Chapter 310: Roland reads the fourth letter

Roland nodded.

He confirmed what Sigrid had already discovered when she looked into House Benwick. Before eliminating Lord Benwick, she had to know if there were others behind him that would come looking for justice or revenge.

"Until him." Roland confirmed. "He started making connections at a very young age of ten, from what I have heard. He used his connections in business to travel around the empire and beyond, studying people, learning weaknesses, collecting secrets. Then, when he was comfortable enough, he started selling his services to powerful nobles. Eventually, he found his way to the De-Kensington house and became the queen’s advisor."

"Mmmm..." Sigrid let out a skeptical sound.

"What?" Roland asked her.

"Did I forget to mention that he was working for your father the king, not your mother. Him, Romilda and the king had a secret club and they would meet up and plot how to deal with their enemies. Didn’t you ever notice that Lord Benwick did not truly help your mother in any way. For a man that passes himself off as clever, he did not even help her spread a positive reputation.

When people speak of your mother, they don’t really have much to say. All they recall about her is the fact that she was unloved, bitter and cold.

If Lord Benwick was truly helping her, he would have aided her in turning her into a sage queen. One whose good deeds would never be forgotten. She should have been the princess Diana of Eldoria."

"Princess Diana?" Roland repeated the name, frowning. "Who is that?"

Sigrid shook her head. "Just someone I heard about in a story. But you get the point that I am trying to make. He should have turned her into a queen loved by the people, adored, an icon. People remember more on consort Rina than they do on the queen. I have met three girls named Rina and not a single Maurelia. Benwick sabotaged your mother."
