If it weren’t for the magical water sharpening her vision, she might have completely missed the bug.

The young palace maid froze, then leaned closer to inspect the stool. After a careful look, she finally spotted the small black bug

She immediately bowed as she pleaded, “Your Grace, I’ve failed in my duties. Please punish me.

The palace parties were ki

even a speck of dust was allowed, let alone a bug.

And yet, there was a bug on the Holy Lady’s seat. If it had been someone with a harsher temper, these maids might have been executed.

The maid’s head remained bowed as she started to tremble, feeling terrified.

“Clean this up. You’ll stay by my side later,” Eliza said.

Yes.

Since they’re trying to put me in my place, I’ll play along, Eliza thought.

Eliza glanced at the maid. After having her clean up the area, Eliza didn’t dismiss her.

Eliza settled back into her seat, reached under the table, and released a small black spider.

This spider, nurtured with magical water and poison, wasn’t an insect but venom.

Since they wanted a contest, she’d gladly see whose poison was deadlier.

Before long, most of the expected guests had arrived, including those from the Stonor family.

Eliza lifted her gaze slightly and, as expected, spotted Sophie seated beside Gabriel across the table. The only ones absent were Matthew and Anthony.

Sophie looked up and met her eyes. Their gazes clashed in a silent battle of wills.

Moments later, Sophie was struck by a sudden thought. She shot Eliza a sharp glare before quickly looking

Sitting quietly and obediently next to Gabriel, Sophie seemed unusually well–behaved, almost out of character.

Just as Eliza found this odd, someone suddenly took the empty seat beside her.

The strong presence and familiar aura made her instinctively turn her head.

Sure enough, it was Nolan.

“When did you get here?” she asked.

He replied. “Just a little while ago. Why didn’t you wait for me so we could come together?”

Eliza was puzzled. “We weren’t even heading in the same direction.

“It was just a detour of two streets. How is that not the same direction?” Nolan countered, unwilling to let it go.

Eliza sighed in resignation. Fine, fine Your Highness, how about we head back together after the party? That should be on the way. right?”

“No” Nalari replied.

Elza gave him a confused look.

Eliza couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.

Eliza rose along with the crowd and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Greetings, Empress Dowager! Long live the Empress Dowager!”

“Everyone, please sit.” King Magnus entered the grand hall with a smile, accompanied by the Empress Dowager.

Once seated, King Magnus waved his hand. “Alright. I invited everyone to celebrate First Moon Day today. Let’s all relax and enjoy ourselves. Eat, drink, and enjoy the performances.

For a moment, the hall was filled with laughter and festive cheer.

From antique paintings to emeralds and gold artifacts, there were endless varieties.

Finally, when it was the senior officials‘ turn, the item that Eliza had been waiting for made its debut.

However, she didn’t expect the speaker to be Fletcher, the Chancellor.

Fletcher stepped forward, holding an intricately carved wooden box. His excitement was evident as he said, “Your Majesty, this treasure came into my possession by sheer chance not long ago. At first, I couldn’t believe it myself. It took several renowned physicians to confirm its authenticity. And now, I brought it here to present to Your Majesty.”

After building up the suspense for the king and everyone else, Fletcher carefully opened the box.
