Chapter 498 The Truth
Catherine and Withal stood as bystanders, watching the power struggle with cold eyes.
Withal had brought a te of fruits and ced it in front of Catherine. ” Catherine, have some fruit
before watching the show.”
This power struggle might not end anytime soon.
Catherine appreciated Withal’s thoughtful service. Under the influence of Queen Lina, the king
disyed his dissatisfaction towards Hayden.
“Hayden, no matter the reason, it cannot justify you persecuting the royal family and tarnishing the

sacred spring.
“Hmph!” Hayden snorted disdainfully, his face full of contempt. “Even if I destroy this country due to my
vengeance for my mother’s death and my hatred for my brother, what does it matter? Father, have you
forgotten how our ancestors established Ravenloth?”
The first king of Ravenloth had also suffered persecution from a tyrant, which led to the establishment
of Ravenloth that continued until now.
Nevertheless, the king expressed his discontent towards Hayden’s actions.
“Hayden, perhaps these are just misunderstandings. Although Lina has a temper, she wouldn’t do such
things.”
When Lina heard the king’s trust in her, her face was filled with pride. ”
That’s right. How could I possibly do such a thing?”
After she finished speaking, Hayden eximed, “What if I have evidence?”
Both the king and Queen Lina were taken aback.
Hayden took out his phone and yed a video for Queen Lina. “Do you think you can get away with
what you did? Look at who this is.”
The man in the video was Queen Lina’s younger brother. He revealed everything about how Queen
Lina had harmed Prince Toby and tampered with Prince Abbott’s car.
A sh of panic crossed Queen Lina’s face, but she quickly regained herposure and stared at
Hayden with a vicious gaze.
“You captured my brother? You are so ruthless!”
After saying that, she pleaded with the king once again. “Your Majesty, he treated my brother so cruelly.
Under torture, my brother would say anything. To save his own life, my brother had no choice but to
betray me.
Hayden had long known Queen Lina’s venomous nature, so he knew how despicable she was. He was
well aware that he couldn’t easily expose himself without a foolproof n.
“Queen Lina, what is this?” Hayden eximed.
In the following videos, there was surveince footage of Queen Lina secretly poisoning the queen’s
medicine and removing her oxygen tube.
It was all because of Queen Lina’s suspicious attitude. She trusted no one. The more important the
matter, the more she liked to handle it herself.
Seeing these videos, Queen Lina could no longer control her emotions. She began to tremble
uncontrobly.
She never expected that after all these years, Hayden had so much evidence in his hands.
Hayden presented the evidence to the members of the royal family.
“Everyone, this is the evidence of Queen Lina’s plot to murder the queen. It is irrefutable.”
Enraged, Queen Lina rushed forward, trying to snatch Hayden’s phone, shouting fiercely, “You can
even get stic surgery to look like Harry. Who knows if you would find someone to imitate my
appearance and frame me on purpose? You bastard, tell me, why did you do this to me? Just to
be the heir to the throne? You’re so cruel. You would go to any lengths to persecute everyone just
to be the crown prince!”
The onlookers always saw more clearly than those involved.
The members of the royal family, who had suffered unjustly, now turned their anger towards Hayden,
believing him to be the culprit.
However, Catherine and the other bystanders saw through Queen Lina’s conspiracy. Her methods
were cunning enough to incite conflict. By diverting everyone’s attention to Hayden, who was caught
poisoning, she made them overlook the truth of her plot to harm the queen.
Catherine, who had been silently observing, saw the change in the king’s attitude and suddenly spoke
up.
“Your Majesty, the poison used by Hayden was extremely peculiar as if it was specifically designed
based on the gic traits of the royal family members. All I can do is suppress the toxicity, but to
Catherine casually made up a story,pletely overturning the situation Queen Lina had worked so
hard to create.
As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the royal family immediately changed their
expressions.
Catherine was not a Ravenloth person, and she couldn’t serve Ravenloth her whole life.
Most importantly, no one wanted to have an illness for no reason, especially one that couldst a
lifetime.
Instantly, the agitated members of the royal family started challenging the king, urging him to resolve
the problem as soon as possible.
Queen Lina’s eyes were almost spitting fire as she looked at Catherine. She wished she could kill
Catherine on the spot. Unfortunately, she had no way to deal with Catherine, not even a chance to
touch her.
Hayden understood what Catherine meant. Although he didn’t know why Catherine was helping him,
he was immensely grateful inwardly.
Hayden looked up at the king with a serious and calm expression. “Your Majesty, it is an undeniable
fact that Lina plotted to murder the queen. As long as you are willing to send Lina to trial and make her
face thew, I am willing to provide the antidote to save the members of the royal family. After the
recovery of the royal family members, I will apologize andmit suicide in front of the sacred spring.”
Hayden left himself no way out now. He had worked so hard for one purpose, which was to kill Lina and
make everyone know how despicable she was.
This decision shocked Lina and everyone present.
No one expected Hayden’s hatred to be so intense.
Queen Lina stared at Hayden, her anger turning into a mockingugh. “Hah, Hayden, are you really
willing to die like this? Don’t you want to be the crown prince? You must be lying. Spit it out,
Hayden, and tell us your true purpose.”
“Humph…” Faced with Queen Lina’s anger, Hayden became even moreposed. He stared at
Queen Lina intently, gritting his teeth as he said slowly, “I… want… you… dead!”
After warning Queen Lina, Hayden left the final decision to the king.
“Your Majesty, you can choose to favor your favorite concubine as you have done before, or you can
even kill me right now. It doesn’t matter. With so many members of the royal family apanying me
in Hell, I can consider it a win.”
The king had yet to speak up, but the members of the royal family couldn’t keepposed anymore.
No one wanted to die, and some even stepped forward, turning their anger towards Queen Lina.
“Your Majesty, Queen Lina killed the queen, and the evidence is solid. She should be punished!”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Kill Queen Lina and save the royal family!”
