Chapter 502 You Are Nice

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...

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.
