Chapter 902
Carme’s face changed, and her eyebrows furrowed.
“What do you want to say?”
Joy gathered her courage. This was herst attempt to test Carme. She had been with Carme
since she was 18 years old. It was difficult to sever the many years of bond.
Despite her loyalty to Carme, thetter did not have the same deep feelings for her.
“Your Majesty…” Joy said in a low voice, “It’s about my son’s schooling.”
Carme’s expression was a little impatient. “Didn’t I already arrange it for you?”
“Your Majesty!” Joy looked up at her. “That school is not good! The students fight, and the teachers
don’t do their job. The whole school is a mess, and one can’t learn anything there!”
“But that school is the only one that doesn’t require a birth registration,” Carme emphasized. “Joy,
your son’s illegitimate. You can’t even resolve his birth registration issue, so how can he attend a public
school?”
Joy was stunned. She looked at Carme’s slightly disdainful expression and suddenly felt that her
decades of loyalty seemed like aplete joke.
Birth registration issue?
As a maid by the queen’s side, who would believe it if she said that she could not even solve her child’s
birth registration issue?

This was something that Carme could solve with just a few words. The process would not even take
five minutes. Yet, Carme just would not do it.
Perhaps Joy’s significance in Carme’s heart was not enough to make Carme speak up for her.
Joy remembered when she was in Melorian and asked Cordelia the same question.
“My son’s illegitimate and has no birth registration, so he can’t attend a good public school. But the cost
of a private school is too expensive, and I can’t afford it.”
Cordelia’s answer was: “Don’t worry. I’ll get it done for you.”
Joy thought she was just saying it for the sake of it, but she received a call from the principal of the best
public school in Southeast Aciatic three dayster.
…
“Why are you in a daze?” Carme’s stern voice brought Joy back to reality.
She smiled and lowered her head to cover up her slightly red eyes.
“Joy, I know you’re not very satisfied with my approach.” Carme looked at her with superiority. “But
this is the best I can do.
“You’re only a servant. How could I plead to a school principal for you? And your child’s illegitimate. It’s
shameful, to begin with!”
“Your Majesty!” Joy’s voice trembled. “What about illegitimate birth? Don’t they… deserve to live in this
world or have a good education?”
“Illegitimate children only bring disgust and be a stumbling block for others!” Once Carme
thought of Aurelia’s existence, she could not help but lose control.
“Alright, this is the end of the matter! You better not do anything in my name. If I find out, you will suffer,
and your son will taste the same medicine too!”
Joy felt her heart go cold and chills run down her hands and feet. She had done a lot of things for
Carme before. She thought it was loyalty, but in reality, it was an abomination… She sneered. Her
last attempt at probing Carme had failed, and it was time for her to make a choice that was worthy of
her conscience.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Joy bowed respectfully. “I understand.”
Carme nced at her and sneered. This maid of hers had been serving her for more than 20 years,
cautious and submissive, always careful and meek. This was the reason her father had chosen Joy to
serve her—no matter how she bullied her, she would never resist!
“Alright, you may leave now.” Carme closed her eyes. “Pay attention to the whereabouts of those two
people, and don’t let any information leak!”
“Yes.” Joy quietly left the room.
The moon was frosty as ever. She could not help but shiver even on this summer night.
“Joy, why did you take so long in there?”
Joy heard Suzanne’s voice from behind her. She forced a smile, dejectioncing her gaze.
Suzanne had been with her for a long time and could tell from a single nce what was weighing on
her mind.
“You’re stressing over your son again?”
“No.” Joy shook her head. “Things have been taken care of. He’ll soon be transferred to the best public
elementary school.”
“The best public elementary school?” Suzanne eximed excitedly. “The best in Southeast Aciatic,
huh? Heh, Her Majesty’s finallye around and is willing to help you?”Books Chapters Are Daily

“Not Her Majesty.” Joy looked at her and hesitated for a long time before saying, “It’s the Irwin heiress.”
There was a spark in Suzanne’s eyes. The two of them looked at each other and tacitly lowered their
heads.
“So, we both made the same choice?” Suzanne smiled wryly. “Sigh, who would’ve thought that the
person we’ve been serving loyally for so many years would be no match to an outsider…
“Joy, I know that the Irwin heiress is actually buying us off with her offer, but I’m willing to be bought off
by her. At least my brother’s illness can be cured! Besides, what Her Majesty and Princess Victoria are
doing is… really horrible!”
“Shh, keep your voice down!” Joy reminded her urgently.
Some things were better left unsaid, and some things were best done quietly.
“I’ve decided to tell the truth at the trial.” Suzanne looked into Joy’s eyes. “What about you, Joy?”
“Do you think I’ll let my son go back to that environment where all they do is fight?”
They smiled at each other and looked up at the night sky and the moonlight. The moon was bright, but
there were still shadows that it could not reach. One could not live in the dark forever, could they?
…
When Alexander appeared in the west pce again, the guards at the door were curious about the tall
and strong-looking maid beside him. It was mainly because the maid was too eye-catching. The prince
was always low profile, and with someone like this around him now, it felt…
Neil only removed his pink wig when they went to the garden at the back and red at Alexander.
Before he could blow up, Alexander pulled Aurelia over as his shield.
“Uh, Aurelia, I have something to tell youing here today!”
Aurelia’s face was red from holding back herugh. It took a long time before she could ask, “What is
it?”
“It’s about the court trial,” Alexander said softly. “Mr. Irwin will be tried next month. You’ll receive a court
summon as a witness.”
