Helena's voice rang out sharply."What? You're telling me Teressa is forcing the king to consummate the marriage with that wretch?" Her previously good mood disappeared instantly.The royal servant delivering the news kept his head low, not daring to meet her fury."Your Highness, I heard it personally. Lady Teressa said…""Enough!" Helena cut him off impatiently, unwilling to listen to any more. Her initial shock gave way to deep suspicion.Teressa's return to the palace should have been focused on investigating the queen's rumoured impurity. Why the sudden push to have the king and queen consummate their marriage?Helena's gaze turned icy, her voice laced with venom."I'll ask you again. Did Teressa question the queen about her abduction?"The royal servant shook his head. "I'm not sure. Only a few were inside the inner chamber. From where I stood outside, I couldn't hear the conversation clearly."Hearing this, Helena's face darkened. Panic welled in her chest as she

Jane looked at the items prepared for the consummation ceremony and frowned.This was getting more and more absurdWhat about George? How could he agree to such an arrangement?Alice instructed the royal servants."Set the items down and prepare the queen for her bath.""Yes—"Jane cut in with a steady voice, "Lily alone will attend to me."Alice, confident in her authority under Teressa's orders, adopted a patronizing tone toward Jane."Your Majesty, this is your first time receiving the king's favor. You may not understand the rules of the harem."The ceremonial bath before the consummation is far more intricate than an ordinary one! One person could hardly manage it all. Your Majesty, don't keep the king waiting."With a respectful bow, Alice extended an arm in a 'please proceed' gesture.Jane's eyes were cold, her tone low."Lady Teressa sent you here to ensure the consummation between me and the king. If I'm not pleased, we'll see whether this consummation takes place

Jane took two steps forward, her gaze calm and undisturbed.George put down his book, his face dark, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction."What's this? Didn't Alice teach you how to serve in bed?"Jane remained focused, not wanting to miss any of his expressions. It was clear he didn't want to consummate the marriage either.Suddenly, George grabbed her arm.His fingertips, pressing against her wrist through the fabric, sent a cold, almost destructive, sensation over her body."Afraid of pain?"Jane frowned slightly.Pain? Was it the kind of pain she imagined? Was he really going to listen to Teressa's orders and act like a good grandson?A sense of resistance rose in her, her teeth grinding as she stared directly at him in silence.His handsome face remained impassive. He grabbed her with one hand, and with the other, a dagger appeared.Jane didn't change her expression, but her heart stirred with slight confusion. What did he want with the dagger?In an instant, she reca

Helena almost stood up from her seat.It couldn't be! The king couldn't possibly have favored Wendy!Moreover, the blood on that cloth couldn't possibly be Wendy's virgin blood! She had clearly already lost her purity!Helena had a look of disbelief on her face.But Teressa seemed satisfied and soon allowed Helena to leave.Helena left Longevity Palace, her mind distracted.Clara felt the same way. Had the king and queen really consummated their marriage?But wasn't the queen…Clara instinctively looked at her mistress.Helena's eyes were tinged with a hint of red.Something was wrong! This consummation had to be fake!Helena both refused to believe it and desperately wanted to see the king, to ask him about it in person.-Elsewhere, in Serene Palace, Dina was surprised to hear that the king and queen had consummated their marriage."Is this news reliable?"Laurel nodded repeatedly."Your Majesty, it's true. Lady Teressa sent Alice to oversee the entire process, and th

Inside Zen Palace, new bedding had been laid.Jane stepped out of the bathhouse and changed into her formal attire.Lily brought in hot coffee, her expression full of concern as she asked, "Your Majesty, did you...consummate the marriage?"Jane showed no extra emotion on her face. "You need not ask about this matter."Hearing this, Lily became even more confused, but since her mistress had instructed her not to ask, she refrained from further questioning.Suddenly, a knock came from outside."Your Majesty, Lady Helena wishes to see you!"Lily's heart skipped a beat. "She must be here about your consummation, Your Majesty. Do you wish to see her?"Jane drank the still-hot coffee, feeling some relief in her throat, and then spoke calmly, "Let her in."Inside the hall, it was only Jane and Helena.As soon as Helena saw her, her face twisted in rage, as though she were about to lunge at Jane and tear her apart."Your Majesty, you certainly seem proud of yourself," Helena sneered

Helena couldn't understand how Wendy could have avoided the body inspection. After much thought, the only explanation she could come up with was that the person in front of her was not Wendy.But this explanation was absurd. If she wasn't Wendy, who was she?Faced with Helena's doubts, Jane didn't try to defend herself. She stared at Helena with a cold, heavy tone."Indeed, I am not Wendy. After being captured by the bandits, I am no longer her."Helena felt a chilling pressure. She wanted to step back, but Wendy grabbed her collar, forcing her to bend down, and the wounds on her body tormented her."You... Let go!" she cried out.Jane held her tightly and slowly stood up. Helena's eyes widened. The shadow cast over her felt like a demon emerging from the depths of the earth.A faint smile appeared on Jane's face…"There is a strange medicine from a foreign land. If it's applied to the skin, after forty-nine days, it can regenerate and make all scars disappear. The skin becomes

Jane had been affected by the Dream Flower poison, and while waiting for news from Wallace outside the palace, she also attempted to purge the poison on her own.In a careless moment, she fainted inexplicably.Then it felt as though she had returned to the past, or perhaps fallen into a nightmare.She saw someone who hadn't appeared in her dreams for a long time. She spoke to him for quite a while...When Jane woke up, she didn't know how long she had been unconscious.She only felt the room was eerily quiet. Her breathing was uneasy.Lily was by the bed, looking pale as paper, her hands trembling."Your Majesty... You're awake..." Lily said.Jane sensed that something was wrong. She sat up, and upon looking around, saw that George was also there.He was sitting on a small couch not far away, his expression as cold as ancient ice, now staring at her with an intense gaze.Jane's mind briefly went blank.Had he figured out that she was affected by the Dream Flower?Swoosh—G

Richard bowed first. "Your Majesty."George's gaze bypassed Richard entirely, settling on Jane. In an authoritative tone, he ordered, "Leave. The great queen dowager dislikes being disturbed by outsiders."Lily seethed silently, too afraid to speak up. How could the queen, the king's lawful wife and Teressa's granddaughter-in-law, be reduced to an outsider by that tyrant king?Jane remained composed and bowed gracefully. "Yes."She had never wanted to come in the first place. Since he said she wasn't needed, she was more than happy to leave.Inside Longevity Palace, Teressa sat in the seat of honor, with the king and Richard on both sides. Her sharp gaze swept across the room. "It's already this late. Why hasn't the queen come to greet me?""The queen is clumsy with words. It would only upset you, Grandmother. I sent her back," George replied without a change in expression.Teressa didn't press further for now. However, after the king and Richard had left, she instructed Alice

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

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

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

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 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

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
