Chapter 64 [Bonus chapter] Gain Sympathy!
But the thought of someone behind her was so terrifying that she froze at her place when she heard the knock on the door!
After a few seconds, she felt like the mattress on the other side dipped, and the weight of someone fell on the other side of the bed.
She had to cover her mouth to muffle the shriek that was about to escape her lips!
Her body started to freeze as if she was paralyzed. She did not know if she should act like she was sleeping and did not notice the presence of the being or should she take the blanket off and face him or her with cold eyes so that it would leave her alone!
The tears that had started to dry, started to form again in her eyes as she realized her life was nothing but a game of survival from now on!
“My lady, your presence is required in the dining room. Please open the door!” The sound broke her chain of thoughts and she wondered if the being would still be able to attack her if she would run and open the door!
But the person who could enter her room so freely! Would he or she even be afraid of being behind seen by the human maids that were nothing but just their meal!.
Gulping her own saliva, she slowly moved the blanket away from her eyes only and peeked out of the blanket!
“Huh?” a frown formed on her face as she sat up with a start and looked around!
The room was empty as it should be but she was sure there was someone on the bed just a second ago! Or was it just her illusion?
She stood up and bent to see if there was someone hiding under the bed!
The person she was trying to get away from, she left no stone unturned to find him or her!
She checked the bath area, opened and shuffled the whole wardrobe and even looked behind the curtain but was not able to find anyone!
“My lady! What shall I say to them?” a sigh escaped her lips as she let go of the blanket she was checking and walked towards the door.
Taking a deep breath to calm her mind, she opened the door and stared coldly at the maid who had been knocking on the door for hours!
“What is it?” her voice was so cold that the maid shivered and bowed her head instantly!
“My lady, lady Natalie is attending the lunch with us! So, I wanted to know if you would join too!?” three deep lines formed on her forehead hearing the absurd question from the maid!
”What did I have to do with myself, if anyone is attending the lunch or not!? I am not hungry so I will not attend it!” The maid did not leave after getting her reply but instead stood there with a pale face as if she had heard a death sentence that confused Hazel!
“What is it now?” shouldn’t she leave after getting her reply? Why was she here in the first place?
She was sure no one would miss her or worry about her if she would not attend the lunch! Then why did it feel like the maid would be punished if she was absent!
Without thinking much about it, she tended to walk towards her bed again, she felt a cold breeze touching her neck and her eyes snapped towards the open window that was still swinging with the breeze and the curtains that were flying!
Why had she not thought of it before? She ran towards the window as if her life was dependent on it and looked out but there was nothing! Yet she was sure the windows were closed when she had laid on the bed!
Could it be! The fact that someone can enter her room and go out of it without anyone realizing even when she would be one fourth floor left her shivering there.
“Then, I shall go and inform everyone not to wait for you anymore!” The maid finally got her voice back but it was still so miserable as if she could not bear to leave and was still waiting for a miracle to happen when Hazel snapped her neck towards her!
She was about to nod but then her eyes widened and an idea finally formed in her mind!
“No! Wait! On second thought, I did not have lunch with all of them after my first meal in the palace.
It would be nice if I could spend some time with them!
Help me in dressing up properly, I will join the lunch!” finally the pale face of the maid showed a hint of life as a sigh of relief left her mouth!
“Yes, yes, my lady!
