Volume 4 Chapter 78 - Diary (1/2)

“Your highness, when you see this letter, I will be suffering eternal damnation in the deepest part of hell.”

“You don’t need to be curious why this is because when I decided to help Duke Stagg kill his majesty, this was the destiny that I was doomed to live.”

“I’m not asking for your forgiveness nor am I qualified. I’m leaving behind this letter in hopes that the truth won’t be covered and that you will no longer be deceived.”

“The reason that I chose to expose the truth at this time is because the family that I’ve treasured the most has suffered a misfortune. The reason I was willing to help Duke Stagg and his highness Eric kill his majesty was because they threatened me with the lives of my family members. If my family is no longer here, there is no threat.”

“I am an ignorant coward. For my family, I agreed to conduct this evil act with them. Even though I knew in my heart that by doing this, they might trap my family to death in order to cover up the truth.”

“Your highness, you must be very angry and I can understand this because my evil deeds can’t be forgiven at all. I have served his majesty since I was young and his majesty has always been very good to me. I should have given his majesty the greatest loyalty, but I betrayed him at the last moment, even putting the poison into his mouth.”

“Seeing his majesty drink the poisoned medicine, I was already dead. Not long after his majesty died, I chose to kill myself. Perhaps it was considered a loyal act by many people, but actually it was just a kind of escape.”

“I couldn’t bear the guilt from this act, I couldn’t take seeing his majesty looking at me every night when I slept, so I chose to escape and finally chose to kill myself.”

“Your highness, if you see this letter, this means my premonition has come true and my family has been purged. This means that I was lucky enough to have some family members who survived and brought this letter to you.”

“I’m not expecting forgiveness, but I ask you to forgive my family members. They are the final hope of our family, I hope that you can be benevolent enough to forgive them. My family didn’t know the circumstances of these matters and they should have paid enough of a price already.”

“As for me, I will suffer the greatest pain in the deepest part of hell forever because my crime can never be washed clean.”

Seeing this last line, Seveni’s hand holding the letter couldn’t help trembling.

Anger, shock, anxiety, aggrievement, panic…..and all kinds of other feelings hit Seveni’s mind all of a sudden, It turned her mind blank and she lost all her ability to think.

“So royal father didn’t die of sickness.”

“Royal father was actually poisoned by manager Dema!”

“Duke Stagg was the one who killed royal father and Eric even helped!”

The blood disappeared from Seveni’s face and her fair skin turned pale white, looking very shocking.

After a while, that pale face suddenly turned red. Seveni’s body gave a sudden tremble before her lips opened a trace of blood came from the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Seveni’s reaction, the deacon and Jarvan on the side were shocked.

“Your highness, what is wrong? Are you alright?”

The deacon wanted to charge forward to help her, but Seveni quickly put the letter in her hand away and raised a hand to stop him from approaching.

She took a deep breath and Seveni’s expression slowly recovered as her eyes returned to their normal calm.

But looking carefully, one would find that her expression wasn’t as warm as usual and there was a bone chilling cold that was in it.

Seveni looked at Jarvan before looking at the letter in her hand. She took a deep breath and put the letter away into her chest. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her mouth before opening the book.

This book was manager Dema’s diary.

This diary started three months before Lampuri Thirteenth had died and ended with a final entry on the day manager Dema died.

Based on this diary, Lampuri Thirteenth had been sick for several months and his condition quickly degraded.

In the beginning of the diary, manager Dema’s words were filled with worry.

But around half a month before Lampuri Thirteenth died, the tone in the diary became cold and it recorded Duke Stagg’s meetings with manager Dema.

To the few days before Lampuri Thirteenth’s death, the diary began recording the daily changes with Lampuri Thirteenth and manager Dema’s hesitation.

Then several days after Lampuri Thirteenth passed, manager Dema left behind a long entry. He recorded the situation of the day Lampuri Thirteenth died, he explained in detail how Duke Stagg had forced him and how he had poisoned Lampuri Thirteenth.

In the diary, it mentioned the little bottle that had also been left behind.

According to the diary, this little bottle contained the poison that killed Lampuri Thirteenth.
