George's sudden appearance disrupted Jane's escape plan.She remained calm as usual."The mountain path is difficult to traverse. I was looking for someone to ask how to get to town to find a doctor."The child picked up the wicker basket and handed it back to Jane, innocently saying, "Miss, the mountain path is actually quite easy to walk."George's sharp gaze fixed on her, waiting to see how she would explain herself.Jane didn't say much and instead asked them, "Why are you two out here?"The child pointed at George. "Your husband asked me to take him to find you. Miss, you two have such a good relationship, just like my parents. You can't bear to be apart for even a moment!"George had a faint, unreadable smile. "Yes, we certainly do."Jane's gaze darkened slightly.After that, she neither gathered herbs nor went to town. The three of them returned to the farmhouse together.As soon as they entered the house, George suddenly grabbed Jane's wrist, his gaze piercingly cold.

The assassins struck just as Jane tried to rise, but George held her waist down, forcing her to press against him. In the next moment, he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.In the darkness, she couldn't see his face, only sensing the hostility radiating from him.Boom.With a single lift of his hand, a powerful force wave erupted, instantly sending the assassins flying.Thud!Thud, thud!Several bodies crashed to the ground. Realizing the people inside were still awake, the assassins shouted, "Attack together!" But then, a man stepped through the bed curtains.Tall and imposing, he exuded an overwhelming sense of dominance."Attack together?" George echoed, cracking his knuckles. "Perfect. It's been a long time since I've personally killed someone."With a casual but swift motion, he struck an assassin square in the chest. The man collapsed instantly.Jane abruptly sat up. The shattered window let in a rush of cold wind, making the white curtains billow violently. She lif

Jane quickly got up and stormed out of the room, wiping the corner of her lips in disgust. She suppressed the fury in her heart. Her expression was unusually cold.If George wasn't the king, she would have punched him just now.George followed her out, his gaze fixed on her in the darkness. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to face him."If this is a game of playing hard to get, it's time to end it," he said.Jane grew even more frustrated. She controlled her emotions and spoke calmly, "You must be mistaken. I have never played hard to get with you."George's pupils contracted. The grip on her arm tightened involuntarily, his knuckles turning white.He let out a cold laugh."You risked your life to save me. You kept saying you wanted to be my wife."Jane couldn't bear to listen any longer and cut him off directly. "I saved you because of your status, just as a minister would protect his king. Does that mean the royal guards have feelings for you just because they protect you?

Inside the farmhouse courtyard, the suffocating air of impending death spread rapidly."Her Majesty is in the other room!" Karlsen quickly replied.However, by the time he followed George inside, the room was already empty.Karlsen was stunned. He had clearly seen her enter.George's gaze landed on the back window.Always composed and self-controlled, his eyes now surged with a raging storm as he realized Wendy had escaped.He had an overwhelming urge to kill someone.-Three days later, outside Cloud City, at a roadside inn, two people sat at a table by the window."Com-Master, we've already left Cloud City. Where do we go next?" Wallace almost used the wrong form of address.The person sitting across from him, wearing a mask and dressed in men's clothing, was Jane.She took a few sips of water and said in a low voice, "Pick up Wendy and head to the northern borders in secret.""Understood!"Jane set down her cup. "Have the preparations for the body been arranged?"Walla

Gloria was utterly shocked.Had Jane really run away? Was she truly heartless enough to abandon her own parents?Robin suddenly got up. He seemed to have come up with a plan."It must be that old bastard, Kennedy! I'm writing him a letter. I need to ask him exactly what he thinks he's doing!"Jane was his daughter. The Morris family were only supposed to foster her. Now that she was grown and married, the Morris family should have severed ties with her.After Robin left, Gloria's eyes welled up with tears.If anything, she felt worried. No matter what happened, Jane was her biological daughter. She only wondered where Jane was heading and if she was doing well.In the study, Robin had just picked up his quill when the butler suddenly barged in, looking as if he had seen a ghost."Master, something has happened!"It was one crisis after another. But to Robin, no matter what it was, nothing could be as serious as the queen's escape.The butler cautiously shut the door and then

Jane swiftly turned and threw the nearest man over her shoulder.Crash!The man smashed through a table, collapsing onto the floor along with the shattered wood, letting out a pained scream.After seeing this, the others charged at her together.But in no time, they were all sprawled across the ground, groaning in pain.Jane stood there with an effortless look on her face. Behind the mask, her eyes were filled with an icy killing intent.The men glared at her and warned, "You! How dare you hit us? We're from the Northern Battalion! Ever heard of Commander Morris? We serve under her! Do you think you can afford to offend the Northern Battalion?"Jane's voice was cold and steady. "The Northern Battalion is known for its strict discipline. Would they truly allow their soldiers to harass innocent women?"One of the men scoffed. "We defend the borders and risk our lives! This is what we deserve!""That's right! Without us, Romenia would've invaded long ago! There'd be no peace!"J

