Chapter 228: The Enemy
"Sir, I think Princess Eleanora will fit our purpose. You were right. But there is one problem."
"What?", the man leaned back in his chair and questioned the advisor.
"We are unable to find anything about her past. Prime Minister Sterling has hiddenit too well. It’s almost as if she appeared out of nowhere. To add to that, she has no memory of her own past. All the maids have tried to probe her in case she is acting but it doesn’t seem like it..."
"So that is one more problem added to the ones we already have! It wasn’t enough that I had to wait to get rid of the entire Sterling family to ascend to the throne but now, another person has been added to the mix! For years we have been trying to find a way to dethrone them, but it has been useless! And now that the old King is dead and the heiress Evangeline seems to be some kind of angel who never makes a mistake. Tell me, have you been able to find anything?"
"And now, Sterling digs up his niece from somewhere and right in the middle of all this! Adding one more obstacle in my path to the throne!"
The advisor cleared his throat and tried to explain, "Actually, we do have some dirt that might help get us rid of the Sterling girls. I’ve been informed that there is no love between the two girls. We all know Evangeline has always expected to take the throne but now she finds herself faced with a competitor who is not even worthy because she doesn’t even have a memory! Queen Rosalind has already expressed her dissatisfaction and tried to get rid of this step-granddaughter...Meanwhile, Eleanora seems to be interested in taking the throne..."
The man narrowed his eyes as he heard this, a sinister plan forming in his mind, "If we play our cards right, we might be able to exploit their strained relationship. Make it appear as if they are both unfit to rule. Very good."
"Yes, sir. Also, there is more... It seems the esteemed Princess Eleanora does not have high standards like Princess Evangeline..."
The adviser slowly placed a cell phone on the man’s desk and stepped back," She is interested in gardening... and the gardener. Perhaps some leaked rumours, carefully crafted whispers that suggest scandal. That way, we can find a way to tarnish their images without them pointing back to you."
