Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Rebecca gritted her teeth and finally admitted:

"That's right, the doctor was requested for Miss Celitia. Madam, you should know that the young miss has always been in poor health. If this continues, she definitely won't be able to hold on!"

"Whether Celitia can hold on or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Lady Herbert said hatefully, "When she laid hands on Olar, did she think about whether her poor brother could hold on?"

Mentioning Olar and thinking of her son's miserable state, Lady Herbert became even more furious.

She took two steps forward, planning to personally grab those two "doctors."

Seeing this, Rebecca hurriedly blocked Lady Herbert's path desperately.

"Madam! You can't do this. The master has already agreed to request a doctor for Miss Celitia!"

"Using Charles to pressure me?"

Lady Herbert laughed in extreme anger.

"Fine then, let's go before Charles. If he really agreed, then let him release that little bitch!

"Poor Olar is still lying in bed unable to move! Let's see if Charles dares to do such a thing!!"

Knowing that words alone couldn't stop Lady Herbert, Rebecca threw caution to the wind and simply lunged at her, tightly hugging Lady Herbert's waist.

"You go quickly! When you're treating her, lock the cell door first!"

"How dare you!" Lady Herbert shrieked. "Let go of me, do you hear me!!"

She struggled frantically, her elbow striking hard against Rebecca's head.

Rebecca felt dizzy and seeing stars from the pain, but still gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

"Enough!"

Sophia had been listening for a long time and felt a surge of anger rising from her heart straight to the top of her head.

She hadn't interrupted at first only because she hadn't figured out the situation yet.

After listening to the conversation between Lady Herbert and Rebecca for a while, Sophia roughly guessed what had happened.

She yanked off the concealing headscarf, revealing her golden hair in large waves, and turned around proudly.

"Good evening, Lady Aloque." Sophia sneered coldly. "Such behavior is really unbecoming of noble grace."

Seeing the face of the girl before her clearly, Lady Herbert's eyes suddenly widened, hardly daring to believe:

"Princess Sophia?!"

Then the person beside her must be...

The slightly taller woman beside the girl gently removed her headscarf and also turned around.

"Your Majesty Queen Marianne?!" Lady Herbert's voice rose even higher. "You... why are you and Your Highness the Princess here??"

Her Majesty the Queen and Her Highness the Princess?

Even Rebecca, who was still hugging Lady Herbert, was stunned. She dazedly let go and looked back at Sophia and Marianne in disbelief.

"You... you're actually..." Rebecca felt even more dizzy.

What had she been doing in front of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Highness the Princess?!

Treating Her Majesty the Queen as a doctor, leading them running all the way home, and making such a commotion here...

Rebecca felt like hanging herself from a tree.

"What?"

Gidi was completely confused, thinking she might have heard wrong. "Rebecca, aren't these the doctor ladies you found?"

How did they become Her Majesty the Queen and Her Highness the Princess??

Rebecca returned a terrified look: "I... I... I don't know either..."

Sophia had claimed to be Celitia's friend, but who could have imagined that the young miss's friend would actually be the Princess?

Moreover, when the doctor at the medical hall wasn't there, the Queen had even voluntarily stated that she was a doctor and was willing to treat Celitia.

Even if Rebecca had the boldest imagination, she couldn't have guessed this development.

"Don't be nervous, this isn't your problem," Sophia smiled at the two. "We indeed didn't reveal our identities earlier."

Hearing Sophia say this, Rebecca and Gidi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Sophia was Celitia's friend, did that mean the young miss could be saved?

Hope suddenly rose in both their hearts.

Sure enough, Sophia's expression darkened as she raised her chin and stared at Lady Herbert with obvious displeasure.

"Lady Aloque, I've just heard and roughly understood what happened. You knew Celitia was ill, yet you locked her in a dungeon and deliberately prevented others from requesting a doctor for her."

The girl's voice grew increasingly cold as she sternly rebuked: "Even if she's your family's daughter, you can't deliberately abuse someone like this—according to kingdom law, such things are explicitly prohibited!"

"Then why don't you ask what caused this incident?"

Lady Herbert was unconvinced and shrilly retorted.

"That little bitch broke Olar's hand and knocked him unconscious with a wooden stick! My poor Olar, what did he do wrong to deserve such treatment?"

"Broke Olar's hand and knocked him unconscious?"

Sophia felt extremely incredulous for a moment.

Sophia knew how weak Celitia's body was.

And Olar was also somewhat famous in noble circles—hot-tempered, strong as an ox, and crude and rude.

Quite a few nobles disliked him, which was why Duke Augustus had deliberately not invited Olar.

That Celitia could actually bring down such an Olar was no wonder Sophia was surprised.

"Could you have gotten something wrong?" Sophia couldn't help asking.

"Of course not! There were several people present at the time, and they all saw it, including that maid behind you!"

Lady Herbert pointed at Gidi. "If you don't believe it, ask her whether it was Celitia who did it!"

All eyes on the scene immediately focused on Gidi.

Gidi breathed nervously, her mind completely blank.

Marianne, who was closest to her, gently patted Gidi's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be nervous. Just tell us truthfully what you saw at the time."

Soothed by Marianne's gentle voice, Gidi took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "It was indeed Celitia who injured Young Master Olar..."

Before Gidi finished speaking, Lady Herbert was already shrieking:

"You hear! It was Celitia who injured Olar like that. We're only temporarily confining her—what's wrong with that!!"

"But—!"

Gidi's voice suddenly rose sharply, and from that small body, tremendous strength suddenly exploded.

"Miss Celitia did that to protect Luna and to protect herself!!"

Gidi closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling continuously, and shouted out in one breath:

"At that time, Young Master Olar had people pin Luna against a pillar and was going to beat her with a wooden stick. Miss Celitia got into conflict with the young master to stop him! Young Master Olar was going to beat Miss Celitia together with Luna. The young miss had no choice but to resist, so she snatched the wooden stick from the young master's hand and knocked him unconscious!"

After shouting out everything she wanted to say in one breath, Gidi opened her eyes. Seeing Rebecca's shocked expression and Lady Herbert's angry face, she felt her heart pounding non-stop in her chest.
