Chapter 991

When Leona arrived at Hell Monarch Estate, she saw Dominic and Cindy. Unable to hold back her tears, she immediately rushed forward to greet them.Upon seeing her, Dominic and Cindy instinctively glanced outside. But after a moment of seeing no one, a flicker of disappointment crossed their eyes, quickly replaced by their usual calm.Cindy smiled as she held Leona's hands. "Why are you crying, silly girl? Aren't you happy to see your grandfather safe and sound?""I am happy... I'm just too happy," Leona said through her tears.Dominic looked at his granddaughter, knowing the hardships she had endured. His heart ached with pity."Leona, come sit down and let me have a good look at you."Hearing the concern in his voice and remembering her mom's indifference, Leona felt a pang in her chest. Tears rolled down her cheeks again."Grandpa, I'm fine. I have my cousin to help me. Everything's good."Dominic glanced at Carissa, his heart filled with sorrow. She had suffered so much, yet

Chapter 992

Trevor and Jeremiah stayed at Hell Monarch Estate for dinner. The spread was lavish, with fine wine served alongside it.Dominic was in high spirits and was drinking freely. The three of them chatted and laughed throughout the meal, mostly reminiscing about old times. They spoke of those who had already passed, even mentioning Matthias Warren.Jeremiah sighed deeply. "Back then, I used my connections to arrange a marriage between Barrett and Viola, all out of respect for Matthias. I wanted to make sure their family didn't fall into decline. Who would've thought those two would end up as a mismatched pair? As a matchmaker, I've truly failed. I regret it.""Everyone has their own fate," Trevor remarked. He then turned to Dominic, adding, "At our age, we can't be too concerned with the affairs of the younger generation. Let's focus on taking care of ourselves and enjoying a few more years surrounded by our grandchildren.Trevor's words carried deeper meaning. With Salvador still young

Skye Embroidery had been fully completed and was ready to take in women at any time.Davis' wife, Hannah, had even hosted a garden party to spread the word, and soon, the local people were buzzing with conversation about it. Yet, despite all the chatter, no woman who had been cast out of her home dared to step into the workshop.Violet was puzzled. According to her investigation with Claire, many of the women who had been cast out lived in poor, secluded nunneries, doing the hardest, dirtiest work. Sometimes, they even went without food for days. For those fortunate enough to return to their family's home, they still endured harsh treatment from their brothers and sisters-in-law, and their lives were unbearable.On the 10th of March, the body of a woman was discovered in a river. After the Royal Citadel investigated, they confirmed she had worked as an embroiderer after being cast out for not being able to bear a child.When Violet learned of the incident, she could no longer stay

"It's not like I haven't thought about that too, but we're not there yet. So, let's not worry about it for now. If things don't work out, we can always sell the embroidery in other regions. It's not a huge problem. The real issue is that we haven't even taken the first step yet," said Carissa."True. I didn't expect it to be this difficult. Do you think the women's academy will be just as hard?" Violet asked."No, the demand for spots at the women's academy will exceed the supply," Carissa replied.Violet rested her chin in her hand. "Well, alright then. I'm in a bad mood now, so tonight, I'll have my four apprentices train harder."Carissa laughed. "Sage Violet, go ahead and send out the notice. Your apprentices are all eager to learn martial arts."Violet chuckled. "Kevin's the most diligent. That kid is relentless and his progress is fast. He's a great candidate for martial arts. If he had a mentor when he was younger, his skills would be impressive by now. As it is, he's a bit

Chapter 995

So, Barrett really was sticking around the Ministry of Justice of his own volition? That was a rare thing indeed. Who would receive mercy and not leave immediately? Most people would want to get away from there and avoid any bad luck, yet he was still hanging on to the place.What was going on?"Why's he still there?" Carissa asked, genuinely curious now."I don't know. Mr. Lloyd brought the case files today and mentioned that Barrett hasn't said a word since he's been in the confinement room. He only eats one meal a day and just stays there. He originally said he'd only stay for one day, but now... he doesn't want to leave at all," Rafael replied."That's strange. Does he not care about his official position anymore?" Carissa mused, but when she heard it wasn't Salvador's decision, she shifted the topic, asking, "What about what happened during the negotiations? After you reported to His Majesty, didn't he investigate?"Icarus' assassination attempt might have been swept under th

