Francesca kept mum and waited.

William then lowered his head and took a deep breath. “Francesca, I'm sorry. I've lied to you. From the beginning, I knew I have been poisoned, and I knew the problem came from the water supply. I tricked you into coming here. There are two reasons why I've done so. Firstly, you're the only person who can save us from the poison and cure my leg. Secondly, you can see how His Majesty doesn't even care about whether I live or die.

After that, I wanted to use your name to prove the matter.”