"You suspect her too? Why?" Marissa was slightly surprised.Jane trusted no one more than Marissa. She told Marissa everything about Wendy and explained why she suspected Jocelyn.After listening, Marissa nodded."Your reasoning isn't unfounded. If Jocelyn's goal from the start was to take over the role of Stanley, then she would need to send you away, target Wendy, and force you to go back to her. If it really was her doing, that makes her utterly ruthless!"Marissa had never imagined that Jocelyn had a hand in Wendy's situation as well. When had that girl become so cruel and ruthless?Jane's thoughts were complicated."I don't want to doubt her either, but in every incident, she appears highly suspicious."Marissa agreed. "There's something else I planned to tell you after confirming it, but I might as well say it now. I suspect that Jocelyn also had a hand in the destruction of Drakonas Squadron. I've been secretly investigating it for some time, but I haven't found any leads

Somewhere by the wall, the transition between the new and old structures seemed off.Jane didn't act immediately. She pretended to have finished inspecting and took her leave. She also reminded Lissandra not to tell anyone about their meeting and discussion.After nightfall, she snuck into the house again.After moving some scattered items, she indeed found the floor was loose. Removing the dirt revealed a square wooden board. She pried up the board and discovered an underground passage.She only struck a light for a moment, but it was enough to piece things together. This was how Jocelyn had smuggled the crates into the commander's residence.-The next day, Jane went to see Marissa again.Before she could tell Marissa about the discovery from the previous night, Marissa spoke first, revealing a confidential matter."This is an urgent letter from your birth father. It was originally meant for Kennedy, but I opened it first. Take a look."Marissa's gaze was solemn. Jane immedi

Jane never told George that Darren had died for her. The Thiberium poisoning had been meant for her. Darren had taken it in her place.She also never told George that Darren had already given her the Miracle Needles manual. At the time, she had been too busy waging war and had only learned half of it. So when he was poisoned, even though she hastily studied the rest, she still couldn't save him in time.Because of this, she could never forgive herself.That night, many struggled to sleep.George and the royal guards practiced combat through the night. The guards were miserable.Rachel lay awake until dawn, unable to calm her excitement about leaving the palace with the king the next day.The next morning, by the break of dawn, Rachel was already dressed and had prepared the offerings.The guards assigned to escort her had the carriage ready.

In the evening, at Tyrian Palace, George was about to settle down for the night when he noticed that Jane was still reading.He walked over. "Is that book really so fascinating?"Jane didn't even look up."I've sent people to investigate the purchase records of floral brocade in recent years. While waiting, I thought I'd search for clues about that nine-tailed serpent motif."George snatched the book from her hands, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. "It could just be an ordinary design.""Perhaps." Jane reached for the book, but he spoke again."There's a military physician in the Northern Battalion with the last name Durand. Was he the one who taught you Miracle Needles?"Jane's gaze subtly shifted.Growing impatient, George pressed further. "I want the truth. Was it him?"Jane's expression was cold and detached. "Yes."A storm brewed within George.The Durand family never passed down the Miracle Needles technique to outsiders—only their own bloodline. That mea

There were screams from within the palace."You scoundrel! Who's sick? Who are you calling delirious? I'm perfectly fine! Ahh! What are you doing!"Since Mary was struggling so violently, Dina had no choice but to order her to be restrained. A moment later, Mary was tied to the bed, thrashing wildly as she shouted toward the door where Dina stood."Mother! Save me!"Dina couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. "Mary, I'm only helping you."Mary was utterly baffled. She had just been quietly embroidering a fragrant pouch, yet her mother suddenly thought she was ill."The queen. Get the queen!" Mary barked at Irene.Wilhelmina, who stood right beside Dina, felt a chill run down her spine.Why call for the queen? Could Mary really have lost her mind?–At Zen Palace, Jane was flipping through ancient texts, searching for any records of the nine-tailed serpent motif.Suddenly, Maya rushed into the inner chamber. She seemed out of breath."Your Majesty! Something terrible ha

"I only heard that Commander Morris was quite close to a military physician, and there were even rumors of an intimate relationship." At this point, Richard hesitated before adding, "But I believe those were baseless rumors. It was most likely just camaraderie between comrades."George's expression turned unusually serious."What is the physician's name, and where is he now?""I only recall that his surname was Durand."'Durand?'George immediately thought of the Miracle Needles. That physician was likely a descendant of the Durand family.Richard had no idea why the king was asking about this, so he returned to the main topic."Your Majesty, since Jocelyn is not the true Commander Morris, why have you not made this public?"George's gaze turned dark."I have my own plans."Right now, all he could think about was that military physician with the surname Durand.–Outside the royal study, Karlsen saw Richard step out and greeted him respectfully.Karlsen's face was expressi

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
