Derila was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses, "Why???"
She didn't understand at all, why would the old king do this?
It was time to deal with the poisoning of William's Castle, a prince along with eighty-
three people under his command.
How did this come to be about her?
And to keep her in the castle for six months without being allowed to leave?
"I was confused then too." William's brow furrowed in concentration, "I repeatedly
affirmed that you were a person who was not bound and that you were capable of not
being bound.
Even later I said quite bluntly that not only are you a great healer, but you have many
out-of-this-world skills, and that you have even saved the lives of many great people. If
anything happened to you, those people would not sit idly by. But none of that was
enough to convince the old king and he insisted on it anyway, not only threatening me
with this thorough investigation into the poisoning, but also saying even more
outrageous things."
"What did he say?" Derila pursued.
William's brow was furrowed and he looked very hard, "He said that if I didn't agree, he
would get my cousins to do the job."
"Get them to come and put me under house arrest? Heh, do they have that ability?"
Derila was so angry that she gritted her teeth —
"That old thing, when I said those words at that time, I saw that he looked a bit guilty, so
I thought he had already thought things through and repented, and would investigate
the matter thoroughly and give you justice. I didn't expect that he had other plans!!!"
"I thought that too." William smiled bitterly, "I was the one who was naive."
"No." Derila was still puzzled, "Why did the king keep me in Danontand? For what
purpose exactly?"
"At first I didn't understand either, but then by trying, I got the answer." William frowned
and said, "Probably someone approached him for cooperation and asked him to keep
you behind and keep you from seeing Mr.Lierger."
"Who was it?" Derila hurriedly pursued, "Could it be Penny?"
"I don't think so, the Pakison family doesn't have that kind of ability." William
speculated, "From what I know of the old king, that person, should have equal status to
him, or extremely high interest to work with him."
"Can't figure it out, " Derila was extremely bored with these things and didn't want to
think about it much at all, "but why would the other side do that? What good does it do
him to not let me leave Danontand or see Daemon?"
"I don't know exactly." William sighed, "I really shouldn't have involved you in this, it was
only about the poisoning of my castle and now it has actually turned into an attempt to
put you under house arrest. I'm afraid that if we continue to circle the wagons, things will
get more and more complicated. I have thought about it for a long time, but I have
decided to tell you the truth, so you should hurry up and leave before they take action
and are on any alert."
With these words, William called out to the outside, "Someone…"
"Wait a minute." Derila immediately stopped him, "What will you do if I leave? What
about these people in the castle? I can't just leave them to die."
"It's not your responsibility to see us alive or dead." William said calmly, "I will find a way
to save them, if I can't, I will use public opinion to create pressure to force the old king to
hire a doctor to save them. In the worst case, I will not pursue the poisoning matter this
time, as long as the king will agree to save the people."
"William, why are you always so cowardly?" Derila was instantly furious, "You think
they will let you go if you don't pursue the poisoning? They are putting you to death.
And hiring some doctor to save you, now your people can't even buy medicine outside,
if I leave, you will all die here soon, do you know that?"
