Don't Come to Wendy's Flower House

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Don’t come to the coronation at noon (7)

It was the sacred beacon that heralded the rise of the new emperor.

They were the flames that burnt away evil spirits and brought in the opening of a new age under a new emperor.

Wendy bit her lower lip and looked at the southeast of the palace. She saw a lot of smoke. Greater flames than the first beacon of the imperial palace were rising in the vicinity.

Black smoke constantly rose into the sky in sharp contrast to the white smoke of the beacon of the palace! Only then did Wendy fully understand the reason for the fire at Cheddar Palace.

The flames were a clear signal to deny the new emperor’s ascension to the throne.

At the same time, the flames revealed to all the people in the capital that the duke did not approve of Emperor Isaac von Benyjahan.

“Ah… ” She moaned a little and bit her lip. It wasn’t because she felt scared about the fluid political situation, but because she felt immense anxiety about the growing flames.

“Sir Schroder, Sir Schroder,” she murmured his name repeatedly.

Lard was there trying to control the flames. She wanted to believe in his safety, but she found her heart pounding too hard to pray for his safe return. The soaring black smoke and burning flames seemed to indicate that nobody would emerge safely, and she began to think foolishly that Lard was no exception.

She began to walk away as if she was determined. Even if she went to the scene of the flames, there was nothing she could do, but she thought she had to do something.

“Ouch!”

The moment she was about to turn, she screamed because someone grabbed her wrist roughly.

“Can you feel the pain now?” Mrs. Hazlet asked, with her face close to Wendy with a smirk.

“Let go of my wrist!”

“You’re frowning at this little pain! As you know, Francis was beaten severely enough to turn into a living corpse from flogging because of you! You bitch!”

Mrs. Hazlet roared fiercely as if to kill her. Birds chirping on the oak tree outside the balcony flew away because of her shrill voice.

“… Did you say ‘pain’ to me a moment ago? ”

Wendy trembled, looking at Mr. Hazelet’s resentful expression. When she heard such harsh words, Wenndy felt her initial anxiety and fear quickly disappeared. Her uncontrollable hostility and anger dominated her mind.

“Yes, you’re absolutely right, Mrs. Hazlet, because pain is not a feeling that only Francis feels. I also have suffered pain many times because of Francis. Don’t you know that Francis paid the price for her crimes? Don’t ever think that the pain your daughter has inflicted on me is insignificant, while her pain is enormous.”

“Are you telling me now that you didn’t do anything wrong?”

“Lower your voice!”

At somebody’s sudden voice, Wendy turned her eyes to the balcony door. She could not help but scoff at the owner of the voice. He looked so funny and miserable that she almost broke into laughter.

“I can’t imagine how miserable you would look after not seeing you for a few years, Earl Hazlet! How come you’re on the lookout there in front of the door?”

His face turned white at Wendy’s sneering. He stared at her with a displeased expression then lowered his voice as if he was concerned that his voice might be heard by somebody in the coronation hall.

“… Olivia, what are you doing here? You left my house without my permission then you changed your status and even filed a complaint against your sister. Why are you so mean and cruel?”

From the beginning Wendy and Francis had no warm feelings toward each other, and he knew that very well. She was speechless by his nonsensical words. She found it even hard to calm down her troubled mind.

“… Are you telling me now you don’t know what terrible things you did to me?” Wendy retorted, staring into his eyes. She was raging with anger that his eyes didn’t show any sense of guilt.

“…Maybe that’s why you secretly made a marriage certificate without me knowing and tried to sell me like you would sell a mule. ”

“Selling you? What the heck are you talking about, you bitch!”

“Do you know what makes me the most angry? The reason I really got upset about it was not because you tried to sell me to that old dotard earl or you pretended that my mother begged you to meet me before death, but because you treated me like a wooden doll with no feelings. Of course, I feel the pain you do. How can you never know that simple fact?”

“Oh, Olivia! You poor child! It looks like you still haven’t admitted that you were an illegitimate child. How can you ask me to appreciate the feelings of a vulgar illegitimate child? ” said Mrs Hazlet sarcastically, suddenly cutting into their conversation.

In the end, their conversation ended as always with the sharp reminder to Wendy that she was an illegitimate child. It was their invincible logic that she could never win.

“It looks like I forgot briefly that you are not the type of humans that I should mingle with me.

I think I should have appreciated the fact that I inherited half of your precious bloodline that made you toy with such dirty thinking! ”

Wendy shouted at them with a sharp look. Unlike the earl who turned his head, clicking his tongue, the countess again pulled Wendy’s wrist roughly and shouted, “… Make the case for Francis’ innocence! If they nullify the ruling on Francis, I’ll no longer bother you. Let me give you the freedom that you want so much, so defend her innocence!” Mrs. Francis said in a commanding tone.

Wendy burst into a mocking laughter and said, “Did she say she was innocent? Don’t you know she hired a guy to do a terrible thing to me? I think you should go back to your estitate with Francis and learn the meaning of innocence. I hope you have a great teacher this time. Oh, I hope you can also realize the meaning of what you told me when you said you would give me the freedom. I can’t believe how ignorant you are!”

“Don’t babble on without thinking!” The countess’ lips twitched bitterly when Wendy harshly retorted as if she wouldn’t budge a bit.

Mrs. Hazlet’s deep anger made her facial muscles tremble.

“Would you like to release your grip on my wrist because I don’t want to engage in useless arguments with you anymore?” Wendy said, trying to pull her wrist from her.

Mrs. Hazlet, full of evil, gripped her wrist with all her strength. A blue vein stood out on her temple. Wendy briefly agonized about whether to use her self-defense skills.

“Stop it, honey. Try to appease her gently. Let’s go now. How long are you going to wrestle with her? ” The earl told his wife out of frustration about their endless argument.

“Olivia, are you really going to fight with me to the end? It looks like you have great trust in the duke knight who has supported you, but how long do you believe he will support you? Do you think he will be safe if I complain to the emperor that he disrupted the order of the empire by threatening Francis and that he tried to disgrace my family because of your crime? If you drive me into a corner like this, I’m going to get even with him brutally. Do you really think this will only end up with the downfall of the Hazlet family? ”

Wendy shut up at her resentful remarks. Although she seemed to beat back the countess’s scornful look calmly, her green eyes trembled slightly. Sensing that, the countess was made a satisfied smile when somebody shouted through the balcony, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure only you go down by all means.”

Wendy instinctively turned her head toward the balcony.

It was Lard Schroder who opened the balcony door where the earl had been standing.

As he pushed the door open, the earl had to move back, wary of him. His curled shoulders and his scared eyes made the earl look funny and weird like a comedian.

“If anyone hurts her or even me, I will pull out his or her eyeballs and cut his or her tongue and ears, and scatter them on the roadside frequented by wild dogs. It was my mistake that I spoke to you with restrained language when I met you last time, Mrs. Hazlet. I regret that I didn’t show you how determined and cruel I could be.”
