Chapter 55 She's Already Dead

Chapter 55: She’s Already Dead

The man in question, Igor, frowned at him.

“What happened to the information I asked you to find out?” Igor said.

Basil wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and delightedly pulled out the letter and handed it to Igor.

“Here it is, Your Majesty. I was actually on my way to deliver it to you,” Basil laughed wholeheartedly.

Igor began to read the letter. His face darkened and he immediately crumpled the letter into a ball.

“What is it about?” Basil asked.

Igor threw away the letter but Basil quickly picked it up and read through the contents. A moment later, he let out a dismal sigh.

“The Crichtons locked the Countess’ cousin in jail and threatened her. The Crown Prince, along with the king’s approval, planned to kill him should she refuse to take the princess’s position. Is that why she asked for a moment of time alone with you to request that she choose you instead of the princess?” Basil spoke with a straight face rarely seen as Igor looked at the port. “The Countess must have had a rough time. She gave up a lot.”

“What is she doing now?” Igor asked softly.

“I took her to the cabin, the one you threatened me to have transformed into a princess’ room overnight.”

Basil recalled yesterday’s situation and gnashed his teeth in frustration. After Rihannan went back to Chrichton, Igor ordered Basil that he clean and decorate her cabin room immediately. Basil had experienced many troubles overnight. He had to use all his connections, such as blood ties, to purchase all the items and necessities he needed in a kingdom that despised Arundell.

“Her face didn’t look so good. I think she shed some tears after meeting the princess at the port. I don’t know if it’s okay for her to be alone in that room without a maid. Please be good to me from now on since I’ll also be tending to her. Please…” Basil begged.

“What do you mean no maid?” Igor picked up the food he spilled.

“Well… the Countess did not bring a maid with her… I thought you would have done it…” Basil replied with caution.

“Basil!”

Igor’s angered voice caused Basil to flinch and he hurriedly worked to pacify his anger. “Ah, I beg you, Your Majesty… but what can we do about the ship already leaving? Until we arrive back home, I’ll do my best to check up on her every hour, every second! So please let go of your anger.”

“……Okay.”

Fortunately, the king fell for his words. Basil breathed a sigh of relief while Igor looked at the cabin Rihannan stayed in nervously.

The situation was far worse than he had expected. If he had known this would have happened, he should have checked on her before leaving the port.

Igor bit his lips.

But if she were to find out that he was the same man she knew, everything would be over. No one would ever forgive the person that caused their death. He was well aware that Rihannan accepted him because he was not the?Igor?she knew from the past but the?Igor?of this present.

Igor looked at Rihannan’s cabin nervously once more. He had made all the arrangements to see her again and succeeded to have her by his side. But there was one problem… he had no idea how to win her heart… her closed and caged heart.

Then, the curtains from Rihannan’s window were pulled back and Igor saw her figure. She looked up at the sky, her icy pale blue eyes evident. After staring at the sky briefly with a calm expression, she took something out. It was a small glass bottle containing a liquid.

At that moment, memories from the past pervaded his mind.

Flashback...

“She’s already dead.” The woman with flaming red hair burst out into laughter; it was laughter that contained madness. “She took the poison I gave her without hesitation. She believed like a fool that you’ll have her throat slit and head decapitated tomorrow. She died resenting you until she no longer breathed. How do you feel now?”

Then Igor ran straight to the prison she was in. Everyone at his side dissuaded him, but he pushed them all aside and ran like a madman towards Rihannan. He had not seen her drink the liquid poison, so he thought there was hope… hope that she was alive. Though she was vulnerable, though naturally weak, Igor believed she would never do it.

But what he found when he got there was that she who was always so indecisive did not hesitate in her last moments…

“Your Majesty?”

Igor suddenly ran towards something.

Basil felt something unusual going on and thus chased after him.

The place Igor ran to like a lunatic was Rihannan’s cabin. Not long after he entered her room, a shrill cry rang out.

Basil immediately drew his sword.

“Your Majesty!”
