Due to so many gifts and other nobles flattering him, he was afraid that the crown prince would pass a sarcastic comment or would say anything that would humiliate him in front of everyone.
"Remember to get the papers of contract from me and take your sister with you.
She will make sure that your all needs would be tended to and you will not be bullied there! After all, she is well versed in conversation among noble ladies!"
Though hazel was favored by the crown prince, it would not be the case with the crown princess and her majesty who would give more value to the etiquettes and conversation.
George was sure that Hazel had never handled that kind of situation, while Amelia had grown up in that kind of environment only. She had always been a proud social representative of the family.
"Of course, how could I forget that! I will of course take Amelia with me. But there is still time for that.
I have some urgent work to tend to today.`` Hazel cut the egg with her fork and took a piece of it.
"I will tell you when we decide on a plan. But for now, I will not be at home till night." with that she turned silent and concentrated on her food.
She wanted her father to feel at edge. To be desperate and confused, so that when the time would come, she would strike easily and he would not pay much attention to the details.
"But what are you so busy watching?" he asked with a frown but she did not reply anymore as she only concentrated on her food.
"Hazel! You are making your father furious!" whispered Amelia in a loud voice so that even her father would see how much she cared about him and how Hazel behaved!
She could not bear that she was the one who was getting all the attention even when she knew it was nothing but a facade.
"Ohh.. he did not need to worry. I will handle the matter well. Didn't the crown prince agree to my words easily?
But if I do not deal with the matter, he might be angry and then we will not get his fair share anymore!" she replied with a conflicted look on her face as if she was facing a big dilemma,
"But if you still think that I should handle the matter of father first while ignoring what the crown princes expects from me, then I would do as you all say!" her voice full of uneasiness as if she did not know what to do. But this was enough to create panic on George's face.
"What are you talking about? You should have told that his majesty had asked you to do something! I would have never disturbed you then." he corrected, he did not think that his majesty would misunderstand him.
Their relationship was still new.. It needed time and effort to make it strong.
"Are you sure father?" she asked George and then passed a smug look to Amelia who was sitting on the other side, even though her precious seat was given to Hazel now.
"Yes! You do not need to worry about these small matters. If you have urgent work, tend to it first." he nodded his head again and again to assure them as he finished his food in a hurry.

"I have a few things to check too. I will see both of you at night!" with that he wiped his face from the napkin and stood up.
Instead of walking closer to Amelia, he went to Hazel and kissed his forehead,
"Take care of yourself and take any knight or money from the treasures you need!" He was sure that if the matter was related to the crown prince then the expenditure would only be an investment that would return back ten fold later.
"Thank you father, I would!" though she felt nauseated with the touch. She still tried to maintain her face.
She still wanted to see the jealousy in the eyes of Amelia. For years, she had been neglected but none cared about it
And now that all the care was given to her, she wanted Amelia to feel what she had suffered for ages.
Once her father was gone, her eyes fell on the girl who was gritting her teeth even though the fork in her hands had changed its shape due to the pressure she was using on it.
She ate a few mouthfuls of food with a satisfied smile on her face and then dabbed her mouth with the napkin too.
"Now excuse me sister. I have a few things to handle. I hope you still remember the offer I have given you!" Hazel muttered as she looked at seething Amelia and stood up ready to leave when she saw Richard finally coming into the dining room.
Her eyes narrowed on his face that was full of sweat that even his hair had turned wet.
"Where have you been? I have been looking for you since this morning!" she asked in a worried voice as she took hasty steps towards him.
"I was getting bored so I decided to take a run. I am fine, you do not need to worry!" Although he always spoke in a cold voice, this time Hazel felt that his voice was distant.
But she shook her head as she felt that she was thinking too much about it.
"Oh! Then have your breakfast. I will give you company!" she held his hands but he gently took his hand away from her arms earning a frown from her.
"I have already finished my breakfast.
I have it the way I should, you do not need to wait for me." with that he gave her a look from tip to toe and then asked,
"You are already ready to leave! Then why are you wasting your time! You should leave since it is your first day and you have a lot of things to handle!" though he was right, she still felt that was something of a miss but she could not tell what it was!
"Well, are you coming with me then?"
