The maid could guess that Victoria was most likely angry because of Aurelia again.
The maid said obsequiously, “Your Highness, there’s a news update…”
Victoria frowned. “What is it?”
“The investigator says that Aurelia grew up in the Melorian slum and spent her time with the nomads. Her parents
are both illegal immigrants. Her father’s a drug addict, and her mother’s a prostitute. They abandoned her at a
young age.”
“So, she most probably isn’t related to Aunt Helene.”
Victoria breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was being overly suspicious.
“Of course not, Your Highness!” The maid smiled. “That b*tch has a lowly background. It’s her luck that she could
come to Southeast Aciatic! Your Highness, what… What’s gotten into you today? Did you get into an argument with
Mr. Harris again?”
Victoria turned away in frustration.
It would be better if they did argue! She did not know how badly Neil was injured and how she should wrap this
matter up…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarmella had warned her the last time not to go against the Harrises and the Irwins, but not…
Victoria screwed her eyes shut before they flew open in the next second.
“Hah! What am I scared of?” She suddenly cackled. “Neil hanging out with the b*tch is a shame to the Harrises too.
I’m just teaching Aurelia a lesson to keep up the Harrises’ reputation!”
Yes, this was what she would say if the queen asked! She would shift the blame to Aurelia, and the queen would not
pursue her about Neil being injured!
Victoria was pleased with herself and relaxed fully, thinking that she had come up with a great idea.
“Alright, I’m taking a rest. You can leave now.”
“Your Highness, there’s one more thing…”
“What is it?”
“I saw Mr. Irwin yesterday,” the maid said in a lowered volume. “He’s gone to the west palace. Looks like Prince
Alexander’s really asked him to treat Princess Helene!”
“Is that so?” Victoria frowned. “But Aunt Helene’s been crazy for so many years. It’s not like she’ll recover just
because they want her to!”
“Your Highness, do you want to follow him to see what he’s up to?”
Victoria contemplated and gave a light nod. “That’ll work too.
“Send someone to follow him from tomorrow onward. Buy a few people over in the west palace too. It’ll be easier
to have the latest news with our own people inside!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The maid left with that while Victoria looked up at the sky, seeing an eagle circle above the palace. She smirked,
her gaze turning brutal.
“Hah, so what if the lunatic’s treated?” She spoke to herself. “She should be the ruler, but would my uncle return
her the throne even if she recovered? What a joke!”
…
A few days later, Cordelia and Zephyr entered the palace together and went to the west palace.
Due to Alexander’s protection, both of them could enter and leave freely.
It was just that Cordelia did not quite get it. Her father was there to treat Princess Helene. Why would he call and
insist the two of them bring him the medicine? Did a doctor like him not carry his medical kit when treating
patients?
This was unlike her father!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton!” Upon seeing them, the palace guard was respectful and led the way to the inner hall of
the west palace.
“Mr. Irwin’s at the side hall. Are you here to send him the medicine?”
“Yes.”
“This way, please!”
They went through a long corridor and arrived at the side hall.
This was Cordelia’s first time at the west palace. It was very different from the other palaces in the grand palace.
The grand palace was majestic and solemn, but this palace felt a little like an Eropah castle.
It had dome tops and white walls with intricate architecture, like an elegant swan in the middle of the lake. This
palace’s extravagance did not pale compared to the one Alexander was living in right now. The rare pigeon blood
rubies embedded in the walls amplified the grandeur.
It was apparent how much the last king, Helene’s father, doted on her.
“Looks like this is the difference between a daughter and a son.” Cordelia chuckled. “Even the royal family believes
that girls should be raised rich.”
“Of course!” Zephyr raised a brow. “If I have a daughter, I’ll make her the happiest little princess in this world.”
“Really?” Cordelia looked at him. “I don’t want another baby in this case. I’d be giving myself a love rival if it’s a
daughter?”
