“I was told a little bit about Velly, one of my friends on my way here, and I think Lord Viester and His Majesty were mistaken.”
“What mistake?”
Helen felt as if an unpleasant taste was surrounding her mouth.
She asked, barely opening her dry mouth.
After that, Ellie avoided making eye contact with her. The eyes of Ellie who was talking seemed desperate.
“They must have thought that the medicine was owned by Velly, who serves Concubine Cecillia.”
“Is that medicine such a big deal?”
“I don’t know about that. However… Cecillia was immediately deposed from her position and kicked out of the palace, meanwhile Velly, after she was taken out of the dungeon… She ended her own life.”
“Is she dead?”
“…Yes.”
Ellie was extremely shocked that her friend, Velly, had died.
The friend whom she had gone through thick and thin with.
She thought that Velly probably confessed on behalf of her who wasn’t present there since she knew quite a lot about it.
Then, she even died in her stead….
Ellie nibbled on her lips in despair.
“Why does Your Majesty….”
Was Velly killed?
Ellie just couldn’t get the words out properly.
Because Helen’s face was already in a deep shock.
Ellie puckered her lips and tightened her jaw. She had to pull herself together.
Both her and Concubine Edith might have been killed as well.
“Was that medicine such an important matter? I don’t know why Her Highness was deposed She hasn’t even got the attention from His Majesty yet….”
While talking, Ellie suddenly found Helen frozen like ice in her spot.
She seemed scared.
“Your Highness….?”
Helen came back to her senses at Ellie’s question which was filled with doubt.
“H…uh?”
