Conspiracy Against Your Character

The Conspiracy Against Your Character, was a conspiracy designed to kick Your Character out of the Noble Court and out of the running for King "Liam"'s hand in marriage.

Prelude
In Book 1, Chapter 14, the door to Your Character's room was left open, Your Character was busy changing and in her underwear when Tariq came in the room and started blabbing on about how Your Character had made a very forward gesture and how he didn't expect things to pick up so quickly as he explains his feelings to the MC. Your Character confused just stands there while Tariq leans in for a kiss but she steps away. Drake then hearing a scream, comes to Your Character's room and fights Tariq in what would appear as an unsuccessful attempt at rape (in Drake's eyes). The two stop fighting, Tariq explains himself and then gets told off by Your Character and Drake in what would appear to be the end of that saga.

Later on, at the end of Chapter 18, at the Coronation, Your Character received a letter delivered by Bertrand. The letter said "Lady (Your Name), The Prince will never be yours, and you will never be queen. Leave court now." In Chapter 19, Your Character tells Bertrand that Olivia also got a note like that, Bertrand concludes that either, whoever sent the letters to Olivia and Your Character might want Madeleine to win since the three of them are the favorite for it OR, Madeleine might also be a victim of this attack. At the end of the chapter, you are escorted out of the Palace by Bastien and his guards as a article of you and Tariq is run in the news, creating a political scandal.

Investigation
In Book 2, Your Character and her friends start investigating the case. In Chapter 3, Your Character interrogates the maid of the manor for what happened that night. She explains that one of the noble ladies asked to do a practical joke on friends because they were desperately in love with each other. They give Tariq the same room as Your Character and this is how they met there. In Chapter 4, they investigate the Manor where this all started and find out that the photographer was waiting for the shot from one tree, which gives a good shot. There they also find a picture of the photographer. A premium choice in Chapter 5, it is revealed that Maxwell was taking pictures of Your Character with Drake, Liam, and Tariq for Liam's Bachelor Party in New York. Bertrand sold them behind his back to the tabloids because he and most of the nobles firstly thought Your Character wouldn't stand a week in the palace and because the Beaumont's has finance problems. In Chapter 6 in the international party, Your Character and Maxwell are planning a trap for the photographer that photographed Your Character with Tariq. They make a big scene where she takes a shot and they notice her. She realizes that they are after her and starts running. Eventually, they catch her. She reveals that she was paid to take the picture and shows the digital copy of the receipt from the bank transfer. Maxwell gives it to Bertrand, who is able to read the last four digits of the credit card number that was used for the payment. They don't know who it belongs to, but from the information from the maid, they know it has to be one of the nobles. For their luck, all of them will be gathered tonight for Madeleine's bachelorette party. In Chapter 7, they go together for dress shopping for the occasion where Your Character has the opportunity to see some of the cards. In the same Chapter is the bachelorette party where are also opportunities to see credit card numbers. All of the credit cards seems legit. After the end of the party, they get a taxi, which Penelope has to pay for. She forgot her credit card at the dress shop but has a second one for emergencies. She doesn't know how to pay, so she hands it over to Your Character to see that is a match. In Chapter 8, there is Parisian charity fashion show where all nobles are gathered again. Throughout the chapter, you get opportunities to gather Penelope's trust. If you gather enough trust, she will reveal you that she knew she won't be chosen by Liam but wanted to stay in court and was offered to stay as a lady-in-waiting regardless who Liam chose as long as she helped Bastien in the scheme against Your Character. If you don't succeed in gathering enough trust, she will reveal that to Hana. In Chapter 9, Drake and Your Character interrogate Bastien, but he doesn't give answers. He just lets out that it isn't personal and he was ordered to do it. Drake realizes there are only two people who he could actually obey to: the former king and queen. In Chapter 11 Your Character interrogates the former queen. She reveals that Bastien isn't one of her guards. He is one of the former king's guards. In Chapter 12, Your Character and Liam start interrogating the former king but he loses his breathing and passes out. In the hospital, he reveals that he has lung cancer and that he was behind the conspiracy against your character.
