Chapter 264: A woman he had never seen

"The King did not trust you at that time. Now, you think if you will send a message to His Majesty, he will readily trust you," Maurice did not like the idea put forward by his sister.

"That is your duty, Maurice. You have to make the King trust us. You were unable to recover a journal from the Barnards and now, they have become the reason for our downfall. I do not want it to happen," Ariane stated.

"How can I make the King trust me? We both know well no matter how much Édouard fights with his father, in the end, King turns to him because he is his eldest son. He might punish me if he sees such a message from you without having any evidence. Don't forget he refused to believe that Philip could ever betray him until he saw the evidence," Maurice affirmed.

"You have to find Renee. I remember well how she was present at the time of Damien's and Édouard's birth. Just find out about her," Ariane said.
