Thanks for the good chapter 👍🏼

David is trash, but he's so freaking fun. Oliver being the culprit seems too easy. Same goes for the military guy. I wonder how easily could, say, a minister of finance hide a noble house's debts and what could that minister ask of those nobles...

Appreciate the update! 👌

David brings up obvious suspects with good reasoning... however, it doesn't feel like any of them are the actual culprit

He has the feel of someone that does just enough to seem like they're being helpful, but in reality is just using misdirection. As she herself admits, he's got a good eye for people.

Props to the author for making the culprit less predictable. Any of these people could be the culprit because their behaviors and motives made them way too easy to be labelled the culprit but there is some nuanced to them that made them innocent as well.

My belief is that there was more than one culprit: the person who orchestrated the poisoning and Oliver, who once he found the Queen in such a terminal state, went mad and decided to "finish the job" by strangling her and chucking her out of the window.

Assassinations are usually quiet and discreet, specially for such high profile targets such as the very queen of the nation, so it wouldn't make sense for the assassin to poison her, strangle her and then throw her body out of the window.

The Fairylord also mentioned how much fun it is to watch people, on ch2p12. Some things said there might fit Oliver.

That's why I also believe more people have been at work here, even if they haven't been fully aware of the deeds of the others.

MF also isn't off my radar. He gave a plausible chain of arguments, why he wouldn't be the murderer...for the reasons, that he has given himself. That's just blindsiding people, with asumptions they made themselves or they would most likly make, if they would think about it. Just tell 'em the most likely way things might have gone down, lead them to the train of thought you want them to board and bon voyage. He didn't gave conclusive evidence, that he wouldn't have done it for different reasons or couldn't have done it in a different way. What if for a reason unknown to us readers right now, John couldn't ascent the throne after her death anyway? MF would still be the next King, even without the brother's death. Or the brother gets killed anyways in an failed offensive against the enemy. (Of course someone would make sure.) Or the marriage between the bother's now finace, than to be widdow, and the MF afterwards is already a deal made behind scenes. No, MF is still suspicious af.

Also, maybe the poor maid was killed to blame the poisening on here, while somebody else poisend her and goes unnoticed now. Even if MC wasn't expected to return from the dead, killing her as a scapegoat, just to make sure in case the poisening gets discovered, isn't unthinkable. Eventhough, the thing with the maid has been handeled sloppy. Or maybe she noticed something was wrong with the tea, called out to the wrong person and had to be disposed off on the spot.

lmfao no dude oliver dont be creepy i thought you were a real one

Chair-kun is disgusted by Oliver.

 

[dofzine]

Sniffing the chair is crazy

At first I thought it was MoFo who gifted jewelry to Anne. The Queen's husband, gifting jewelry to a servant? But it was Ophelia who gifted it to her. So Anne's father was a count, huh. That means she's a real lady in waiting, not a mere commoner maid.

It's disgusting that MoFo's doing things like stealing kisses when they're effectively separated and he's no longer her husband in practice. It was effective at making her realize she has blind spots though.

Oliver's ringing the yandere alarms... but this is really from MoFo's description of him. I wouldn't be surprised if this part was in fact a fabrication meant to smear him, a potential rival for the Queen now that MoFo desires her as well. But if he really is bonkers, she should never let crazy stick it in her.
