The woman shook her head so made the girl anticipate what she assumed.
"What you do, it has a heavy burden, my lady beyond what you might imagine. But please be careful, the person who helps you to do a wicked plan then would come to you with the same plan, this time you are the prey."
Delara grasped her point. She didn't deny that but also didn't accept that she was hand in glove with Livia but as it came clear, this woman had spies in the palace.
"I appreciate your advice, but I'm in the castle to serve prince Wilmore."
The woman's lips twitched to admit it but her father was the princess liveryman. The host butler arrived from nowhere and bowed to her, "Lady Elenore is here. Captain Bryant and Captain Jack are with her with Queen's straight order."
Lady Monaghan raised an eyebrow, the Queen was making Livia even more jealous than before. This woman could no longer fight against Livia.
"Please guide them here."
The middle-aged butler left the living room to bring Lady Elenore.
Elenore peeked at Nemo, he was looking around with anguish. Elenore had the same feelings, after three months, it was the first time she came this far and wished that the time she slew to come here worthed it enough.
"Please let us come inside."
"No, Captain Jack, let us hear what she wants to say in relief then I'll talk to the King."
She steadied herself and walked inside when the butler came inside.
"My Lady, please follow me."
Elenore proceeded with her strides. This mansion had become more lavish since the last time she visited Lady Monaghan.
Inside the Living room, the host stood up and greeted her, right after that she sat in front of her. After serving her, the host dismissed all of her maidens, even her butler.
"I hope you are doing fine after what you went through."
"Thank you for asking, but the grief that I hold in my heart can't be healed this soon. We lost lady Narayan."
The woman sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Could you find who had stolen the money of council?"
Elenore smirked bitterly before the cup touched her lips put it back on the table.
"No, this case had taken from me. You must ask the detectors. However, going after this case means chasing a wraith because the accountants were clean."
"Well, I asked you to come here and have tea with us."
"This is my honor," her eyes rolled on the quiet girl, she clenched her skirt.
After a moment, she put a small wooden chest in front of them, "Edmond worked on the poison that was in those sweets. This is that poison but it is a rare one. Hardly he could find it."
She paused for a moment and directed to the girl and added, "you had studied the poisons so I leave it to you."
Delara bent and picked the chest, and opened it, it was exactly the same poison Livia gave them. She bit her lip and put it back on the table.
"This is H poison that its formula comes from Alovena and we don't have it here to make it."
"Yes, Ed had bought it from a merchant from Alovena, it seemed they used this poison to get rid of mice in the ships that used to devastate cargoes."
Elenore frowned, this girl was a part of that. Bryant and Kate followed the tracks and searched their rooms and found it in their chamber when they were entries of mistress selection.
"It can kill the mice but for humans, it brings bad poisoning but can't kill. The person who used this poison wanted to trouble Lady Luna and you girls."
The host added and this time Delara jolted.
"A maiden died because of this. She persisted that she didn't use the poison."
"Yes, Lady Elenore, please take care of the ladies, if something happens to them Velator will lose face among all other countries."
This one almost made Elenore laugh, Velator was famous for its dark court, all those who came to this court couldn't leave alive.
"I'll do my best, but I wish that the ladies understand who they meet regularly, I can settle their safety unless they are vigilant."
Delara couldn't move her tongue, she thought that Livia would cover her back for their affairs but as it appeared if the poison was found, it could send Vanessa and her back home and no one would ever look at them.
"Lady Delara, are you fine?"
Delara quickly shrugged the thoughts off and smiled but tears of rage were gleaming in her eyes.
"I am, thank you for the concern. From now on, I'll be more conscious."

The King was surveying between documents when Gaven came inside.
"Is my daughter-in-law well?"
"Yes, hopefully, I saw no sign of danger. Do you want to meet her sister? I didn't expect a hybrid to be like this!"
It caught the King's attention.
"What do you mean? I'm keen to see this girl."
"She is kind but I can see how she is protective when it comes to Lady Luna. She wore a cover and surveyed all around the castle, every single corner and when she stopped near the princess Livia's building, she said something interesting."
"What did she say?" The king's eyes blazed, that girl could kill Livia after what she had done to take her sister's life.
"Dear princess, you must leave this castle and experience how people suffer."
A tinge of grin shaped on the King's face.
"So she wants to help me to send my daughter on a permanent vacation," he laughed, this girl had the urge to wash her fury down.
"Yes, but what makes me concerned is that if they realize the princess had killed their parents, they might not endure it or be convinced with deporting."
"That is why I want to sue my daughter, to punish her, to clean my mistakes that includes my children. Now that Wilmore had decided to prove himself that he is not a devil, I am inclined to fulfill my duty.. He will have hard times passing that abyss of hell."
