Chapter 369 - Lady Ellena Greystorm Killed Your Mother (2/2)

"She is NOT Lady cocker," Mars blurted impatiently "And I am certainly not you"

"Of course you are not," Geaved his hand to cal you and I are the same What I meant to say is, you have no experience oment You always defend Emmelyn and think that she is innocent when she is not"

"She aiting trial when she died," said Mars "We don't know yet if she is guilty or not We still need to collect evidence and witnesses"

"I auilty or if she is innocent," Gewen continued "My point is, you are biased You will always see her through a rose-colored lens because you think you love her, just like I thought I loved Lady cocker"

Gewen added, "MAYBE you do love her, but it will only make my point, that no matter what questions you ask and the answers you receive, you will think she is innocent"

Mars was silent when he heard Gewen's words His friend did have a point Even from the moment he heard Thessalis said Emmelyn was sent to Draec to seduce him and find ways to kill his mother, he already told himself that he wished Emmelyn would tell him she didn't do it, even if she had to lie to him

He hoped she would lie to him, if she did kill his mother

"Now, please tell s about her, then I will forever holdthis case," said Gewen "I don't want our friendshi+p to be destroyed because I accuse the woman you love of murder and you don't want to accept it"

Mars looked down and sighed He kneas right He was so partial toward Emmelyn He loved her so much that he would look the other way even if she committed such a horrific crime

But what about his mother? Shouldn't he seek justice for his birth mother who had suffered so et his ainst one person If Euilty, he needed to know

"No, Gewen, you don't have to hold your thoughts and keep your opinions to yourself," said Mars finally "I will hear all sides of the story I will not be partial"

Gewen looked so relieved when he heard Mars's reply He patted the prince's back and shness"

Suddenly Lily spoke

She had listened to theabout the case and now she felt compelled to share what she had heard from Emmelyn before she passed away

Lily believed Mars needed to hear Emmelyn's side of the story too

"Yes, Lily?" Mars turned to Lady Greenan and asked her "Do you have sohness" Lily cleared her throat before she continued her words "Emmelyn told me before she died that Lady Ellena Greystorm killed your mother"
