Villains also get Second chance

Chapter 179: accusive voice

This man! Even when he helped, it was always rude, was he not behaving differently a while ago? Yet when the knights came he became cold again.

"Be careful" I yelled anxiously as I almost fell from his arms.

"Well, if you want me to hold you properly then hold me too, or else it will be disbalanced" he said as he started walking.

"Seriously, so you're telling me that your strength is not enough to hold me properly." i asked as he behaved so childishly.

"Of course i have strength, but my muscles had turned stiff from sitting all the time and you are quite heavy too.'' I saw the knights stumbling just when he said that, and I wished there would be a way to dig a hole, so that i could bury him right there.

"So you don't even know how to walk now, i think it is time to change my group of knights" he said in an icy tone, and they all became more alert if possible.

The whole way I held him tight, but did not speak a single more word, in case he would say something embarrassing again.

All of us were silent as we reached  the palace again, the knights were not even breathing properly in case they gained more of his ire. 

"I think i can walk from here." I said in an authoritative tone, but he just ignored me as he walked towards my chamber.

"Your highness, don't be this stubborn.'' I pleaded as the eyes of maids were looking at us discreetly in utter shock and horror.

When we reached our chamber, Roselia and my maids were already standing at the door, waiting for me.

They looked at us, with shock and amazement and I closed my eyes again, surely the headache would only increase with their questions.

It was clear from her face that Roselia wanted to ask me a pile of questions, but Cassius was next to me, making it difficult to open her mouth.

"What happened, Your highness?"

Roselia asked me the moment Cassius left me on my bed, as the maids were also looking interested who were drying my wet body with towels in front of the heater. 

I drank the hot rosemary tea that Penny had brought while saying nothing, and then I opened her mouth as if I had finished thinking.

"I went into the depths of the forest and his highness, came to rescue me. we also thought it was unreasonable to move right away when the rain had started and I was injured. That is how this happened."

"I was worried. It was a good thing that nothing happened because if there were those that had impure intentions, something bad might have happened."

Nothing had happened as a result, but I wasn't quite in the right to push out these facts. I looked sorry and apologized to her.

"I am sorry, Sir Roselia. It is my fault."

"Anyways I'm glad that nothing happened. We were very worried."

"How did you hurt your hand, your highness"

"The horse was not trained enough, it bit me when i tried to touch its head" 

"I am going to have to retrain that horse. If you want, I can blame the person in charge."

"That is too much. You do not have to go that far. Just give a fair warning."

"Okay."

As soon as I finished speaking, the palace physician entered, and bowed in front of me.

"Your highness, i am here to treat your hand," he said after giving me the proper greetings.

"Glad that you called the physician, Sir Roselia." I praised and she shook her head.

"Lina was the one who went to call the physician but he was already on his way to come here." she said apologetically, as if she was ashamed for her incompetency.

I raised a brow as i looked at him, 

"Your highness, his highness has summoned me for treating your hand." he said and they all looked at me with questioning gaze, as if there was a story to tell.

Thank goodness, the physician did not pay any heed to that and then immediately began treatment. The white handkerchief that had been previously tied by Cassius was already hardened with dried blood. The palace physician spoke while in the midst of treating.

"I am glad you stopped the bleeding right away, Your highness. It could possibly lead to a scar, but I will try to stop that from happening as much as possible."

"Please do."

I responded shortly and soon fell back into deep thought. What was he doing now? How would the events that had happened in the forest would have influenced him?

"Your highness, Lord Killian is here." 

I nodded as I looked at the door where he was entering, he was looking angry and worried.

"Mother, why did you do that?" he asked with a glare, this was the first time he glared at me, yet he looked so cute.

"I went for a small trip to the forest, it was a nice place. We will go there together sometime." i added, coughing a bit, ignoring the accusing gazes he had.

"You should have waited for us. Or at least taken a few knights with you. Aunt Isabella and I were so worried about you. Thank goodness we convinced father to go and look for you. He seemed to be very angry, his face was turned red" he said, shaking his head, and my eyes hardened.

"Killian, I thought you have strained your relationship with Isabella now." I asked cutting the chase and he turned silent.

"Well, I was upset with my aunt for a false case, but in the end it was all a misunderstanding and I had stopped talking with her for a long time because of that.

But now that aunt came personally to apologise to me, i can not stay angry anymore. Moreover she was punished enough by spending time in an underground cell. Don't you think mother, that you have already done enough.'' His tone was still accusive though mild, but he blamed me for things that happened, this was the first time he did so, suddenly what had changed! Was he not convinced to be against Isabella?
