Duchess Scarlet glared intently at the palace councils. She clenched her fists tightly. Aerith persuaded her mother to calm down. She was worried that if the palace councils were offended, her mother’s punishment would be increased.
The palace council took out a medicine bottle containing the poison used to poison Rose. He then asked Knights Erika and Erina to explain the evidence.
“It is a fetal protection medicine that has been mixed with the poison. Duchess Scarlet ordered Doctor Cecilia to give the medicine to Queen Rose.”
“Lies. Why would I want to poison Rose? You two conspired with that old woman to slander me.”
“Nurse Yume and Maid Karen are the witnesses,” Erina added.
The two witnesses confirmed Erina’s statement. Nurse Yume had seen Doctor Cecilia mix the queen’s medicine with poison while Maid Karen said that she had seen Duchess Scarlet and Doctor Cecilia talk about poison mixed in the fetal protection medicine.
