Chapter 423
The princess of Stoslo was respected by the people in Stoslo and was once known as the princess who
was the most down-to-earth. She had a lot of influence and was great with business. King Miller had said
that her ability to rule would not be lesser than his sons’.
Unfortunately, this princess who loved her country and people had fallen from grace’ because she fell in
love with Patrick Goldmann, who didn’t have the same social standing.
This ‘fall from grace’ had been the start of the internal conflict among the royals.
The royal family was split into two groups. One group of nobles, including the current Kents, supported
Prince Roger, the younger half-brother of the princess. They were known as the left-wing. The other
group supported the princess.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘The princess incident’ had been an internal conflict, and the relationship between Patrick and the
princess had given the lefties a reason to oppose her ruling.
After that, an epidemic had broken out, and the people’s love for the princess started to waver.
But without Patrick, the princess would have been controlled and killed by the lefties. Patrick was not the
ruthless killer that the lefties portrayed him as-the blood on his hands was not from the innocent.
Erwin slowly turned around, his eyes stopping on Maisie’s face. “The lefties want to attack the
Goldmanns because half of the royal bloodline courses in them. They want to eliminate the Goldmanns
to be safe.”
Maisie’s lips moved. “What about the de Armas?”
Erwin walked to her. “The de Armas used to be part of the left-wing, but when Patrick used Hernadez as
a hostage to force the Count to back out from the conflict, the de Armas didn’t pick a side. After the
Count’s accidental death, Hernandez no longer took part in anything between them.”
Maisie thought about it and coldly said, “Would the lefties cause the thorn in the relationship between the
de Armas and the Goldmanns?
What Hernandez had said hadn’t been caused by Patrick’s side. If Hernandez and Titus hadn’t lied, then
there could be three outcomes from that incident.
If someone was aware that Patrick had kidnapped the young Hernandez, someone might have taken
advantage of the chance when Patrick let Hernandez go and pinned it on the Goldmanns.
If the de Armas really were not involved, then it would be as Nolan suspected the de Armas had been
framed for his mother’s accident 1 5 years ago, just like how Daniel Kent had used Rowena as bait to
lure Nolan. Even if she died, it would have been pinned on the Goldmanns. Using the ‘hatred’ between
the two families and adding fuel to the fire, the de Armas had become a pawn in the elimination of the

Erwin smiled. “Maybe.”
“Uncle Erwin, there’s something that you haven’t told me. You kept saying later, or when I’m stronger.
Was it related to this too?” Maisie asked calmly.
Maisie had never thought much about it before learning of her mother’s background. However, she
slowly realized that things weren’t as simple, be it the relationship between Goldmanns and the royals or
even Erwin’s background.
He had never told her about himself because he was worried that she couldn’t help and become another
‘pawn?
Erwin didn’t admit nor deny that. “If you didn’t have anything to do with Nolan, I might have told you
earlier.”
