The SuprCourt was busier than ever today. At Rafael’s command, all leave was canceled. Even the assistant
minister, Peter Salter, who was at hmourning a loss, was worried about keeping his position.
When the major conspiracy case arose and Rafael asked him to return, Peter quickly put on his official uniform
and went back.
Eleanor and Henry were brought to the SuprCourt, Rafael would personally interrogate his aunt, while
Matthew was tasked with questioning Henry. Peter and Jared Lynch, the SuprCourt's associate chief, would
interrogate the remaining officials, servants, household physicians, and other staff.
Rafael didn’t rush to interrogate Eleanor. Instead, he ordered that all the weapons from Harmony Palace be
transported to the SuprCourt as material evidence. Meanwhile, the rest of the team began their
questioning.

Despite working tirelessly until nightfall, they only managed to interrogate a handful of people. Rafael then
ordered shifts for questioning, meaning there would be no rest. Matthew began organizing the interrogation
reports and statements they had gathered to present them to Rafael.
Rafael glanced at the statements and noted there were few. He pulled out the reports on Henry, which were filled
with questions but few answers, as Henry often deflected with claims of ignorance.
Matthew sighed in frustration. “Lord Henry claims he knows nothing. He only admits that the women in the
dungeon and those watched over in the courtyard are his concubines. When it comes to the weapons! or
whether Grand Princess Eleanor was involved in treason, he simply says he doesn’t know.”
“Without concrete evidence, why would he confess?” Rafael set Henry's statement aside and pulled out the
statements from Florence and Kurt. “Florence has been by Grand Princess Eleanor’s side for a long time. She's
her trusted confidante. As for Kurt, he’s the head of household soldiers. What did they reveal?”
Matthew replied, “Florence seems to be in shock. She kept muttering ‘impossible’ under her breath, and we
couldnt get much out of her, Kurt provided a good deal of information, but it was mostly trivial.
“He mentioned how Grand Princess Eleanor interacted frequently with certain families, the cruel treatment of the
concubines in the inner palace, and the various ways those concubines had met their ends-drowning,
strangulation, and even being thrown to their deaths. Each story was more tragic than the last. But when it came
to the weapons, he had nothing to say. He only says he doesn’t know anything about them.”
“When did he start working at Harmony Palace? Rafael asked.
“It’s been five years. He mentioned that the well in Harmony Palace’s back courtyard hides a number of corpses
mostly newborn boys and a few concubines who were tossed in after they died. That well is usually sealed. When
it’s opened, it means someone's about to die,” Matthew replied, still shuddering at the thought.
“Have you found out how many people have died? We need to trace the origins of those women as well,” Rafael
asked.
The treason case was undoubtedly significant, but the tragic deaths at Eleanor’s hands also demanded. justice.

“We haven't compiled the figures yet. The servants at Harmony Palace were rotated in and out, including the
trusted ones. No one knows if anyone had already died before they arrived. Also, not everyone knows how the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrand princess dealt with those people. Only a few of her trusted people handled it, and | suspect the old
confidants may have been dealt with too. I've also dispatched someone to retrieve the bones. from the well, but
they haven't returned yet,” Matthew explained.
“In other words, we haven't managed to uncover much information,” Rafael noted, picking up and glancing at a
statement from one of the household physicians
Matthew sighed. “We've been busy all day, but there are many people to bring back and even more to
accommodate. The interrogations only began a couple of hours ago. Since they're not afraid yet, we haven't
gotten much out of them. I'll focus solely on the questioning tomorrow.”
Rafael nodded, scrutinizing the statement in his hand. This household physician named Billy has been in the
estate for ten years, which means he knows quite a lot, but...”
Matthew interjected, “Peter conducted the interrogation, and his questioning style is always quite sharp. | didn’t
expect him to uncover such details. Grand Princess Eleanor strictly forbade the physicians from treating the
concubines in the courtyard or the dungeon, but she granted permission for Melanie Lester's
treatment.
“After two days of treatment, Celeste-Henry’s concubine’s daughter-sought Billy out and seduced him. She got
him to use a potent drug on her mother. She intended to worsen Melanie's condition to kill her at the end.”
