Everyone Mocked The Girl The Prince Chose… Until Her Secret Exposed The Entire Royal Family

Chapter 4: The Betrayal From The Person She Trusted

Isabella had faced insults before.

She had been laughed at.

She had been judged.

But nothing hurt as much as being betrayed by someone she trusted.

When the royal guards found the stolen documents inside her room, the entire palace turned against her.

The same people who once questioned her appearance now questioned her loyalty.

The royal council demanded that Isabella be removed immediately.

They claimed she entered the palace with a hidden plan.

They claimed she wanted revenge for what happened to her mother.

But Isabella knew the truth.

Someone wanted her silent.

Someone was afraid she would uncover what happened twenty years ago.

Prince Adrian wanted to believe her.

More than anyone, he knew Isabella was not capable of betrayal.

But the evidence was carefully arranged.

The documents were found in her room.

Her mother’s old letters were missing.

And the person who discovered everything was someone nobody suspected.

Elena.

Isabella’s childhood friend.

When Isabella saw Elena standing beside the guards, her heart broke.

“Elena…”

Her voice was filled with disbelief.

“You knew about my mother.”

Elena looked away.

For a moment, Isabella hoped she would deny it.

She hoped her friend would say this was a misunderstanding.

But Elena remained silent.

That silence hurt more than any accusation.

“Why?” Isabella whispered.

Elena finally looked at her.

“Because you always had something I never had.”

Isabella frowned.

“What are you talking about?”

“People loved you.”

“You were kind, and everyone trusted you.”

Elena’s eyes filled with jealousy.

“I spent my whole life standing beside you while everyone noticed you.”

Isabella couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“You were my sister.”

“No,” Elena replied.

“I was always the person behind you.”

The betrayal was painful.

Not because Elena was an enemy.

But because Isabella had never seen her as one.

Meanwhile, Prince Adrian was under pressure from the royal council.

They demanded that he end his connection with Isabella.

“If you continue protecting her, people will question your judgment as future king.”

Adrian refused.

But he also knew someone was trying to create a war inside the palace.

He needed time.

And time was something Isabella did not have.

That evening, Adrian secretly met Isabella.

“I know you didn’t do this.”

Isabella looked at him.

“But you cannot prove it.”

Adrian remained silent.

Because she was right.

The enemy had planned everything perfectly.

Before leaving, Adrian gave Isabella a small key.

“My mother left this before she died.”

Isabella looked surprised.

“Why are you giving it to me?”

“Because I believe your mother was protecting this secret for a reason.”

The key opened a hidden room beneath the old palace library.

Inside, Isabella discovered something shocking.

A hidden journal.

Written by her mother.

She quickly opened the first page.

But before she could read the full message, she heard footsteps behind her.

Someone had followed her.

The door closed.

And a voice came from the darkness.

“You should have stopped searching years ago.”
