On Edward's side, his angular face seemed chiseled, his words carrying a hint of amusement, "Actually, I'm quite curious to know how you learned all of this and why you chose to help me."Emma couldn't reveal the situation or deceive him, so she remained silent."Emma," Edward understood her thoughts, realizing she didn't want to speak, so he didn't press further. His lips carried a smile as he changed the topic, "You often laugh like this with others daily?""Huh?" Emma was caught off guard, sensing the mockery in his words, her expression turning cold. "Your Highness, don't misunderstand my good intentions."She wasn't an ignorant girl; don't assume a few words could coax the answers.Edward chuckled, "Fortunately, I encountered you today; otherwise, something would truly have happened." He turned and suddenly changed the subject, "Since arriving here, does it look familiar to you?"Emma found it strange, looking at him without saying anything."Life in the hometown might be tough,

Emma could see that the skills of these two were evenly matched, causing the game to be deadlocked. To secure a victory, sacrifices were inevitable. The game was chaotic, a struggle of wits, but they both remained focused on the grand scheme.Alpha Jeffn's gaze turned icy cold, a chess piece between his fingers, still not lowered.The Ninth Princess leaned in close to Emma, tilting her head to ask, "Duchess, who do you think will win?"Emma calmly replied, "They are evenly matched, both skilled chess players. To determine a winner, they must endure a long and arduous battle."She said so, but in her heart, she understood that a chess game was like a person's life. Playing chess reveals a person's true character most genuinely. Alpha Jeffn excelled in strategy and subtlety, proficient in various aspects. His only weakness was overthinking and needing to be more cautious. As for Edward, his character was too straightforward; his intelligence matched his wit. But he was vulnerable to bei

The figure in black didn't utter a meaningless word, instead immediately taking action. Two guards were killed on the spot. Emma pulled Draco back a step, and the figure in black raised a blood-stained sword and swung it toward them. Just then, a sharp blade glint struck down the black-clad figure, and Emma was astonished to see Edward riding swiftly on a horse, accompanied by over ten guards.They joined the battle, and the situation quickly changed. The black-clad figures laughed coldly when they saw this. Suddenly, one of them raised their head and let out a long, eerie howl. From the darkness, several more formidable black-clad figures emerged, seemingly well-prepared.The main targets of these intruders were Emma and her companions. Their every move was lethal, and they fought fiercely to break through the guards around Edward, aiming to force them out. As the two sides clashed, the clash of weapons filled the air. In a matter of moments, countless strikes were exchanged between

She had died once before; being granted a second chance at life was a generous gift from the heavens. Since returning to the Capital City, she has faced various challenges with composure. Even now, walking on an uncertain path, she wouldn't allow herself to panic. The end was not yet in sight, and there was still a chance!"Who are you?" Her gaze settled on the person in the gray robe before her.Though the gray-robed figure concealed their face, the silver streaks in their hair indicated an age that wasn't young. Yet, their eyes were sharp and divine, radiating a cold brilliance. Looking at Emma's calm demeanor, a trace of admiration flashed in their eyes. Confronting the brink of despair allowed one's true nature to shine through; this young girl, only thirteen or fourteen years old, could face death with tranquility. Her eyes possess a unique clarity that sets her apart from others.Emma looked at the gray robe on the person, and countless thoughts raced through her mind, but they

"How do you know?" Emma looked at him.The gray-robed figure's face became challenging to read, but they didn't answer."It's not okay. We can only use an antidote to counter the poison." The head physician's forehead was sweating.An antidote to counter poison?Emma's face went blank, a lousy suspicion forming in her heart. She asked, "What do you intend to use?"The physician thought briefly before answering slowly, "Arsenic, cinnabar, white stone, cadmium, Dendrobium pieradii, Naja siamensis."Emma and the gray-robed figure exchanged glances, their complexions paling. Those were all... highly toxic substances.The entire room was filled with a heavy atmosphere, as if breathing had become lighter.The gray-robed figure grew even more agitated. They took a deep breath, suppressing their intense emotions within. "He must survive, or I will kill you."Sweat beads dripped from the physician's forehead.Emma folded her arms, interrupting them, "If you want the physician to treat him prop

