Selma Payne's POV:
"... This is what happened, Your Highness. I killed Layla and then killed myself. And the murderer behind the scene is my biological son."
When Julie finished her story, everyone was silent for a long time.
Admittedly, many of the possibilities I had thought of before coincided with the facts. For example, someone manipulated Julie to commit murder, or Julie might be the mother of an illegitimate child, or Julie's soul splitting was related to the murder.
But when everything was put together, the story pieced together was shocking. Who would have thought that the truth would turn out this way?
Mother, son, and friends were entangled in a conspiracy, and the murderer seemed to be a child under the age of twelve.
What was even more ironic was that the murderer was already dead. We couldn't hold a dead person accountable.
