Chapter 211: Conversation In The Library
~~
Heading towards the court of celestial Valor, Agathe’s senses remained mindfully keen and alert. Due to last night’s celebration, the early morning training had been scheduled at night time, giving her the opportunity to secretly meet one of the organizers who was in charge of handing out swords to the contestants.
The court of celestial Valor was empty, and while she waited, a man dressed in the attire of a blacksmith approached her from the backdoor that led to the celestial Valor. Agathe’s demeanor switched into relief at the sight of the man, feeling content that he had shown up at the time they had discussed. He lowered his head in a bow, conveying his silent greetings, and before anyone else showed up and saw them here, Agathe sneakily handed the bottle of poison to the man.
"Do you remember what I asked you to do? I want no mistakes." She whispered, reminding the organizer, "I need you to smear the poison on the blade of a contestant whose name is Maurice. Do a perfect job and you will be highly rewarded for it. No one must see you do it."
"As you wish, my Lady." The organizer nodded his head in understanding. After their brief exchange of words, Agathe waited for the organizer to leave before letting out a disturbed, shaky sigh.
Once the poison is smeared on Maurice’s blade, her plans will fall into action.
With a cunning smile etched to her red lips, Agathe quietly exited the Court Of Celestial Valor. Unbeknownst to her, from behind one of the towering pillars, a figure who had seen her give something to the organizer stepped out, his eyes squinting with curiosity, whilst he silently followed the organizer under the camouflage of the pillars.

Ivan and Samantha stepped out of the room together, all dressed up and looking vibrant for the day. The servants who were working on the corridor had stopped what they were doing to bow their heads at the both of them, still unable to accept that the human who had been in their position was about to become the next Queen of GreenHollow. It was almost a make-believe, but according to Albert’s news and what they had seen today, their hearts dropped upon having to accept that they will serve a girl who was once a nobody. After everything she had encountered, who knew she would end up becoming the Queen? His Majesty’s soon-to-be bride.
