"You should not feel guilty, my lord. The lady has left of her own will. You never asked her to leave the palace. You only reminded her that she should know her place.

I think it is due to the pressure the vassal families were putting on her." Hannah rubbed the shoulders of Ethan who was looking out of the window with a gloomy face.

She was irked. Why was he thinking about the girl when he was the one to insult her too. Now he was showing that he cared about Eli. What hypocrisy?

Was it the part of every noble even if they have lived the life of a commoner most of his life.

"She is the only one who has shown me warmth when I came here for the first time.

I am just upset that our relationship ended like that. She left without even bidding me goodbye.

But I think I have hurted her enough for that. Sigh! I am just upset. I think.. My presence broke this family somehow.." he took a deep sigh again as he kept looking out of the window from where he could see Evan and Eli hugging each other.

He could feel how much they both were upset about parting their ways and somehow he felt that he was the one who was behind it.

His harsh words must have triggered Eli. but.. He could not bring himself to apologize.

"You should not think so much. She was not the real daughter of this family anyway and she had to leave one day.`` He did not know why, he felt upset when he heard Hannah speaking though he knew that she was telling the truth and she was only thinking about his welfare.

"Hannah, she was here for all her life. I didn't even know where she would go and live. I. i can not bring myself to go there. But would you do me a favor?" he stood up abruptly without waiting for a reply and rummaged through the files on the cupboard.

Hannah looked at him with a bewildered look but only nodded her head.

"Of course, you do not need to ask me. I am always here to do anything you want me to." She walked closer to him in the pretense of supporting him to see what he was doing when he finally took out a file and flipped through its contents.

"I want you to go there and give it to her." she frowned when he passed the file to her and looked back at his face that looked much better after giving her the file.

"If she asked me what is in the file, what shall I tell her?" she asked softly as she looked at the file but did not dare to open it in front of him.

"It is just a farewell gift that she deserved. Father would have done much more but I still do not have the right to take the financial decisions for the family.

This is what I have received as a welcome gift from my father. I only have this much to give her." her eyes widened with surprise but she nodded and walked out under his pleading eyes.

Best

But just as she crossed the passage. She halted and rummaged through the papers. Thanks to the training she had received from his majesty to read letters, she was able to read a few lines of the files successfully.

These are the papers of a palace in the capital. He had only a single property on his name and instead of giving it to her, he was giving to Eli.

When everyone had left him and ignored him, she was the only one that was standing with him, yet he was gifting property to someone else.

How cruel of him. He claimed that he loved her but only gave her a few gold coins while giving the properties to others.

No! She was not going to let that happen. She walked to her room and opened her small bag.

She took out the papers his majesty had given her. It was the papers of a small house in the dark alleys so that she had a place to live in the capital.

She had gone there with much hopes but to her shock it was a area where prostitutes lived and rapes were common there.

The place was filled with criminals so she never dared to live there. To her luck, she found a good place to live when Adele hired her and met Ethan.

When his majesty came to know that Ethan is the eldest son of the duke, his behavior changed completely towards her.

But she had never forgotten the insult. Her face filled with an evil smirk as she changed the papers in the files.

She was sure that Ethan would be watching her through the window so she had to go out but who would have thought that she would find an opportunity in this too.

She changed the papers and hid the real papers in her bag.

If Eli chose to open them and realize he was sending her to the area of prostitute and threw the papers in anger, then the last thread of care between her and Ethan would break,.

And if she kept the papers without checking them or with no idea where the place was, she would end up suffering a calamity and Hannah was going to keep the papers of the palace for herself. She would shift her mother there later or sell it and buy another place.

Even if Ethan came to know about it selling, he would think that Eli had sold her in need of money and would not investigate it.

With those thoughts in her mind, she walked out of the room with a big smile on her face and leisurely reached where two sisters were bidding goodbyes to each other for hours.

If she would not have known any better, she would have thought that we were putting on a show.

"My lady, Lord Ethan, has sent you a goodbye gift."
