Prince Andrew became anxious when he saw Beatrix's reaction.

"Beatrix, it is not what you think. It is only a moment of weakness...a huge mistake!" He coaxes Beatrix into listening to his explanation. "I did not want any of it. I made a mistake. It is only you whom I love so much! It is only you whom I want to marry!"

"You really would not admit your mistake, eh?! And you even want to ruin my sister's reputation now even in death?!" Alrick is like a madman right now...

"Alrick, do not involve Beatrix in this mess! She is innocent! She does not know anything about this! Let her go!!! Take me instead!!!" He tried to coax Alrick into letting her go.

"Do you think I am stupid?! You took my sister's innocence! You got her pregnant but you abandoned her and the baby! You should take responsibility and marry her as the main wife but you married Beatrix instead! She stole what belongs to my sister! She is not innocent! My sister asked for her life as payment!" Alrick said and plunged the dagger directly into her chest!

"Nooo!" Andrew screamed at the top of his lungs.

He saw with his own eyes how the dagger plunged mercilessly into her chest! Everything around him seems to stop!

The chaos, the scream, the running around did not matter anymore! His eyes are solely focused on one person especially her shocked appearance and tear-filled face!

Alrick's move to kill Beatrix leads to chaos and panic in the surroundings.

The Emperor and Empress were protected long ago by imperial guards.

Many shrieked, others hide in the corner or under the table, there are so many who run away as the other black-clad fellows targeted other guests.

Soon, the sound of clashing swords can be heard in the surrounding!

After Alrick stabbed her, he let go of her. Prince Andrew caught her in his arms. He did not pay attention to his surroundings. His fearful and panicked eyes focused on Beatrix. He called for imperial physicians desperately while holding Beatrix in his arms.

"I am sorry, Beatrix! I do not want to hurt you but my sister wants your life! To be honest, I like you a lot so consider this as my proof! See you on the other side!" Alrick told the dying Beatrix and slit his own throat deeper. He stumbled and died faster than Beatrix!

Prince Andrew did not even notice when and how Alrick and his minions died.

"Beatrix, just hold on! You need to hold on, okay? It will be fine... Just do not close your eyes... The physicians are on the way... You will be fine!" He talked to Beatrix but he is convincing himself that everything will be alright.

He trembles as he could see that Beatrix is having a hard time breathing. She is in so much pain! Every breath could be her last!

"Beatrix, just hold on! You cannot close your eyes! You must fight! Do not die! You cannot die! Do not leave me, please!" He begs her to hold on and continue living, breathing, staying with him...

Beatrix tried to speak but it is really difficult! She could taste blood in her mouth. Her throat feels so stuffy and filled with blood. Her breathing is laborious and painful. She does not know if it was her heart or her lungs but she is very clear to herself that her time has come again so she forced herself to talk.

"Andrew, you are a jinx to me! Loving you is my greatest mistake! I do not wish to see you again in the next life!" That was the last thing she said and tried to relax. It took her so much effort just to express her hate and disappointment before she died.

"Do not say that...You are meant for me. I know my mistakes. Just survive this, I promise to be a good husband..."

She painfully drew her last breath and smiled sadly. Her last thought is...

Liar! Everything is a lie! Just let me go...

"Nooo!!! Beatrix, do not go!!! Do not leave me!!!" He sobbed as he felt that Beatrix is gone!

The imperial physicians arrived at the scene. He looked at them and harshly commanded them: "You save her now or your head will roll!!!" He roared like a madman.

The physicians froze. They tried to feel her pulse but all of them have the same result.

The princess is already gone! There is nothing they could do to bring her back!

Why are they so unlucky?

They all kneeled and told their prince the truth. Hoping now that the Emperor and Empress will spare them since they could see that the prince wants their life for being useless and to vent his anger, pain, and helplessness!
