Chapter 410
Just the thought of it made Morwen tremble uncontrollably. If the princess recognized me, what would become of me as the Saintess? In the face of supreme power, everything I had would be meaningless! What did it matter to be a Saintess? Ultimately, I was still just an enslaved person beneath the royal family!"
Moreover, during the turmoil thirteen years ago, when the princess stepped forward to calm the subjects, Morwen had intended to end her life with a vase. However, all she managed to do was injure the princess, causing her to bleed profusely.
At that moment, a servant risked everything to rush in and save the five-year-old princess, taking her away along with the Treasure Box, and they both vanished without a trace from that day forward.
Morwen had once sent people to relentlessly hunt the princess down, convinced she would not survive. Reports from her subordinates confirmed that the princess, who had escaped amidst the chaos, was as good as dead.
Finally, at ease, Morwen ascended to great heights within the Azure Sea Royal Family, earning a status that led others to regard her as half a princess.
But now, the
was back ating nightmare loomed before her. Morwen thought about why the princess had returned and why she
was back again. She trembled all over, uncertain if it was fear or anger coursing through her.
The two maids nearby quickly wrapped her in a blanket and asked with concern, "Miss Xanthus, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" "Did you just see her?" she asked
"Who?" The maid asked, puzzled. "Are you talking about the young lady from the Kelley family? I saw her, but is something wrong?"Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought, "Why did Miss Kelley's arrival leave the usually composed Miss Xanthus so shaken?"
Morwen paused, momentarily taken aback. She remembered the face so clearly-even after thirteen years-because she had served the princess for several years. That familiarity meant she could recognize it instantly.
Besides, no matter how many years had passed or how much a person's appearance might change, that striking elegance in her expression had only grown more captivating over time. It was an innate, unreplicable nobility that radiated from deep within.
Yet to others, even if the once radiant princess stood before them, they wouldn't recognize her. They were neither familiar with her nor truly knew her. After thirteen years, the delicate five-year-old had blossomed into an eighteen-year-old with striking beauty. Unless they were close family, it would be surprising if anyone else could recognize her.
But that very statement had struck her. Morwen was taken aback. She pondered, "That's right, the princess of the Azure Sea Royal Family, the sole heir to the throne; how could she end up as the Kelley family's daughter in Lovell City?
'Is it just a coincidence? Or are they two people who look remarkably alike, and I've made a mistake?"
Morwen snapped out of shock and immediately ordered her subordinates, "Investigate Miss Kelley. I want a complete record of her life, from childhood to now!"
"Yes, Miss Xanthus!"
As she finished giving her orders, the car stopped before a Eukiman villa in the hills, just five miles from Royal Bay. Surrounded by mountains, the scenery was breathtaking. Morwen took a glance around, feeling somewhat pleased. It was the place she had arranged to be purchased before her

arrival.
The Azure Sea Royal Family was renowned for its collection of rare plants and herbs. In terms of wealth, it was the only entity capable of maintaining an equal footing with Richard.
However, in terms of influence, the Azure Sea Royal Family had withdrawn from the world for many years and was still in disarray after the previous internal conflict, making them somewhat inferior to Richard, who was all-powerful. Nevertheless, as the revered Saintess of the Azure Sea Royal Family, she was the most suitable match for Richard in terms of status. A union would make them even stronger if no one got in the way. Morwen's eyes
darkened slightly.
Shortly after she took her seat, one of her subordinates brought the documents and placed them in front of her. "Miss Xanthus, everything you asked me to investigate is here."
Tiffany was undoubtedly a figure of interest in Lovell City. Initially known for her relentless pursuit of her foolish fiancé, she later transformed into the city's most beautiful woman and was famously proposed to by Richard as the adopted daughter of the Kelley family. These facts were no longer secrets, making the investigation relatively straightforward.
Morwen read through the information line by line, her heart sinking further. The records on Tiffany were indeed very detailed, but there were no photographs of her from before the age of five, which felt a bit too convenient with a gap of five years.
According to the Kelleys themselves, Tiffany was their birth daughter, but she had not been raised with them until she was five years old. At that time, the Kelley family's business was still in its early stages, so no one paid much attention. However, the recent recognition banquet held by the Kelley family on the cruise raised questions about Tiffany's identity, and the identification report indicated that she was not Kelley's biological child.
Based on this reasoning, it could be inferred that the Kelleys officially adopted Tiffany as their biological daughter when she was five. It meant that Tiffany was, in fact, the missing princess of the Azure Sea Royal Family, and the answer became clear Morwen's face turned pale. A five-year-old child could remember many things, including the vase she had shattered and the crime of attempting to assassinate a royal princess
She thought, 'Did Tiffany Kelley remember it all?' The file slipped from her hands and scattered on the floor as Morwen's eyes grew v
Vacant.
Just then, she received a video call from the king Morwen quickly composed herself and answered, wearing a faint smile as she respectfully greeted, "Your Majesty."
On the other end of the video call, the king responded. His hair was gray; although his spirit remained strong. on his face and the weariness in his brow indicated his advanced age. the wrinkles
After coughing for a moment, he spoke in a commanding voice and asked, "Since you have arrived in Lovell City, have you heard anything about the princess?"
Morwen respectfully bowed and replied, "No." She had not heard anything, nor had she seen anything. She would ensure this possibility was reduced to zero even if there were any leads
Having received no results over the years, the king's expression turned to a familiar numbness upon hearing her response; disappointment etched on his face. He said nothing more and ended the video call
Morwen heaved a sigh of relief. Then she turned to the maids and subordinates she had brought with her and warned. Today, I ordered an investigation into that girl from the Kelley family. This information must not be shared with anyone. Do you understand?" The maids and subordinates nodded in agreement, replying, "Understood!" They were in Lovell City, and as the esteemed
Saintess, Morwen held the highest status there. Whatever she said, her subordinates had no choice but to obey
After the order, Morwen settled back onto the sofa. The king was advanced in age and likely couldn't hold his position for much longer. Because of this, the entire Azure Sea Royal Family had become increasingly frantic in their search for the missing princess, as everyone eagerly awaited her return to the throne.
At that moment, she could not let her efforts go to waste. After a long moment of contemplation, Morwen finally made up her mind. "Someone,
