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

Helena woke up at dawn the next day.There was no sign of George in the chamber, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.Clara drew back the bed curtains, her face beaming with joy."Congratulations for earning the king's continued favor, Your Highness! This morning, before the king left, he instructed me to prepare herbal soup to nourish you. Your Highness, if I may ask boldly, did you...serve the king last night?"The king's affection was certainly a good thing, but Clara was worried since Helena's injuries were still severe. She shouldn't be engaging in such activities.Helena didn't answer the question. "Water."As Helena washed up, Clara spoke again."Teressa has only been back in the palace for two days, yet she's already preparing to leave for Mount Yalen again. Your Highness, will you be going to see her off?"Helena let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with resentment."See her off? More like see her to her grave! I thought she would deal with Wendy, but in

Security was tight in the palace. Gloria waited an entire day before finally gaining entrance to see the queen.Jane listened calmly to Gloria while the latter recounted Caleb's troubles, her expression remaining impassive."Destruction precedes renewal," Jane said simply.Though she had been investigating Caleb's predicament, she was well aware of one truth. As the eldest son of the Foster family, Caleb could not remain mired in despair indefinitely.Gloria, however, saw Jane's response as indifference. "He's your brother! If his future is truly ruined, what will become of the Foster family? Just because you lack childhood bonds with him doesn't mean—"Jane's sharp gaze cut her mother off mid-sentence."Where he fell, there he must climb back up. Why is he at the mercy of others? Because he settled for the position of assistant captain and lost his ambition. His downfall is his own doing. When Wendy was in danger, did he, as her elder brother, protect her? What future, what resp

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
