Helen’s question revealed that she had guessed Janice had accepted a bribe and betrayed the Hell Monarch’s family. She just didn’t know who had bought Janice off.

Helen’s anger flared. “What does she want? When did it start?”

“It’s likely Janice was already under Grand Princess Eleanor’s thumb while you were still in the palace. Wasn’t Grand Princess Eleanor doing business with you back then? Janice must have sung her praises to you repeatedly,” Carissa explained.

Helen narrowed her eyes. She recalled the past and became increasingly furious.

She claimed Grand Princess Eleanor’s reputation for virtue was widespread, and that she was highly respected among the noble families in the capital. She also claimed Grand Princess Eleanor was so skilled at handling things that everyone praised her, making her sound more capable than even my sister. It almost made me respect her too!”