Emma whispered. While the temperament of the third concubine was reserved, she took extremely meticulous care of Draco, making his life within the Seldom clan relatively stable. It was a pity that the third concubine suddenly passed away, leaving him without support. Life within the Seldom family, known for its treachery, became increasingly difficult. However, Draco was intelligent and resourceful, patient in demeanor, and his seemingly weak and innocent exterior was just a facade to deceive his enemies. Perhaps tonight, she would witness a different side of him.Suddenly, a small, green snake carrying a letter crept in through the window.Emma was the first to spot it, her expression changing.But the gray-robed person wasn't surprised. They stepped forward and extended their hand. Unexpectedly, the small snake crawled into their palm. Emma stared in disbelief, feeling fear for the first time. She had heard of people using snakes to deliver messages but had never seen it firsthand.

Prime Minister's ResidenceLuna Sandra hurriedly rushed back to the Prime Minister's residence, even disregarding the presence of Governess Emma. This had a deep-rooted reason. Beta Henry had been away for three days, only to return with a new mistress. What was particularly noteworthy was that this time, Beta Henry should have informed Luna Sandra in advance.This implied that Beta Henry no longer respected his primary wife. Upon reflection, since the Ancient Event, he hadn't even set foot in her room once. While on ordinary days, Luna Sandra might be able to endure, at this moment, she couldn't tolerate it any longer. She hurriedly took Felicia with her and returned home, only to hear the news that Beta Henry had brought the new beauty Amant to a party without staying in the residence. This news infuriated her, but she suppressed her anger, enduring to the point where her teeth bled. She had a sleepless night, yet she didn't ask Emma a single question. The following day, she couldn'

These words touched the deepest part of Luna Sandra's heart. Under normal circumstances, she would have assumed the role of a generous and magnanimous person, letting Beta Henry come to his conclusions about the consequences of this matter. Then she would have acted like a good person, suggesting that Emma enter a nunnery and become a nun for the rest of her life. This way, she wouldn't raise any suspicion about her ulterior motives and could maintain a consistent image in front of everyone. However, she couldn't bear it any longer this time and spoke out in advance. Yes, she had to seize this opportunity and push Emma into a corner! Although Luna Sandra thought this way, when Beta Henry started to doubt her, a hint of fear still lingered within her. Thus, she quickly adjusted her facial expression to show a sense of sorrow and concern. "My lord, I speak like this without ulterior motives. I'm apprehensive about Emma. She's a perfect young lady, not yet married to anyone. Who would wa

Luna Sandra despised this second maid, her eyes darting around, wide open with surprise. It turned out that every flower, every blade of grass, every door and window, every piece of furniture, and even the mountainside, the dining hall, everything was plastered with yellow talismans.This bizarre scene left Luna Sandra dumbfounded.Miona exclaimed, “This is—”She turned back to look at Luna Sandra, her eyes questioning, but Luna Sandra seemed bewildered, unable to say anything. Nanny Marry breathed a sigh of relief; currently, Luna Sandra was confined to her room, though she ate and took her medicine three times a day as usual. However, the third young lady had quietly instructed that no one be allowed to talk to her. Over time, Luna Sandra seemed to forget how to communicate, spending her days in a daze, her nerves gradually deteriorating.

Luna Sandra’s grandmother observed Emma from afar, clad in simple attire, with a graceful figure and gentle footsteps. Her eyes carried a hint of a smile as she appeared, lacking the ostentatious beauty of a moonflower, yet her gentle smile and serene demeanor, with tranquil eyebrows, exuded a rustic elegance, akin to a proud white orchid.Luna Sandra glanced, immediately recognizing Emma’s subtle strength. Such a girl lacked the captivating beauty of Felicia, but concealed her own power and charm. While she seemed plain at first glance, she stood out among a myriad of blooming flowers, inadvertently dominating the room.Emma acknowledged Luna Sandra’s assessing gaze with a calm smile, sincerely addressing her, “Emma pays respects to the maternal grandmother, the first sister-in-law.”Luna Sandra remained silent, her maid Miona astute, stepping forward to support Emma’s hand, carefully assessing her from head to toe, remarking, “The third cousin is exquisite, pure and gentle, generous

