Bab 193: Almost!

"What?" 

"I'm asking you, Poul. What are you doing a week before Penelope's disappearance in the Royal Hospital where she works?" 

Upon asking that question twice, Alexander stared daggers at Poul who were unfazed at the glare. But deep inside, every cell on his body is blaring an alarm, that the prince might have uncovered the truth. But how much truth did he learn? Did he just learn that he visited Penelope in the hospital or did he find out the whole plan?

Poul has to gamble on whether to answer Alexander, as one wrong answer could indict him. Well, he could have avoided this from happening if he never attended the state funeral, but he had done this to make this visit to make sure that their suspicion won't be directed to him.
