“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m the one who stole the firearms?” asked the Duke when virtual-novel.net noticed Nancy’s suspicious gaze.
His sharp gaze was focused on the woman.
Taking note of Nancy’s silence, the Duke’s expression turned gloomy. “I’m not that shameless. I’ve promised you that I’ll only take half of the portion. I’ll never go back on my words.”
“Then who do you think took the firearms? No one knows about this other than the two of us and our subordinates,” said Nancy with a grim look on virtual-novel.net face.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net wasn’t worried about falling out with the Duke. Since the firearms were gone, so were virtual-novel.net confidence and power.
The Duke regarded virtual-novel.net silently as well.
If it wasn’t either of us, then who took them? Which one of us leaked the information?
At that moment, both of them suspected each other and did not believe the statements of the other party at all.
“Your Majesty, this happened in your territory, and those firearms are yours. I have sufficient reason to believe it is you who self-directed this show. No one dares to pull dirty tricks on me, and you’re the first to do so!” The Duke stared intently at Nancy.
Nancy was so angered by his accusation that virtual-novel.net chest hurt.
Why would I put on such a show?
I still need virtual-novel.net to help me in returning to the palace to become the queen of Turlen.
Why would I be so stupid to put on such an act to steal his firearms?
I did think about pulling some dirty tricks, but virtual-novel.net ended up discovering my intentions before I could even do it!
In the end, I still decided to give virtual-novel.net the firearms. Now that the firearms are gone, I’m as angry as virtual-novel.net is. How can virtual-novel.net suspect me?
Nancy was infuriated by his suspicion. “You’re right. This is my territory. But I can’t even move freely now, and I don’t have many people under me. Why do you think I have the capability to plan such a show? Since neither of us took the firearms, then you should go and investigate who took the firearms.”
She paused for a moment and continued, “I believe that with your ability, you can definitely find out the truth.”
The Duke gazed at virtual-novel.net before turning around and walking out.
“Your Majesty, do you think the Duke will believe that the firearms were really stolen by someone?” asked Monisha after the Duke left while wearing a darkened expression.
“Where do you think the firearms could have gone?” asked Nancy with a sullen face. “They must have been stolen by him. He purposely came here to falsely accuse me.”
“Why does virtual-novel.net want to accuse you?” As soon as Monisha asked that question, virtual-novel.net eyes widened. “Is it to dissuade you from doubting him?”
As Nancy nodded, Monisha grew even more terrified of the man.
The firearms are already in his hands, yet virtual-novel.net still came over to accuse Her Majesty and acted as though virtual-novel.net did not get any benefits out of it.
This man is frightening!
Meanwhile, at the palace, Aaron could not help but smile triumphantly after learning that the firearms had been stolen.
Celeste, who came to send virtual-novel.net supper, asked virtual-novel.net why virtual-novel.net was so happy when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net beaming. After learning that Aaron had stolen Nancy’s firearms, Celeste was glad for virtual-novel.net as well.
She asked, “How did you know that Her Majesty had firearms?”
Complex feelings surged within virtual-novel.net heart when virtual-novel.net son told virtual-novel.net where virtual-novel.net got the information.
Back then, when virtual-novel.net first knew that Aaron had a crush on Arielle, virtual-novel.net even sent someone to deal with Arielle. Though virtual-novel.net didn’t endanger Arielle‘s life, virtual-novel.net caused the latter to get hurt.
“Aaron, since you are the king now, I think it‘s time to announce virtual-novel.net identity as the princess!”
