I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 128

“What?”

The moment Ermedilin awoke from her three-day coma, she heard some rather shocking news.

“We’ve checked it over and over—I don’t even know how many times! But it’s true! Her title will be stripped soon, and they’ll expel her from the palace the moment she secures a residence outside!”

The news was so sudden that even Runi, who usually openly disliked Valière, wore a conflicted expression as she relayed it.

“What? How could such a decision be made so abruptly?”

“Right? They even imprisoned her when Viscount Bellian passed away…”

Runi, who had nearly spoken ill of Henri, quickly lowered her voice and glanced around.

Neither Ermedilin nor Runi knew that Valière had passed the orphanage information to Duke François, nor that she had personally stolen earrings to plant in the maids’ rooms to frame them for murder.

Though Ermedilin no longer felt much kinship toward Valière, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
