"Your highness, when you see this letter, I think I will already be suffering eternal torture in the depths of hell."
"You don't need to be curious about why this is because when I decided to help Duke Stagg kill his majesty, this was my destiny."
"I don't plan on asking for your forgiveness and I don't have the right to.
I left this letter in hopes that the truth won't be covered up and you won't be deceived anymore. "
"The reason why I chose to reveal the truth at this time is because at this time, my most cherished family might have already met with misfortune.
I was willing to work with Duke Stagg and his highness Eric to kill his majesty because they threatened me with the lives of my family.
Now that my family is gone, this threat is already useless. "
"I am a shameful coward.
For the sake of my family, I agreed to this sinful bargain with them.
Even if I knew in my heart that even if I did this, in order to cover up the truth, they would still kill my family in the end. "
"Your highness, you must be very angry.
I understand your anger because my sins can't be forgiven.
I have served his majesty since I was young and his majesty has always been good to me. I should have repaid his majesty with the highest loyalty, but I betrayed him at the last moment and even personally sent a fatal poison into his mouth. "
"When I saw His Majesty drink that bowl of deadly potion, I was already dead.
Not long after his majesty died, I chose to commit suicide. Perhaps many people saw this as proof of my loyalty, but it wasn't, it was just a way to escape. "
"I couldn't take the strong guilt in my heart, I couldn't take being watched by his majesty every night when I slept, so I chose to escape and finally chose to commit suicide."
"Your highness, if you see this letter, it means that my premonition is true and my family has already been cleansed.
But it also means that I am lucky. I should have a family that survived and sent this letter to you. "
"I don't hope for your forgiveness, but for the sake of the gods, I ask you to forgive my only remaining family.
He is my family's only hope, I ask you to be merciful and forgive him.
My family doesn't know anything about what I've done, and they should have paid a sufficient price. "
"As for me, let me suffer eternal torment in the deepest part of hell, because my sins will never be cleansed."
After reading the final sentence, Seveni's hand holding the letter couldn't help trembling.
Anger, surprise, uneasiness, grievance, panic ….. All kinds of emotions that normally would rarely appear in Seveni suddenly attacked her. Her mind went blank and she lost the ability to think.
"So Father didn't die of illness."
"Father was actually poisoned and killed by Dema's butler!"
"The one who killed royal father was Duke Stagg and Eric was involved!"
The blood in Seveni's face faded and her white skin turned pale, looking very shocking.
After a while, the white suddenly turned red and Seveni's body suddenly trembled. Her lips opened and a trace of blood came from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Seveni's reaction, the deacon and Jarvan on the side were shocked.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?
Are you alright? "
Seeing that the deacon was about to come over to support her, Seveni quickly put away the letter in her hand and raised her hand to stop him from approaching.
After taking a deep breath, Seveni's face slowly recovered from its stupefied state and her eyes became as calm as usual.
But if one looked closely, they would find that her expression and eyes didn't have the normal warmth, rather there was a bone chilling chill.
Seveni looked at Jia Wen before looking at the letter in her hand. After taking a deep breath, she folded the letter and put it away. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth before opening the small book.
This booklet was actually a diary of Dema's manager.
This diary started three months before Lampuri Thirteenth died and ended on the last day of manager Dema's death.
Based on this diary, it could be seen that Lampuri Thirteenth had been seriously ill for several months and his body condition had quickly declined.
In the beginning of the diary, manager Dema's tone was filled with worry and sadness.
Around half a month before Lampuri Thirteenth died, the tone of the diary became panicked and it began to record the contact between Duke Stagg and manager Dema.
A few days before Lampuri Thirteenth died, the diary began to record the changes in Lampuri Thirteenth's body each day and manager Dema's hesitation.
After several days, when Lampuri Thirteenth passed away, manager Dema left a long diary that clearly recorded the circumstances of Lampuri Thirteenth's death. He described how Duke Stagg had forced him and how he had poisoned Lampuri Thirteenth.
