DEAR HUSBAND
I didn't kill your mother, no matter how much other people make it seem like I did, please trust , I didn't do it. I love Queen Mother with all my heart and I am deeply angered by what they did to her. I suspect the killer is Ellena and she worked together with our butler Roshan.
??
She was the only one with the motive and she knew about my brother. I left the castle to et so people who claid to have Killian's son.
Ellena is the only one in the capital who knew my brother and can use it to bait . Roshan took to the tavern to et them but later he claid to be at ho with to receive the queen.
Ellena and Roshan are in this together. I am only spared from execution because I am carrying our baby, but once she was born, I might not live for much longer. Therefore I will try to escape by all ans. If Ellena wants to confess to the cri I didn't do, I would do it, in exchange for my life.
But I didn't kill your mother. I want you to believe even if you find my confession stating otherwise. Please, please... you have to punish Roshan and Ellena for your mother's sake... for my sake.
I love you.
PS: I didn't know this before, but I finally realized that Duke and Duchess Bellevar are my mother's relatives. I know them as Grandpa and Grandma Sovie. I am sorry, I didn't know I am related to them.

So of the words in the letter were not clear because it was obvious that Emlyn was crying when she was writing her secret letter. So, her drop of tears fell and blurred so of the words. However, Mars could piece together the ssage properly.
He was so sad and angry at the sa ti. Sad when he thought about his wife and how much she had suffered, angry at Ellena who had made Emlyn suffer.
And Emlyn said she was baited to leave their castle using Killian's son? Emlyn was right when she said Ellena was the only one who knew about Killian to use such information on Emlyn.
She also had the motive since she hated Emlyn and... and she was in love with Mars.
His mind wandered to the mont when Thessalis looked him in the eye and smiled wickedly, as she told him that his mother was dead.
That evil witch dared bla it on Emlyn by saying that Emlyn killed Elara to get her revenge.
Now that he thought about it, Mars thought Emlyn would not kill his mother for revenge. She was very adamant to kill him or his father from the beginning. She wouldn't change her target midway. Not to ntion, Emlyn genuinely loved the queen.
He rembered the night he discovered that Emlyn was a woman. She was determined to kill him at all cost.
She really ca to his castle to kill the crown prince or die trying, even though when given an opportunity to keep her head, she smartly took that option just so she could find ways again to kill him.
Emlyn wouldn't kill Queen Elara. She was wise and blad the right people for the tragedy that befell her family. She knew the queen was innocent on the conquest of Winterre. All bla should be directed at the king and his son, Mars.
Emlyn didn't hate the queen so much that she wanted her dead. Thessalis, on the other hand, hated Queen Elara with all her heart. And unlike Emlyn, Thessalis actually blad Queen Elara for her goddaughter's death.
Thessalis blad Elara as the howrecker, instead of putting the bla solely on Jared Strongmoor who had been unfaithful to his fiancee and caused her to take her own life.
Mars thought the striking difference between Emlyn and Thessalis alone should be enough to direct his suspicions on the witch.
And didn't Ellena live with Thessalis for so many years? Ellena said she was made to kill soone by the witch in exchange for her breaking the curse she cast on Mars.
What if... the person that Ellena had to kill was the queen?
This would make more sense, considering how much Thessalis hated Elara.
Mars closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He had his suspicions on Ellena too, but he didn't have any evidence, because even before she died, Thessalis still put the bla on Emlyn and everyone around them heard it too.
If only Roshan was still alive, Mars might be able to force him to talk and testified against Ellena. Since Ellena was Duke Preston's daughter, even as the king, Mars couldn't just accuse Ellena of a cri without witnesses or evidence.
The duke would make it an excuse to call Mars an unfit king. In all honesty, Mars couldn't care less about his kingdom and his people now, but he had to think about what would happen to his daughter if the duke would usurp power.
It was best to tread carefully.
Now, after he read directly what Emlyn had to say about the case, Mars was convinced that Ellena and Thessalis were really the actual killer and mastermind.
He must punish Ellena, as per Emlyn's request. In order to do it, he had to find evidence. He must make Ellena confess to her cri, no matter what it took.
The young king opened his eyes slowly and his sight was fixed on the letter in his hands.
"I am so, sorry for not being a better husband," he whispered as if Emly was standing right next to him and could hear him. "I will make sure Ellena pays for what she did to you..."
He carefully rolled the letter and inserted it inside the book again and brought it with him to his personal chamber. This precious letter was the last letter he had from his beloved wife. He would make sure to store it sowhere safe.
Mars pulled himself together and washed up. Then he went to Greenan's house to pick up his daughter.

And that's how Mars ended up in the Greenan's ho and then invited them to tea the next day.
