Female Novel
Chapter 528 The highly effective poison
Before King Ducasse and everyone present could react, Martha's stern voice sounded in the hall-
"Catherine not only killed my mother, she killed the late king as well."
"When the late king was seriously ill, Catherine fed him the poison and watched him die in pain after
the poison took effect."
Catherine, who was sitting at the host's seat, suddenly turned pale when she heard Martha expose her
conspiracy in public.
At this time, the attendees standing in the hall heard this and looked at Catherine with eyes full of
astonishment and shock.
They didn't expect Catherine to be such a person, and even the late king died of Catherine's poison.
After everyone exchanged glances, some couldn't help but comment.
"How can this be?"
"Really?"
"Martha is not lying, is she?"
Soon, someone began to speak up for Catherine, and doubt the veracity of Martha's words.
"I've heard that Catherine is kind and generous all these years. How could she be that kind of person?"
"Yeah, I heard that Catherine doesn't even dare to step on an ant to death, so how could..."
"But Martha is the eldest daughter of the Lucas family, she won't say it without evidence, will she?"
More discussion in the hall annoyed King Ducasse even more.
After he came back to his senses, he frowned and clenched his hands into fists.
He turned to Martha, then shifted his gaze to his mother who had unfathomable emotions on her face.
He couldn't believe what Martha said.
Catherine, after the shock, glared at Martha furiously and shouted, "Nonsense! I never did those things
at all."
She didn't know why Martha wasn't afraid of her now.
Yet she had to defend herself when so many people began to disapprove of her.
Then with a sullen face, she questioned Martha harshly, "Martha, why are you smearing me in front of
so many people?"
Seeing this scene, the attendees didn't know who to believe for a while.
Even King Ducasse, seeing his mother like that, couldn't help but wonder if Martha made up such a lie
in order not to marry him.
Just when everyone was vacillating, Horadus who was standing behind Catherine suddenly stood up
and spoke.
"I can prove what Martha said is true."
Horadus' words astonished everyone else and all their eyes were on him.
They never expected that the person who finally testified against Catherine turned out to be her most
trusted guard.
Even Catherine couldn't believe that Horadus had betrayed her.
She looked at Horadus in disbelief, her golden eyes filled with shock.
Horadus had been working for her for more than twenty years and had always been her most capablenovelbin
assistant.
But now, this most capable assistant stood up to testify against her.
Horadus ignored Catherine's incredulous gaze, walked straight to the center of the crowd, and finally
stood in front of King Ducasse.
He bowed slightly, and respectfully stated all the evil things Catherine had done over the years-
"The eldest daughter of the Lucas family, Elsie, was indeed killed by Catherine Queen Dowager. After
Elsie escaped from Z Country, Catherine Queen Dowager ordered her men to hunt down and kill Elsie."
"She once lost trace of Elsie, but she never gave up killing Elsie."
"In the end, Elsie was murdered in the sea by Catherine Queen Dowager's men."
Horadus paused for a moment and continued, "After killing Elsie, Catherine still harbored a lot of
hatred, then she started to harm the late king."
"In the beginning, she just fed the late king some small doses of poison. Later, she couldn't take it
anymore and directly fed the late king a very powerful poison."
When he said this, his eyes turned red, and his voice choked with sobs when he spoke again-
"I- I saw the late king die in pain on the bed with his eyes wide opened."
When King Ducasse heard these words, he shrank in pain, and his face turned pale.
Impossible, impossible.
How could his mother kill his father with her own hands?
