While the meeting to determine Alicia's fate was ongoing, in Susan's chamber, she and Williams waited impatiently for Luciana to join them. They didn't have enough time to spare now because they were not sure if the assembly was going to come to an agreement on whether Princess Amber was guilty or not.

Susan and Williams decided not to go to Lance first, but instead to speak with Luciana and find out her reason for asking them to find out where Lance had been on the night of the banquet.

That way, they could have more facts with which to face Lance, since the last thing they wanted was to go meet him with partial information and make him aware of what they knew.

"Why is she taking so much time?" Williams asked impatiently as he paced around Susan's bedroom.

"Be patient. You know she has to sneak out of her quarters and sneak past all those maids and guards without getting noticed. She is risking a lot more than us by doing this," Susan said as she also paced her chamber.

Thankfully, they didn't have to wait too long before Luciana knocked on the door, dressed once again in her maid's uniform. Thanks to everything that was going on around the palace, no one was paying attention to anything else.

Susan quickly opened the door when she heard the knock, and Luciana walked in, "You sent for me. Did you find anything about Lance? How is the assembly going? Is Princess Tyra awake?" She asked immediately Susan shut the door behind her.

"Calm down," Susan said before shooting Williams a 'Can you see that we can trust her?' expression.

"Everything is still the same. Damon arrived a while ago, and the assembly just started now," Susan said before looking at Luciana closely.

"I got your message. Why are you suspicious of Lance? Did you see or hear something?" Susan asked, and Luciana gave them a nod.

"He has not been on his best behaviour lately. All the maids are scared of approaching him." She mentioned.

"But Lance has always been like that, right?" Susan asked. Even though they were beginning to point to him as the suspect, she needed to have solid proof. They couldn't just say it was Lance because his mood had been worse lately and Harvey hadn't seen him that night. They needed more proof. What was his motivation for carrying out the act?

Luciana shook her head. "It is worse. He has been inside his room since the banquet ended and is being fed soothing tea and medicine. Not just that, he had a quarrel with Beth on the evening before the banquet and swore to teach her a lesson before he left."

Susan and Williams quickly exchanged a glance when they heard that part. Finally, they were beginning to get some clues.

"What did Beth do? And are there any witnesses?" Susan asked quickly.

Luciana nodded this time. "A maid had seen what had happened. But sadly, I cannot call her to question her about it. You have to do it."

Although Luciana tried to play it lightly, the twin siblings could see the sadness in her eyes. She had lost her Princess title and her potential Queen title, so, of course, no one was going to take her seriously anymore. Especially since she had always had a bad attitude towards the servants.

"Leana will show her to you. You can ask the maid what happened between Lance and Beth. But I still don't understand why he would do that to Prince Harold, Princess Tyra, and Princess Amber. Wasn't Beth killed at the same time as Prince Harold was shot?" Luciana asked in confusion.

"He may or may not have had a reason to do what he did," Susan said to Luciana before looking at her brother to tacitly ask for permission.

When he nodded, she explained to Luciana what Tyra had told her about Lance.

So here is how it is; one, he didn't like Princess Tyra and didn't want to get married to her after the banquet ended. He had also gotten into a fight with Tyra to prove it.

Two, Prince Harold had come to his sister's rescue and taught Lance a lesson. He probably could not handle it since he was such an arrogant idiot. So he must have vowed to get back at him.

Three, he had gotten into a fight with Beth and swore to teach her a lesson. This happened on the same evening.

Was it possible that all of this was linked together?

"Maybe he had really done it? What is the best way to get back to Prince Harold if it wasn't through his wife?" Susan asked excitedly, beginning to believe that they had found the culprit seeing as Lance had something against Beth, Tyra, and Harold, and Harvey had also seen him leaving before the end of the banquet.

"Yes." Luciana nodded confidently. "I think it must be him. I noticed he was very angry when Prince Harold acted rudely to his family after Princess Amber offered to teach his mother how to make her snacks."

William pondered it. For some reason, he didn't think Lance was capable of pulling something like this off. He didn't seem that smart or that audacious. And his family was usually careful, considering the position they had in the kingdom.

"Have you been able to find out where he was?" Luciana asked, and Susan exchanged a look with Williams again before giving Luciana a nod.

If they were going to all work together like this, they needed to be honest with each other. Besides, they couldn't have found the biggest suspect without Princess Luciana's help. Both she and Harvey helped.

"Yes. I think you are right. Lance might be responsible," Susan said as she also told Luciana what they had learned.

Since she didn't have time to spare, she didn't think it was necessary to start looking for the maid to question her about what the fight had been about.

She didn't care what Lance had fought over Beth for, the most important thing was that they had all the clues they needed. And he might just be the one responsible for all this. And they hoped they were correct.

"Alright, I have to return to my chamber now. You should go and confront Lance. Don't forget to send a message to me when you're done, so I can know what is happening," Luciana said before leaving the siblings.

Once she shut the door behind her, both siblings exchanged a look before heading for the door.
