! Show her where she belongs. I want to see her begging for her death.” he shouted to his shadow kings that were known for their agility and martial prowess.

They were able to subdue Lucian too when they fought with him last time. He had only seen Hazel throwing daggers but not using a sword.

He was sure that her skills were limited to that only since she had never received training while she was living in the annex building.

Hazel threw a dagger but before it could touch Vincent, the shadow knight had already deflected it with his sword.

He had a blank expression on his face even when he noticed her eyes turning black or throwing daggers towards them.

She threw again but this time he deflected it too. She realized that he was not a weak contender.

“Why are you putting your life in danger for someone like him?

He is a killer and sadist. He did not deserve any kind of loyalty.” She took out another dagger but did not throw it carelessly this time.

His aim was never to kill the innocents and Vincent did not deserve such an easy death too. She was only stalling for him until Lucian came back.

She tried to flare the men but they did not react as if they could not hear her at all.

“What if I pay double your salary?” she asked again but no reaction that infuriated her.

She could not understand why a knight would be loyal to a man like Vincent but she continued to walk closer to them until she was standing just a few inch away from the shadow knights and Vincent whose confidence had returned.

“Tsk! You have thought that you can defeat all the knights or buy them? Now who is the pathetic one, huh?

My knights would never leave me and you are going to die with their hands tonight.

You thought that you are stronger but you are another fool who thinks that women are strong. You should have just accepted my offer and would have been mine.” he snorted as he came out from behind.

With his shadow knights protecting him, he was not afraid of Hazel anymore.

He would enjoy her lost and scared face before killing her but the woman just scoffed.

“How disgusting you are to think of your own sister in that way? Is that why you accused father for killing me while you were the one who mixed poison in my food!

Were you afraid that he would be against your desire to take your own sister?” she asked with a tone full of contempt when he chuckled.

“Ha! Do you think that he would have cared? He had spent the night with any woman his eyes could fall on.

Not to forget that he always claimed that you are not his daughter. He just kept you because you were beautiful and he thought that you would be useful in future. And look how he used you as a pawn in his game.”

He sneered as he took out his dagger. Under the keen eyes of his shadow knights he would be able to kill her with his own hands only then he would feel better since she had insulted him too many times.

“Then why did you blame him when he was going to make you his heir anyway. It could not be as simple as getting the throne or was it?” she asked again completely unaffected when he played with his dagger while coming closer to her.

“No! I only want to keep mother silent since she knew too much about me and had started to pester me.

And I have been tired of waiting. The old man was not dying but I needed power to complete my plans of starting another war.

Whenever I asked him to take action, he asked me to wait.

He had his hands on Beryllium yet he acted in hiding instead of starting a war in broad daylight. He was a fearful man.

But now that you knew too much, you have to die too.” he added as he attacked her with his dagger but to his surprised she smirked instead of getting scared and instead of trying to protect herself, she held the dagger but pulled it closer to her body and stabbed herself with the dagger while he was still holding her.

“Aahhhh!”
