173: 47 Diana B.itch

47 Diana B.itch

Azariah’s POV

“Oh, my dear Azariah, I heard you were pregnant.” I heard Diana's voice before she could enter my room.

I frown. I don't want to see her today.

The door opened, and my maid trotted up to me and whispered, “Diana came to visit you with a lot of people. I said you were resting and couldn't see them, but she insisted on seeing you.”

“I see. You go and make some hawthorn rose tea.”

I know Diana came here today to make fun of me. She's not going back until she gets what she wants.

“Oh, my darling.” She ran to me. She wore a concerned look on her face and took my hand kindly.

I shook her hand off. “What are you doing?”

Diana put her hand on her chest and made a sad face, “Oh, please don't say that. When I heard the bad news, I was worried about you. How are you? Are you okay now? I brought your friends and the doctor to see you.”

I tilted my head and saw a lot of people standing behind Diana.

These are all girls of noble families in the capital. They used to be so careful around me to please me that they were willing to take my spit-out grape skins with their hands. But now when I encounter some difficulties, they cannot wait to flock to laugh at me.

I glanced at them and asked the maid to fix my nails. “I don't need a doctor,” I said. “Nuri was just too excited to control him. But we're engaged, and that's okay.”

“Really? Has Nuri Rodriguez agreed to marry you?” Diana looked me in the eye and asked deliberately.

“What do you think?” I asked her instead of answering the question.

She smiled with her handkerchief over her mouth, “You've already slept in the same bed... Hey, he will definitely take responsibility for you. I heard that you were injured. Nuri is really inconsiderate. I brought two female doctors with me today. I hope you can recover quickly.”

I subconsciously gripped the collar of my dress. “Thank you. I don't think I need any doctors.”

“Don't be shy.” Several girls surrounded me and held my arm.

“What are you doing!” I got angry.

Diana violently ripped my collar, exposing my shoulders to their eyes.

A female doctor smeared a cold liquid on my shoulder. Soon, a red dot appeared on my shoulder.

“My Azariah, you are still a v.irgin!” Diana's voice was so loud that the women in the room could hear it.

“You!” I broke free from their hands and flushed with anger.

I forgot Diana, as my cousin, knew the secrets of our family girls. In the Windsor family, when every girl is born, the witch leaves a mark on our shoulder. The Mark is made from the blood of a color-changing lizard. The mark will lose its color after a few years, making it invisible to the eye, but when exposed to sea salt water, it will show up as a red dot.

This mark is used to check whether a girl is a virgin or not. If we are not v.irgins, this mark will disappear.

“What's going on?”

“Isn't she sleeping with Nuri?”

The girls in the room were whispering.

Diana grabbed my hand and showed the red mark on my shoulder again. She shouted, “Look, my cousin Azariah is a v,irgin. All you've heard are rumors. Nuri is married. He loves his wife. Why would he sleep with my cousin? I guess someone must have spread the rumor on purpose to discredit my cousin.”

I stared at her, not knowing what to say.

This is the first time I've ever been angry without being able to yell.

Diana pretended to understand, “Oh, Azariah, you are so naive. You must have stumbled into a room where Nuri was sleeping, and you were lying in his bed. Nuri never made love to you, but you thought you did, didn't you?”

“Shut your mouth!” I want to rip her mouth out right now!

“But why did you go into the room where Nuri slept?” Said Diana in a puzzled voice. “Do you still love Nuri and want to marry him?”

Diana immediately covered her mouth. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that.”

I was so angry that I broke my nails. This b.itch, she did this on purpose. She purposely proved to everyone that I was a v.irgin, and then implied that I had shamelessly slept in Nuri's bed and wanted to have s.ex with him, but he refused. Damn it!

She turned me from a victim into a vicious woman who stole Sibyl's husband.

“Get out! Get out!” I was so angry that I threw the china to the ground.

The women looked at me in surprise.

“Get out of my castle!” As the woman of the Windsor family, I had never been so insulted.

“Oh, Azariah, why are you so angry? Even if Nuri refuses to marry you, you can still marry other noble men,” Diana continued. She didn't pass up any chance to insult me.

Pa!

I walked right up to her and slapped her across the face.

Her body wobbled and she almost fell.

“What are you doing?” She had a clear slap mark on her face.

“I'm lecturing you,” I said, tugging at her collar. “No matter what happens, I am a Windsor daughter. I'm nobler than you, prettier than you, richer than you! Don't you forget how humbly your father begged my father to help him over 10 years ago. If it weren't for my parents, your family would still be farming in the countryside. You are just a pheasant, and you actually think you are the Phoenix after coming to the capital. You b.itch! You're lower than a maid to me, and you're judging me? You committed adultery before marriage and got married into the Hernandez family by getting pregnant. Now you come to me and play the innocent woman.”

Pa!

I slapped her again. Her face is now red and swollen like a bee sting.

“Don't be angry,” said the girls, trying to smooth things over and stop us from going to war.

“And you.” I glanced at the girls, “Why did you come to my house today? You don't speak, but I know why. I know you want to see me make a fool of myself. Well, anyway, my status is higher than yours, and my marriage is destined to be better than yours. If you ever cross me with Diana again, I'll make sure you don't get a foothold in the capital!”

“This is a misunderstanding...” the girls bowed to me and apologized, then left my castle with Diana.

I sat in the room, still angry.

Even though I shocked them today, they will still talk about what happened today as gossip. Tomorrow, the whole capital will know that Nuri rejected me. I am still a virgin.

Damn it!

My plan failed just like that.

I called my maid and had her buy off some of the palace servants.

I have to do something before Diana puts the word out.

A few hours later, a lot of gossip came out from the palace. The servants, the commoners, and the nobles all heard the news. “Azariah Windsor and Nuri Rodriguez were framed and locked in the same room, but Azariah Windsor maintained her ladylike upbringing and kept her distance from Nuri Rodriguez until the servants came to rescue them.”

This is a decent way to handle this, and I'm sure Nuri will love this explanation.

As for the few people who have seen us naked in bed-they are my maids. They don't give away secrets.

And, of course, Sibyl. I don't care what Sibyl thinks. I even hope she thinks we're having s.ex, so they'll fight.

My plan failed this time, but fortunately it didn't have a bad ending. I'm still a virgin and have saved my family name. 0

Diana's a b.itch. I'm gonna make her pay.

People love to gossip, so a lot of people will be talking about me these days. But people are also forgetful, and when new gossip comes along, they don't care what happens between Nuri and me.

I had to disappear for a while to hasten people's forgetting about it.

With my mother's help, I left the capital quietly at night.

My counter-attack did not stop. The next day, word spread throughout the capital that Diana was pregnant before she got married. At the same time, her father lost some of his power as a low-ranking official.

This is just a small warning.

I'm only leaving the capital temporarily. I'm not giving up Nuri.

Princess Sibyl, we'll see. One day I'll be the only Mrs. Rodriguez, and you'll be nothing.
