บท 340: Crazy royals

"You said you didn't want any bloodshed." Harold calmly said to Alicia, who was waiting for an explanation about what had just happened in the assembly hall. 

They were both in Harold's chamber now, alone. Except for Alvin, who was still sleeping on the bed. As for Paulina, they had no idea where she was hiding, and Susan was still fast asleep in her chamber.

"What happened? Didn't you say she died? Why did she suddenly say it was the queen? It wasn't the queen, right?" Alicia asked a barrage of questions, as what had just happened didn't make much sense to her.

Harold almost laughed, remembering the queen's reaction when Agnes pointed her out as the true culprit. The woman went berserk, pulling Anne's hair and asking her to stop lying before she killed her. It was a good thing there were people present to save the poor maid from her clutches. 

It was safe to say the last shred of dignity the queen possessed had completely disappeared today.
