Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Living in Your Heart (23)

In order to refuse the marriage, Marcus Hayes honestly admitted that he had a girlfriend of more than two years, and she was already pregnant.

But it did not stop the union. Diana Doll did not mind, after all, men were like this, and he would have more wives and children in the future.

But she miscalculated. Marcus Hayes III only married the two of them and only favored Tia Bailey, not even touching her, which she could not tolerate.

On one hand, she used her family’s strong power to exert pressure and interference on Marcus Hayes III’s authority, on the other hand, she constantly made things difficult for Tia Bailey.

During Marcus Hayes III’s reign, several brothers coveted the throne, putting his throne in great jeopardy, and he had no choice but to seek the support of the Diana Doll family. Diana Doll demanded a child in exchange, and he agreed.

Upon learning that the Queen was pregnant, Tia Bailey was heartbroken.

When she asked him if he had shifted his affections, he offered no explanation, leading to a long cold war between the two.

Later, Queen Diana Doll frequently framed Tia Bailey for having affairs with her subordinates, increasing the rift between them. Even Marcus Hayes III, to prevent Diana Doll from going mad, deliberately distanced himself from Tia Bailey. To protect her, he even sent Tia Bailey to live in Aerion.

Yet it still couldn’t stop Diana Doll’s determination to want Tia Bailey dead.

She was resolved to eliminate her rival for the sake of preparing her son to ascend to the throne in the future.

She had always been very worried about Tia Bailey getting pregnant again and bearing another son. Given Marcus Hayes III’s level of affection for Tia Bailey, it was truly uncertain who would inherit the throne.

In another attempt, she happened to encounter Seraphine visiting Tia Bailey, and in a moment of crisis, Seraphine held Tia Bailey in her arms and shielded her from a poisoned arrow.

Centuries ago, Gill also died for her, but there was no evidence to prove it was under Diana Doll’s orders.

Even if Tia Bailey personally heard from Diana Doll’s mouth the words, ’The one who should die is not Seraphine, but you, and next time there won’t be anyone to take an arrow for you.’

Even if Marcus Hayes III at the time also knew it was the Queen’s doing, it was because there was no evidence, coupled with the Queen’s powerful family background, he could not punish the Queen in any way.

It could be said that this incident was the last straw that made Tia Bailey give up on Marcus Hayes III completely.

From the age of 19 to 29, in the 10 years they were together, she endured countless grievances, and Seraphine’s death for her threw Tia Bailey into a state of mental collapse and deepened her depression. Finally, she leapt from the high tower at the age of only 29, ending her short life. Her only words left were: [May we never again know and love each other for all eternity.]

At the end of the letter, it detailed everything he did after losing her.

He spent seven years bringing down the Diana Doll family’s clan, secretly nurturing his daughter Nephele Hayes, and personally placed her on the throne of Country A as queen.

Marcus Hayes was the third Pharaoh of Country A’s Thirteen Dynasty, making Queen Nephele Hayes the fourth Pharaoh.

Diana Doll never imagined that he would go this far, killing every opponent and even sending someone to assassinate their youngest son, all to ensure that his daughter could ascend rightfully.

This was a matter that led Diana Doll to complete despair.

He did not kill her, but let her live a life worse than death.

Elliot Gill was dumbfounded after reading, "Did you really kill Cole Barton?"

Cole Barton was the son of Marcus Hayes III and Diana Doll.

There is nothing more accurate than confirming with the person involved.

"He poisoned my drink first, I merely returned the favor," Jacob Green’s aura changed completely after merging with that soul, "He wanted to usurp power, how could I give him the opportunity?"

"But this kind of information must not spread," said Elliot Gill, burning the letters.

Lucy Eaton thought of seeing in the A country’s unofficial history last year that during the period before Marcus Hayes III’s death, he had become a tyrannical ruler. Nephele Hayes became the first female Pharaoh in Country A’s history due to him killing many people.

In Country A’s history, no Pharaoh had ever loved his daughter as he did.

Although Lucy Eaton was one of the involved parties, she was clearly aware that the explanation was simply liking someone by association.

Re-sealing the coffin tightly.

His gaze fell on the sarcophagus beside it.

Presumably, the person inside is Queen Diana Doll.

After all, only a queen is qualified to be buried alongside a pharaoh.

Lucy ensured a faint smile appeared; a sky that would spare no one three hundred years ago for bullying her?

She wanted to see what Diana Doll looked like.

The three of them worked together to open her coffin, and similarly, the mummy was face-up, very well-preserved, just like Marcus Hayes.

Diana Doll wasn’t short; even after several centuries, her features still appeared to be quite striking.

In life, she forced herself to be his wife, and in death, she forced herself to be buried with him, even setting up an array on his sarcophagus.

If she had no knowledge that Tia Bailey was herself from centuries ago, she would not have dared to disturb the dead who had slumbered for centuries.

But now, sorry about that.

No, she could not!

"Burn her mummy,"

"Grind her bones to dust," Elliot Gill said venomously, "Had it not been for that vile woman, I wouldn’t have died from a poisoned arrow."

He put on rubber gloves and dragged Diana Doll’s body out of the sarcophagus like a dead dog.

Only then did they see there was also a letter beneath her.

This letter was very different from Marcus Hayes III’s letter.

It was written to future archaeologists.

She anticipated the day she would be discovered by later generations.

The letter introduced herself comprehensively and described many fictitious events, claiming how inept and unreasonable Marcus Hayes III was to her, and labeled Tia Bailey as a woman reincarnated from the devil, branding her as a sinner.

Sadly, this letter would not fall into the hands of archaeologists and was destined never to see the light.

"Why didn’t our daughter relocate the Queen’s sarcophagus from here when she later became Pharaoh? Why didn’t she break the array?"

"There’s only one explanation," Elliot Gill replied, "Naomi didn’t even know where her father’s sarcophagus was."

Jacob Green nodded, "Indeed so, this tomb was meant for myself and you, you were initially buried here, later unbeknownst to how Diana Doll discovered it, I died quite suddenly then and didn’t have the chance to tell Naomi, she certainly buried me in the Imperial Mausoleum. Diana Doll should have been aware of this, even if she were to be buried in the mausoleum with me, Naomi would have removed her, potentially not allowing peace even in death, she must have made secretive arrangements before dying to have my body stolen and interred here with her, while your body is nowhere known."
