Chapter 1521

Jeanette didn't notice the subtle smirk tugging at the corner of Calista's lips.The maid had been by her side since her time as a mid-ranked concubine. Smart and composed, Calista often offered Jeanette advice.When Kylie had tried to win Jeanette over, Calista had warned that the queen's repeated house arrests were a sign Salvador no longer favored her. She had suggested Jeanette steer clear of Kylie, who held no authority over the harem, and instead align herself with Grace and Sylvia.Calista had been right. Grace had treated Jeanette well, providing her with everything she needed, making it so no one dared to look down on her anymore.But things had changed.Grace, once a true ally, was now using Jeanette's pregnancy to get closer to Salvador. Jeanette couldn't help but feel uncomfortable about it."Do you not like Lady Grace's visits?" Calista asked as she adjusted the pillows to lift Jeanette's head and back.Long days in bed had begun to wear on her; her back ached from

Chapter 1522

In Tranquil Palace, Cecil sat still in a chair while Phoebe carefully dried his damp hair."You just washed your hair the other day, and now your hair and face are covered in fur after you went out to play with that little raccoon. If this happens again, I'll smack you on the backside," she said with an air of annoyance.The child, with delicate features and bright eyes, leaned into his sister's embrace. He smiled widely and said, "But the little raccoon is so fun and cute! It walks all over me with its little feet, and it's so cozy when I hold it."Phoebe sighed. "Mom said that Dad doesn't like raccoons. You keep telling him about it. No wonder he's been avoiding you lately."Cecil remained perfectly still, letting his sister continue to comb his hair.But he wasn't one to back down, so he said, "Dad and I are two different people. We each have our own likes and dislikes. Just because Dad doesn't like something doesn't mean I can't like it. I really like the raccoon. I love it. N

When Salvador returned to his palace, his mask of composure finally slipped and disappointment etched itself across his face.The lack of evidence didn't mean there was no problem. In the harem, the methods used were often subtle, invisible even.Sebastian had warned him that Jeanette might not be able to carry to term. Even if it did, the child could be born with deficiencies, or worse, could be a fool.Salvador had once considered giving Jeanette a dose of medicine to terminate the pregnancy. But deep down, he hesitated as this might be his last child. He wasn't ready to give up hope just yet and had been willing to take a risk.This time, he was certain that someone had interfered. Recently, he had been frequenting Jeanette's palace more often, and there were those in the harem who resented that.Grace, for all her attention to Jeanette, had been met with ingratitude. Jeanette had become arrogant in her favor, even harboring resentment toward Grace. Salvador had hinted at it to

Chapter 1524

Carissa learned about Jeanette's miscarriage from Rafael.When Adelaide came by to invite her to visit the palace, she agreed. At first, the two women had little to do with each other. But ever since Kendrick and Carissa went to Orivenia together, Adelaide had become quite friendly, saying that sisters-in-law should spend more time together.As Kylie's cousin, Adelaide was a member of the Quinton family. She hadn't visited the queen since she was placed under house arrest, which made Carissa wonder if Adelaide's idea of "spending time together" meant the opposite—stay close if there were no troubles, but avoid each other if there was any.It was much like when Salvador had once been wary of the Hell Monarch's household. Adelaide had kept her distance from Carissa then, fearing any trouble they faced might befall her too.In truth, Kendrick hadn't done much of note. He had only received brief praise from Salvador. But even that one compliment was enough to make Kendrick proud for tw

Chapter 1525

Carissa thought being a king must be incredibly frustrating. The balancing and scheming involved made it feel like nothing was truly in Salvador's control.Right now, Salvador probably wanted to make Connor the crown prince, so Kylie couldn't be involved in this mess. Connor was already a bit mediocre, and if the queen was found guilty of plotting against a royal heir and causing trouble in the harem, his chances of securing the crown prince position would become even more precarious.As for Sylvia, who was directly involved, Salvador couldn't pursue the matter too much out of respect for her father.All in all, this entire affair could never be brought into the open."None of them are easy to deal with." Victoria sighed. "But in the face of absolute power, who wouldn't want to fight for it?"Carissa was about to ask why Victoria was telling her all this, but before she could, the queen dowager said, "You need to be aware of what's happening in the palace. People's hearts are the

