Jane didn't immediately reveal who the witnesses were. Instead, she calmly explained the events leading up to this moment."After the polo match, it was discovered that Trevor was the culprit behind the fall of the two ladies. However, in truth, he acted under Lady Helena's orders to harm Lady Josephine. After his capture, Lady Helena, fearing he might implicate her, sent a palace maid, Pearl, to silence him…"George frowned, impatient, and interrupted her in a deep voice."What exactly are you trying to say?"As far as he knew, both Trevor and Pearl were already dead. Could they somehow rise from the dead to serve as her witnesses?Jane replied with measured composure."Your Majesty, please allow me to explain. That night, Pearl didn't actually die. I secretly sent her out of the palace for treatment. She's alive and can testify against Lady Helena."George's expression turned eerily calm, as if suppressing a storm. It seemed they really had risen from the dead. He said nothing

Helena knelt but still held her head high, showing no sign of guilt.Thomas glared at her with hatred."Your Majesty, my brother Timothy worked under Lady Helena. He wrote that journal to safeguard his life! I never imagined Lady Helena would be so cruel. To eliminate any loose ends, she ordered the massacre of my entire family. "I'm the only survivor, saved by a kind soul. They set fire to the house, not realizing I had crawled out unnoticed…""Your Majesty, it was Lady Helena who ordered me to assassinate Trevor!" the maid Pearl testified.Despite the testimonies, there were still doubts.For instance, how could Thomas be certain that the people who killed his family were sent by Helena?Thus, Clara's testimony was crucial."It was Lady Helena who feared Timothy's family might know too much," Clara said. "She instructed me to arrange for Timothy's entire family to be eliminated. As for the mountain bandits who kidnapped Queen Wendy, that too was orchestrated by her.""Shut

Jane responded to George with composure."You value the royal family's reputation, and I also wish to avoid public scrutiny. Therefore, all you need to do is make Lady Helena's crimes public. The identities of the victims and the specific details can be omitted."This way, Helena's crimes could still be exposed without unnecessary scandal.George gave her a cold, piercing stare."You've thought this through, haven't you? If I don't comply, are you planning to scatter those copies of the confessions across the entire city?"Jane lowered her gaze."If it weren't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't resort to such measures," she said. "If you write Lady Helena's crimes yourself, you can choose how much to reveal. But if it were me, those documents would remain untouched and complete—burning all bridges."The feeling of being threatened was infuriating, especially for George, who was the ruler of a nation.With a sharp motion, he stood, the oppressive aura surrounding him sweeping acro

George began to issue his order, "Someone, take the queen—"A servant outside the hall came to report."Your Majesty, Lady Dina has issued a royal decree summoning Queen Wendy."George's expression turned icy as he looked at Jane.Jane remained calm and composed.Clearly, everything was going according to her plan… She truly had anticipated everything. Confident that he would punish her, she had already arranged for Dina to back her up.George's eyes were cold, radiating a terrifying killing intent."Wendy, you better pray that you can stay in Serene Palace for the rest of your life."Dina could only protect her for a moment; she could not protect her for a lifetime!Jane respectfully performed a curtsy."Please excuse me, Your Majesty."She turned and left, her demeanor of respect and obedience instantly disappearing, replaced by a coldness like the winter frost.-At Serene Palace, the scent of sandalwood lingered, stinging one's eyes.Dina looked at the queen before he

After speaking, George wiped his sleeves and left.Helena collapsed on the ground, her arms reaching out helplessly, her face twisted with desperation and despair."No— Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please don't abandon me! Your Majesty!"How could this happen? How could he not need her heart's blood? Wasn't his Thiberium poisoning incurable by anyone else?'Why? Why?'Helena clenched her fists tightly, her eyes red and brimming with tears.Was she really going to be exiled?"No!"-George returned to Tyrian Palace, his expression cold as frost, remaining unchanged for a long time.Steven attended to him carefully, watching the king's expression closely.Although he didn't know the full details, the exile of Helena and the king issuing a decree of self-reproach were shocking enough.George sat at his desk, picking up a brush to write out a passage from the Calming Chant that the female assassin had taught him.At this moment, he desperately needed clarity and composure.The

"Commander Foster, I bring dire news! Your sister was raped and committed suicide. Your mother wants you to swiftly return and take your sister’s place in the royal wedding!"At the border of Nidora, several horses' hooves thundered across freshly melted snow. Water splashed in all directions.Jane Foster's horse was in the lead. She wore a tight-fitting, plain dark battle robe. Her black hair was pulled into a ponytail that left loose ends which danced in the wind along with the hem of her dress. 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. She wanted to skin that person alive.The royal guard soon realized he couldn’t keep pace with the speed she was setting."Commander Foster, two of our horses have alre

