Substitute Queen's Revenge Chapter 15
The narrow underground chamber was filled with tension as their eyes met. The surrounding air seemed to grow colder.Jane wasn’t dressed in her dark cloak, disguised instead as an ordinary court lady. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to fight.First, the palace was on high alert for an assassin, which would complicate her future movements.Second, her internal injuries hadn’t fully healed.“I accidentally fell in here. Do you know the way out…”George’s expression changed slightly.This court lady didn’t seem to know who he was.Indeed, Jane had no idea that the man before her was her husband, the king, George.They had only met twice in total.The first time was on their wedding night, where the chamber had been pitch black.The second was the night the assassin was apprehended. He had stood behind her while she was in the bath, and she never turned to look at him.To this day, she didn’t know what he looked like.Similarly, George didn’t know that this court l

"Get off me!" George's voice was hoarse.During the flare-up of Thiberium poisoning, there were varying degrees of damage to his body. His throat felt as if shards of ice had gouged through it, making his voice raspier and more menacing than usual.Even uttering those three words caused unbearable pain.This woman was utterly infuriating."So, you can speak," Jane remarked, having assumed he was mute.In the next moment, her gaze fixed on his neck, and her expression changed. It was as though she'd stumbled upon something crucial.Jane stared at the silver line on his neck.She had been searching for Thiberium for a long time. To be precise, she was looking for the person who knew how to use it."Who used this poison on you?" Jane asked calmly. There was a slight glimmer in her eyes.George's expression remained dull. It seemed like he wouldn't tell her.Swoosh!He was caught off guard when Jane ripped his shirt open.Just as she expected, the silver line extended to his ch

Her sister was still alive! Jane clutched the note and clenched her fist before pressing it against her heart. Her eyes closed.She couldn't wait to see Wendy.-The next evening, Jane put on a disguise and snuck out of the palace. There was a carriage parked at the entrance of a remote alley. The young man driving the carriage saw her and immediately jumped out to greet her."Greetings, Commander Foster!"Wallace was one of her trusted advisors. He had followed her from the military camp all the way to the Royal City.When Jane had entered the palace, she had sent Wallace to Foster Mansion to secretly track down the bandits who had raped Wendy.She didn't expect such a big surprise from Wallace."Where is Wendy?" Jane asked softly while trying to remain calm.Wallace lifted the carriage's curtain. "I'll take you to her right away."Wallace explained everything to her while he drove the carriage."I noticed the butler's strange behavior that day and quietly followed him to t

All Jane knew was what Gloria had told her on the day of her wedding. Now, Candace revealed a lot more information."Ms. Wendy has been vomiting ever since she was sent home. She didn't throw up food scraps but human feces! They had the audacity to force that stuff down her throat! They didn't only rape her. They even used red-hot iron tongs to…! The physician said she won't ever be able to have children!"Not being able to bear children was a disaster for a woman in Nidora.Candace choked up several times and couldn't go on. Eventually, she buried her face in her hands and cried.Jane pursed her lips. She had a murderous look in her eyes. The cramped room was filled with an air of hostility.After a long while, Candace calmed down a little. She knelt in front of Jane again."Your Majesty, do you intend to kill Lady Helena in revenge?"Jane clenched her fists tightly with a cold expression on her face.Candace pressed on, "Your Majesty, when Ms. Wendy was still conscious, she a

Although Timothy was only a chamberlain, he acted in an arrogant manner. It was as if the queen had to give him what he asked for. However, after a long while, nobody answered the door.Instead, Maya came despite living further away. She seemed worn out. Since the queen wasn't favored by the king, Maya's status was even lower than the lowest-ranked servant from Cloud Palace."Timothy, please be patient. The queen is probably still in bed. I'll check on her," she said.Timothy lifted his chin. "Then hurry up!""All right, I'm going in right now."As soon as Maya entered the bedchamber, she saw Jane dressing. She immediately approached her, smiling."Your Majesty, Lady Helena has a headache. If you could give her some medicine, the king would certainly notice your kindness. You'd have a chance to start over. Don't you agree?"Jane slowly filled in her eyebrows in the mirror. She seemed completely unbothered."I've run out of the medicine."Maya's face fell. "Your Majesty, are

George pursed his lips and tried to suppress his anger.The medicine the queen had sent the last time was effective. He had asked the physician to research how to make it. However, there had been no progress due to the lack of a few important ingredients.George had thought the queen was truly kind-hearted, but it turned out she had been waiting. She wanted to use the medicine to get what she wanted from him. If that was her game, so be it!George was annoyed and asked, "What else did she say?" Timothy's forehead was covered in sweat."The queen said that the longer you hesitate, the longer Lady Helena will suffer from the headache. If you don't agree, she won't give you the medicine even if she has to destroy it. She even said that a verbal promise isn't sufficient. She requires a written decree from you."Timothy's limbs were weak. He felt doomed. Was the king going to kill him?After listening to what Timothy said, George's facial expression turned gloomy.There was dead

