“Elder Randy!” Aurora cried.Glass slipped from his fingers.The next second, the man’s large body was crushed down to the ground with a loud bang.There was a moment of aghast silence.Then somebody from the crowd let out a sudden scream of terror, “—Ahhh!!!”Aurora jumped over the table and droppe
“But you can’t promise that your cure is effective for Elder Randy’s poison, right?” asked an elder dressed in grey cloak.Aurora remembered this elder. Elder Lamonte.She met him once in the dining hall on her first night here.Agnes shook her head, “No, father…”“Then we should find the criminal w
People jerked around together to look at the source of that voice.A young man pushed through the crowd and rushed in.He was a teenager, roughly 15 years old, standing at a lean and agile figure.His golden curly hair cascaded in unruly waves, framing a very youthful face.He had a pair of piercing
Agnes let out a small chuckle, “Annie, can you tell Lady Aurora that she remembered everything all wrong?”Annie held her head down in silence.Agnes tightened her grip on Annie’s shoulder.Annie shivered, and spoke up in a choking voice, “…L—Lady Aurora, you remembered it wrong…There was no maid. N
“The patient is stabilized now,” the doctor said.“But he hasn’t woken up yet?” “No,” the doctor shook his head. “Lady Agnes’s cure only kept him from going into a complete heart and liver failure. But to completely recover, he needs the actual cure for the poison.”Westin balled his hands into fis
Yet she didn’t stop her pace for him.She ran into the hallway and caught up with Sammy and Wells.“Hey, Sammy!”She got to Sammy’s side and gave her a smile, “I want to thank you for standing up for me like that. It means a lot to me.”“D…Don’t be.” Sammy shook her head, “It was Prince Wells. He en
Belle took a moment to tidy her dress, which got wrinkled during running.Then she puffed her chest, raised her chin, and walked over like a proud princess.“Morning.”She said in a polite yet distant voice.The ladies jerked around in shock. Especially Agnes. Her movement was so large that she almo
“What kind of friend is more important than his own brother and sister?” Aurora let out a sarcastic laugh. “Or are you saying that you and the King have an improper king of relationship? I wonder what the King says about this—”“NO!” Agnes snapped.She let out a frustrated breath and stood up from h
Westin was probably pissed that she went on digging the ancient history behind his back.But what could he do?She had done it already.She ignored Westin’s cold gaze and added, “So we started looking into Keavy’s case and noticed the restaurant owner’s crime. That part you already knew…”“Yes, we d
Aurora raised a brow and stared back at him defiantly, “Huge trouble? Like what? Are you going to lock me in your study again?”Westin grinned, flashing his white teeth, “That is a very good idea. And this time when you beg me to stop…I won’t stop.”Aurora gave a huge heave and forced out a cold smi
“It must be Agnes. She helped him take care of the permits needed for the prison. And don’t worry. We have the phone now.”“Hurry and see what is in his phone!”Aurora turned on the phone and browsed his call lists, his inbox, his online shopping records…But she found nothing suspicious.“This app!”
Clemente and Aurora came dashing out of prison and bumped right into the leader.“Are you done talking to that prisoner? Did you get the location of that bomb?” the leader asked eagerly.“That prisoner was dead! murdered!”“WHAT?!” the leader cried in panic, “Impossible! This prison was heavily guar
Clemente checked the time really quickly, “Fuck…the office is off duty now. There is no way we can get the paperwork for the visit done today.”Aurora raised an eyebrow, “You are the general. You don’t need any paperwork. Just wave your badge in the air and tell whoever dares to stop you to fuck off
In a great rush of excitement, Aurora let out a small gasp.That ought to nail Agnes down!“You see it, right, Clemente?” she cried, shaking Clemente’s hand. “That is Agnes! She claimed to be at her parent’s house, but she first called the patrol center to divert you from home and then ambushed the
Clemente was on the phone with the prison.Seconds later, he covered the speaker with one hand and turned back to Aurora.“The owner said that he could remember,” he said with a tight furrow. “He simply said that it was a person wearing a baseball hat and a mask—”“Male or female?” Aurora asked urge
Clemente was brought into the meeting room a couple of minutes later.He came in with a big grin on his face asking, “What are you still doing here Aurora? You should head back to the castle with the King. I want to stop by my brother’s grave and let him know about the truth that you found. Do you w
Aurora looked over and found that it was Elder Lamonte.By his side was Agnes, with her head held down.“…Queen Aurora,” Elder Lamonte gave a nod to Aurora.There was an awkward smile on his face.It looked as though he was trying to show his gratitude yet wasn’t quite used to that expression.“Than