He suddenly remembered something, his face darkening. “Has someone angered you?” The words had barely left his mouth when he immediately felt regret. Tentatively, he reached out, lifting her face, a tear as cold as ice falling onto his hand without warning. Clearly cold as it was, the young man’s heart felt as if it had been scorched in an instant, a pain inexplicable.Emma raised her head, her eyes devoid of tears, as if the tear in his hand was merely an illusion. She smiled gently, whispering to the confused young man, “Younger brother...”Now, the only person she could fully rely on was him.If possible, she hoped, he would not change throughout his life.“I won’t let anyone bully you.” The young man reached out, stroking her soft hair.Emma was stunned, then immediately smiled. At this moment, she thought the young man was joking, but later discovered she had been mistaken.Today, Dan rode a horse straight to the Seldom family’s residence.Dan hurried to Emma’s side, kneeling dow

The king, very suspicious. So everything that happened today was within Emma’s calculations.Emma turned away, and the distant fire cast an uncertain flickering light on her face. Her voice was calm, so ordinary that nobody could sense the unprecedented fatigue beneath it. She said, “I did this for the Seventh Prince’s own good.”Edward looked at her in surprise.Emma continued, “Today’s events, on the surface, Luna Daisy, were reprimanded by King Lycan. However, King Lycan knows he wronged Luna Daisy and even contemplated assassination. King Lycan will conclude that someone overwhelmed with jealousy against his beloved consorts plotted against Luna Daisy, always so gentle. Tell me, who will think King Lycan is a threat and resort to taking action against her?”“You intentionally chose Luna Meria?” Edward looked at her in disbelief.“That’s right, Luna Meria’s second son, who is also my Second Elder Brother, was married into the Alpha Male’s household. He has a legitimate daughter who

King Lycan’s face turned purple with anger, and he ordered an investigation. The result of the investigation found a wooden nameplate hanging from the waist of one of the palace maids, used for distinguishing the maids. This nameplate was traced back to Luna Daisy’s palace.At that moment, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.Luna Daisy had always been highly favored by King Lycan and had remained unshaken in her position for many years. But now, King Lycan was furious as he held up the wooden nameplate meant to distinguish the palace maids and threw it strongly in Luna Daisy’s direction, saying, “Luna Daisy, is this the good deed you’ve done?”Luna Daisy’s face suddenly turned pale. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen her fair share of such situations, but she had never witnessed King Lycan this furious.

Luna Meria, upon hearing these words, displayed anger and bitterness on her face, saying, “Emma, if it weren’t for your desire to compete with Naomi, how could she end up in this state? Everything is because of you...”Monami looked at Luna Meria with sympathy and believed that this had nothing to do with Emma. If it weren’t for Naomi’s haughty attitude, Emma wouldn’t have wanted to compete with her. Furthermore, her injury was an unfortunate accident. Just as Monami was about to speak, Emma gently interrupted, saying, “Miss Monami, I have a few words to speak with my aunt. Could you step out for a moment?”Monami was a wise and tactful young lady who understood human nature. She believed Emma wanted to explain things to Luna Meria, so she smiled and said, “Of course I’ll leave for now. I’ll find you later.” As she observed the behavior of many young noble ladies who were often haughty, Monami, with her martial family background, admired Emma’s straightforward, intelligent, and courag

Many complex details, such as how Carol had detected Samuel, how she had chosen the perfect moment, and how they had communicated, remained unspoken, but Edward still understood.It was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan.Emma invited Naomi to the horse race, but in reality, she had intended for Naomi to die in her place.Edward asked, puzzled, “Why did you choose Naomi? From what I know, you are ruthless and wouldn’t spare the innocent.”Emma chuckled and replied, “Some people have been noticing Luna Meria and Naomi coming to Luna Daisy’s camp the past few days. They wondered why they were so concerned about me. I thought I should repay their kindness in some w
