Chapter 370 - You Slimy Hypocrite! (2/2)

The crown prince's voice sounded very tired when he spoke and it tugged Lily's heartstrings

She felt deeply sorry for what Mars and Harloere going through and wanted to help as much as she could

"I went to visit Lady Euise myself as a uard co himself"

Lily took a deep breath before she continued "Emmelyn said she was framed and she believed it was Lady Ellena Greystorhter, who did it She said Lady Ellena killed youron Lily's every word as if his life depended on it

"What happened on the day of the ht Ellena fraently

"She said on the day of the murder, she received an anonymous letter from someone who claimed that they kept her nephew and they would kill the boy if Eold coins"

"Did Emmelyn have a nephew? I have never heard of that," said Mars "It ht of that too, but she couldn't risk not going because what if it's true? What if her brother Killian really left a child behind? So she went in disguise as aThey only did it to lure her out of the castle"

Mars felt his heart drop to the floor He could i from the castle all day when his mother came

By the time Emmelyn returned, the queen was already dead and everyone was looking for her as the murder suspect

"Did she have any witness that could vouch for her?" Mars asked iuards for protection when she went"

Lily nodded "She said she ith your butler, Roshan, but when the king's guard commander testified that Roshan was in the castle when the murder happened He was the one elcomed the queen inside and took her to see Emmelyn"

"So, Roshan was not with Emmelyn?" Mars asked to confirm what he just heard

Lily shook her head "Roshan did say he acco, but they went back before lunch to see the queen"

"I will talk to my butler personally and ask him about this matter," said Mars finally

He realized all parties involved seemed to have their own version of the events and he needed to knohich one was the truth

He also would talk to Ellena Since Emmelyn accused her of the crime, Ellena must defend herself and tell her own side of the story

"Did E else?" Mars asked Lily "Did she mention me or?"

"She said she wanted to write a letter to you to explain everything but she had no access to send it She orried that they will confiscate her letters They also didn't give her your latest letters from Wintermere"

Then she added, "Ee to Lady Ellena to tell her that Emmelyn wanted to meet"

"Emmelyn wanted to meet Ellena?"

Mars was shocked to hear this He kne much Emmelyn hated Ellena So, why did she want to meet the woman she hated?
