Chapter 177: Twist (3)
"I hope to see Penelope soon. I enjoyed our last talk, and there is more I want to ask her. Perhaps it is time I see your home. I have heard of it from Alessandra. Leave us for a moment," Hazel said, sending away the maids following her.
"You are welcome to visit us any time. Your husband seems to be making arrangements for us to visit the palace once the court is done. I will return when all of them are tossed out of the palace," said Tyrion.
"Will that be after you kill them? You’ll have to act fast since another man is eyeing their necks for speaking about his wife and daughter. Don’t look so surprised," Hazel said,
Hazel added, "It has always been others who want men in the court to die. They’ve not just created a headache for our families, but for others. Once they are out of the palace, they won’t have any power. Anyone they offended over the years will go after them."
"This is not what I expected to speak about with my mother," said Tyrion.
Tyrion thought he was walking into a conversation where all they would speak about was Penelope.
"Well, we are speaking of an important matter. I know all that goes on in the palace, and I will not shy away from it. I know that you seek to kill some of those men, and I have had my fair issues to want to see them dead," Hazel replied.
Despite being the queen, Hazel knew that there were men both in and outside the court who didn’t care for her well-being, so why should she care if they were to die?
"Someone started a lie that one of my children might not belong to your father. It is foolish and worthy of them losing their tongue," said Hazel.
