Gates was opened for her. protocol got pass-thru they reached to palace and nurse helped Julia and went inside with her Julia called the butler and maid`s they all were surprised they started the conversation with Julia.

Julia asked for her mother-in-law butler to show him the way. they went into a room her mother in law was sick for a long Julia meets her with kisses and apologized for not visiting her

No problem my daughter I have a lot of maid`s and butlers I am living like a queen no I am a queen

Yes you are your highness

Then She said that I know you married last week but I'm happy for you how is your husband where is he and what happened with your leg

She said sadly that her husband was shot by someone and told her the whole story

Her mother asks with fear in her eyes. Do you know who killed my son? is the murderer caught?

Julia said no there was no evidence of that murderer but this time I know he is none other than one of your relatives who was keeping his eye`s on our activities he is so sharp but he will be arrested soon and I also think your life is in danger too.

So you have to tell me about your relatives do you remember anyone?

Well my daughter my husband has no siblings and no relatives. I have some cousins but some came here to work for me in this palace and some are far away they died and now their children are working here.

Do you mean to say your relatives are working here? Julia asked!

Yes, my cousin`s children are in this palace but I don't remember any of them. I remember one of them she called her butler and asked her do you remember any of my relatives working here?

Madam your 3 relatives are gone last month but two of them are still here one of them is my sister and the other one is standing in front of you my sister is in the kitchen right now do I call her?

Julia and her mother-in-law looking strangely at the butler

Wow, you never tried to tell us that you are her family why? Julia asked

Butler answered!

When I was a child I came here with my mom my mom told me that there is a difference between us. They are rich and we are poor so never make them feel like you are here for their Richie's. Just work for food and to fill the empty belly never betray them so I focused on my work and also teaches my little sister to do so. but the other`s never think like us they started broke the priceless things without seeing by anyone and gave a lot of damage to the property. One day I caught them and talked to the manager he told me to show the evidence so I somehow managed to collect the evidence and showed it to the manager and manager fired them and kicked them out from the palace last month and they didn't return.

Julia stood up and keep her hand on the butler's shoulder and asked his name.

Butler looked into her eyes and cried he said I was a butler here for 45 year`s no one ever asked my name.

My name is jack. Jack the butler jack. Jack is my name and cried.

Everyone in this room had tears some people cried also.

Julia was so emotional she hugs jack and felt sorry for him.

What is your age now?

Butler answered with respect. I am 56 years old right after your wedding I came here with my mom I was 11 years old when I first entered this palace

Then the queen told him you are the manager from now. And never tell my age to anyone otherwise you'll be fired you understand?

And call your sister she will be my secretary also and bring the other 3 to me they will also be a part of this family and bring me some tea go and do your job now.

Jack smiled with so much happiness and went from there to bring the tea.

Julia was also happy with her mother-in-law`s decisions. She went close to her mother-in-law and asked silently what was your age mom when you married?

She said I was 25 when I got married by why are you asking this? Oh, you rascal you know I can't fire you.

Julia laughed and the atmosphere of this room was changed everyone was enjoying and queen throws the party right now with the maid, butlers, manager, security everyone was called there even the police also started to party everyone was inside the palace in the first time of this palace history.

Food drinks all was there for them all

the queen was watching this all and said, Julia

I never saw this much happiness in my life this all is because of you how can I thank you. Now I can pass away with no fear I can sleep deep now cause this palace needs a queen like you please take the responsibility of this palace and free me from this it's been a long time I didn't sleep well because of these responsibilities.

Julia said! No no no you have a lot to do you are not going anywhere I need you they all need you. And I am not free and not be able to do your job being a queen is .......

She saw her mother in law her head was bleeding Julia was crying and asking for help.

Someone shot her. suddenly the party was stopped and security runs toward the queen they saw her dead police arrived and saw queen dead they grabbed Julia and went inside the house everybody was in shock running around from fear security guards started patrolling in the whole area they didn't saw any one running no other evidence was found after protecting Julia police took the queen`s body inside and started investigation they saw the injury and realizes that it's a shot from sniper may be the same sniper killed the queen who tried to murder Julia or maybe he missed the shot again.

Julia was shocked and asked. Is that the same killer

Police answered. Maybe but we are not sure but the bullet direction is far it was just 2 inches inside her head so maybe he missed the shot he was trying to kill you and in this case you have to tell us the truth there is something wrong in your life something you have done but not telling to anyone please tell us why somebody wants to kill you?

Julia said sadly crying. I don't know what is wrong with you there was nothing more in my life I can hide there is nothing to hide I loved David, David is dead after 16 years I loved Steve he is in a coma and shot by some bastard I tried to save my mother and she is also dead and in front of my eyes what have I done I don't know I don't know and she faltered and fall into the ground.

In the hospital Steve was out of a coma his father was there for him they reunite his father tried to ask him but the doctor warned him he is just revived but still in danger when he regains his strength you can ask him any thin give him some more rest.

