Moreover, after her father's death, her ascension to the throne was marked by immediately expelling Ralph Carter, who was her father's most trusted confidant, from the palace, and planning to have Kuhn open the royal tomb. All of this was quite suspicious.
Eli pondered, how could a person change so much?
She even began to doubt whether the woman before her was really the same elder sister from before.
Bella Sutton looked at the cheerful Polly, who called her 'Queen Sister,' and the calm-faced Eli, and suddenly issued a regal order: "Kneel!"
Polly was startled and pouted in a coquettish manner, "Queen Sister…"
Before Polly could finish her words, Bella Sutton, with the demeanor of a queen, reiterated the command: "Kneel."
Polly didn't understand why her sister suddenly wanted her and Eli to kneel, but she still followed the etiquette and knelt down with a thud.
Eli's eyes were filled with more suspicion.
She didn't say much and also prepared to kneel like Polly.
