255 Repay the debt

"What are you talking about? The whole empire knew that his highness was courting me."

"What did you say? He is dating me. We even went to a night theatre together."

"Oh my, just because he is friendly with you does not mean that he likes you. He had already professed his love for me when father and Vincent discussed the future business together.

He said that he would soon make me the princess."

The maid who was hearing all the other three fighting over the love of the crown prince shrunk in the corner.

"Do you have another story to be told?" Hazel did not pay any attention to the fighting nobles and walked to the maid who was still lost in her thoughts.

"That.. i.. I have a list of all the girls that his highness meets. I manage them and make sure that they never bump into each other during their visit to the palace.

His highness has offered me to be one of them but I refused since I know he only played with the girls but never loved any." she bowed her head as faar and pain started to fill her mind.

She only wanted to do her job and earn enough. Why did she get entangled into all this that she was brought here to be killed!

"Do you have proof and what about his other criminal activities?" she forgot about the fear of the maid for a minute as she held her hands with a look of excitement in her eyes that scared the maid further.

She realised she had made a mistake. The man who could kidnap her and try to kill her without reason would never let her live if he came to know that she had spilled the beans.

"I.. I did not know anything. It was a long time ago and since then I have been working diligently in the palace.

I have a good image there. Would you please help me get out of this building? I promise that I will never tell your name to his highness." but instead of feeling disappointment or anger, Hazel laughed wholeheartedly, gaining the attention of other girls too.

"You do not need to worry about me but yourself. Do you think he would let you live if you returned to him?

If that would have been the case, he would not have brought you here to kill you. You know he's the one behind it unlike these fools. Don't you?" She raised a brow when the maid lowered her head and lost all the colors of her face.

That was all they needed to know.

"I can assure you your safety and I will make sure that you will be sent to a safe place where you can live freely after that.

If you want, I can even keep you as my personal maid. You just have to spill all the beans and witness in front of the crowd.`` Hazel knew that the girl was afraid so she did not press her for a reply.

The maid stayed silent but did not refuse clearly this time.

"And all of you.. I saw another girl with him last night. If you do not believe me, then you can check yourself. If you want revenge, I can help you!" she offered, it would be better as much as girls would speak against him.

Honor and respect is what he had preached all his life. It would be great if everyone of the girl would state that he was a womanizer and treat them as objects.

They all exchanged glances as if communicating their thoughts with each other. All of them were furious that they were lied to and betrayed but standing against the future emperor when the present emperor could leave his position anytime would be a foolish decision.

Even if they all were announced as concubines, it would be a better deal than supporting Hazel.

"So, you all still wanted to trust the man who had tried to kill you! What a great decision." she clapped slowly as if mocking them when they looked away.

Their faces were filled with embarrassment but they did not try to refute her.

Hazel felt a surge of anger in her heart. She knew that the girls were fools but who would have thought that they did not care about their life in front of their greed.

"I will not force you even if I have saved you. If your final decision is to return back to Vincent, then go ahead." she waved her hands in the air as if asking the girls to leave who exchanged their glances again and stood up together.

"You do not need to worry. We will not tell him about our meeting!" ha! The nerve of these women! Did they think everyone is fearful or greedy like them who would try to behave good in front of him and mock him behind his back.

She felt it was hard to control her anger for long if they continued to stand in front of her. She clenched her hands into a tight fist as she scoffed.

"I do not care if you tell him. In fact, go and tell him this instant so that he would come out of his hole and face me.

Now leave, I will not give you a lift." she sneered as the girl's eyes widened but they scurried away as they felt fear from Hazel.

Only the maid was left who was still sitting on the ground while lowering her head.

"Are you not going with them?" Hazel tapped her feet on the ground and annoyance was clear on her face. She could not understand how their mind worked and how they could think of their greed when their life was at stake.

"Damn!" she wanted to curse now. The maid slowly raised her head but shook it.

"No! I am going to pay you by helping you rather than going to the person who tried to kill me."