In this diary, there was also mention of the small bottle left in the package.
According to the description, the small bottle contained the poison that killed Lampuri Thirteenth.
After this, manager Dema's diary clearly showed his will to die. The diary only recorded how he arranged for his family and his funeral.
In the diary, manager Dema said that he was clear that even if he didn't commit suicide, his highness Eric and Duke Stagg would kill him to silence him.
When he chose to commit suicide, other than wanting to escape from the endless guilt, it was also for the sake of his family.
However, at the end of the diary, he also stated that Duke Stagg and his highness Eric would take care of his family for insurance, making it easier to hide the truth of the matter.
Seveni roughly flipped through the notebook, but because she had seen the letter before, she wasn't that shocked.
But when she saw the part where Lampuri Thirteenth was poisoned to death, Seveni couldn't help trembling.
After reading it all, Seveni thought for a while in a daze before carefully putting away the diary and the small bottle. Her eyes fell onto Carwyn.
"Your highness … …"
Seeing the complicated look in Seveni's eyes, Carwyn couldn't help trembling as he felt a bit of worry.
His father's letter must have recorded a shocking secret, otherwise her highness Seveni wouldn't have spat out blood.
It was a good thing that Seveni looked at Carwyn with a complicated gaze for a while, but she didn't say anything else. She turned to the deacon and said, "Take Carwyn away to rest.
Also, seal off the news of Carwyn coming here, don't let anyone know.
Do you understand what I mean? "
The deacon gave a deep nod, "Yes."
"Go."
When the deacon and Carwyn left and there was only one person left in the room, Seveni suddenly trembled and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
When she let go, the handkerchief was already covered in a dazzling blood red colour.
Seeing this shocking mass of blood, Seveni finally revealed a look of endless sadness. She muttered in a low voice, "Eric, you ….. are you this cruel?"

A pure black Magic Sedan was quickly driving on the road leading to the Kingdom of Ruhr's capital, Caraca City.
This road had been built by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce three years ago and had been expanded last year. Now it was a large road that was twenty meters wide, which was the largest road in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
This road went to the border between the Lampari Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ruhr to the north and went to the Kingdom of Ruhr's largest port city, Nissi City to the south. It passed through Caraca City on the way and connected the Kingdom of Ruhr to the north and south.
Based on the horse carriages and the Magic Cars that passed through this road, it could be seen that this road was definitely the busiest road in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Facts were indeed like this.
The Kingdom of Ruhr had officially made this Ruhlan Road the most important road in the Kingdom of Ruhr. There were relay stations set up along the way and not only did they provide accommodation for travelers, they even had a small group of soldiers stationed at each relay station who were responsible for guarding the entire road.
Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages to this.
The advantage was that this road connected the north and south of the Kingdom of Ruhr. With this road, the Kingdom of Ruhr had developed quite a bit.
The disadvantage was that the Kingdom of Ruhr was a bit too reliant on this road. All the development was concentrated in the areas connected by this road, so the development of the other parts of the kingdom wasn't as good.
But this situation would greatly improve in the next few years.
The Kingdom of Ruhr had already signed a new agreement with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce. In the next five years, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce would build three more large roads across the Kingdom of Ruhr. Not only would they connect the north and south, they would also connect the east and west.
Other than this, they also needed to build several secondary roads that would connect the four main roads. The final goal was to spread the roads across the Kingdom of Ruhr, trying to catch up to the current road level of the Lampari Kingdom in five years.
"The Kingdom of Ruhr might have forgotten an important problem."
Kennard sitting in the back of the Magic Sedan looked at the horse carriages on the Ruhlan Road before shaking his head at Xu Yi beside him, "It's no use just having roads, the most important thing is to have suitable means of transportation.
Other than building large amounts of roads, the Kingdom of Ruhr might need to buy some Magic Cars from our company. "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Kennard, do you want to make a bet?"
