Isabella obviously didn't know the real reason why she was killed.
The matter was later on discovered after Lizeth became the new queen, but it was all too late.
Isabella was still known as a tyrant throughout history, and only the royalties knew she had been wronged.
Lizeth also couldn't clear Isabella's name and only built her a nice cemetery to appease the wronged child.
When Mariella got this bit of information from the original novel's sequel, she almost sent assassins to kill the author.
Why didn't the author try to white-wash Isabella's reputation if Isabella was proven to be innocent?!
In the end, Isabella remained a villainess, and even after her death, she was still a 'villainess'.
In the romance between Lizeth and Erick later on, Isabella's death becomes a thorn.
Erick, who was full of justice, wanted to clear Isabella's name, but Lizeth was powerless.
This made the two argue and even made Lizeth doubt Erick's love toward her.
She thought that Erick's first love was still Isabella, and he had only realized it after the child died.
Thankfully, Mariella didn't read this part where the dead Isabella still became a villainess in the love story between Lizeth and Erick.
Only Monica knew, but the fat crown looked at Mariella and chose to hide the truth.
L-let's not make someone even angrier…
Anyway, after Duke Fez listened to Isabella's complaint, he finally realized that something was wrong.
Isabella...could it be that she was wrongly accused?
The original Isabella was ignorant, and she also never adopted Duke Fez to be her father.
How could anyone realize something is wrong? Only the true culprits knew, but they're all happy to make a five-year-old child their scapegoat!
Duke Fez's face was dark as he lured Mariella to talk more about the 'bullies', and after an hour, the duke understood a lot of things.
It turned out, all those nasty deeds that Isabella did has never been her own doing.
She had never visited the execution ground in the first place; how could she be the one giving the order?
There was a silent rule among the royal family that whoever ordered someone or a group of people to be executed had to witness the execution.
Clearly, no one tells the young Isabella about these silent rules.
Not even the royal concubines or the other princes and princesses!
Duke Fez suddenly felt remorseful.
If he hadn't been kidnapped, he would still misunderstand Isabella and would watch her go down the dark path!
Duke Fez actually didn't understand why he had never doubted Isabella's malicious rumors.
With his wits and wisdom, how could he suspect someone without investigating them cleanly?
Was he muddle-headed and blind before?!
It was clearly the original plotline's force on this world that led Duke Fez to ignore the abnormality.
But with Mariella's arrival, everything started to go astray from the plotline bit by bit.
"Dad, I want you to find those bullies and help me!"
Mariella indirectly asked Duke Fez to find proof related to those corrupt people to be punished accordingly.
"You also have to find proof of them bullying me! Else, no one will believe me! They all hate me! Hmph! Lowly people."
Mariella guided Duke Fez also to find proof about those corrupt people' conducts when they put all the blame onto Isabella's head.
Duke Fez wasn't an idiot, and everything Isabella asked him to do, he had planned to do it just for the sake of justice.
Even if he still couldn't accept Isabella fully because of her evil characters, he didn't want to stand still and watch someone framing a child.
Duke Fez nodded and patted Mariella's head once more.
"Okay, leave it to dad. Lala only needs to stay still and be a good child, okay? Don't bully the maids or your friends!"
Mariella only snorted at Duke Fez's words, but she agreed to stay still.
Of course, she didn't have any plan to bully others if they didn't 'irritate' Isabella…
Otherwise, following Isabella's nature, she had to do some nasty things.
With that, Duke Fez left the bedroom to find clues and evidence of those corrupt officials while Byron went to the castle's hall to announce Duke Fez's new position.
The hall was usually filled with reporters and those from the media.
The kingdom had several famous news companies, and all of them would hang out around the castle's hall since it's open to the public.
Today, the castle suddenly announced shocking news and all the popular newspapers instantly released the news that very same day.
Around tea time, the news that the queen adopted Duke Fez as her father had spread among the nobles.
Even the commoners at the capital heard about it and were confused for a while.
"The queen finally adopted a father? Isn't it too late? Such a wicked child...whoever becomes her father is so unlucky!"
"Hush, don't say that. Her majesty's adopted father is Duke Fez!"
Duke Fez was famous among the commoners and nobles as the war hero who liked children.
His image was steady, and everyone couldn't hate him.
Of course, those with evil minds always hated Duke Fez but couldn't make a move on the man.
Even the prime minister himself was a bit guarded against Duke Fez' military power, but he had never expected this to happen.
The middle-aged man wearing golden-rimmed eyeglasses instantly hurled a teacup toward a ten-year-old boy in front of him.
"Damn that b*tch! How did she suddenly think of adopting Duke Fez to be her dad?! Fck! Fck!"
While the prime minister was busy cursing, the teacup that he threw earlier hit the boy's forehead and the boy's forehead instantly bled!