Chapter 996

Max's thoughts were somewhat misguided by Carissa. In truth, Salvador wasn't interested in cleaning up the Garrison Unit just yet.As long as things didn't get out of hand, Salvador was content to leave these small matters be. Balance was key, especially now, when the treason case investigation was ongoing. Though Yuvan and Harvey had both come into his line of sight, the evidence against them wasn't solid yet. If these men were purged too early, it could push Yuvan into taking matters into his own hands.It wasn't uncommon for one person's betrayal to drag down an entire family.Besides, Salvador had deeper ambitions. If he couldn't control the Mystic Army, he would let it rot from the inside. That way, it would be logical for the Nightsteel Guard to take its place, something that would naturally occur once the Mystic Army fell apart.Carissa wouldn't stand by and let these useless men cause chaos in the Garrison Unit. People who held even a modicum of power often abused it, tramp

Chapter 997

Michael's wife, Lucille, had no love for Barrett at all. She had someone bring out just a couple of snacks to go with the drinks before quickly retreating, taking the servants with her. The room still reeked, and she wasn't about to stay and serve him.Barrett drank in silence, barely touching the food. He could see the contempt Lucille had for him, and it only soured his mood. The more he thought about it, the worse he felt."You should eat something," Michael said, breaking the silence. "Stop just drinking. What's going on with you?"Barrett drained his glass in one go, then suddenly collapsed onto the table, his body shaking with quiet sobs. The sound was muffled, like someone pressing a pillow over his face. The sobs were low and strained, barely escaping his chest.Michael fell silent, focusing on his drink and food. Maybe Barrett just needed a place to let it out, though Michael couldn't tell what exactly he was crying about.After a long while, when it seemed no one would o

Chapter 998

By the time Michael realized what had happened and tried to take the wine bottle back from Barrett, most of the contents were already gone. Barrett ended up so drunk that he collapsed, unconscious.Michael couldn't get rid of him—not at all.He cursed himself. What had possessed him to drag such a good-for-nothing back? Drinking this much—Barrett couldn't have drunk himself to death, could he?Frustrated, Michael stormed out and brought in a bucket of cold water, ready to douse him. But when he looked at Barrett—lying there as still as a corpse, his face pale and green—he couldn't bring himself to do it.He shook his head, calling for his servants to prepare a carriage. He would personally take Barrett back to Valor Estate.The ride was rough. Inside the carriage, Barrett vomited wildly. Michael could smell the stench of it from outside as he drove the horses. It was like the foul water of a ditch that hadn't been cleaned in years, mixed with the scent of decay.Fuming, Michael s

Chapter 999

In the royal study, Salvador's brows twitched with barely contained fury as he glared at Barrett, who was kneeling before him. His voice was icily cold."Resign? Have you really thought this through?"Barrett lowered his head, his voice trembling. "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I have failed your expectations and the Sullivan family's. I am ashamed before both."Salvador's anger flared, a headache pounding behind his eyes. "If you know how much I've placed my hopes in you, then you should focus on doing your job well, not throwing a tantrum and resigning!"Barrett bowed his head lower. "Your Majesty, I am not throwing a tantrum. I have come to realize my incompetence and inability to live up to the role of deputy commander of the Nightsteel Guard. I ask for your mercy and understanding."Even Derek couldn't watch any longer. To speak so much about guilt was to question the king's judgment. Was that what Barrett was implying?Salvador's voice grew even colder, "Go reflect on your a

Chapter 1000

Violet had a way of thinking that was a little different from most people. After a moment of silence, she turned to Carissa and asked, "Is it because he's upset the king demoted him and cut his salary? Is that why he's throwing a tantrum and resigning?"She wasn't sure if Barrett was really like that, but she knew she was.Whenever her family or her mentor offered her less than expected, she would dig in her heels and quit, using retreat as a strategy to gain leverage.Seeing the displeasure on Carissa's face, she quickly added, "Let's not talk about him anymore. He's a nuisance. Since the king won't let him resign, there's nothing more to be done. He can't make a fuss."The others nodded in agreement, shifting the conversation to lighter topics. They ate their honey cakes, and when Rafael didn't return, Lulu suggested saving some for him.After everyone left, Violet turned to Carissa and said, "Actually, it might be a good thing if he resigns. A man like him doesn't deserve to be
