Her first duty was to enter the palace and express her gratitude for the appointment.George had conflicting feelings toward her.On one hand, if she hadn't leaked information, he wouldn't have found the queen so quickly.

However, her rage surged, and she clenched her fists secretly."It's nothing."-Two days later, at Longevity Palace, after hearing Rachel out, Teressa erupted in fury."Outrageous! The Foster family–how dare they?"Her usual refined demeanor, cultivated through years of devotion and prayer, was completely shattered in this moment.She immediately turned to Rachel and asked, "Rachel, have you truly confirmed this?"Rachel spoke frankly, "When I first received the secret letter, I couldn't believe it either. But if it was true, I couldn't just stand by and let Your Majesty and His Majesty be deceived."So, I first had my father send someone to Lionspear Temple to investigate. It turned out to be true. Only then did I come to report to you."Teressa exuded authority. Although she was old, her mind was as sharp as ever."Since it is true that the Fost

Robin confessed without further pressure.George's cold and sharp expression darkened. Teressa was even more furious."You scoundrel!" she shouted. "You deceived the late king and went to great lengths just to get your daughter into the palace as queen. You deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces!"A faint smile quickly appeared on Rachel's face. Robin was such a coward. If he was so afraid of death, he shouldn't have resorted to such deceitful tricks in the first place.Robin knelt on the ground, trembling."Your Majesty, it was all my doing alone. No one else knew about this, especially the queen. The queen had absolutely no idea."Teressa was intolerant of deceit."Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense!" she said. "The queen must have known about this! Even if she truly didn't, she should still be held accountable!"Hearing this, Robin lifted his head in a frenzy."No! The queen did nothing wrong! I raised her with great care since she was a child. I only wanted to se

The queen was pregnant.No one could be happier than Robin. He had waited so long, wished for this moment for so long, and finally, Jane was with child.He almost forgot his current predicament, grinning foolishly, unable to contain his joy.Rachel stood stiffly, the king's words replaying in her mind over and over. She never would have imagined that Wendy would conceive.Teressa couldn't take the shock and collapsed into a chair. The maid beside her hurriedly supported her."Lady Teressa!"Teressa quickly recovered and waved the maid away. Then, she turned to George and pressed him."When did this happen? Don't try to deceive me. You haven't laid a hand on the queen in all this time. How could she be pregnant?"George showed no sign of guilt. "It happened at the royal ancestral temple. It was not noted in the court records.""The royal ancestral temple?" Teressa felt a tightness in her chest, almost unable to breathe. She raised a trembling finger at George. "You are the king

"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.

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

Josephine answered whatever questions Dina asked."I sent someone to inquire at the royal ancestral temple and they didn't find Queen Wendy there, so I concluded that she must have encountered trouble."Dina's expression became serious."Lady Josephine, do you know that speaking recklessly and spreading rumors is punishable? I will ask you once more. Are you sure Queen Wendy was not at the royal ancestral temple?"Josephine nodded firmly. "Yes, Lady Dina! I would stake my life on it."Dina muttered to herself. "That's strange. If the queen wasn't at the royal ancestral temple, where had she been all this time?"She couldn't investigate matters involving George. There was no need to get herself into trouble.She instructed Josephine, "It's not that I don't trust you. But from my investigation, Queen Wendy was in no danger. She'll be back soon. If you really want to know, you can ask her in private."Josephine's face lit up with joy. "Really? I'm so glad Her Majesty is safe!"Di

Jocelyn felt no joy at the thought of going to the Royal City to take up an official post. Her gaze instinctively shifted toward Jane, who was beside the king.'Is this Jane's doing?' she thought. No, it couldn't be. The king wouldn't listen to a woman and then appoint her as Chief Gatekeeper. What exactly was going on? Jocelyn was anxious.Jane hadn't expected George to make a decision so quickly. Just last night, he had questioned her intentions.When she looked at him, he met her gaze, his eyes cold, but they conveyed something only she could understand. 'Isn't this what you wanted?'When the king wanted something, there was no room for refusal. George firmly gave his command to Jocelyn."The position urgently requires someone to fill it. You must leave within three days.""Your Majesty–" Jocelyn tried to resist.Kennedy stepped in front of her. "I will thank the king on my daughter's behalf." He gestured for Jocelyn to express her gratitude.Reluctantly, Jocelyn complied,

Jane reacted swiftly this time. Tilting her head to the side, she barely dodged the kiss. George's lips brushed past her cheek. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes.George made no further move. He merely chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Talking about repaying kindness, about doing it for my benefit–how hypocritical. You know that Jocelyn betrayed you, so you want to bring her to your side and slowly torment her."I guessed it right, didn't I?"Jane's expression stiffened slightly.Then, she heard him ask, "Do you truly want to come back, or were you left with no other choice?"Jane forced herself to stay composed. "I–""When I saw you at the cabin today, you had your bag with you. You were planning to keep running, weren't you?"George looked as if he had seen right through her, like a predator toying with a prey already in its grasp. He wanted to see her afraid and guilty. He wanted to hear her beg.But she merely looked up at him, her gaze calm and unyielding. It was a silen

Jane explained the matter of transferring Jocelyn to the Royal City."Your Majesty, you've always been wary of the Morris family holding too much military power. Jocelyn is Kennedy's disciple. Over the years, he has treated her like his own daughter. If we keep her in the Royal City, it will make Kennedy more cautious."George sneered. "Are you suggesting we hold Jocelyn hostage? Wendy, is this how you return a favor?"Jane lowered her head slightly."This has less to do with my personal feelings than me wanting to ease your concerns. Commander Jocelyn's influence in the Northern Battalion has already far surpassed yours. In my humble opinion, this is a case of a subordinate outshining her ruler."Transferring the commander away would also help bring the Northern Battalion back under Your Majesty's control."Her seemingly sincere advice made George momentarily forget the rule that the harem should not interfere in state affairs.He couldn't deny that she had a point.The Morris