Steve father Mr. Burton control`s his emotion`s and calmed he kissed Steve forehead and said I am always here for you my son

In the palace police took the queen`s body in the same ambulance and sent it to the hospital for forensic investigation Julia was in the care of palace guards and with her maid`s and butler`s

Queen`s body came to the hospital in police custody when police went behind the body Mr. burton asked him that who`s body is this?

The policeman was also one of his student`s he saluted Mr. burton and told him the whole story

Mr. Burton asked him that he wants to investigate this case because her daughter-in-law is involved in it.

Policeman! Ok, sir come with me.

Mr. burton followed the officer and investigated the body he saw the injury and told the investigation doctor to remove some hair close to the injury doctor followed his instructions and removed some hair`s then Mr. burton told them to go behind I'll continue from here thanks for your cooperation.

The doctor saw his face strangely policeman told them don't mind please do as he says he is the head from now on.

Mr. Burton then saw the injury area with a magnifying glass and saw it closely then he asked for the surgical knife and did a deep cut he then saw the bullet clearly and removed the bullet he was looking at the bullet and recognizing something then he told them that this bullet is shot from the sniper. And started to tell the details

5.56×45mm NATO

.223 Remington

.243 Winchester

7mm-08

7.62×51mm NATO

.308 Winchester

.376 Steyr

Steyr Scout sniper riffle

Manufactured Mmmmm yeah. Steyr Arms is a firearms manufacturer based in Sankt Peter in der Au, Austria. Originally part of Steyr-Daimler-Puch, it became independent when the conglomerate was broken up in 1989. Before 1 January 2019, the company was named Steyr Mannlicher AG. Austria 1997 old model

Someone who shot it from this rifle is a well-trained soldier but definitely, he can easily miss the target in long-range and I'm now sure that he missed the shot because no one in the army can suggest this weapon cause of his Inaccuracy.

So he is an old soldier too maybe you know you know what to do go to the military base near you and ask for this weapon and tell him that you want it I'm sure they going to give it on rent for hunting wild animals and ask about the soldier who rented this from you in last week and I want all this in detail you understand?

Policeman and doctor make a loud clap for him and the policeman runs outside to fulfill the order

After this Mr. Burton received a call from the police station

Hello Mr. Burton how are you?

I am fine who am I talking with

Hahaha, laugh heard on phone.

Mr. Burton asked again hello are you going to laugh for the rest of the day.

No man no I'm your old friend deputy remember me?

Oh my goodness are you back?

Yes man listen I know you are interrupting our work but I can allow you because if you are there. There is a guarantee that the killer is now dead and tell me about Steve how is he now is he out of the coma?

Yeah brother he is fine now and will regain his strength soon and I am coming to meet you tomorrow at the old place if u are not too old and remember our place.

Hahahaha I am not that old man I am coming tomorrow at 12 pm

On 12 ok 12:01, I will not stay there for you

Deal man

Deal

Mr. Burton put his phone in his pocket and said the doctor to show the bullets that were founded in Steve's body

The doctor now knows that he is talking with a real man so they started following orders too they ran toward the evidence room and collected the bullets.

The doctor came to Mr. Burton and said your son wants to talk

Mr. Burton was shocked at that time and went to meet his son

Steve was waiting for his father he looked at Steve and hugged him and kissed him like any other father and his eyes was full of tears and finally, he listens to his son`s voice

Dad, how are you?

I'm fine my son I'm fine

Dad, I got married. And showed his wedding ring to his dad

Yes my boy I know

Dad, I am a man now.

His dad smiled and said yes you are a man now

Dad someone shot me.

Don't worry my son I will kill him

Dad when I was shot I saw a man far from me he was watching me and Julia

Steve`s dad looked strangely towards Steve and asked. Do you mean to say when you were shot from behind you looked at someone staring at you from far in front of you?

David shakes his head and said. Yes dad there were two of them. And started screaming and his breath goes up and down so the doctor started to treat him and asked Mr. Burton to leave for now he talked too much and suggested he please give him some more rest.

Mr. Burton was looking at him from outside he was fine after some minutes and sleeps again.

The doctor came out and said everything is fine now you can go and do some rest

Mr. Burton thanked the doctor and the investigator doctor arrived at Mr. Burton and gave him the bullet`s

Mr. Burton went to investigate the bullets again inside the forensic room and started checking the billet`s again one by one.

And saw the difference between these two bullets one from the head of the palace queen and the other 5 bullet`s from David and his car was The 7.62×54mmR is a rimmed rifle cartridge developed by the Russian Empire and introduced as a service cartridge in 1891. Originally designed for the bolt-action Mosin–Nagant rifle, it was used during the late tsarist era and throughout the Soviet period to the present day

Dragunov sniper rifles old model of 1958 what the fuck is happening here? Mr. Burton said

These rifles are rare and can't be found easily the person who owns this stuff is very rich and saw the body and suddenly he realized that the body of a queen can answer this but she is dead so now who is going to answer my question?
