All of them finally went back and arrived at the palace in the morning. Last night’s incident really made everyone confused and kept wondering what really happened to the king. Now, Odette and Rion were already in their room. Doctor Alex checked the condition of the two and then gave some medicine. “Thank you,” Odette said to Doctor Alex. “Please take good care of yourself. If there’s anything, tell the maid to call me," said the doctor. Odette nodded and thanked him once again. Doctor Alex and the nurse came out of the room. Odette then walked over to Rion who was lying on the bed. The man could barely move. Lucifer was really too much. Odette got into bed and cleaned the wounds on Rion’s body. After that, she applied the ointment and sprinkled the powder medicine that Doctor Alex had given.&nb

Trish asked the maid about Anwen’s whereabouts, and the woman told him that Anwen was in Doctor Alex’s room. When Trish got there, he ran into Anwen who had just come out of Doctor Alex’s room. The girl looked surprised to see him there. For a moment, Trish studied Anwen from head to toe. “Are you okay?” he asked. Anwen looked at him in confusion because they had only met two hours ago and Trish had asked how she was before. “Yes. What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly ask about my condition over and over?” “Nothing particularly. Is it wrong for me to ask? If you’re fine, then that’s good!” Trish said curtly. “Why do you look annoyed?” “Who’s annoyed? I’m fine!” Trish turned around and left Anwen with an annoyed fee

“Father, Father, please help us. Do something so the king free us. Father, I beg you,” Aerith pleaded hopefully. Duke Scarlet looked at her blankly. He didn’t say anything. A few seconds later, he turned to look at Duchess Scarlet, the woman he had been married to for twenty-eight years. “I have warned you many times that you should control your greed,” he said in a flat tone. “Stop lecturing me and make yourself useful. Think and do something to get Aerith and me out of here!” Duchess Scarlet spoke in a commanding tone. Her arrogance had not disappeared at all.Duke Sc arlet’s expression became cynical. “Why should I do something so troublesome like that when you are nothing to me anymore?” he asked, making Duchess Scarlet shocked. She looked at him fiercely. “What do you mean?” &

“I already explained about it to the palace knights. I met with Doctor Cecilia only to discuss the matter of buying and selling land,” Duchess Scarlet defended herself. However, her uncle who bought the land from Cecilia’s parents had already sent someone to inform the king that the matter had been resolved long ago.“How ungrateful.” Duchess Scarlet’s parents cursed in annoyance. They were very upset that the whole family seemed to have conspired together to bring them down.The emissary handed over the evidence to the palace council and further weighed down the indictments against Duchess Scarlet.Next, a doctor who had been confirmed to be neutral was called. He stated that the poison used to kill Doctor Cecilia was the same as the poison mixed into the fetal protection medicine.“You can sit down again,” Rion said, and the doctor nodded obediently.Duchess Scarlet was already very agitated. “I Swear I DON’T KILL CECILIA. I ADMIT ALL THE CRIMES ACCUSED AGAINST ME EXCEPT THIS MURDER

Odette closed the door as soon as she entered her room. One by one, the sufferings and hardships she had with her mother flashed in her mind, replaying again like a broken record. ‘Her mother’s name is Celestial, and she doesn't know who her father is. The mother must be confused about who the father of her child is because too many men have done that with her.’ ‘Mom, who’s my father? What’s his name? Even though he’s dead, he must have a name, right?’ ‘Mom already told you not to talk about him anymore! Stop asking. You're giving me a headache!" Odette’s tears kept trickling down on her pale cheeks. All this time, she always wondered why her mother never wanted to talk about her father. Now, she knew. It was because her father had made her mother suffer so much by his betrayal and a very evil trickery. Odette sobbed whi
