Lady Regina sneaks to the ball hall. She planned to socialize with a lot of people. As long as she had enough witnesses that she was in the royal ball hall it will be fine.
Of course, she knew that a person like princess Ellen will suspect her but with no evidence, there was no case. When she got into the room she had a warm smile but as she started hearing the whispers and figure pointing at her, the Joy of pushing Ann down the stair vanished. Those women who used to bow to her pretend not to see her?
Even the ones that bothered to greet her, the mockery in their eyes was evident. One could not tell if these women were bad actors and could not hide it or if they simply did not care if she saw it.
The different version of what happened to her and house Tyler was so annoying. One was worst than the other. Her brother was kneeling at the entrance of the ballroom how could she still her smile.
"Mother," prince William called. He felt very but at this point lady Regina could do than ask him to be a little more patient. Prince Sebastian hated the fact that most of the lords were trying to get close to the crown prince.
They all flatter him about his achievements. Some asked him how he had managed to kill a shark, while others just praised him. It was clear that these men just wanted an opportunity to get close to the prince.
Richard was very composed and answered most of their question. His tone was friendly but this lord did not miss the superiority in it. It was clear to them that this man will indeed make a good king.
As expected of a man that has been under training with lord Zorander. Nobody knew when lord Zorander found his son. The old man was too smart. As long as these people believe that he has been training and preparing Richard for a long time they will have more confidence in his abilities.
Since lord Zorander did not give the time frame that he found Richard, many people began to speculate that it was during the war with Avalo. The war has lasted for almost three years. With the Avalo men camping to attack as they pleased. In these three years, Richard was at the war front, while Prince William will hide anytime the bell for war sounded.
Some people tried to rational and reminded others that he was still young back then, but their opinion was swallowed up. Even if he was young he could have helped out in the camp of the injured. If princess Ellen could do it, then why can he not?
The people trying to find excuses for prince William were forced to shut their mouths. They were not so close to Prince William, moreover, the only reason they bothered to speak up for the prince was so that they could get favors from him.
Even if he was no longer the crown prince he was still a prince of Bozoa and as long as King George was alive he still had some authority in the Royal house.
Lady Regina was dissatisfied with the news she was hearing. Soon she saw princess Ellen and her husband leaving. She guessed that they must have discovered Ann.
It took a few moments after the princess left then the royal physician was called. Her breath cut in her throat. She had expected Ann to die on the spot. If they bothered to look for a physician it mean the woman was still alive.
Lady Regina was scared, she knew it was a big gamble to have revived herself to Ann before pushing her down but she was confident of her death.
How did this become like this, lady Regina panic even if Everybody said they have seen her at the ball a single word from Ann will be her end.
Lady Regina panic, she immediately left the room to seek the physician. At first, she had thought that killing Ann with her hands was the best way to go. Who knows if the person she used will give her up like the stupid maid wanted to do.
If not that the prince had no interest in the maid''s explanation she might have been in lots of problems. She was hoping to find the Royal physician and ask for his help this time.
"What is going on?" she asked when she saw the physician returning to the ballroom.
"My lady, her highness seems to have fallen and gotten injured. Luckily the injuries are not so serious," the royal physician said. He had gotten to the room after prince Sébastien attended to Ann, so when he checked her wounds he did not notice anything serious.
Lady Regina felt like cold water was poured on her. How could the wound not be serious? She was sure she put more than the right amount of force to push her. Something was not right she knew this but she could not point her figures on what went wrong.
"will she be fine," Lady Regina sounded as if she was worried to anyone who heard her, but her worry lied in the fact that there is a chance for Ann to survive. The Royal physician was surprised to hear the worry from her tone. ''should this woman not be happy if misfortune came upon the person who replaced her?'' he thought but he answered her questions.
"she will be fine, Princess Ellen did a good job attending to her," the Royal physician said. He was unwilling to take credit for it.
"Her again?" Lady Regina thought and was angry. This princess Ellen? I should have killed her when I have the chance."
Lady Regina smiled warmly at the physician, the man noticed the smile was not sincere. He smiled back and excuses himself. It turns out that the former Queen was just pointing on an act.
As a physician, he had learned to read the body language of people. Since some of his patients could be so sick that they could not talk. In this situation, he will have to rely on their body language to find out where it hurt.
Suddenly a crazy idea flash through the man''s mind. ''was it possible that lady Regina had something to do with what happened to the new Queen? " he wondered and got a new meaning to lady Regina''s worried expression.
" maybe she was worried that she will be exposed if the Queen was fine, " this reason made more sense than her Bern kind enough to wish her rival health.
