Your knees dropped on the floor, feeling the heavy weight of a burden on your shoulders as Court Lady Kang tried to catch you in her arms but was laid on the floor instead. You watched the situation helplessly as your maids got taken away by the guards while they begged and called for you.

"What happened?" You let out a shaky whimper as Court Lady Kang knelled beside you, letting out a soft cry. 

You could hear their cries and screams beyond the Palace walls before your eyes landed at your chambers as the guards invaded your entire palace in search for the evidence. They were even getting the entire place rambled upside down.

Just from what you brother said— maybe the incident today had something to do with that Jungkook again knowing how your brother is so worked up with the case. Of course, it has always been Jungkook.

"The Prime Minister investigated the one who attempted to kill Consort Jeon." She sobbed, gripping your shoulders making you wonder, what does that have to do with you? You didn't do anything at all!

"They are going to interrogate the entire Queen's court maids and the chamber."

You knew too well that when it comes to Jungkook's case, everyone would panic especially your brother, and your brother or Jimin would immediately, without doubt, point at your direction. The three of them knows that you're the evil one here. You were the one who always gets in their way, and the one who would do something wicked. But this time, it wasn't your fault.

So who is the one putting the blame on you? Or did they assumed that it was you again? You have always been the bad character here.

Court Lady Kang sniffled, facing you. "You didn't do anything wrong, Your Majesty."

You didn't even know about Jungkook being poisoned— heck you didn't even leave the palace ever since you and Jimin talked that day. And now, they think that you poisoned Jungkook?

You looked at your Court Lady, watching her as she cried for you, and you felt secured that atleast there was someone out there who would be with you no matter what.

"Your Majesty's brother didn't even give you a chance to tell your side." A single tear fell on your cheeks, gripping your skirt and body trembled in anger. Your own brother will be the death of you knowing he doesn't trust you anymore.

And Jimin— did he finally gave up on you? 

"I want to speak to my brother," You scorned, standing up and wiping the tear on your cheeks.
