38 Things would be extremely ugly!

It was the Countess of Bravada, Jose Manuel's mother who grabbed my shoulder..

She saw me inside the theatre hall and followed me at the prayer room.

Countess: I know you were looking for my son inside the theatre.. Did you get disappointed that's why you left in an instant?

Me: With all your respect Countess, I was there to entertain myself but I didn't like the play that's why I walked away.

Countess: A lying and scheming gold digger.. Someone told me that you used to be with that man who beat my son.. I know your game.. You want to seduce the wealthy young men here.. Tell me, what happened between you and Karl Luxem? Did you get money from him before dropping him when you learned that my son is wealthier? Is that the reason why he was so angry?

Me: It is true that Mr. Luxem and I know each other. I met him before I knew your son. We were friendly with each other but we have little things in common so we no longer hang out. It was never about money or anything.. We just didn't click.

Countess: My foolish son gave you jewellery and a dress in a short span of time that he met you. I want them back.. Give them back to me!

Me: If it pleases you, I will return everything he gave me. I will ask my servant to go to your room this afternoon to hand you the jewels and the dress.

The Countess demanded that I returned them at that very moment so I went back to my room while she followed me from behind.

Inside my room, she looked around with suspicion. I wrapped everything in a silk cloth and handed it to her.

" You are a prostitute.. All of these expensive things in your room.. you acquired these by selling yourself to different men." She accused me.

" I have to ask you leave now. You already got what you wanted. There is no more reason for you to be here inside my room and insult. Please leave.." I demanded.

I was not aware that my brother Alexei was inside my room as well.. And he heard everything..

" Go away ugly old lady! No one talks to my sister like that!" He screamed while he pushed the Countess toward the door.

" Get your hands off me you stupid rascal!" She yelled and she pushed Alexei away from her.

Alexei lost his footing and hit his shoulder on the lampshade.. I saw a blood.. he got wounded..

I almost faint.. Even a tiny would could kill him because of his Haemophilia.. He could bleed to death from even from a little scratch.

I ordered my servant Amelie to take my brother to his room and tell his doctor and nurse to attend to him immediately..

And when the room was cleared, I looked at the Countess with my eyes burning from anger..
