It seems to be just as you guessed.” Estelle couldn’t help herself and turned to look at Margaery. “That direction should he he cliff at the back of the mountain.
There are still tire tracks here, fresh soil, and someone is digging below.”
Margaery glanced at the ground, her brows furrowed. “If we go over now, we’ll be easily discovered. But if we don’t go down. we won’t know where they’ve dug to.”
Solon thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go down. You two shouldn’t follow.”
The situation below was unclear and truly too dangerous.
Margaery hesitated, not because she didn’t trust Solon, but because she was worried he might overlook something. She inally came up with an idea and said, “Let’s do this: we’ll go back to the house first, change into the clothes of those people who were caught above, and then come down.”
That works. They’re all in the same group.” Solon nodded. By the light of the torch, he glanced at Margaery.
He felt that although Margaery’s martial arts were quite ordinary now, her mind was indeed very sharp.
When the three returned, they saw a group of people digging the mountain soil ahead. Margaery was a bit surprised and sked, “Phillipa, what did you ask them to do?”
Someone died.” Phillipa’s expression was rather grave. “The people here were originally replaced. I suspect that after they illed someone, they buried the body directly under this pile of earth.”
Margaery understood immediately upon hearing this.
Did you get it out of them? Whose people are they?” She looked at those people, her brows tightly furrowed.
n fact, she already had a guess in her heart, because there were very few people who could do all this, had the motive, and Lad now stepped forward.
Phillipa’s eyes were filled with anger. “It’s Sigurd.”
Margaery took a deep breath. “They are quite bold”
In that case, have three of them come up. I need the clothes they’re wearing Margaery glanced at the people who were busy working
She then said, ‘I go to the main hall of the Hall of Divinity first to retrieve something‘
Inside the main hall of the Hall of Divinity, there were items ich behind by Simon that could be used for linguine. They aut needed some minor adjustments before they could go down and Idend in unoticed
After speaking, she went up
Solon followed behind her.
Estelle looked at the people digging through the frozen carth below, her face turning slightly pale. How long Salome family been plotting this?”
“At least four years.” Phillipa clenched her fists. Sooner or later, she would avenge her grandfather

Only now did she realize that, for Nathaniel to ascend the throne, aside from obeying the King, there was truly no other
choice.
Because behind Marcus stood the Hadley family and the Wallen family, and behind Callum stood the Salome family Everyone had advisors working behind the scenes, and they had been scheming for so many years.
Logically speaking, Nathaniel’s backing should be stronger than that of Marcus and Callum.
Because his supporter was the King.
But the problem was, due to Queen Mother’s favoritism over the years, both she and Nathaniel rarely listened to the King
They always harbored a bias against the King.
The King favored Serena, and would not truly stand up for her and Nathaniel, who had no powerful backing
Standing here now, assisting Phillipa and Margaery with the investigation, she realized that, in her father’s heart, he had never treated the two of them harshly.
He had even placed high hopes on them.
Because long before Dashnell, the King had suggested that Nathaniel and she, as the eldest princess, attend to the King in the Imperial Study during the afternoons and learn from him.
However, Nathaniel felt the King was too strict, preferred Queen Mother and his study companions, and refused, saying he would rather study with the Crown Prince’s tutor.
As for herself…
It was even harder to say.
Several years later, Dashnell entered the Chapel of Wisdom and would occasionally accompany the King.
Over time, things had reached this point.
But people were not born understanding the ways of the world.
In childhood, she, Nathaniel, and Margaery back then, just like all children in this world, were naive. They all preferred to be around those who made them feel comfortable and safe, and liked to hear pleasant words
Whoever one spent enough time with, they eventually became the person they wanted them to be
Margaery became the plaything tormented by the Wallen family father and son, and she and Nathanie were Queen
Mother…
Queen Mother….
At this thought, Estelle suddenly felt a sharp ache in her heart.
For a very long time, she had always believed she was a child raised by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Muabes irealest
her the best.
Even if the world betrayed her, Queen Mother would not.

Yet at this moment, her heart felt cold.
She also felt a chill run down her spine.
She was wrong.

Queen Mother’s niece was Diana, and Isander was the one closest to Queen Mother. Even if Queen Mother were to scheme she would not support her and Nathaniel, but rather Isander.
If Isander wanted to ascend, Nathaniel must die.
She was being ruined by too much praise.
At this thought, Estelle nearly staggered, unable to stand firm.
“What’s wrong with you?” Phillipa glanced at her, somewhat surprised.
It was not out of concern, but out of fear that something might happen.
After all. Estelle was royalty; if something were to happen to her or Margaery while they were together, they would be held responsible.
Estelle could sense Phillipa’s subtle attitude toward her. Feeling sorrowful, she gently shook her head. “It’s nothing, I just remembered some things.”
Under the guidance of Queen Mother, Nathaniel became impatient for quick success, while she was shunned and scorned.
Now, Nathaniel was dead.
Estelle was the only one left, about to go to Emberfall.
Estelle no longer had the heart to argue with anyone; she felt sad about her fate, yet was powerless to change it.
Margaery came down from the Hall of Divinity carrying a bundle of items. “Princess Estelle, if you still want to continue, come in and disguise yourself.”
‘Alright. Estelle snapped back to herself and looked at Margaery.
Only now did she realize that Margaery was the only person in this world who did not harbor such deep prejudice against her.
Estelle said, “You actually don’t find me very annoying.”
She followed Margaery into the room, feeling somewhat surprised.
Margaery paused, neatly putting away the disguise materials as she sighed. Tim just an ordinary person. Throughout this journey, I’ve made my own mistakes, so I have no right to look down on anyone che, least of all you
No one was perfect.
Moreover, what a person grew up to be was not something she could decide for herself. By the time one was able to make their own choices, they had already been shaped into what others wanted them to be
The fortunate ones received good guidance.
Thus, when they reached a certain age, they did not need to shed a layer of skin to find their true selves.
