NovelStartChapter 1664 Misjudgment
Claire walked steadily out of the palace gates. As expected, she immediately saw Jolie and Catherine not far away.
The two women were still standing in the sspot as before, unabashedly gazing at her face, probably observing the situation
here the whole time.
Claire did not hesitate in her steps or show any surprise. She strode forward calmly, as she had to return to the king's palace.
Just as she was thinking about how to handle it if Catherine suspected her again and gave her trouble, Jolie shifted her gaze to
Catherine's face and said softly, "Your Majesty, she was only in there for four minutes. It seems she really just met with Prince Louis
to deliver the tea leaves."
Even old friends wouldn't chat for just four minutes.
Catherine nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the approaching girl. "Perhaps | was overthinking. She and Louis don't even know
each other."

Jolie believed this view as well.
"Let's go," Catherine didn't want an awkward encounter. She strode towards a nearby stone path.
"Aren't you going to see the king?" Jolie quickly caught up and reminded her of the purpose of this trip.
"lI won't go for now. | need to prepare to welcMr. Marsh." Catherine had no intention of seeing the king.
She simply wanted to see Claire and observe her condition.
The sudden arrangement of an Arab doctor into the royal family, plus a translator, felt a bit off the more she thought about it.
But now after seeing Claire, she didn't seem abnormal at all.
Since she was Ivan's sister, it was best not to be suspicious and unconditionally believe for once.
Men who thrive in the business world generally dote on their sisters a lot.
Catherine swore she must cling to Ivan, this big tree!
With his partial support, Taylor's ascension to the throne would be just around the corner.
The king's health had deteriorated so much. Even the capable royal doctor said that ten Arab doctors wouldn't help.
Louis now appeared to pose no threat either. Other than gardening, Catherine didn't know what else he could do. He hadn't even
drawn his uncle to his side. She knew he had only secretly met Arthur once, and those two were just childhood playmates.
Plus Arthur had no military power, so he posed no threat either.
The usually intelligent Catherine had let down her guard against Louis.
She planned to cater to Ivan's preferences. She had just obtained sinformation about him, including his hobbies, eating habits,
and favorite leisure sport.
In Louis' palace after Claire left, he went upstairs holding the tea tin.
He locked the door after entering the room.

Gently placing the tin on the table with sutensils, he removed the lid and found shandkerchiefs over the tea leaves as
expected.
Rowan quickly took them out and saw they contained food samples, clearly taken from the dining table since the last ones were
from the kitchen.
Rowan was very happy. The research on the previous samples would yield results soon. With the research methods from before,
progress could be accelerated again.
As he took out the handkerchiefs, he inadvertently glanced out the window and saw Taylor with a smile on his face, his arm around
Claire's shoulders as they strode towards the king's palace...
Rowan stared blankly for a moment, his deep eyes full of many emotions...
His slightly tired face suddenly becsolemn and serious.
Downstairs not far away.
Claire instinctively brushed Taylor's hand off her shoulder and deliberately kept her distance, her gaze conveying many unspoken
words, "Please don't touch me, okay?"
