The servants smiled secretly as they watched their Prince and Princess walk into their home like a happily married couple.
Leo and Andrea were holding hand, she giggled as Leo whispered something in her ear. It was the sweetest and most perfect scene they had ever come across. Though they did not wish to interrupt the couple they had to.
One of the servants walked to Leo and informed him of a visitor, "Prince, Mr. Jason is waiting for you in your study."
Leo nodded and left to meet the guest.
Andrea also left to her room as she remembered that Her Highness had given her a file before her exam to look over the file when she is done with her exam. It was a proposal for a mining project which was going to built-in City D.
Andrea flipped the pages. The project was handled by King Stephen and Stanley Phillips. Andrea recalled meeting Mr. Phillips in City D after her coronation. Her Highness didn't have anything nice to say about him, so she was skeptical about giving her approval for this project. However, King Stephen was also a part of this venture so it can't be such a bad idea, she thought. She closed the file without reading further. She was more interested in what was going on in the study between Leo and Jason.

In the study
"Yes, Jason, what did you find out? Give me some good news." Leo said happily to Jason who was comfortable sitting on the couch while rubbing his both hands. Leo sat beside him.
"Leo, that black car which tried to run you off the road, belongs to Mr. Arthur," Jason said.
Leo raised his eyebrow, "I don't think I know Arthur."
"I also don't know who is he. He says that at the time of your accident, he was out of town, his nephew Kevin was using the vehicle in his absence." Jason said as he walked to the window.
"And?" Leo was confused that why someone who doesn't even know him wanted to kill him.
"Kevin has a 2 crore gambling debt. My men brought him in, at first he wasn't talking, we roughed him up. He said someone approached him, offered to pay off his debt if he derailed you."
"Find him, Jason, I want to know who wants me dead."
"It'll take time Leo... Kevin said he spoke to the guy on the phone, so we don't have any other description of that person except his name," Jason said while looking at the beautiful garden.
"What's his name?"
Jason saw the reflection of Andrea in the mirror, who was standing at the door, he turned his face, "His name is Robinson."
"Who's Robinson?" asked Andrea; interrupting their conversation.
Leo looked at her and answered, "Nobody for you to worry about, Princess."
"Princess, I think you know Jason, so I don't think he needs any introduction," She nodded and greeted Jason, who greeted her back.
"He is my best friend, I trust him very much, he is the most loyal person I know. If ever you need anything which you cant do, and if I'm not around...you can ask Jason. Okay?"
"Hmmm..." Andrea was about to ask something about Robinson but Jason said, "Leo, I have one more news for you."
"Princess, can you excuse us?" Leo didn't want Andrea to worry about him.
"Sure," she said with a smile and left.
"Leo, you remember Oliver?
"Yeah, he used to work with you."
"Yup, he went missing just after Damien's death. We all thought that he went back to his hometown for his sister's marriage. But the truth is...somebody paid him off to vanish." Jason explained.
"What! Who?" Leo asked.
"Princess Becca was paying him to give her all the details of your whereabouts. When you were meeting with Damien, he informed her...that's how she came to know where you were."
After listening to what Jason just said, Leo was boiling with anger, "How did you come to know?"
"I went to the hospital to visit my grandfather, there I met Oliver's parents. They told me that he had met with an accident. I visited him and he confessed everything. Leo Oliver is dead. He breathed his last breath this morning." After saying everything Jason left and Leo dialed Becca's phone number.

Everyone was standing outside the Royal Manor with tear full eyes as the nurse wheeled Becca in a wheel-chair.
Becca was in a catatonic state. Her head was drooped to one side of the wheelchair, cuts on her face were still fresh and her hairs were unevenly cut. Her hands were bound in a straight-jacket.
The doctor accompanied her in the ambulance to the mental asylum.
