Jane Foster's twin sister was defiled and died before her wedding. Amidst her family's crisis, Jane was called to shed her armor and marry in her sister's place, thus becoming the country's queen. The tyrant king's first love was long dead. All the concubines in the harem were merely inferior distractions. The only person he adored was the royal concubine, Lady Helena, who resembled his first love the most. Meanwhile, Jane was nothing like his first love. Everyone thought the tyrant king would get sick of her and have her dethroned sooner or later. As expected, the king and the queen were on the verge of a divorce. However, instead of the queen being on the receiving end of the divorce, it was the king. That very night, the tyrant king tugged at the hem of Jane's dress. "You can leave, but only over my dead body!" The concubines were crying their eyes out while they stopped the tyrant king and called out to Jane, "Your Majesty, please don't leave us. If you must leave, take us with you!"

Seated on the throne, George carefully read through the petition, not missing a single word. After a while, he lifted his gaze to look at Wendy.Jane lowered her gaze to maintain a respectful posture. "I have no idea who brought this petition into the palace or why it was placed inside Lady Rachel's festival gift," she said.Wilhelmina looked at Wendy in surprise. She had informed Wendy that Rachel planned to tamper with Edward's festival gift.It wasn't surprising that Wendy had interfered with the other festival gifts, causing chaos to divert suspicion from herself. That much, Wilhelmina had expected. But the petition–this was beyond her expectations.To place it inside Rachel's gift was truly a ruthless strategy. In this moment, she could only feel relieved that she hadn't made an enemy of Wendy.Though Wilhelmina had realized it much later, she still cooperated seamlessly with Wendy."Your Majesty, if you hadn't ordered us to open our festival gifts, this petition would have

George's command to open the festival gifts left everyone no choice but to comply. Soon, someone discovered the unexpected. "Frostbite ointment! I found an extra box of it!"Rachel's expression shifted subtly. Just as she was about to react, Wilhelmina, who had aligned herself with her, interjected. "Your Majesty, even if something's found, it still doesn't prove the queen–""Lady Wilhelmina, what's that?" Josephine was quick to seize the opportunity, and before anyone could stop her, she opened Wilhelmina's gift and revealed an unsettling discovery. "Ahh! A dead mouse!"Wilhelmina's face turned pale, and the rest of the concubines began to scream in horror."The cakes have been gnawed at! How disgusting!""What is this?" Another voice joined in.Even Dina's gift contained a soldier's belt. Her eyes met Teressa's. "At my age, I would never cause such disorder in the harem!” she said to Teressa. Then she turned to George. “Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"Chaos eru

Looking at the fragrant pouch and handkerchief, Edward's expression changed as he realized that he and the queen had been set up.Robin and Gloria exchanged glances, both filled with confusion.The chamberlain who had knocked over the gift box knew he had done something wrong. He scrambled to clean it up.Nearby, a mischievous child from the royal family ran forward, picked up the handkerchief, and, thinking he knew some words, began to read from it."'Bidding farewell from across the bank, who knows the sorrow of parting? Tears fill your eyes, and tears fill mine. The heart-shaped knot of the silk ribbon remains unmade, while the tide at the river's end has already calmed.'"Dad, this poem is so sorrowful! It doesn't sound related to Autumn festivities at all!"The concubines gasped in shock, looking at each other in bewilderment. This poem expressed the sorrow of hearts that were connected but could not be united. The gift box had been prepared by the queen to be given to Edw

The first to react was Lady Joanna. "Good heavens! Blood!" she screamed.Everyone turned to look.The shard of porcelain in the maid's hand had cut Jane's hand, and beads of blood welled up. The maid grew even more terrified and knelt once again.Lily was furious. "You did that on purpose!" she shouted.On the throne, George's face was ice-cold as he looked at the maid. "Reckless fool. Take her away!"The maid cried for mercy as she was dragged out. Another maid stepped forward to tend to Jane's wound.Jane remained indifferent, as if she hadn't noticed the maid's action.From the side, Robin watched with concern.No one noticed that the maid beside Robin was holding a silver needle. Under the pretense of pouring wine, she aimed at Robin's hand where it was resting on the table. Her movements were so swift that they were nearly impossible to guard against.Robin suddenly felt a sharp sting and instinctively lifted his hand. Seeing a hard-shelled insect on the ground, he assume