Inside the house, Jane narrowed her eyes.Regardless of the examination's outcome, the Foster family would lose. Helena Larson must have definite evidence that the Foster family’ daughter was no longer a virgin, and was now using it to cause trouble.If Jane, her sister's substitute, was found to be a virgin, it might help stop Helena's plot. However, it would definitely arouse her suspicion. Once it was discovered that Jane was a substitute and not Wendy, she would be convicted for deceiving the king. That would bring disaster to the Foster family!Jane looked ahead. She calmly applied makeup to her face using the hand that was used to holding a spear.Her master had taught her the art of war and the ways of government.Her master's wife had taught her a woman's role in the family, including necessary household skills. Although she had learned it all, she had never thought these skills would come in handy.She had aspirations and didn’t want to be trapped in a house as an obed

Serene Palace was where Dina Augustus, the queen dowager, lived.After hearing about the incident at Foster Mansion, Dina seemed somewhat joyful. She turned to look at her maid, Laurel."I met Wendy last year during my birthday celebration. She seemed too docile in nature. I felt then that it would be hard for her to become the queen. I've changed my mind about her. I'm impressed."Laurel had served the queen dowager for a very long time. She knew all about the struggles of living in the palace. She poured her mistress a cup of coffee."But based on the king's favoritism towards Lady Helena, the queen won't stand a chance against that woman from the Cloud Palace, no matter how smart or brave she is," Laurel said. "We can't be sure Lady Helena won't make her suffer tonight."It was clear that she didn’t think the new queen would be capable.The smile on Dina's face faded."You're right. I still remember the day Wilhelmina entered the palace. George was all set to go and pamper he

In the royal study, George sat behind his desk, watching Wendy approach. She wore plain attire, looking nothing like a queen.She knelt before him, holding up a stack of testimonies in her hands."Your Majesty, I have grievances to report!"Karlsen, the sole attendant in the study, stepped forward to take the documents from Jane and presented them to the king.George began flipping through the pages. He had only read the first when his expression darkened."Wendy! Do you know what is written here?"Jane kept her head lowered respectfully."I do. What you're reading is the initial testimony from the bandits—unedited and containing the whole truth. It documents everything that happened after I was abducted."George's pupils contracted sharply."The maids examined you," he said.She was proven to be chaste. Yet the testimony claimed she had been violated after her abduction.Jane spoke calmly, "I consumed a rare potion and endured excruciating treatment to shed my scars. There

In the grand hall, ministers from both countries were engaged in a heated argument.Walter spoke with certainty."King George, Stanley killed innocent citizens of Romenia. The compensation is meant to appease them, make Stanley admit his fault, and reassure both Romenia's people and our army. This is a necessary step for the peace talks between our two nations. "If Nidora offers nothing in return, even if the ministers agree to sign the peace treaty, I fear that Romenia's hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the common people, and the countless souls of the dead will not agree!"A Nidora minister immediately retorted, "In war, casualties are inevitable! Moreover, our soldiers have never slaughtered your defenseless civilians. What 'souls of the dead' are you talking about? Who is there to soothe?"Walter squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, his voice growing sharp."So, are you saying that your country is not interested in peace talks?"'Fine!' he thought. 'If that's the case

Just as George touched her mask, a silver needle pressed against his chest.Jane's eyes were cold."Curiosity killed the cat," she said.George pursed his lips. Then, he withdrew his hand.Jane withdrew the silver needle she held, away from his chest.The two of them remained at a stalemate.The mechanism opened, revealing Karlsen. He was relieved to see that the king was alive and well.But it was still best to capture the female assassin. Taking advantage of her current weakness, he would take her life. Karlsen immediately drew his sword.But then he heard the king's command."Let her go."-The sky grew dark.At Zen Palace, Lily had been uneasy the past couple of days. She only relaxed slightly when she saw the queen return.But she soon realized the queen seemed severely injured."Your Majesty, you…"Jane dragged her weakened body, one hand gripping the table edge, the other clutching her clothes."Stay outside and guard the entrance."It was as if her throat had b

Jane collapsed onto the jade bed beside George. He rolled over and positioned himself above her. His strong hand pressed firmly on her shoulder as he leaned down, his gaze dangerous, like a predator watching its prey, ready to consume her.Jane's pupils suddenly contracted, and she decisively drove the final needle into him.She immediately raised both hands, pushing against his chest, trying to avoid touching the silver needles.His lips nearly brushed her cheek, almost grazing her face and earlobe. His breath, hot like a summer heatwave, sprayed against her neck."I forgot the Calming Chant..." he murmured."Repeat after me," Jane replied, her gaze cold.They struggled to chant a few lines, and gradually, it started to take effect.George's gaze softened, the intense heat fading somewhat.Soon, he realized what he had been doing. He immediately sat up, crossed his legs, and focused his mind.After that, he regained control.Thirty minutes later, Jane removed the needles.G
