Abigail pov contd

\'Have you ever seen someone digging their own grave? If not you could see me. I didn\'t even know how this shrew had acted so innocently! For a moment I felt that his pain was real. And before i could understand i was consoling him already. As if I could not bear to see him sad no matter what the matter was! 

Have I gone crazy! Yes! Or else why would I fall for such a cheap trick. I blinked looking at him when he proposed to me so blatantly. But before  I could reply, he chuckled. 

"Oh my, little bird. Just look at your face. Who would have thought that it was so easy to tease the brave knight who was making her name in the whole empire as the strongest girl" he shook his head as he could not believe it and then wiped his eyes. Tears had formed in his eyes due to laughing so hard.

"It is not even funny. Forget about laughing so hard. If I did not know any better, I would have thought that you have gone crazy.`` I retorted back but he was not affected a bit.

He continued laughing and his eyes continued to be wet.

"Kirian, would you help lady Abi in going back to the entrance and escort her to her carriage?" Kirian came out of his hidden spot and stood behind me silently.

I gave one last look to the man who was looking strange to me and then turned and walked away. Why did I feel so irritated when he was laughing like that? 

\'Ha! Of course, I would feel irritated, since he was making fun of me.\' With that thought I felt better.

"You are joining us for hunting tomorrow?"  he asked and I nodded.

His look was still strange, well each of the knights of the crown prince was strange. So, I felt better when I reached the carriage.

"My sister?" I asked , looking at him and he pursed his lips. 

"We have escorted her home. It is better that you ask her what happened." with that he turned and left. 

"Did that mean something happened?" I remembered that she was pushed on the ground after her exam went well and she was bragging a lot, but that was done by me. Since I was not there, who still had the courage to do that to the daughter of the duke!

"Drive faster, I need to go home urgently." the coachman was surprised to hear the urgency in my voice and nodded.,

"Yes, my lady."

He drove the carriage at full speed ,and I closed my eyes.

It felt like it took an eternity to reach the palace. I opened the door myself instead of waiting for the coachman or guard to do it.

When I walked in, there was silence. I was expecting everyone to be in the hall and my stepmother would make an issue of it. These days she was too silent. I had not seen her or talked to her even once after the ferris wheel accident. I had thought that she would at least cry and blame me or others for the incident. But it looked like no one even knew about it.

"Wait, where is lady Isabella?" I used to be the servant cleaning the stairs.

"Lady Isabella in her chamber. She was too tired after the exam so her grace has asked her to take rest.`` I nodded and then I moved towards her chamber.

Two knights were standing at the door who stopped my way.

"My lady, lady Isabella is sleeping and she had denied anyone to enter the chamber." Since that day I have been coming and going in her room freely. So, if the knights were stopping me today, it only meant that she had ordered them to do so.

I took a deep breath and let the matter go. Maybe giving her some time to feel better was a wise choice. But it did not mean that I could not do anything about it.

"Who has escorted lady Isabella home?" I asked her knight. There was no way she was alone.

"My lady is escorted by the side of sir Nickolas.\'\' I frowned, heating his words. I was sure Derek was gone with Nickolas for taking a round of the knight academy.

"By any chance are you talking about sir Derek?" I asked and he shook his head.

"No, my lady. The new aide that often comes here and works with lady Isabella." 

"Oh, I get it. Thank you.\'\' With that I turned and left.

"Ask the new aide of sir Nickolas to come and meet me in the training ground." I ordered the maid who was standing there with the knights.

"Yes, my lady"

I took a deep breath and decided to change my clothes first before going to the training ground. When I reached my room Beth was waiting for me there anxiously. Her face was white that made me frown.

"Is there any problem?" I asked and only then did she notice my presence.

She shook her head but there were already tears in her eyes.

"No, no my lady. Would you like to have evening snacks or would you like to take a bath first?" she asked, bowing her head.

"Are you sure there is no problem? I can give you an extra leave or some money if that is what you are worried about?" i said kindly but instead of feeling relieved more tears started flowing from her eyes.

"Beth, if you continue to cry, there is no way that I would understand your problem. Would you talk rather than shaking your head?" a headache started forming with all this. Why could I not have some moment of peace? I rubbed my forehead, and gave her one last look. she wiped her tears and then spoke in a scared way.

"Your highness my nephew.. He beat someone in the academy. and now they are trying to expel him or more beat him."

"............."
