All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 495 Let’s Gegin

Catherine and withal had just finished their meal when the palace attendant hurriedly entered the hall,

looking nervous.

“Doctor, please move to another palace. Withal put down his fork and looked up at the palace

attendant. “Why would you want our doctor to change places? Are you planning to dispose of him once

he’s served his purpose?”

Hearing this, the palace attendant quickly explained. After all, he couldn’t afford to offend Catherine.

The entire royal family was counting on her to save them. If he angered her, the king might have him

killed.

“Withal, you’ve misunderstood. There’s been a fire in the queen’s palace, and the guards are doing

their best to put it out. Your palace is closer to the queen’s, so for your safety and the doctor’s, please

follow me and leave!”

Withal turned to Catherine, waiting for her decision. Catherine stood up, stretched her neck, and

relaxed her body.

“Let’s go and take a look,” she said. Since Catherine wanted to go, the palace attendant dared not stop

her. He had no choice but to follow behind.

From a distance, Catherine saw black smoke billowing from the queen’s palace. The royal guards were

actively fighting the fire, and many servants were spectating.

“Well, the doctor managed to treat the princes’ illness, but then the queen’s palace caught fire. Maybe

the curse is taking effect!”

“Yeah, it must be. Haven’t you heard about it? The queen’s family has witches who are skilled in

powerful magic!”

“The curse of the queen must be real!”

“Yeah, that’s right!”

After hearing these discussions from the servants, the palace attendant’s face turned dark. “How could

they openly discuss these palace secrets?” he said inwardly. “Do these people not care about their

lives?”

He quickly approached and drove the people away.

Noticing Catherine and the others staring at him, the palace attendant felt extremely awkward.

“I apologize for these unruly servants. They lack manners and have embarrassed you, Doctor,” he said.

Catherine glanced at him and sneered.” The curse of your queen seems to be quite effective!”

Upon hearing this, the attendant’s face immediately changed.

“Doctor, it’s not like that. Some matters cannot be talked about, truly!”

Seeing his anxious and flustered appearance, Catherine couldn’t help but smile.

“This old man is quite interesting,” she thought. Then, she said, “It was just a casual remark. Why are

you taking it so seriously?”

It was true that Catherine had made a casual comment. However, if her words reached the king’s ears,

the king would definitely have the attendant chopped up. It was natural for the attendant to be afraid.

Catherine noticed that Branden suddenly answered a phone call. She took a step forward and

approached him. Seeing Catherine approaching, Branden put down his phone and looked up at her.

“Harry has disappeared!”

The call was from Paxton, who was responsible for guarding Harry in the estate. Every half an hour, he

would personally check on Harry.

Just a few minutes ago, he discovered that Harry was not in the room, mysteriously gone. He

immediately informed Branden.

Upon hearing this news, Catherine wasn’t surprised. A faint smile crossed her cold eyes, and then she

glanced at Withal.

“Let’s begin.”

“Understood!”

Withal couldn’t hide his excitement on his face. After being restrained for so many days, it was finally

his turn to take action. He reached out and grabbed the palace attendant by the neck, capturing him.

Terrified, the palace attendant’s face turned pale, and he quickly begged for mercy. “Mr. Withal, what

are you doing?”

“Nothing much. Just taking you to have a chat with your king!” Withal said as he pulled the palace

attendant away.

After the two left, Catherine, feeling a bit bored, turned to Branden beside her and said, “I heard there’s

a sacred spring in the palace that only members of the royal family have the chance to enjoy. Shall we

go take a look?”

Branden nodded without surprise. ” Yeah, let’s go!”

Initially, when the first king of Ravenloth fell ill, a prophet guided him to find a spring. After drinking from

it, his illness disappeared. Later, the king declared this spring as Ravenloth’s sacred spring, reserved

only for male members of the royal family.

Catherine arrived at the entrance of the sacred spring, entering the passage leading to it. Several

guards were stationed there, indicating tight security.

When they tried to enter, the guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.

“This is the location of the sacred spring. Outsiders are not allowed inside without the king’s

permission. Please leave!”

Catherine boldly approached, completely ignoring the guard’s words.

One of the guards attempted to stop her, but Catherine glanced at him, causing him to freeze in his

tracks.

In a cold and domineering tone, Catherine said, “Go and ask your king if it’s his order that I can go

wherever I want in this palace!”

For the convenience of Catherine’s research, the king personally ordered that the entire palace

cooperate with her, allowing her to come and go wherever she pleased freely.

The guard was stunned by Catherine’s words. The other guard beside them reacted quickly. He

stepped forward and grabbed the other guard, whispering, “Be a little smarter, will you? This is Dr.

Sugar, a distinguished guest of the king.” After saying this, he emphasized, “The one who stood against

Queen Lina!”

With just a simple sentence, the latter immediately understood Catherine’s distinguished identity. He

looked at Catherine again, now filled with admiration and fear in his eyes.

Catherine diverted her attention from them and walked straight toward the sacred spring.

This time, the guards dared not stop her and her companion. After all, they couldn’t afford to offend

someone. Even Queen Lina couldn’t afford to offend.

The so-called sacred spring was nothing more than a spring flowing through the cracks in the

mountains. However, it was decorated extravagantly, with numerous jewelry and golden artifacts visible

at a glance.

Every single item here was a priceless treasure. Whether they were members of the royal family or

ordinary wealthy people, they considered it the ultimate honor to offer their own treasures to the sacred

spring.

The treasures here wouldn’t be stolen, not only because of the strict guards, but also because the

people of Ravenloth had unwavering faith. In their opinion, the sacred spring was inviolable, and

anyone who defiled it would be punished.

This kind of punishment would not only befall the individual but also bring destruction to the entire

family. No one dared to commit such a heinous act!

After taking a look around, Catherine suddenly looked up at Branden.

There was a strange glint in his sharp eyes. Catherine nodded slightly at him, an unspoken

understanding passing between them.

Catherine didn’t like beating around the bush. She was always decisive in her actions. After finding a

spot to sit down, she leisurely spoke to the air.

“I’ve come all this way. Aren’t you willing to show yourself?”
