Tried of being used.

Benedict was very easy to coax, after all, she had feelings for Ramsey, and she had always wanted the things that belonged to her cousin. she had never thought of becoming the queen, but after her conversation with the princess the last time, she had been looking forward to it and was unwilling to lose Ramsey, so she would rather hear all the sweet things he had to say.

So when she came out of the carriage, she was filled with smiles. The Coachman was waiting outside the carriage when she returned.

"My lady," the coachman bowed.

Benedict gave him a small bag, "I hope you would leave this out of your report to father later," Benedict said. The coachman felt the bag in his hands. He was not very favoured in the general's Residence. It could be said that he had the same fate as the young lady; if he had become loyal to her, his days might not be bad.

" I will be loyal to the young lady," he bowed and opened the carriage door for her. Benedict was delighted with his response. She felt more confident with her decision.

She had not thought about the coachman telling on her; it was Ramsey that reminded her and gave her a few silver coins to pay for his silence. General Daiz has never given her money. Everything she needed was always provided for her. Her mother did not have much and could only give her a small allowance.

She could not even buy things that she wanted; now, with Ramsey's support, he might be able to live more comfortably.

The coachman returned to his seat and opened the small bag; when he saw the shining silver coins, he was delighted. For a small worker like him, he was paid bronze coins and never knew he would one day own a few silver coins. He started his carriage feeling very satisfied.

When they arrived at the Palace, the gate was closed, and a guard was standing outside. "Opened the gates," Benedict had no choice but to step out of the carriage.

"You are?" the guards at the door had changed, so he did not recognise the lady before him.

"My name is Benedict Teit, daughter of General Teit," Benedict did not feel offered she answered the question. After all, she had already learned that the security of the Palace was tight.

"Lady Benedict, I would advise you to go back; her highness is not receiving any guest for the time been," The guard was very respectful. He did not know Benedict, but he had heard about her excellent relationship with the princess, so he did not dare to offend them.

"The princess does not want to see me?" Benedict was shocked. Although Ramsey could also not see the princess, she thought that the two of them had been friends since childhood, and she did not expect to be treated the same way.

"The princess would not see anyone; she is currently morning the king," The guard replied. He did not know if the princess did not want to see her only friend. He was only instructed not to let anyone in during the next four days. He was afraid that could cost his tongue.

"Send a message to the princess for me," Benedict said.

"I would love to, lady Benedict, but the princess is not seeing anyone for the time being. How can your message be delivered?" the guard had a helpless look. He felt that he was standing on pins. After all, he did not dare disobey or send a message in for her.

Benedict stood for a few minutes, but the guard did not say anything. She entered the carriage and asked the driver to the side. She did not dare return to the house so soon. She knew she could not get in, but she was not bothered. Luckily, they were a few snacks in the carriage. She could only eat them.

After waiting in vain for half a day, she asked the coachman to return after giving him some instructions. The coachman agreed, it was evening, and the sun was about to set when they left. The journey was smooth, it was already getting dark when Benedict returned to the house.

General Daiz and the rest of the family were already home and seemed to be waiting for her at the welcoming hall. Her elder brother was seated next to his father.

"Father, Mother, Elder brother," She greeted them. Even if she had just been sitting in the carriage all day, she looked tired.

"How is the princess," her father ignored her greeting. Only her mother had nodded in response to her greeting. Her elder brother looked at her coldly. It was clear that, like the general, he was only interested in hearing the news from the Palace.

"The princess refused to see me," Benedict bowed her head. She could tell that her father's gaze had knives. If looks could kill, she would have been chopped to pieces.

"Useless thing, you cannot accomplish even the smallest task given to you. I don't know why I waste food and money on you," General Daiz was angry. He would have thrown it at her if he were holding anything.

Benedict bit her lips. "The princess even refused to see her lover General Ramsey; she has entered seclusion to mourn the king," Benedict's voice was low, but she could tell that her father heard her. She had already planned to tell him the information she had gotten from Ramsey. After all, this was what he cared about.

" Excuses, " Robin, her brother, was angry. To him, this was an excellent chance to become a king, and now that the princess was shutting them down without even a chance to fight, he was agitated.

"Although I could not see the princess, I managed to gather some information, using the little connection I built in the Palace," Benedict said, not waiting for her father to react.

"Speak," General Daiz said. He could not get any information from the Palace, so he was anxious.

"The Palace is cleaning up spies, they are not held captive, but anyone caught has been killed, and their bodies burn to aches," Benedict said. Ramsey stayed in the Palace late into the night so he knew this and had used it to make her forget h
