The queen was about to call for the Marchioness here.
But in the palace, you never know when or in which situation His Highness Ghodrove might appear.
It might be better to take refuge in the Marquis’ house, just like the concubine.
However, there was no way the queen was allowed to go out.
As she was troubled over what to do, the queen proposed.
ㅤ
“Let’s say that the Marchioness is gravely ill and calling for me.”
ㅤ
If you’re going to do it, it’s better to do it quickly.
The queen rushed out of her room, heading for the king.
ㅤ
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I need to talk to you for a moment.”
ㅤ
The king, in the midst of his official duties, looked shocked, wondering what had happened.
Just as His Highness Ghodrove was in the room, her heart was pounding.
She was acting like her agitation was because the Marchioness was gravely ill, trying not to show her consciousness of him.
ㅤ
“Marchioness is gravely ill and seems to want to talk to me.”
“That’s terrible! Go to her at once!”
ㅤ
The queen nodded, and while encouraging myself, left the office.
She quickly rushed out of the palace and jumped into the carriage.
ㅤ
Upon my sudden return, the Marchioness was quite surprised to see myself and the queen.
ㅤ
“W, What’s going on?!”
“Marchioness Falkenhigh, I’m sorry, but can you become a critically ill patient?”
ㅤ
Finally saying something incomprehensible, the Marchioness looked to me for help.
ㅤ
“There’s something I want to consult with you. For now, shall we go to the bedroom?”
ㅤ
The queen conveyed to the Marchioness what she had told me.
From mentioning the mystery of Irma’s death, you could feel strong anger from her expression.
ㅤ
“Yes. The one who killed Irma was ‘he’.”
ㅤ
The Marchioness pointed out clearly.
ㅤ
“Your Majesty, your lover is His Highness Ghodrove, isn’t it?”
“T, That is. . . . . .”
“If you don’t confess, I can’t believe what you, the queen, are saying.”
ㅤ
Whether she resigned herself, the queen revealed that her lover was His Highness Ghodrove.
ㅤ
“That man, acting like he has no ambitions at all, was plotting behind the scenes!”
ㅤ
It seems the queen was completely deceived by His Highness Ghodrove.
There’s nothing to say but it’s pitiful.
ㅤ
“What should I do from now on?”
“For now, make up your mind to nurse me, who will be critically ill, and stay here. I will protect you like the royal concubine Karina.”
“The royal concubine Karina? Is she here too?!”
“Oh, you didn’t know?”
ㅤ
When Marchioness said that she and His Highness Leonardo were under protection, the queen seemed truly relieved and let out a deep, long sigh of relief.
ㅤ
“I thought Queen Karina and Leonardo His Highness were killed by that man.”
“If we hadn’t protected them, they probably would have been killed.”
ㅤ
For the time being, it seems that the Marchioness will be critically ill, and she decided to protect the queen.
ㅤ
“But if I stay here for many days, that man may become suspicious.”
“Don’t worry. Before that, Leon will settle everything.”
“Lord Montyver will?”
“Yes.”
ㅤ
It was a plan to recover the stolen queen’s necklace, but it seems it can be connected to the resolution of this incident.
ㅤ
“It’s hard for His Highness Engelbert, but the hidden truth must be revealed.”
ㅤ
The queen tightly closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
She must have been looking forward to His Highness Engelbert ascending to the throne as king.
She must let go of that dream.
ㅤ
“Because of that man, many people became unhappy. The time to atone has come.”
ㅤ
The queen looked straight at the Marchioness, wishing for the resolution of the disturbance.
ㅤ
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
ㅤ
The queen seems to be mentally exhausted, and it appears that she has no intention of meeting the royal concubine for a while.
It feels strange that the two, who were at odds, are in the same mansion.
ㅤ
For now, I’ve used bird letter magic to inform Lord Montyver to be cautious about Prince Ghodrove.
I didn’t tell him directly, considering the chance that it might not reach Lord Montyver.
Indirectly, I wrote only that the enemy is in front and must be protected. If it’s the clever Lord Montyver, he will surely understand the meaning.
ㅤ
A lot happened in half a day. Just when I thought nothing more would happen, a detective visited.
Apparently, he had obtained the list of sources and buyers of the poison I had requested before.
The one selling the poison was one of the royal pharmacies.
It was a family that was a member of the Queen’s Faction and had a rival relationship with the concubine’s family.
It seems that they were chosen as the royal pharmacy in exchange for the poison deal.
ㅤ
I don’t recognize the name of the noble of Binemöer who was buying the poison.
But it seems they were all neutral people, and it became apparent that they were under Prince Ghodrove.
It seems he had his close ones buy the poison.
The information was not just that.
Apparently, Prince Ghodrove had also sold the poison to Vulcano through his subordinates.
I found my uncle’s name among the customers and was at a loss for words.
ㅤ
The poison that my father thought was medicine was the poison brought from Binemöer.
It seems my uncle was connected to Prince Ghodrove.
Before time rewound, the one who handed over the queen’s necklace was probably Prince Ghodrove.
ㅤ
So, there is no mistake that Prince Ghodrove stole the queen’s necklace in this incident.
As the queen’s lover, he should have been able to pull the necklace from the safe in the bedroom.
ㅤ
As a bonus, the detective provided some information.
The maid who was with the royal concubine was apparently one of Prince Ghodrove’s mistresses.
It seems she was pretending to serve and manipulating the royal concubine at will.
If there is a maid influenced by Prince Ghodrove, it would be easy to plant the queen’s necklace and poison in the royal concubine’s safe.
ㅤ
The mysteries swirling around me connect dot by dot.
Prince Ghodrove was the root of all evil.
ㅤ
Once this problem is solved, I might confide everything to Lord Montyver.
I will say that I am not Mrs. Dosa but Graciela of the Duke Mendoza family, that Ren’s real name is Florenci, and he is my brother, not my son. I sensed danger from my uncle, who was after the property, so I disguised my brother as my child and came to Binemöer.
I wonder what reaction Lord Montyver will show.
If he laughs and forgives me, I want to be honest with my feelings next time.
Not just admitting it to myself but showing my feelings to Lord Montyver as well.
ㅤ
Before that, the incident must be resolved. . . . . .
As I was lost in thought, Rosa came running in a panic.
“Mrs. Dosa, something terrible has happened! Lord Montyver has been seriously injured while defending Prince Ghodrove!”