At the Morris family's residence in Marvick City, Marissa had arrived.Fortunately, Jane had informed them in time, allowing Marissa to make arrangements in advance so that Leia remained unaware of her grandson's untimely passing.Leia laid in bed while holding her daughter-in-law's hand."I'm just an old bag of bones. You didn't have to trouble yourself with such a long journey just to accompany me for the Autumn festivities."Marissa offered a faint smile. "Kennedy misses you too. We haven't been back in three years. Please forgive us.""Loyalty to the king and service to the country–every member of the Morris family should be like this. By the way, how is Stanley? He fought against Romenia this time. Was he injured?"Leia was deeply concerned about her grandson, her eyes filled with urgency, afraid of hearing bad news.Marissa, of course, only shared the good and withheld the bad."Stanley has already come of age," Leia said afterwards. "As his parents, you should start thin

Rumors were everywhere, but Jane paid no heed. As she focused on preparing for the Autumn Feast, she was also planning her departure from the palace.If it were just her alone, she could simply leave. But now, she had to consider the Foster family. If she left without a trace, the Foster family would surely suffer.The safest method was to fake her own death and slip away unnoticed. That way, neither the Foster family nor George would come looking for her. She would have no lingering worries.However, she was in perfect health. If she were to suddenly drop dead, it would undoubtedly raise suspicion. Thus, timing was crucial. She had to wait for the right moment."The king has arrived!"Jane immediately composed herself and rose to greet him.George entered Zen Palace. Noticing the dark circles under her eyes, he knew Wendy hadn't been sleeping well these past few days. Indeed, she had been exhausting herself over the Autumn Feast.Little did he know, her efforts were not for th

Jane remained unshaken in the face of the palace rumors. After all, this was not the first time she had experienced such things. More important than handling the rumors was identifying their source.Teressa's sudden request for Edward to attend the Autumn Feast was already a calculated move. However, it was unlikely that Teressa was the true mastermind behind it.Jane lifted her gaze and looked outside, her expression composed and unreadable.-At Nimble Palace, Wilhelmina carefully examined the Autumn Feast's banquet list, her focus unwavering.Her maid, however, was filled with concern."Your Highness, if not for the opportunity you created for the queen and Edward to meet, the rumors would not have spread so quickly. I fear that Her Majesty may suspect you," Mia said.Helena's exile had already proven that the queen was not to be trifled with. She truly feared her mistress might meet a similar fate.Wilhelmina scoffed dismissively. "And what if she does? Those rumors have no

The deposed crown prince, Edward, was dressed in a simple blue robe. He stood out starkly against the opulent gilded palace, like a wisp of dust beside an ethereal peak.He stood outside Serene Palace, presumably waiting for Dina to summon him.The weather was less than favorable today. Dark clouds loomed, casting somber shadows over him. A strong wind lifted the hem of his robe and billowed into his wide sleeves, making the patches on them all the more conspicuous.Lily gazed at Edward with a complex expression. In her memory, he had been a man of unparalleled dignity, yet now...Jane noticed Lily was distracted. That Lily could recognize Edward from just a side profile piqued Jane's curiosity, but she chose not to ask. Instead, she continued walking forward indifferently.Lily, however, grew nervous and lowered her voice in warning."Your Majesty, that is the deposed–""I know." Jane's tone was calm as she cast her a warning glance. If even she hesitated to approach, others wo

The deposed crown prince had once plotted to harm his brother and had been demoted to a commoner by the late king. According to protocol, he shouldn't be allowed to attend the Autumn Feast.At first, Teressa was completely opposed to Rachel's suggestion.Rachel, calm and gentle, with an air of compassion, seemed to possess the ability to resolve all grudges and disputes. She offered her advice."Your Majesty, you once told me that the king said, 'Better to have one son than to have a hundred fighting sons.' Your Majesty worries about this, so I share your concern as my own."I thought perhaps we could use the deposed crown prince to rekindle the king's brotherly feelings. If the king feels that having multiple sons is a blessing, he might reconsider and think that having only one prince would be too lonely."Teressa considered Rachel's words and felt they made sense.Whatever the king had decided, he was unlikely to change his mind easily. If he truly only intended to have one so

Water splashed in all directions.Jane Foster's horse was in the lead. She wore a tight-fitting, plain dark battle robe.

She looked aggressive and intimidating.Although Jane and her sister Wendy were twins, she had been raised away from her family due to a superstition that twins brought bad luck.Wendy was kind, gentle, and had never held a grudge against anyone.Jane couldn’t figure out who would hurt someone as pure and kind as Wendy.