After the king left, Helena's maid, Clara, became deeply worried."Your Highness, if the queen truly gains the king's favor, your position in the palace will not be unique," she said.Crash!Helena threw a vase near her bed, and it broke into pieces.Clara immediately gathered up the pieces and knelt on the ground. "Please calm down, Your Highness!" she begged.Helena sat sideways on the bed, clutching the mattress with one hand. Her eyes were gloomy. She stared ahead as she screamed in a frenzy, "How could the king favor her?!"The queen had long lost her virginity. How dare she brazenly compete with her? She was over-estimating herself.-Meanwhile, several other concubines gathered in one place.They had never been favored by the king and were not as angry as Helena. However, they still felt affected by this."Ahh! In the end, the queen proves to be capable. The king actually agreed to her demands."Julie, who had always sided with Helena, couldn't stand it and started mo

George's dark eyes radiated chills as he looked coldly at the woman in front of him.Julie was kneeling on the bed in very thin pajamas.Whether it was due to the cold spring evening or the king's anger, Julie shivered uncontrollably with her head hung low."I-I'm Julie. We met in Lady Helena's palace…" She barely managed to finish her sentence. Her throat felt dry and constricted.Despite his perfectly calm tone, George's handsome face had a coldness that terrified her from the bottom of her heart."Where is the queen?" he asked again.The air around them felt thinner and thinner. Julie could hardly catch her breath. "Your Majesty, the queen arranged for me to serve you in bed," she said.At the commotion, Steven came in without being summoned. He happened to overhear what Julie said and was flabbergasted. Wasn't the queen supposed to be waiting for the king in bed?What was she doing? Was she playing hard to get?In reality, Julie was also surprised. She never thought she'd

At Grace Palace, Rachel sat in front of the mirror. Her gaze was slightly empty. Aurelia couldn't bear to see her like this."Your Highness, it's getting late."The king not coming didn't mean she should refuse to sleep.Rachel murmured softly, "Yes, it's late."Was the queen accompanying the king at this hour?She used to console herself with the thought that perhaps the queen, like her, was nothing more than a facade to deceive others and had never truly shared the king's bed.But if that were true, why would the king summon her to Tyrian Palace? Even Rosalie had rarely set foot there in the past. This proved that the king truly favored the queen.Then what was she?She had exhausted every means at her disposal, yet she couldn't make the king spare her even a glance.Tonight was destined to be a sleepless one.-The next day, during the court session, ministers were still debating over Jocelyn's death."Your Majesty, Commander Morris held great prestige among the people.

Jane proposed making the truth public to prevent the people from continuing to misunderstand. However, George's gaze was extremely cold."There's no need."Now, it was her turn to be confused. Between two difficult choices, one should choose the lesser evil. As a king, did he not understand this?George was very serious."If we expose that Jocelyn is an impostor, the Morris family won't escape punishment. Neither will the tens of thousands of Northern Battalion soldiers."Even if those soldiers were unaware of the truth, people could always find an excuse to accuse them. If that happened and someone with ulterior motives took advantage of the situation, the entire Northern Battalion would be thrown into chaos.By keeping this secret, he could still protect the Morris family and those soldiers.If the truth was revealed, he would have to handle the matter impartially. Otherwise, his authority would be compromised.Jane said nothing.In her heart, she naturally leaned toward her

George saw a light in her eyes that he had never seen before.The surroundings were silent. It was as if, as long as she looked at him like this, he could agree to anything.But he was not so easily swayed.After only a brief moment of distraction, he quickly regained his usual cold and imposing demeanor and spoke in a steady tone."In the second year of my reign, the allied forces of four nations attacked Nidora. I led the army into battle. After the war ended, I returned to the capital, passing through a misty forest on the way. There was an ambush in that forest."While fighting off the assassins, one masked individual released a creature that resembled a salamander. I was bitten by it and poisoned. Only later did I learn that it was Thiberium poisoning."Jane was well aware that Thiberium poisoning involved raising salamanders and feeding them a specially prepared poison daily. Over time, the creatures would absorb the toxins and become what was known as Thiberium, naturally

