Capítulo 47: Punishment (1)

"Don't turn stiff again, Hazel. I am not going to scold you though I wish to know why you would turn down a dance from the prince. You were aware that you had one duty at the ball. Should the prince ask for your hand, you dance," said Tabitha.

She felt insulted that Hazel turned down Tobias, but she couldn't allow her anger to get the best of her. Not when she was trying to take Hazel under her wing.

It might be best to put all her attention on Hazel and abandon Helena who was failing to catch Tobias's eyes. It seemed that Helena was never special now that it was revealed Hazel also got asked for a dance. Hazel was the one to be picked over and over again while Helena was not. There was more to the story from the night of the ball.

"I was aware," Hazel answered, continuing to be honest.
