Chapter 161: What Do You Say?

—----------------------------

"Please wait for me!" he took his hands back and muttered in such a soft voice that she did not know how to react to it.

Why had her heart started to run a marathon again!?

"Hey, at least wait for the carriage to stop!" she shouted when she saw him jumping from the carriage but he just grinned while looking at her worried face.

"I knew that you love me! But do not show so much care! I would die of a heart attack!" She shook her head and looked at his over exaggerated reaction but took a breath of relief when she realized that he was fine and still had the goal to tease him.

She closed the door and leaned back on the carriage with a frown.

"What a dumb man!" he could have waited for the carriage to stop but no! Hmph! It would have been better if he would have been injured! That would have served him as a lesson.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at the file and started writing. She had not taken the decision out of thin air. When the aide had taken the name, she recalled that she had read about the case. All she needed was to remember important points and then confirm it before the case started.

"Where had that daisy gone when she was needed!?" she muttered as she started jotting down the points.

She did not know how the time had passed, when she was done making the files, they had already reached the royal court.

"We are here for the case of viscount Ravenshire!" she informed the knight who had blocked their way.

The man nodded and opened the door, as they entered, 

When she walked out of the carriage, every eye was settled on her face. They were looking at her with surprise and confusion. Once again she has become the center of attraction in everyone's eyes.

with full confidence, she continued to walk in without caring about the whispers that were feeling in her ears.

"My lady, I must say that I was not expecting you to see here!" muttered Alcastra as he looked at hazel with surprise.

He was sure that this case was assigned to lord Jonathan. Ah! Understanding filled his eyes when the thought crossed his mind.

"Since I have already taken the post, shouldn't the case be handled by me?" there was a hint of confidence in her voice that made Alcastra suspicious.

If Jonathan had not told her that he was the incharge, then he would not have given her any information about the case too.

The case was more complex than it looked. The allegated person was not only a higher noble but also one of the loyal families of the empire.

But the department has claimed that he was cheating the empire by forging accounts and even doing manipulation in taxes. 

In the empire, it was no less than treason and his whole family could be hanged to death if it would be proved.

This was not the case which could be handled by just anyone, let alone by the lady who did not have any idea about the case.

"I understand that, my lady. But I still think that someone who is related to the case should handle the matter. 

Since you have joined the ministry only today. You are not responsible for handling it!" he affirmed and a lot of snickers could be heard from the room.

They all were mocking her, to think that she had been posted to such a high position yet the crown prince did not trust her that she could present a case properly. 

Noticing that they were about to cancel the hearing, everyone stood up when they heard her chuckling.

"If it would have been only about me, then I would have understood. But it is about the life and death of a family. I plead that we should not postpone the matter as it would only be for the family to stay in the prison for long!"  her reply created an uproar, even Alcastra looked surprised by her reply.

"You mean you believe that the man is innocent? Do you even know that it was the ministry who had alleged that the man was committing treason?" he asked in a cold tone.

He could support Hazel with other things up to the limit of even passing the ministry to her but he could not bear that she was putting her nose in everything. His face turned cold with that thought.

"I know and I will apologize for that. I have investigated the matter before joining the ministry and made a report about it.

If you can only read it once, give me some time to research it. I promise that I will not disappoint you, my lord!" She did not lose her calm even when she noticed that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.

She took confident steps towards the crown prince and bowed her head as she forwarded the report she had written in the carriage to the knight.

With annoyed eyes, he took the file and started reading it half heartedly so that he could deny her but his eyes widened when he continued to read it.

"This! This!" 

"I know that it only has facts and theory. But as I said, give me some time and I will collect proofs and submit it to you! But I hope that the report would not go public till that,.

Or I would fail and so will you, my lord!" she replied with the same confidence as her eyes had turned sharp and her voice turned grave!

"Are you claiming that the prince had failed?"

"That was the limit of rudeness, lady Hazel!"

"Who do you think you are!?" 

The whole court ended up in uproar. Even Viscount Ravenshire looked at her with shocked eyes just like others

"I am still waiting for your reply, my lord!"
