On this day, Margaret suddenly asked about Duke Wilde.

Nina told her: "Duke Wilde is not a traditional hereditary nobleman. Duke Wilde bought the title with money. That year King Turcotte was short of money because of the war. Duke Wilde donated a lot of money. King Turcotte was very happy. If he is happy, he will be rewarded with the title of duke."

The title bought with money is still a duke. One can imagine how rich the Wilde family is.

Margaret thought of the crystal coral tree in her bedroom again, and agreed deeply, it was really rich.

"Later, the Duke of Wilde was not in good health in recent years, and the business of the family was gradually handed over to his eldest daughter, Judy Wilde. It is said that Mrs. Wilde died young, and the Duke was busy with business. It can be said that Lord Sheridan is in the hands of Miss Judy. Take the big one."

Margaret praised her: "Our family Nina is amazing, she knows everything."

Nina blushed embarrassingly.

Margaret doesn't have much time to learn swordsmanship with Sheridan every day, because she has other lessons, which will not appear in her schedule after the social dance, and then she will have more time to learn swordsmanship .

Margaret took the towel from Nina and wiped off her sweat, and sent Nina back to her bedroom to get a pair of jewelry. After Nina left, she asked Sheridan, "How is the investigation going?"

Sheridan said: "I have contacted several families that withdrew the lawsuit, and they are unwilling to say more. The family that did not withdraw the lawsuit is a minor nobleman with more financial resources than other families. In order to seek justice for their daughter, they are still unwilling to withdraw the lawsuit."

Margaret turned the sword in her hand, as if thinking about something.

Sheridan looked at her, "Does Your Highness already know who the prisoner is?"

Margaret said, "Hands out."

Sheridan scabbard the sword and held it out in front of her.

The palm of his hand had a thick layer of calluses from holding the sword all the year round, and Margaret wrote a name on his palm.

The slender fingertips slid across the palm, and the soft fingertips touched the skin lightly, causing slight ripples in Sheridan's heart.

To Sheridan's surprise, the name Margaret wrote down was exactly the same as that of the petty noble family's appeal.

"Your Highness, how do you know..."

Margaret: "Guess."

"Are you sure?"

Margaret thought for a while, "I wasn't sure at first, but I'm sure when you ask me this way, [-]% to [-]%."

"You believe me?"

Sheridan shook her head, "I only believe in the truth."

He said: "However, his suspicion is the biggest now, and I will continue to follow up."

"Because this matter has become a big deal, the other party has been very careful recently, and it is not easy to catch it."

Margaret asked him: "Aren't you afraid? After all, I am also a royal family, and the other party dare not touch me when I go out, how about you?"

Sheridan replied without hesitation: "I have never been afraid of the dark. What I am afraid of is the truth in front of me, but I choose to ignore it."

"That's not what a knight should do."

Margaret: "The ones who are alive dare not identify because of oppression, but the ones who leave have the courage but can't tell."

"Since there are no conditions, it is better to create conditions."

After Nina came back with the box containing the jewels, Margaret and Sheridan had almost finished talking.

Margaret handed the box to Sheridan, "I heard you have a sister, this is for Miss Judy Wilde."

Sheridan didn't answer, he looked at Margaret with puzzled eyes, "Your Highness?"

Margaret smiled and said, "It's nothing. I don't have any playmates before the social ball. I'm afraid that no one will talk to me at the ball in a few days. I just want to ask Miss Judy not to embarrass me alone."

Sheridan said: "You don't have to do this, I'll go back and tell her."

Nina also disagreed, "That's right, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about the ball, there must be many people saying hello to you at that time."

Margaret pushed the box to Sheridan, "Miss Judy will know what I mean after you give it to her."

"By the way, I heard that a lot of interesting things have come to the Zephaniah Auction House recently."

The next day, Margaret smiled at the invitation from Zephaniah's auction house on the table, and she said to Nina, "Nina, dismiss everyone who was present during my sword practice yesterday."

Nina was puzzled: "Your Highness?" That's a quarter of the servants in Jialan Palace!

Margaret's smile restrained, and she said, "I don't want to say something a second time."

"I don't know when Jialan Palace became an intelligence agency."

On this day, Princess Margaret was furious, and the news that nearly a quarter of the servants in Jialan Palace were dismissed spread throughout the palace.

It even caused Chrissy to put down his official duties and come to Jialan Palace to inquire in person.

Marguerite complained a few words coquettishly, and Chrissy also promised that she would let her choose a man for the palace next time.

Because Margaret lost her temper a lot, the remaining servants didn't dare to approach her at all recently, and some people had just been cleared out, so they were less vigilant.

So the night before the dance, no one noticed the figure sneaking out of that Jialan Palace.

Tonight is the opening day of the Zephaniah Auction House, and most of the rare treasures are traded at night, which is a time exclusively for the nobles to squander their money.

Tomorrow is the first social ball in Princess Olivia's life. In order to please the royal family, the bidding tonight is extremely fierce.

After the auction, the lights in front of the Zephaniah Auction House were brightly lit, and the street was filled with exquisite carriages of the nobles. Some people were smiling and seemed to be returning with a full load, while others were dejected and returned empty-handed. .

In this bustling atmosphere, no one knew that another event happened elsewhere in the auction house.

"hiss!"

"Your Highness, are you alright!"

Sheridan lifted Margaret up, and Margaret's arms felt dull pain, and her palms were gradually soaked in blood.

"You hurt Your Highness!"

Sheridan also saw the blood on Margaret's hand, and he said, "Excuse me, I'll bandage it for you."

Sheridan carefully separated the cuffs with a knife and helped Margaret bandage them.

Margaret said: "It's okay, it's just a small cut." She hid in time and didn't get cut too deeply. As a doctor, she knew that as long as the wound was treated properly, it would not be a big problem.

She admitted that she was careless this time, but she didn't expect the other party to be so bold as to hurt someone with a knife.

She kicked the person lying on the ground. The assailant was tied up, his head was covered with a cloth bag, and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth. The whole person crawled on the ground like a worm.

Margaret knelt down and whispered: "You have to know who you have offended this time. If you don't obediently explain everything clearly, no one can save you from the crime of violating the royal family."

As soon as her words landed, the person on the ground stopped moving, and then he seemed to be terrified, trembling all over, and finally lost control of himself.

Margaret stayed away from him in disgust, Sheridan had already healed her wound, he worriedly said: "Your Highness, you are more important than anyone else, don't use yourself as a bait next time .”

Margaret said: "If it wasn't for me, no one would sanction him. He should be interrogated carefully, and the information should be hidden tightly so that it does not leak out." .

"I will explain the situation to Uncle Chrissy after he pleads guilty."

Sheridan said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everyone who came today can be trusted."

"Send me back first, before Nina finds out that I'm not in Jialan Palace."

Margaret looked to the overflowing lights of another street, and she stood in the dark.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning poured into the house, a few early birds fell on the windows.

Olivia's only princess, Margaret Wells' first social ball, kicked off.
