Chapter 502 You are nice
On the other side, King Ducasse took Martha out of the royal palace and went directly to a secluded
place.
Martha pursed her lips tightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She knew that King Ducasse was
right.
She still had to investigate the true culprit behind her mother's murder in the royal palace. Offending
Catherine Queen Dowager now would not be a good thing for her.
But if it wasn't for Catherine mentioning her mother first and angering her, how could she have treated
Catherine like that...novelbin
As soon as she thought of this, she frowned unconsciously.
After calming down now, Martha suddenly noticed something was wrong. When Catherine mentioned
her mother just now, there was obviously something off about her attitude.
Did something happen between Martha's mother and Catherine before?
Seeing that Martha didn't speak, King Ducasse thought she had realized her mistake, and his tone
softened.
"It's okay. You don't need to worry about anything else. I will take care of it."
Upon hearing this statement from him, Martha suddenly raised her head to look at King Ducasse
uncertainly and asked him a question.
"Did you feel anything strange about Catherine Queen Dowager just now?"
"It's normal for my mother to be angry when she hears that," replied King Ducasse with resignation as
he looked at Martha with complicated emotions.
His mother had always been gentle and kind-hearted but today's outburst must have been because of
what Martha said.
Not long after he succeeded to the throne, he held a media conference to announce that Martha was
his future wife, and now he had to clarify it.
His mother was probably worried about he would a bad impression on the people of Z Country, so she
was so angry.
He unconsciously tightened his hand by his side, as an image flashed through his mind, causing him
slight discomfort, but he didn't pay too much attention.
When Martha heard this, her eyes darkened, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she didn't continue
the topic.
She suddenly asked another question based on what came up in mind.
"Is there any grudge between my mom and Catherine Queen Dowager?"
When King Ducasse heard this question, he froze in place, looking at Martha with a hint of confusion in
his eyes.
Suddenly, he realized that Martha was suspecting his mother and his face changed. He immediately
retorted, "No, I haven't heard of any conflict between them."
"Besides," he continued, "my mother is not that kind of person." He stared intently at Martha while
unconsciously tightening the hand that hung by his side.
In his memory, his mother had always been gentle and decent, never angry. She wouldn't even harm
an ant, so how could she have anything to do with the death of Martha's mother?
Martha pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, and she clearly remembered the appearance of
Catherine mentioning her mother just now in her mind.
"I have something else to attend to; I'll be going now."
As soon as she took two steps away from him though, King Ducasse grabbed her hand.
The next second he spoke hoarsely behind her back, "Am I really not as good as that man? Is he really
better than me in every way?"
Martha turned slightly and opened up King Ducasse's grip on her hand before gently saying, "No need
to compare yourself with him; you are a nobleman with power, strategy and status - better than anyone
else."
"But... you are not the one I like," she added.
Martha liked Stefan all along - it never changed from beginning till now. She smiled softly before
saying, "In the future, you will meet someone you truly like."
After saying this, Martha turned and left where she was.
She had to go to Sam now, and Eve, because she wanted to know what happened between her mother
and Catherine.
King Ducasse remained where he was, watching Martha walk away into the distance with golden eyes
filled with loneliness.
The person whom he truly loved had already appeared but unfortunately someone else had occupied
her heart.
