Brittany looked around for someone to support her.
But the dozens of eyes on Brittany contained only shock and disgust, not sympathy.
“Yes, I bought one bottle of ink for each type, and I can show you the receipt. If you don’t believe it, I can ask the store owner to testify.”
Brittany’s eyes wavered.
“You… You, sneaking into my room…”
“Did your bodyguards or maids ever stay in your room?”
“I, I… I…”
Brittany felt like her heart was stopping.
This isn’t good.
In front of everyone, revealing such a situation was not going to end with just Brittany feeling embarrassed.
In Brittany’s wandering eyes, there was Maery.
“Ah!”
She had forgotten that she had a reliable ally in this overwhelming situation.
Brittany sent pleading eyes to Maery, but Maery subtly turned her gaze as if she didn’t know.
“Crazy…!”
Something exploded within Brittany.
The thread of reason snapped.
“Betraying me?”
She didn’t intend to die alone like this. No matter how much of a princess she was, she couldn’t be used and discarded.
Alford still glared at Brittany courageously.
In this situation, there was a look that said if Brittany attempted to shift the blame onto herself, he would tear her apart.
Brittany felt the same way.
“Alford was trapped here.”
That night, she witnessed him being caught and dragged away for trying to do something terrible to Rishi. Since then, there had been no news, so she thought he had been chased away.
But being here now meant he had been trapped somewhere in this mansion since that night.
“Surely, he must have Maery Princess’s ring.”
Find that ring, and she had to prove Maery’s involvement in this.
If it’s known that a princess is involved, and it’s related to the Minas Aric Kingdom, Kei wouldn’t be able to exaggerate this incident.
“Yes.”
Once she found an escape route, her disarrayed thoughts became a bit calmer.
“That letter was indeed written by me.”
“Gasp!”
“Oh my!”
“How on earth…”
Sighs of shock were heard from everywhere, but Brittany was not flustered.
“But someone gave me orders to write that letter. Otherwise, why would I write such a letter, putting Iris in danger? The person who gave me orders is too high, so I had no choice.”
Brittany looked at Maery, who seemed to be safe from this situation, and thought that if she was going to escape alone, even if she was a princess, she wouldn’t let her off.

“I, I… I…”
Brittany felt like her heart was stopping.
This isn’t good.
However, there was no reason for the second prince or the duke to do so. Moreover, when the attempted poisoning incident occurred, both of them sided with Rishi throughout.
Brittany, who had been silent for a while, turned to Maery and asked, “Princess, didn’t you promise to watch my back?”
A moment of silence followed, then a stir ensued. “What’s going on?”
“Really? Princess Ketteben gave orders to Lady Whittle?”
“How could that be…? Why would the princess, lacking anything, try to instigate trouble with the countess?”
“It seems like Lady Whittle is lying.”
“Indeed. Who else could be trying to frame someone like this?”
The nobles exchanged opinions while looking back and forth between Maery and Brittany.
Maery, with more than half of her face covered by a fan, revealed only her eyes. There was no sign in her calm gaze that suggested any involvement in this matter.
As Maery, who should be defending herself at this point, remained silent, Brittany spoke again.
“Princess, you ordered all of this, didn’t you? You wanted Iris dead, so I had no choice but to help you.”
“…”
“What are you saying, Princess!”
“Lady Whittle, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know! Lady Whittle, don’t act innocent. I understand the urgency, but… if you wanted to kill Countess Green, why would I drink poison? I still haven’t found the antidote…”
As Maery lowered the fan, her face covered in festering pustules was revealed. Some noblewomen let out stifled screams, covering their mouths with both hands, while others turned their heads away as if it was too unpleasant to witness.
Tears streamed down from Maery’s right eye.
She covered her face with the fan again and said, “It’s come to this…”
“That was part of our plan. It’s difficult to openly poison Iris, and even if we succeeded, we could be suspected. So, it’s better if the princess drinks the poison. Let’s frame Iris as the culprit.”
“Stop it, Lady Whittle. The princess is still quite unwell.”
“Yes, Brittany. Even if you’re shocked, is it appropriate to drag someone who is ill?”
“Dragging Princess Ketteben into this is a crazy idea. Are you intentionally causing turmoil between Gabisar and Minas Aric?”
“If the Emperor finds out, he won’t just let it go.”
Voices advocating for Maery emerged from various places.
Brittany felt her breath being stifled. The gazes and voices of the people were like sharp knives, piercing through her entire being.
Watching Brittany fall apart, Rishi thought to herself.
“Scared, Brittany? It must feel like being stuck in the middle of a deep swamp. I’ve felt that way every time you put the blame on me. But Brittany, don’t crumble here. Struggle a bit more. I was foolish and stupid; I died without putting up a fight. But you’re not as foolish as I was.”
Brittany, staggering and looking around, soon regained her composure.
She anticipated Maery would resist. She had received the proof of their agreement for moments like this.
Brittany forced a smile and said, “I gave Princess a chance to rectify what she has done. If the princess comes forward now, there’s nothing more I can do.”

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
