Chapter 78: His false statement


    Lady Isabe had doubts that it was done by her highness, as lord Killian is just a kid to plot against her." appealed sir Mathews.


    "My lord, just having blisters is not enough to im that another person had tried to kill the applicant.


    It could be the sign of some allergy too." defended Damien.


    "Of course, it could be, but the point is, my client doesn''t have an allergy to anything. And it''s not only about blisters, she had food poisoning too." added sir Mathews.


    Wasn''t she in the pce, the next day? Roaming and chatting around, how could she have food poisoning then!


    "These are the medical reports and other evidence, my lord. And this is the sample of dried flowers that were gifted tody Isabe on her farewell." sir Mathews submitted everything to the clerk with a proud smirk.


    "The reports do say that she had suffered a fatal disease due to eating poisonous food and allergy powder was used to create itching in her body, that resulted in blisters." the report was read for everyone to hear.


    "But that did not prove that the food was part of the meal,dy Isabe had eaten in the pce. She had eaten food at other ces also. Can the using party have any proof about that." asked Damien.


    "My load, we have food samples of the dinner," he added proudly and Damien looked back at me, I shook my head and he closed his eyes.


    We both knew that samples were false, I had not mixed any poison, even I won''t do it now, that was not the way I wanted to get rid of her, I might be a viin but I was not a murderer for sure, not anymore.


    "May I ask, sir, Mathews, how did they get the sample from the duke''s pce?" asked Damien and Mathew smiled.


    "We had taken the permission of his highness, to collect the sample the next day whendy Isabe was hospitalised, as a responsible man, his highness had not only epted but even helped us in collecting them," he replied proudly and my eyes snapped to the man in question.


    He was sitting there with a nk expression. First, he did not let me have awyer and now he even had helped Isabe in making false evidence against her so-called wife.


    Did he not even care about his image now, or was it a way, to get rid of mepletely. Whenever I thought that this was thest level of his stopping low, he always proved me wrong by doing it further.


    Damien looked at me worriedly and I just shook my head, indicating that it was okay, I had stopped caring a long time ago anyway.


    "My lord, the samples can be changed too," added Damien.


    "Are you doubting his highness capability, sir Damien," asked Mathew rebuking and Damien shook his head.


    "I am just saying that the same food had been served to her highness, and lord Killian too."


    "It duchess Marianne ordy Marianne sir Damien, the person used can not use the royal way of greeting, I thought you are well versed in basics of thew, sir Damien." he repliedughing, "it''s alright, I guess new generation is always reckless and carefree." he taunted and I felt bad for Damien. He was one of the bestwyers in his ss yet he was getting rebuked here because of me.


    "And if it''s about eating food together, things can be mixed in a particr te too, sir Damien." he added "my lord, the poison was found in the soup and pie, both had sufficient liquid to get things minced easily." his stance was strong, I had never thought that Cassius would help them.


    If not because of him, the case would have already been ended.


    "I agree with your point, sir, Matthew. But I want to know how the soup that gets stale so easily was kept in the lord chamber securely for taking samples the next day. Shouldn''t it be discarded the same day if was left any, much less the leftover soup of Lady Isabe''s bowl?"


    "Wouldn''t the culprit get rid of it, the momentdy Isabe would leave the premises." he asked amused, "or was duchess Marianne waiting fordy Isabe toe to take proof so that she could get punished." many stifled augh at his statement and I shook my head. I should trust him more, it''s just I was afraid of dragging him into my mess.


    "That was the foolishness of duchess Marianne, what could we say in this." that bald man, stuck to his point, trying to prove me wrong.


    "But there is no proof that this is the same soup." Damien too stuck to his point.


    "We can ask his highness as a witness." added the bald man again.


    And everyone''s eyes turned to Cassius.


    "But the one who was going to pass the judgement cannot be a witness" added Damien not letting Cassiuse to the witness box.


    "In that case, I will not pass the judgement, sir Halmington will'''' he added as he descended the stairs.


    A loud gasp and murmurs filled the room, everyone was surprised at his decision. He had given the right to make decisions just for confirming a proof was something no one had expected.


    I bit my lip to stop myself from cursing him. Why was he so adamant to give his wordings against me, that he was ready to leave the right to preside over the case. There was something wrong with the whole scenario.


    He walked to the centre of the room and sat on the chair, designated to the witnesses.


    "Your highness, kiss the book."


    He kissed the book. "Your highness, were you the one who helpeddy Isabe in collecting the samples of soup from the lord''s chamber?" asked Mathews and Cassius nodded.


    "yes, I was the one who helpeddy Isabe in collecting the shreds of evidence."
