"Y-YOUR Majesty, i-is my H-Hanna really alive?"
"Yes, Hanna Quinzel is still alive," Nikolai said without turning to Amber Quinzel. He was now alone with the duchess in that room after Rufus left to catch the people who pronounced Hanna Quinzel's death. "The doctors who operated on your daughter are either incompetent to not notice the black magic, or they were the ones who put the black magic in your daughter."
Amber Quinzel, who stood behind him, gasped. "Your Majesty, are you saying that my daughter was attacked on purpose?"
"That's likely what happened," he said while taking off his gloves.
Even with the blanket covering Hanna Quinzel's body, he could still see how awful the child's state was. He almost didn't recognize the Quinzel Heiress.
If Neoma was there, she would definitely have a breakdown.
