Chapter 136: Tangled Webs
"I said someone call a goddamn doctor!!!!!!" I shouted as I pressed the stomach of the maid to stop the bleeding.
"Yes, yes, Madam! Someone went to call the doctor. You don’t have to worry," another maid said, but I’m worried. I don’t want her to die. She is the only one who understood me here when no one did.
"Don’t die!" I mumbled while I held her body. My tears dripped down my cheek.
"Why are you shedding tears when you are the one who did this?" the princess spoke, making me all confused.
"What did you say?" I asked.
"Wow, see! How your duchess is acting after trying to kill an innocent maid!!!" she said, looking at the crowd.
"Princess, what are you saying, please say in clear words! I don’t understand what you are saying at all," I said, trying to suppress my anger.
"Duchess, why are you acting as if you don’t know what is happening? See, the knife is on the floor, which has blood on it. See your dress, which is completely drenched in blood, and your hand on her wound. What more proof do you want me to show? That you have killed this innocent maid," she said, making me burn in anger.
"Princess, I’m not here to know who killed her or not. Right now, I want her alive. I will save her at any cost. Did you get it?" I said, trying to raise the maid to my bed, but the other maid came forward and took her from me.
"What? What are you all doing? I’m letting her rest here," I said while my voice broke.
"No, Madam! We will take her to her own room. We can’t leave her here in your room," they said while looking at me with suspicious eyes.
"You all believe her?" I asked while my eyes filled with tears.
