The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Agnes was taken aback with what Lucianne just said but she stubbornly insisted, “No, I did. It was me. Please. I’ve always h-hated Ellia Morgan, a-and I wanted her j-job, a-and…”

“Who do you love most, Agnes?” Lucianne interrupted her with a seemingly-unrelated question.

Agnes was confused but seeing Lucianne’s warm, encouraging smile, she nodded with uncertainty and uttered, “M-My child, your Hi-Highness.”

Lucianne smiled wider and leaned closer as she asked, “A boy or a girl?”

“G-Girl.” She was still lost.

“What’s her name?”

“B-Bethany… we call her Beth.”

Only then did the men know what the Queen was doing. She was getting Agnes to trust her enough to open up. But Lucianne wasn’t done yet, and she asked with interest, “How old is she?”

“Four. Well, five next month, my Queen.” Agnes said, stuttering and fidgeting less than before.

“Is there anything in particular that Beth likes?” Lucianne asked, and when Agnes looked into her eyes, she saw no manipulation, no hidden agenda. It looked like Lucianne was genuinely interested to know about her little girl.

Agnes cleared her throat before she offered a small smile and said, “Chocolate, especially fondue.”

“Oh, so does my niece! We always got her chocolate fondue instead of a cake for her birthdays.” Lucianne shared.

Agnes was sucked into the conversation so she said, “That’s actually a good idea. Peter and I never thought of that. Probably time to do away with the cake tradition.” Lucianne chuckled lightly, encouraging Agnes to smile wider.

Agnes suddenly remembered where she was and what she was doing. Lucianne caught her regaining awareness too so she reached for her hand again and said, ‘Agnes, we know you didn’t d o it. It’s okay if you don’t want to tell us who asked you to do it but I need you to tell me something.” This piqued Agnes’s and everyone else’s curiosity. Wasn’t finding the culprit the whole point of questioning Agnes?

Lucianne peered into the woman’s lilac eyes and asked in worry, “Beth and Peter, are they safe?”
