Capítulo 306: A Magician Was Involved [Bonus chapter]

The first thing that Arabella caught from Risa's thoughts was relief upon seeing she was alright. It wasn't guilt. Not regret. And not a sense of disappointment that her mission failed.

Instead, Risa was relieved and grateful. After all, if Arabella had died or remained unconscious, Risa could've been executed immediately along with Bert and the other maids who vouched for her.

Lucille could be stripped of her title as a princess or be a princess in name only and be imprisoned. She could get banned from Medeus as well.

And if Arabella had died, Ferdinand would ensure Lucille and all who were possibly involved, die as well.

"Your Majesty, it wasn't me. I swear, even if someone rewarded me with a kingdom, I would never dare harm you," Risa was teary-eyed.

But the most puzzling thing was that, no matter what Arabella and Ferdinand asked, it truly wasn't Risa. She did not add poison to Arabella's wine nor did she go to the banquet as a maid nor go to the kitchen as a helper.
