YM778.TV Chapter 450 The First Prince was the Culprit.
Evane replied in a cold tone and walked away.
Ricardus took in a cold breath when he heard what his daughter just said.
Acting so arrogant just because you have a chance at becoming the next King?
Even he, who is currently the King never dared to talk to her like that.
He slowly and carefully turned his face towards Astaria and as soon as he saw his face, he returned to his original position with his heart beating loudly.
As expected, Astaria\'s face didn\'t look good.
"Where do you think you are going?"
She questioned.
Evane, however, didn\'t stop and continued to move,
"Didn\'t I tell you already, I need to tend to his injury, I don\'t have time to waste. You can play your games later."
Astaria narrowed her eyes,
"Little girl, do you really think I won\'t kill you just because you might become the next Ruler?"
Evane turned around, she directly looked into Astaria\'s sharp eyes and replied,
"Kill me then."
This time, Astaria narrowed her eyes in confusion.
"I do not fear then, Lady Astaria. The person who has been protecting me all this while is hurt, I need to tend to his wound. You can kill me if you don\'t like that, however, I am not planning to lose another person close to me."
"…it is just some broken bones…
Don\'t make it something so serious…"
Astaria was somewhat speechless.
"I am a little sensitive, Lady Astaria. Excuse me then."
Saying that, Evane started moving again.
This time, Astaria didn\'t stop her either.
Ricardus frowned.
\'She isn\'t killed yet?\'
With a confused look on his face, he turned toward Astaria and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw a small smile on Astaria\'s face.
\'She is impressed?\'
Ricardus couldn\'t believe it.
Evane managed to impress the Dowager in her first meeting!
Ricardus couldn\'t help but glance at Evane who was walking away.
Just like him, members of Shadow Unit and all the Ministers observed at Evane as well.
Suddenly, Nux grabbed Evane\'s gown and she stopped.
Nux then glanced at Astaria and after thinking for a while, he spoke,
"The Solid Earth kingdom, do not ignore it."
Astaria frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Herms Lyzander has broken the Treaty."
Hearing those words, Astaria\'s eyes widened in surprise.
"How do you know about it?"
She questioned, Nux, however, did not answer and Evane walked away.
After Evane and Nux left, a solemn look appeared on Astaria\'s face,
\'How did he know his name?\'
She couldn\'t understand.
Not many people knew about Herms\'s name. Heck, even Ricardus might not know about it.
Every Kingdom keeps their Emperors a secret, after all.
\'No wait, he said that Herms has broken the Treaty, does that Old Bastard really has the Guts to do that?\'
Astaria wondered inwardly.
Ricardus has reported the same thing, she didn\'t believe him at first, however, with Nux saying the same thing.
Even she had to think about it for a while.
Yes, for some reason, Nux\'s words had a much stronger impact on her mind than Ricardus\'s.
Astaria had decided.
She would visit the Solid Earth Kingdom and will observe everything on her own.
However, before she does, there were a few things that she wanted to do here.
"Investigate the First Prince, see if he has any hand in the fake letter that was sent to the Third Prince."
Hearing this order, Gibson\'s eyes widened in surprise,
"Lady Astaria, you aren\'t actually believing that Girl\'s story, are you!? It is clearly Forged!"
He couldn\'t help but jump in.
He couldn\'t let this investigation start.
He was confident of hiding his tracks if it was a normal investigation, even if the King led it himself, he would have a chance at hiding his tracks, however, if Lady Astaria leads this investigation, there is no way he would be able to hide anything.
That woman has no restraints at all!
"Why do you look so scared, Minster Gibson?" Astaria narrowed her eyes and questioned with an amused look on her face.
However, before Gibson could answer, someone else did.
"He is scared because the First Prince, his Grandson, is indeed the Culprit."
Everyone in the hall turned toward the voice,
"Who are you?"
Astaria questioned the man who had entered with two guards following behind him.
The man kneeled and introduced himself,
"Lady Astaria, I am Kelton Ackerg, I am Lady Amaya Skyfall\'s butler. Yesterday, just like the Third Price and Second Princess, my lady was attacked as well."
While he was saying all this, anyone could see that his eyes were bloodshot and his eyelids were puffed, it was clear that he was crying.
Soon, however, his eyes got even redder, then with anger and hatred, he glared at Gibson and continued,
"I investigated the attack myself and found that the one behind the attack was the First Prince."
"BUL-"
Gibson wanted to interrupt, however, before he could, Kelton pointed at the guards behind him and spoke.
"These are the guards who were on night duty yesterday, Lady Amaya, who was trying to run away from those assassins met them, and a few other guards yesterday.
Tell them what you saw."
Kelton ordered.
"We saw Lady Amaya running away, there was a dagger that had pierced her thigh and Blood was continuously coming out of there.
She couldn\'t even move properly, however, she still continued to run.
We rushed towards her when we saw her, however, she told us to go away since she feared that the assassins might kill us, the only witnesses as well."
\'As well\'
These two words meant a lot.
"…"
The entire hall turned silent.
"What did Lady Amaya say to you?"
Kelton, who could barely control his tears, questioned.
"She told us that the one behind this attack was Raguel, the First Prince."
