Then again, Lady Melissa and Duke Alphonso would be seated as far away from any of the royal family member's as possible.

And maybe by some miracle or luck, Duchess Ella wouldn't notice the slight hand movements, and if she did she would ignore it.

There was an assassination attempt in the hunting event, or at least there was going to be an assassination attempt in the hunting event.

Maybe, Lady Melissa could hand over the small piece of paper to Duke Alphonso amidst all of the chaos.

She was sure that the others wouldn't notice, since they would be too busy getting away or running away.

Everyone's lives would be in danger, including Lady Melissa's, though the assassin didn't aim for anyone other than the King, so they were all safe.

At least that was how the hunting event had turned out in her previous life, only the King was targeted.

Most of the nobles had ended up panicking seeing the whole assassination attempt, and ran, thinking that they were in danger.

While other nobles who were calm were trying to calm down the nobles who were panicking.

Though that didn't really work as most of the nobles were panicking, and when people saw the majority of people ( if that made sense) doing something then they would follow as well.

And in that case, the majority of people were panicking, so others followed as well.

Maybe the assassination attempt would happen this time too, but she wasn't so sure of it.

This was the first major event that was supposed to happen in her previous life, and if this happened then Lady Melissa could assume most of the major events would happen in this life as well.

News articles would be going on for days about this incident- wondering just which nobles would dare to even send an assassin after the King.

Though this wasn't the King's first assassination attempt that he had experienced, neither would it be his last.

The public had expected the King to die by an assassination attempt because of the numerous times he received assassination attempts.

And even many nobles had suspected the King would die because of that reason, it was as if there was a never-ending list of people who wanted the King dead.

And Lady Melissa was sure that that very list would include some of the royal family members, after all most of them hated each other.

The royal family was a place where only the fittest would survive, and that would mean using the dirtiest tricks on each other.

it was sad that they had to betray each other for their father's affection, but it was the nature of the royal family.

Nobody could be weak in the royal family, and if someone was weak, then they would be forced into eventually being strong, or else they would be looked down upon.

The King had many affairs when he was younger, and he did that to have many sons, and that he made it into some sort of competition.

The son who was the strongest, and fittest, out of the other sons would be the next King.

There were no daughters at all in the royal family, as the King mostly looked down upon women, Duchess Ella being the only exception.

He treated her with respect, knowing the effort and hard work she had put into, and because of her, his opinions on women opened a bit.

However, he still looked down upon them, but he looked less down upon them compared to other nobles, who couldn't even accept the fact that Duchess Ella was a magnificent guard.

She got to where she was right now because of the hard work and dedication she had put into her job.

The daughters that the King had would usually end up in an orphanage if they were lucky.

Or, they would usually end up in the streets, having to fend for themselves even when they were only a baby.

It was cruel, and the reason why the King had even done this was that he thought of women to be weak, and useless, compared to men.

His opinions on women had changed ever since Duchess Ella had worked for him, but nonetheless, he still saw women below men.

The sons would have a competition, and they would be fighting amongst each other, only till one son was left remaining.

Although news of this competition happening was never revealed to the public, the public knew as the sons would disappear, one by one, every now and then.

The Crown Prince had ended up winning the competition, hence why he became the next King.

Though if they were following how it usually would go, then the Crown Prince would be the King as well since he was the oldest of all his siblings, and that was his advantage.

A number of the King's sons had already been eliminated, and by eliminated it meant as if they were dead.

All of the King's sons were allowed to harm each other, and that only the last one standing would be able to be the King.

There was only one rule for all of them to follow, no harming anyone who isn't a part of it, which included the employees.

Making a team was allowed, but most of the King's sons didn't do that, believing that if they had done so then one of them would turn their back on the other.

Or, that all of them would turn their back on each other.

It was survival of the fittest, and Lady Melissa found out about it as she had connected the dots, and that it was a rumour spread amongst the public.

However, the rumour quickly disappeared, as it was shut down as soon as it had appeared.

It was something that had always been in the back of Lady Melissa's mind though for some reason, and she connected the dots with some of the royal family member's slip-ups and information she knew from the Crown Prince.

Although the Crown Prince would often lie to her, not everything he told her was a lie.
