Catherine had been aware of the mysterious visitor to Lance's bedroom but she was yet to figure out who it was. Though she
had no idea about who had been visiting Lance, there was a lingering fear in her mind. Her gut feeling told her that something
was not right. Since that visitor showed up, Lance, who had completely lost his zest for life previously, had started to fight for life.
And surprisingly, he had also started to feel better and look more energetic than before. All this was very unsettling for Catherine.
"Guards!" Catherine summoned the guards. She wanted to get to the root of the matter.
"Your Grace."
"Go and check on all the people who have entered the capital city recently. I want all the details about them," Catherine ordered.
The kind of incidents that were going on in the palace of the South Kingdom and the changes in Lance's health could not be just
a coincidence. Someone must be motivating Lance to fight for life. Otherwise, a man who had been waiting for death could not
become so hopeful for his life all of a sudden.
Catherine narrowed her eyes, trying to think who this person could be. Everything was pointing towards one person. But how
could it be possible? That person must have been dead by now! That person had entered the Labyrinth Swamp right in front of
Catherine's eyes and should have been killed by the Holy Beast summoned by Catherine. How could that person be alive?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. There was a lingering fear in her mind. But who else could pluck Lance
up except Diana? After thinking hard for a long time, Catherine could not think of anyone other than Diana.
"Diana, you can't be alive! No way! How could it be possible?"
After leaving the palace of the South Kingdom, Diana began hiding out inside the capital city with Howard. She had to stay

undercover in her hometown lest Catherine would find her out. Although she had been an arrogant princess addicted to fun, she
was not all that worthless.
In a secluded house in some less trodden area of the capital city, Diana sat in front of the window after taking a bath. Her mind
was preoccupied with something that her father had said to her. Lance expressed his ardent wish to meet Harper. She had come

much time in her hand. She had to do something very soon to persuade Harper to meet her father. "Howard," Diana said, fixing

knew nothing about her hobbies and interests. Finally, he gave up. He shrugged his shoulders and answered honestly, "I don't know." His voice was devoid of any sense of shame or guilt. Diana's jaw dropped when she heard him. She almost knelt in front of him out of admiration. "Are you sure, you are her elder brother?" she asked. "Yes. I have watched her grow up," Howard replied with much conviction

After pondering for a while, Howard answered, "I didn't know about it until she framed me."
"What? When?" Diana almost jumped out of her seat.
"Last year," Howard recalled.
Hearing that, Diana covered her mouth and burst into laughter. "You said, you have watched her grow up since she was a baby.
So, that means you had been fooled by her for nearly twenty years. I can't believe this! Don't you think you're too stupid?" Diana
said, rolling in laughter.
"And, what about you?" Howard retorted in a cool manner. "Catherine is also your sister, but did you know how vicious and
heartless she is? Do you know what she likes?" Howard didn't mean to be rude to Diana, but at the same time, he did not want

about Catherine either. She believed that Catherine liked to be the Holy Maiden, but it turned out that she
