45 Fight Back

Azariah’s POV

“My girl!” My mother exclaimed and rushed to my room.

As Mrs. Windsor, she rarely loses her temper like this.

She rushed into my bedroom and saw me sitting on the bed wrapped in a blanket. She exclaimed again, as if she were going to faint, and her maids hurried to her arms and back. After she stood still, she wiped her tears and hugged me.

“How could this happen? What would you do? My daughter?” My mother cried sadly.

“It's okay, mom,” I said, holding her hand to calm her down. “It's already happened. Instead of crying over spilled milk, we should do something.”

My calm made my mother stop crying, she closed her eyes and sighed, “What can we do? Many people now know that your v.irginity was taken away by Nuri. No man will marry you anymore, and you will be laughed at by everyone. Oh, my poor daughter, what should you do?”

“Mom, don't cry,” I pressed my temples. My mother is so emotional, “Mom, People's opinions change over time. Whether they laugh at me depends on my status rather than my v.irginity. If I become a self-destructive woman, even the poor will laugh at me. But if I became a woman with more wealth and power, people would forget what happened today and continue to compliment me.”

When mother heard what I said, she was deep in thought. “But... but no man will marry a woman who has lost her v.irginity.”

“Mom, do you remember how Diana married into the Hernandez Family?”

My mother froze.

She understood what I meant.

“Why are you doing this?” She raised her hand and tried to slap me in the face. But she didn't have the heart to hit me after all. She hit her hand on the post of the bed.

“You're insulting yourself! You're insulting the Windsor Family! What did I teach you? You're one of the most noble girls in the capital. Why don't you love yourself?”

“There is a price to pay for success. If I miss Nuri, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

“Why are you so stupid? There are so many young men from noble families in the capital, you have many choices if you want. I know you like Nuri, and your father is planning to talk to him. You could have married him in a noble way, but why did you do it?”

“My father will not succeed,” I shouted excitedly. “Nuri is mesmerized by Sibyl now. He will reject us.”

“Why do you have to marry him?” My mother looked miserable. She must be disappointed in me now.

“You don't know him. He's ambitious.”

“He has a grudge against the royal family. Your marriage to him will not benefit our family.”

“He will be the future king.”

There was a sudden silence in the bedroom.

My mother looked at me with her eyes wide open, and then she suddenly gave up and said helplessly, “You've grown up and you have your own ideas. This is something you did yourself. I hope you don't regret it.”

“Mom. When I become his queen, We Windsor will become the greatest family. Those who have been against us in the past will kneel before us. My children will be the next king. You will be the king's grandparents. My brother will be the king's uncle. Our pride can grow and the Windsor family will be the most respected family in the country.”

My mother listened to me, and her expression told me that she was tempted.

“Nuri is not an ordinary person. He is destined to be a legend. I love him. Only I am worthy of him and only the Windsor family can share in his future success.”

“What if you fail?”

“There are risks to any success. I'm willing to try. We've been beaten down by the Queen's family, and now it's time to fight back. This is the best chance. And I love Nuri, I want to be his wife, I want to give birth to his children.”

“But he already has a wife.”

I laughed. “It's a war between women. I won't lose to Sibyl.”

My mother did not speak again. She held me tight and stroked the wound on my shoulder, her eyes showing a mother's concern.

“Don't be afraid, mom. The plan has begun. We have no choice.”

Sibyl’s POV

When I saw Nuri and Azariah lying in bed, I felt my vision go black.

I must have been hallucinating.

I shook my head and breathed hard to get my vision back to normal.

Their naked bodies came into my eyes again.

The room was full of ambiguities. Their clothes were scattered on the floor, and the quilts and sheets on the bed were untidy. Azariah lay on the bed, her face flushed, her eyes blurred, her legs wrapped around Nuri's waist, and she moaned.

Nuri lay on top of her, pressed against her.

I felt the blood rush from my body to my head. My head hurts like it's going to explode. My eardrums were throbbing with pain, and the ringing in my ears made it impossible for me to hear anything around me.

My heart doesn't seem to be working. I can't breathe...

What am I supposed to say?

My stomach started to cramp and I didn't want to cry hysterically like a crazy woman.

I remember Nuri saying he didn't love Azariah. I remember him saying he loved me...

But this is my bedroom. Why are they having s.ex in my bedroom?

“Get out.” I opened my mouth to say this, but my throat was silent.

I hate this image. I don't want to see them hugging naked again.

I turned and ran out of the bedroom, then my eyes went black again and I lost consciousness.

……

When I woke up again, I was in my bedroom at Rodriguez Castle.

“Your Grace,” Amy said with tears in her eyes, “If you're sad, just cry. Don't torture yourself.”

I shook my head. I feel like my senses are numb right now. I can't even tell how I feel.

“Where's Nuri?” My voice was hoarse.

“Wayde took him to the army. He told me Sir Rodriguez had been drugged and he was going to take him to the army to find his personal doctor.”

Drugged?

Was Nuri forced to have s.ex with Azariah?

The thought comforted me, but my heart ached again. Even though Nuri was framed, he had s.ex with Azariah.

“Your grace, don't be sad. Azariah has seduced your husband in such a despicable way. This is disgusting. Let's go to her house, grab her by the hair and slap her hard in the face. Isn't she always so full of herself? Now let everyone see what she really is. You don't have to be afraid. The Knights of the Rodriguez family will protect us. Let's go to the Windsor family castle now.”

I was hesitating, but Amy was already dressing me.

“You're Mrs. Rodriguez. You have the right to kick the b.itch who stole your husband,” Amy said, getting angrier. 1

Amy's right. I can't be a woman who just shuts herself in and cries. I have to express my anger.

Many women want to marry Nuri. If I show weakness this time, then all the other women will learn from Azariah.

After getting dressed, Amy gave me a nice make-up. Just as we were about to leave the house, the servant said that Azariah's mother had come.

Why is she coming so fast?

“How dare she come to our castle after what her daughter has done?” Amy said angrily. “Your grace, if you don't want to see her, I'll kick her out.”

“No, Amy, I want to see her,” I thought of grandma's words. I cannot avoid difficulties. I have to face the things that make me feel pain.

I took a deep breath and walked gracefully into the drawing room.

Mrs. Windsor was sitting proudly in the living room in her fancy clothes.

“Hello, Mrs. Windsor,” I said in a relaxed tone.

“Hello, Mrs. Rodriguez,” she said, looking at me, surprised that I was so calm.

“I didn't send you an invitation, but you came to my house. I guess you have something important to say. Go ahead.”

I sat in the middle chair, admiring my nails as I spoke.

There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her expression. “I think you already know what happened today.”

“What?” I looked at her quizzically. “I haven't heard anything interesting today.”

“In the palace, your husband met my daughter.”

“Oh? My husband? My husband met a lot of people in the palace. Did anything special happen?”

I stared at her, waiting for her words.
