Chapter 148 - Sour



Gustin, Claudia, Kaela, and Nefriti were stunned when they heard the voice of Adeline. They were talking in that room thinking that Adeline was still unconscious. But when they knew that she had been listening to them all along, their heart was about to explode due to excessive beating.

They all had unintentionally revealed their identities to Adeline and they all had even confessed what they had done to her and Rion.

And they were terrified thinking that they were now doomed. If the King found out what they had done to Adeline, which he inevitably would if they would let Adeline walk out alive, then they could not even think what punishment they would be getting.

Nefriti even feared that they wouldn\'t be allowed to take the test which was due in a few days.

Before they could do anything to Adeline, she jumped up on her feet and faced in the direction from where the voices were coming. "Please tell me that you were playing some prank on me but some of you messed up and gave me an overdose of the sedative. And we all can forget that this ever happened."

.

Adeline tried to be nice to them because they were still her half-siblings and she would probably have to share the same Palace with them for the rest of her life if none of them decided to move out even after not being selected as the future ruler. And she did not want the relationship between them to sour.

Nefriti and Kaela were already considering accepting Adeline\'s offer.

They were planning to beat Adeline up, maybe break a few of her bones so that she wouldn\'t be able to use her full strength in the test. And after beating her, they were planning to send her off to the Palace in her horse, without revealing to her who they were. But she took a long time to wake up and they happened to reveal who they were before they even got to execute their plan.

But before the Princesses could accept Adeline\'s offer, Claudia spoke while taunting the others, "I told you all that we should have beaten her up while she was still unconscious. We wouldn\'t have been found out by our dearest sister if we had just done that. But no, the three of you didn\'t think it was right to beat her when she was defenseless."

She glared at the blindfolded Adeline and stepped closer to her. Then she said in a loud and angry voice so that Adeline could hear her clearly, "Now I guess we don\'t have any other option than killing her."

"What? Are you out of your mind?" Gustin grabbed Claudia\'s hand and pulled her backward. "I clearly told you before that we aren\'t killing anyone. She is our sister!"

Nefriti ran close to Claudia and then whispered in as soft a voice as she could, "Yeah, let\'s apologize to her and then return back to the Palace. It\'s already dark and the guards will know if we are not inside the Palace. If we do something to Adeline and if someone finds out that we all were missing tonight, then they will know sooner or later that we were behind whatever happened to Adeline."

Adeline stood still and kept on listening to the back and forth that was going on inside the room. She had managed to stand up at one go but her strength was not fully back yet. So she let them talk while she was focusing on moving her muscles and regaining her strength.

Kaela, on the other hand, was standing beside the door and was constantly looking outside to check if someone was around. They had brought Adeline to a secluded place but she was still worried that someone would notice the horse that was outside and they might try to steal it.

And worse, they might end up listening to the conversation that was going on inside of the room. It would complicate things even more.

Claudia glared at her partners in crime. She was starting to regret trusting them all and including them in her plan. She shouted at Nefriti and Gustin, "We went through all those troubles just so we could apologize to her and return back? And are all of you that naïve to think that Adeline would keep everything hush if we let her go free?"

Gustin glanced at Adeline to see that she was still standing on the same spot. He pointed at her and said in frustration, "Does she look like she was lying to us earlier. Don\'t you see it? If she had wanted then she could have already tried to attack us but she didn\'t, did she?"

Adeline was now bored with all their arguments. And more than bored, she was itching to return back to the Palace so that no one would find out she was missing, especially Theodore. "Yes, if I wanted to then I could have already beaten you all and ran away. But I don\'t want us to turn our heads away whenever we meet each other in the future. So please, stop arguing and leave from here."

But Claudia saw through Adeline\'s tough act. She smirked and then mocked Adeline, "You are just trying to act tough when in reality you are not even back to your full strength." She glanced at the others and declared, "I am going to finish what we all started together. I don\'t care if you want to join in or if you want to be a bystander."

Claudia clenched her fist and then dashed towards Adeline before Gustin could stop her again. But she was wrong to assume that Adeline would even require her full strength to take her down.

Adeline didn\'t want to beat her sister but if she was asking for it then she was going to get it. Adeline could have easily taken off her blindfold and even broke the rope to free her hands. But she knew that she could easily take down all of them even when she was tied and blindfolded, so she didn\'t even bother.

Adeline could clearly hear where Claudia was and what attack she was going to throw at her. When Claudia\'s fist was close to her cheek, Adeline ducked to the side and then punched Claudia on her stomach with her tied hands.

Claudia let out a small grunt because of the pain she felt. But she was not going to step back just after a punch from Adeline. She had been taking many more punches from her during the practice sessions. So she took a step forward and then threw a kick aiming for Adeline\'s head.

But Adeline grabbed Claudia\'s foot with ease and swiftly turned around while holding the latter\'s foot above her shoulder. Then she lifted Claudia and threw her on the floor with so much force that the wooden floorboard was cracked and Claudia was stuck on the broken floor.
