Judging from the apprehensive faces of the servants it’s obvious that they are anything when there is vivid guilt in their eyes!

even as our assistant addresses them.
*You have been called here because our kings wishes to give you a chance to confess your involvement in the traitorous act of helping an unworthy woman become the queen of this kingdom against the stated rules of the king’s council” He says and the two women visibly tremble in fear.
Wish we actually knew the truth and didn’t have to ask them.
“You can choose to confess the truth and be treated as valuable witnesses, or you Michael cautions
or you can deny the truth and be treated as the accomplices you acted as”
The servants vigorously nod their heads, “We are obliged, sir.” They say simultaneously.
None seems hesitant to betray their beloved mistress despite treating them like friends. Guess honour does not exist in a group of selfish people. “Our queen can neither read nor write. Fenris says and the maids nod in agreement. “Tell me, who wrote the letter she sent to us on the first day of her arrival?” He questions.

Our mate requested for a duel in the letter which would force us meet her mistress, how clever. She had brains, something we failed to notice. “Is it still Keira who helped her pass the other tests that she did!” I question.
“Yes your Majesty. I have evidence of what happened” The other servant quickly answers, sounding desperate to be heard.
“What sort of evidence?”
She hastily digs her hands into the pockets of her uniform and withdraws a wrinkled parchment. She strides forward and gives it to me.
The paper has an incompressible scribble at the centre, like a one year old toddler tried writing on it.
“What’s the meaning of this?” 1 question angrily.
“I don’t know, your majesty. It is the paper that your queen wrote her answers on during the test of wisdom. The servant answers. “I kept it in case you ever figured our that your queen could not have figured out those answers and needed evidence?
I still remember how Lyna had insisted that our mate be the one to read her answers. Everyone was so impressed by the answers she gave, believing that our human mate was actually reading what she had written.
