Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 3122 King Gawain I's Demise

"Ah!"

Iris, seeing her father's bloody death, dropped to the ground in fright, her eyes wide with horror as she looked at the vial in her hand. Poison in the pills? She wondered but quickly dismissed the idea as King Gawain I had only taken one earlier that morning, and he had been totally fine.

Then, she suddenly recalled how she would bring misfortune to everything she touched lately. She also remembered slapping Arabella and feeling an unusual sensation in her hand.

The realization filled Iris with dread. The king could not have died because of her. If that were the case, even as the second princess, she would be accused of patricide and regicide. Iris had ambitions, yes, but she never intended to kill her father, who had spoiled her since she was little.

"Matthew! Yes, it was his doing! He poisoned the pills!" she exclaimed and hurriedly emptied all the pills, touching them frantically with both hands before putting them back into the vial. Then, she rushed to the sink and scrubbed her hands furiously with water. Afraid they weren't clean enough, she then used soap to wash them repeatedly until her hands were red and sore before finally stopping.

When she looked at her father's dead body again, a seed of ambition took root and began to grow in her heart. Trembling, she grabbed the imperial edict from the cabinet, wrote a line mimicking King Gawain I's handwriting, and then stamped it with the royal seal. It declared that Princess Iris was exceptionally talented and would be the next ruler of Montiria.

After all that was done, Iris composed herself, hid the edict under King Gawain I's pillow, and then rushed out of his room, shouting, "The sun has set!"
