Chapter 112: Punish The Culprit

Orianna planned to warn Olivia again but before she could speak, a maid came running toward them with an ashen face.

Olivia looked at the maid in confusion, but Oriana just raised her head haughtily.

"Did her majesty call for me?" ha! She was not a duchess anymore but in laws of her majesty. The woman could not boss them around anymore.

"No! It is his majesty. Your grace, the duke.. You must come with me." the maid repeated with a grave voice. Her face looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Philip?" Oriana frowned. She had just planned to go visit him since he did not return last night. "Did he call for me?" That was strange since he never calls for her until he needs sex or favors.

Though she was asking, she had already started walking while being the maid.

The maid did not reply but she walked hurriedly. Oriana frowned further. She looked at Olivia in confusion only to notice that her face was ashen.

"Olivia, do you know what this is about?" though it was hard to imagine? Could her naive sister know more than she showed?

"I... I think his grace is furious because you did not consult him before coming with lord Damon or he did not like me at all." Olivia nervously pressed her fingers and played with her hands as she followed the maid.

Oriana frowned. She has informed Philip. But he had only snorted in return. "You and your sister could do nothing else! Return to me when she would reap benefits from her threats! Do you think it is easy to control his highness the second prince?" were his words.

Since she was not in a hurry, she did not argue with him. Lost in thoughts, Oriana had already reached the central palace. She was confused when the maid did not walk to the royal court, meeting room or even the administration building where Philip worked.

She kept walking until they were in the inner section of the royal palace. Oriana had been to the palace many times. She had even visited the central palace thrice but she never got the chance to explore it freely.

Now, her eyes were looking at the rooms eagerly. The decoration there was at another level. Their power, their wealth, their strength appeared in every decoration. Oriana could not help but feel envy.

One day! She would have all of this one day!

The maid stopped in front of a particular door. A strong pungent smell of herbs and burning came from inside. Olivier covered her mouth to make sure that she did not scream.

She has felt that Damon was behaving strangely earlier. But she had never expected this. Could he have?

But in her last life, the duke had died in an accident! But poison!?

Oriana frowned as she looked at the maid and then at the door but when the maid did not move, she frowned deeper and opened the door. For some reason, her heart felt heavy. Her body felt heavy. It was hard to walk inside.

When Oriana opened the door, she had to cover her nose to make sure that she did not vomit. As she took a few steps, she saw his majesty, her majesty, and the whole royal family standing there with a shocked look on their faces.

Damon was sitting near the bed. It was hard to see who was in bed when all of them surrounded it. But as she walked closer, they gave her way to join Damon and that was when she froze.

Oriana watched with widened eyes. Her heart stopped for a second and her soul left her body when she saw Philip lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Her lips parted but no voice came out. Her mind went blank. She could feel that everyone was talking around her but her mind did not register those words.

A strange siren started ringing in her ears. His eyes started to burn and before she knew, she collapsed on the ground.

Olivia, who was following her sister closely, was stunned to see Oriana falling. She had never believed that her sister could fall.

"Oriana!" she screamed and held her in her arms.

"She must be shocked!" gabriella walked closer and patted olivia. Edward walke closer and took Oriana from Olivia’s thin arms and placed her on the large sofa nearby. "We do not understand what happened. Duke Aykroyd had been fine this morning. I have personally gone to visit him to invite him for the dinner too.

But now.." she looked at the bed in confusion.

"Is he.." Olivia finds it hard to speak. Her eyes followed Damon but he was intently staring at the duke and did not turn to look at her.

Edward wrapped his arm around hers and shook his head softly. Everyone lowered their gaze mourning. Olivia felt like her feet froze. As if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. She could not help but shiver.

"How?" The voice was full of fear and pain. It sounded so foreign to her own ears.

"I think it is poison. But I am still not sure. He was speaking in a meeting a minute ago. He coughed and asked for water. But before he could even drink a sip, he fell on the ground and blood started to ooze from his nose and mouth.

They tried to shake him, but he did not move." Edward explained with a deep sigh. He had planned to convince duke Aykroyd to support him after marrying Olivia. Though she had said that she would be enough, there was nothing wrong in having assurance.

But who would have thought. He stared at the dead body with a strange uneasiness.

Oriana gasped. She looked like she had seen a ghost.

"We all are stunned. I understand your pain, Olivia. But there is nothing we can do. Who would have thought... but do not worry I will investigate the matter properly and punish the culprit!"
