Yes. This was the moment of truth.
Mars must know what Emmelyn did. She faked her death, left him and their baby, and went far away from Draec.
Ellena found out about Emmelyn's plan through a sheer coincidence. Ha. Heavens must be on her side.
Again, Ellena couldn't believe her luck. After she decided to make Emmelyn deliver her baby early so she could face trial, Ellena went to find the local witch near her family's estate to get the potion to induce early labor.
When she was visiting the witch, Ellena saw her making several different potions. One of them was a sleeping potion.
It turned out, the witch's husband had severe insomnia and she always had to prepare a sleeping potion to help him sleep.
At the time of Ellena's visit, the witch was making the sleeping potion in large quantities because her husband was going away to another province for the whole month.
