Substitute Queen's Revenge Chapter 306
At Longevity Palace, Teressa pressed further. "The queen has only been sent to the forbidden palace? What about the decree to depose her?"Alice responded hesitantly, "The decree hasn't been issued yet."Teressa frowned. What was George doing? Could it be that he still didn't intend to depose the queen?No, she was overthinking it. George was simply overwhelmed with state affairs and had momentarily forgotten about it."Very well. Let's wait a few more days."The process of deposing a queen required going through many formal procedures. It was never something that could be accomplished in just a day or two.-At Serene Palace, Dina's reaction was much more intense when she heard the news."Was this Lady Teressa's idea? George listens to her about everything! It was her idea for him to consummate the marriage with the queen, her idea to summon Lady Rachel to the bedchamber, and now he doesn't even consult me about deposing the queen!"He no longer sees me as his mother!"Laure
Substitute Queen's Revenge Chapter 1
"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

Since the tyrant king was coming, Jane had to ask Lily to redo her hair so she could put the crown and veil back on. However, Lily's hands were shaking. Jane guessed she was afraid of the tyrant king.With her hands shaking, it was inevitable that Lily would make a mistake.After losing her third strand of hair, Jane couldn’t bear it anymore."Stop. I'll do it myself," Jane said coldly.She was a master of disguise. It was necessary for her to be proficient in tying her hair into various styles. In a matter of seconds, she managed to restore her hair to its original state. Lily was shocked to witness this."Your Majesty, you're so skillful!"However, by the time they were ready to welcome the king, they received news from a royal servant."Your Majesty, Lady Helena had a headache. The king has gone to Cloud Palace."Lily opened her mouth. She was angry but dared not speak.Helena must have pretended to have a headache. There was no way it could have been a coincidence. She mus

Back in Jane's room, the older maid, Maya, who had previously been unfriendly and stern, immediately ordered a bath for Jane. She pushed Lily out of the way while smiling at Jane."Your Majesty, the king has never favored another concubine other than Lady Helena all these years. You're the first one!"Lily stood nearby. She was rather critical of this old maid. Maya hadn’t been behaving so attentively earlier. It was an obvious case of worshiping the powerful and crushing the weak.The status of women in the palace depended on the king's favor. Even someone as high-ranking as the queen would be neglected without his favor.Maya said a lot, but Jane wasn’t paying attention to her."All of you may leave. Lily will be sufficient," she instructed coldly.-After the chamber had cleared, Lily began to speak, worried."Your Majesty, it's a good thing that the king is willing to come. But aren’t you starting a difficult situation with Lady Helena? Your mother told us to keep a low pro

Lily heard the commotion and immediately ran into the bedroom."Your Majesty, what happened-?" “Get lost.”Lily halted at the words. They came from the bed, and it was a man's voice.She knew something was wrong and cried for help. A chamberlain rushed in and quickly stopped her, angrily reprimanding her."You blind fool! That's the king!"Lily was dumbfounded. The king? The tyrant king who murdered people? Why had he suddenly come so late at night?On the bed, George pressed on Jane's shoulder with one hand while grabbing her dagger-wielding hand by the wrist with the other. He towered over her like a lion that was about to slaughter its prey.Jane could try to set herself free, but she stopped moving after discovering who he was. She could not see his face clearly in the dark. However, she could feel he was a deadly threat."My queen, do you care to explain?"His harsh tone was intimidating. An ordinary girl would have begun stuttering helplessly a long time ago. Jane rema
Substitute Queen's Revenge Chapter 7
It was destined to be a disaster tonight. Jane had expected it.To be honest, it was probably a blessing that she could do it herself instead of losing her virginity to the tyrant king. At least she didn’t have to endure being pinned down.Jane tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt and used it as padding under her body. Then she lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand while holding the dagger upside down with the other.Although she had decided to do it, she still instinctively resisted it. She consoled herself by thinking of it as an injury. She had suffered enough injuries growing up, had she not?With that, she tensed, about to exert all her force-A strong hand gripped her wrist.Jane frowned. George snatched the dagger from her. When he spoke, his tone was even colder than before."Such a stupid woman."Clang!He threw the dagger away from the bed."I don't care if you're a virgin or not. Since you've decided to go all out to be the queen, don't do anything foolish

Teressa was a little surprised. She hadn't expected George to agree to deposing the queen so easily. So, it seemed that his initial opposition had only been for the sake of the child she was carrying.But then, George spoke again."But this matter cannot be taken lightly. What reason do you propose for deposing the queen?"Teressa pondered for a moment.If the queen hadn't committed a grave offense, it wouldn't be easy to remove her. However, the matter of the oracle records couldn't be made public either. It was a real dilemma."Just say she has an incurable illness."-News of the queen's miscarriage quickly reached the Foster family outside the palace. Robin reacted as if facing a great disaster. Upon hearing the news, he slumped into his chair."The child is gone?"His grandson, the future heir, and the honor of the Foster family–gone.Gloria, however, was more worried about Jane's health."Find out exactly how she's doing," she instructed Caleb. "Will the poison harm he

