The Princess of Blood and Time

Verinia Hellfryne has had to do many things to get her way. She’s scheming, manipulative and ruthless! But how could anyone suspect their benevolent First Princess, who has taken on the burden of a substitute queen and raised her three siblings since she was eight years old? It’s unfathomable! But then, when her father brings to the palace his illegitimate son and the son’s mother, she meets her match! How can she face a woman who is as scheming and vicious as she is? How can she prevent her father from giving the throne to his bastard son instead of the legitimate heir? Verinia knows that she must fight to get what she wants, but an unforeseen scheme from the wicked concubine brings a new variable to distort her problems! “You’re a wicked woman, Your Sovereign Highness. Fortunately, I don’t like to play clean.” All her life, Verinia has vowed not to be swayed by men, but this scoundrel is just too smooth! “I’m a married woman!” He smiled. “I’m the prince’s proxy in this wedding. Treat me as such until he returns!” Secrets and schemes, blood and power turn into one big blur to distract from a chilling evil that lurks under the surface. An evil that could destroy the world.

Dava, Day 21 (7)

As for the matter of killing and replacing a cleaning maid, this made sense. A servant of such a low rank wouldn't be questioned about anything important and mostly overlooked. It was the easiest rank to infiltrate. 

"Where did you find the corpse?" 

Sur Ka'iser hesitated. The hand that gripped his sword hilt out of habit tightened even more. "Behind the pavilion near the swan lake." 

Verinia's eyebrows rose. "In my grounds?"

"Yes." 

This also made sense. She was being targeted specifically, but what the Su'Adrit could not reason was whether that corpse was left there as a message for her or out of convenience. 

"What condition was it it?" 

This time, Sur Ka'iser truly looked troubled. "It was a fresh body. It couldn't have been killed earlier than last night." 

Now that did not quite made sense.