A few days later, the lifeless form of a palace maid was carried out of Victoria's palace.That same day, Salvador issued an edict, commanding Sylvia to move out of Tranquil Palace. She was to take Phoebe and Cecil with her and settle in Laurel Palace.Located in the northwest corner of the palace, Laurel Palace was near the Cold Palace. Almost no one went there on normal days.When the edict was delivered, Sylvia was struck dumb. She stood frozen, unable to comprehend for a long time. It was some time before she managed to regain control of herself, though her face was still deathly pale."Pack up," she finally instructed her attendants in a hollow voice.This was it—she and Cecil were completely out of the succession race.Truth be told, she had expected this outcome ever since she learned of Jeanette's miscarriage. She had known this day would come. The dosage she had given Jeanette was small, barely enough to show any immediate effects. She had anticipated that it would take

Sylvia's lips parted in shock. Her mind was in turmoil.Based on Victoria's words, it was clear that they knew the truth, yet had no intention of investigating further.But did Sylvia truly wish for them to pursue the matter?If they did, she would be the first to bear the consequences. Regret settled over her like a heavy cloak. Coming to confess had only cemented her guilt. Lowering herself to the floor, she bowed deeply before stumbling out on unsteady feet.Watching her retreating figure, Victoria thought back to when Sylvia first entered the palace. Back then, she had been strikingly beautiful, with a proud and aloof temperament. After securing Salvador's favor, she had become arrogant, even domineering.Over the past two years, she had learned to restrain herself, but the pride in her bones had never truly faded. And now, just the glimmer of ambition had driven her to this.Power could really drive people to madness.To prevent further complications, Victoria issued an ord

Soon, Victoria issued an edict, stating that Sylvia had been relocated to Laurel Palace so Cecil could recover in peace. Under no circumstances was she to be neglected.With the queen dowager watching over them, the Royal Management Department didn't dare slack in their duties. Sylvia still received food, clothing, and provisions befitting her rank. However, when her family sought an audience with her, they were turned away under the pretense that Cecil's recovery required absolute quiet.Gladys had no choice but to seek out Carissa, hoping she could deliver some money on their behalf. If Sylvia could smooth things over with the right people, perhaps she and the children wouldn't suffer as much.Gladys didn't know whether her daughter had truly been involved in Jeanette's miscarriage, but she did know how difficult life could be for a concubine who had fallen out of favor. The palace was full of people who flattered those in favor and trampled those who had lost power.Even when Ca

There seemed to be no end to the debate over appointing a crown prince. Nearly every morning court session saw officials raising the matter.Finally, on the 18th of December, Salvador made an announcement—he had already chosen a crown prince. However, as the prince was still young, the decision would not be made public just yet. Instead, he had written an edict and secured it high upon a beam in the royal chapel.During a court session, he declared that he alone knew who the crown prince was. According to him, he had not disclosed the decision to anyone, not even to Jeremiah or Rafael. With that, Salvador spared them from further scrutiny.However, it was no great mystery.Connor had long since abandoned his former laziness and arrogance, becoming diligent and eager to learn. His temperament had also grown more refined. Furthermore, Ryan, the future Duke of Northwatch, was his study partner. With all those facts, many believed it was all but certain that Connor was the chosen crown

Lydia had no choice but to try and meet with Connor.However, the study hall was strictly off-limits to unauthorized personnel. If she wanted to see him, she had to wait for the brief moments when he left—either on his way back to Serenity Palace or while heading to the training grounds.Even then, she could only watch from a distance. A swarm of attendants and guards surrounded him at all times, making it nearly impossible to catch more than a fleeting glimpse.On some days, she couldn't see him at all. The royal guards, towering and broad-shouldered, flanked him in two rows. They shielded him so thoroughly that even the tip of his head was obscured.She attempted to bribe them, offering money in exchange for a mere hour of Connor's time. But these men were guards whom Victoria had personally chosen. They were unyielding and incorruptible. Forget silver coins, even gold coins wouldn't tempt them.Victoria had chosen the simplest, most crude method of protection. Even Salvador him