It was January, and the bitter cold remained.Rows of royal servants were forced to kneel on the ground as wooden boards struck their bodies again and again. They even had open wounds from the strikes. People often said the king was cruel and violent, but Rachel had never seen it with her own eyes. Now that she had, unease crept into her heart.She forced herself to push through the discomfort and stepped into the inner chamber.George sat by the bed. His brows furrowed. Meanwhile, Wendy was still unconscious on the bed.Rachel walked forward. Her voice was soft and gentle. "Greetings, Your Majesty."George turned his head upon hearing her voice. There was reproach in his gaze."It's freezing outside. Why did you come out?" His words carried a hint of concern.Rachel replied gently, "I was worried about Queen Wendy. How is she doing?"George looked at Wendy. "She's fine," he said coldly.Rachel's gaze landed on Wendy's stomach. She wondered if the child was still there."Ka

Jane didn't know how she had fainted. When she woke up, she saw George sitting by her bed. His expression was gloomy."You're awake?" His voice was hoarse and had a coldness to it.She looked past him and saw Lily kneeling on the ground.From outside the chamber, the sound of agonized screams reached her ears. Maya was among those being tortured.She screamed each time she was struck with a plank."Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to Queen Wendy! Your Majesty, I would never have any reason to harm the royal heir!" Maya cried.Jane tried to sit up, but George stopped her."Lie down!"She was confused. She could feel her body was weak. It was as if she had lost blood."If you were really carrying a child, you wouldn't have survived today." George's voice was cold.Jane furrowed her brows slightly. Was it that serious?Lily looked up. She looked silently at Jane with tears in her eyes."Your Majesty, what happened–" Jane asked."You were poisoned," George cut her off, h

"Your Majesty." Julie stepped out from behind the tree. Her expression was gloomy."Did something happen?" Jane asked calmly.Julie hesitated before nodding. Jane signalled for her to follow, and Julie accompanied her to Zen Palace. Once inside the inner chamber, Julie knelt before her, visibly agitated."Your Majesty, please help me!"Jane sat there, utterly composed."You want to share the king's bed?" Her voice was cool.Julie bit her lip and nodded. Tears welled up in her eyes as she poured her heart out."I don't know how to compete for favor. Lady Rachel entered the harem later than I did, yet she has already been with the king. I can't accept this."Your Majesty, Lady Wilhelmina spoke out of turn tonight, but she wasn't exaggerating. Now that you are pregnant and unable to attend to the king, someone will surely take advantage of the situation."Rather than letting it be someone else, why not let me serve the king in your stead? I'm on your side."Her words sounded s

While Rachel attended to George, Jane made no move. At Zen Palace, it drove Maya into a frenzy.If Rachel were to conceive a royal heir, then Wendy's favor would no longer be unrivaled. Moreover, Rachel bore an uncanny resemblance to Rosalie. Now that George had finally accepted her, he would surely shower her with affection.Yet the queen still had the mind to go to Serene Palace to celebrate Wilhelmina's birthday?-At Serene Palace, Dina, Jane, and the other concubines gathered to celebrate Wilhelmina's birthday, but the atmosphere was anything but lively.Most of them were preoccupied with thoughts of Fragrant Palace.The wine tasted bland.Dina herself had once been a concubine and knew well what they were thinking.She spoke thoughtfully, "Since you've all entered the harem, you are like sisters. Only by wishing each other well can the palace remain harmonious, allowing His Majesty to focus more on state affairs."Though Lady Rachel is absent, she was thoughtful enough t

At Nimble Palace, Wilhelmina was in the middle of getting dressed when she suddenly slammed down the hairpin in her hand. It startled Mia, who immediately dropped to her knees."Your Highness, please calm down!"Wilhelmina gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her expression was filled with complex emotions.Today was her twentieth birthday.Years of worry and sorrow had stripped away the youthful radiance from her face. Now, she had to rely on makeup to restore a semblance of vitality and suppleness.Who would believe it? Though she held the rank of consort, she had never once spent the night with the king. It was one thing for the queen to rise above her, but now, even Rachel–who had been in the palace for less than a year–had surpassed her. And on her birthday, no less.Unwilling to accept it, Wilhelmina asked again, "Did the king really summon Lady Rachel tonight?"The maid remained kneeling while nodding repeatedly."Y-Yes, Your Highness."She knew her mistress was dis

Jane knew better than anyone that the new rifle might look feasible, but in reality, it was far from simple. What Jocelyn had treated as a treasure and used to claim credit was nothing more than Jane's discarded draft.At that moment, in the Armory Bureau, everyone was gathered around the weapon design, their eyes filled with admiration and excitement."Jocelyn is truly a remarkable woman! To think she could design such an ingenious design!""It's been a long time since we've had something this impressive in the Armory Bureau! Inform the craftsmen–drop everything else and focus on building this new rifle!""I can't wait to see the finished product!"The more they studied the design, the more they admired Jocelyn. A woman of such extraordinary talent was rare. They were fortunate that she was born and raised in Nidora.The new rifle, also known as the fire lance, came in various sizes. Some were just over a foot long, while others stretched up to seven feet.Its design resembled

Jocelyn watched as George left Zen Palace and immediately followed suit.As the Chief Gatekeeper, she was not permitted to enter the palace without a summons. And despite her high rank, her status as a woman meant she was barred from attending court sessions or participating in political discussions.In short, she rarely had the opportunity to see George.She had intended to speak her mind, but when she caught sight of the king's bloodshot eyes and the murderous aura surrounding him, a chill ran down her spine. The king had always given her the impression of being strict and reserved, but never before had he looked this terrifying."What is it?" George's presence was intimidating, and his cold aura drained away the last traces of warmth in the air.Jocelyn quickly composed herself, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a set of weapon designs to present to you!"The cold wind howled, stinging her face.As king, George swiftly pulled himself out of his personal emotions.
