Kapitel 57: Lies And Traps

This woman.." she pointed at Diana, "came to me and asked me to poison the duchess later. She told me that the woman did not hold any power so it would not create any trouble. And i believed it because of the gold coins.'' She took out a small bag full of gold coins and threw it near Diana.

"But when I saw her bowing her head in front of the duchess, I realized she was fooling me. Later she would put all the blame on me and send me to the gallows. I am a poor woman but my life had some value too.'' Diana gritted her teeth. Her eyes widened with shock as she looked at Evangeline and then at the maid.
