Cale had those questions but decided to focus on her story for now.

�Furthermore, I also realized that my family, the royal court, and even the entire Molden kingdom was being tricked by that motherf*cking bitch.�
�Are you saying Elisneh the First is showing an illusion to the entire Molden Kingdom?�

Choi Han interjected into the conversation.

�No. There was no need to do that. She acted as a benevolent monarch and covered her horrible deed.�
�Is that horrible deed the dead mana inside the palace?�

Jopis sighed after hearing Cale�s question.

�Oh my, sir, you really know pretty much everything.�

She nodded her head and sat up straight.

�That�s right. I saw the dead mana river once I pushed the illusion away. I saw that river that flows in a zigzag pattern. I attempted to stop Elisneh the First ever since that moment.�
�Why didn�t you tell other people the truth that you discovered?�

Jopis started to laugh after hearing Choi Han interject again. She looked elegant even as she laughed.

�Everybody in the palace, the royal family, administrators, servants, and maids are under the illusion. Furthermore, Elisneh the First has pretended to be a benevolent monarch to the citizens of the kingdom.�

Elisneh had continued to develop the kingdom.
Who would realize her inner mask?

�Nobody believed me. Even the people in the village below who followed me until the last moment could not get rid of the brainwashing if they had been in the palace for even a short duration of time.�

There was a bitter smile on Jopis�s face.

�The reason they chose to follow me was not because they realized Elisneh�s true nature, but because they trusted me more and loved me more than the others did.�
�Ruff, ruff!�

Jopis petted the puppy that was rubbing its head on her leg.

�Of course, these children believe me.�

There was something Cale could not understand as he heard Jopis�s story.

�Why did Elisneh keep you alive?�

She was the only person in the palace who had realized the illusion. Why did Elisneh keep such a dangerous person alive?
Because she was her younger sister? Because of affection for her family?

Smile.

Cale saw a smile appear on Jopis�s face. JrNovels.com