Mary was feeling guilty. Jocelyn had managed to escape from prison thanks to the Falcon Command Token she had secretly delivered to her. She had known the truth would come to light sooner or later, but she hadn't expected it to be this soon.Even more surprising was that after questioning her for a while, George suddenly stopped. Instead, he changed the subject and solemnly warned her."Mary, I can choose not to punish you for this matter, but from now on, stay away from Zen Palace."Mary's fists clenched involuntarily. She met George's gaze, refusing to back down, and smiled."Your Majesty, you've been on the throne for seven years now, yet you still have no heirs. That's quite unusual, isn't it? I heard from Grandmother that you've decided not to favor the harem unless the queen bears an heir?"Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but over the years, you've shown favor to Lady Rosalie and Lady Helena, and even spent nights with Rachel. Yet none of them have conceived. So why do

Mary stared blankly at the person before her.The queen was actually Commander Morris who had saved her all those years ago.Good heavens! What had she been doing all this time?She had actually believed Jocelyn and gone against the queen at every turn. She had even exposed the queen's marriage substitution.For the sake of Jocelyn, an impostor, she had nearly caused the death of her true savior.At this moment, Mary was filled with regret and remorse.Jane lowered her gaze to the bracelet on her wrist and sensed something was off.Their eyes met suddenly. Mary's gaze was emotional, her voice trembling. "You–"She had countless things to say, but she didn't know where to start."Commander, I personally measured your wrist for this bracelet. Now, do you still wish to deny it?" Mary gazed at her intently.Jane's brows furrowed slightly. "Princess–"Mary interrupted her. "I was a fool. I conspired with Jocelyn and went against you at every turn. It's only natural that you bla

Lancelot had been particularly idle these past few days.Earlier that day, while eating at a tavern, he had overheard people at the next table plotting to kill the king. Without hesitation, he had scurried over excitedly.Upon learning that a heroic figure like Commander Morris had been killed, he was instantly filled with righteous indignation. Mostly, though, it was because he had heard from Fred and the others that Commander Morris had been Henry's close friend.In that case, he had to do his part.Lancelot prided himself on being loyal and devoted, extending his affections to those his friends cared for.Little did he know that, in that moment in Jane's eyes, he was being utterly foolish.Had his life been too smooth sailing? Was he eager to know what it felt like to have his head hanging by a thread?Seeing Lancelot charging toward her, Jane didn't wait for George to offer her an opening to attack. With one hand pressing down on his shoulder, she delivered a flying kick.T

Karlsen sat there, stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing.The queen was straddling the king's waist, gripping both of his wrists and pinning him against the carriage wall, all the while biting his neck.The posture made it seem like the king was being forced.Karlsen's instinctive reaction was to protect the king. But the moment the queen turned her head, the murderous intent in her eyes made him freeze.For some reason, in that brief instant, his body acted faster than his brain. It made a choice–a choice that ensured his survival.Whoosh!Karlsen decisively dropped the carriage curtain. 'The king must be enjoying this.' He thought, reassuring himself. 'Yes, definitely.'It wasn't just Karlsen. George himself hadn't expected to be overpowered by a woman, especially in such a position.He stared coldly at the woman in front of him. Her hair was a mess, and her lips were red and slightly swollen. There was even a distinct bite mark on her neck from him.Of course, he

George stared straight at Jane before solemnly speaking again."Why don't you ask me whether I have ever favored Helena?"It wasn't as if she didn't know that a woman born without a vaginal opening couldn't consummate a marriage with a man."Your Majesty, this matter has little to do with me," Jane replied honestly. Seeing the sudden chill on his face, she added, "Even a woman with such a condition can still receive favor. So I never doubted anything." Such as, perhaps, whether he was incapable.In an instant, George looked daggers at her."You've been playing the role of Commander Morris for so long that you seem to have learned quite a bit about the affairs between men and women."Jane lowered her gaze indifferently. "Your Majesty, that's high praise."George was speechless. Did she really think he was complimenting her?After a strange silence, George spoke directly."Helena has never shared my bed. The favor I bestowed upon her was because, during those four years, it was

Jane had come with George. She stood outside the door, listening to Helena's shrill screams. She couldn't bear it anymore.Helena was the kind of person who would never repent.At first, she had thought that making Helena suffer the same torment would settle their debts. But now, it seemed that letting Helena go would only plant an even greater disaster. She knew well enough to never underestimate a person's hatred.At that moment, upon hearing that the queen was also present, Helena's emotions surged. She howled furiously."Get out! I only want to see His Majesty! Wretched woman! I'll make His Majesty kill you! If he won't help me, I'll do it myself! I'll never let you–Ahh!"Helena looked down in disbelief at the sword piercing her chest. It happened too fast. She hadn't even seen it coming before she was struck.Forget Helena, even expert fighters like George and Karlsen had failed to stop Jane in time.She had moved as if she had teleported. Karlsen, who was closest to the
