Chapter 99: The Truth (1)
"You," Zaila interrupted, with her gaze directed at Rosela. "How can you enter the Palace so easily, Lady Rosela? You’re not even invited. We cast a protective spell around the whole area for the safety of our queen and have even strictly instructed the guards not to let anyone in without our permission."
"I.. I passed by the entrance and I heard the commotion inside," Rosela answered with a frown.
Dani gazed at Krisha and Zaila said, "Get the guards on duty here right now. They need to be questioned! Also, call for the Ministry of Justice this instant and inform His Majesty of what’s going on right now."
She pinched the bridge of her nose as she grumbled, "Someone just died. This is a serious case and should be dealt with properly by the officials concerned. A mere Scion shouldn’t trespass the crime scene without permission!"
Rosela’s face paled at Dani’s words. Meanwhile, Mineah smirked as she shook her head. This woman really was something.
Looking at the servant that just tried to accuse her, she could see the beads of sweat starting to form on her forehead. The girl looked nervous, and she could see an opportunity at that.
"Don’t worry," she gently began as she addressed the poor girl. "Just tell the truth, and I’ll make sure that you won’t get in trouble."
"What are you saying?" Rosela scoffed.
"Ignore her," Mineah insisted, using her right eye to compel the servant. "Don’t let her control you like this."
