Все главы Substitute Queen's Revenge: Глава 11 - Глава 20

In the royal study, George was reviewing some official documents. He suddenly stopped what he was doing, and his gaze turned cold."She wants the gold emblem?"The chamberlain who passed on the message shivered. "That's right, Your Majesty. The queen is outside the palace. She seeks an audience with you for the gold emblem."However, everyone knew the gold emblem was with Helena. Was the queen deliberately asking for trouble?The chamberlain broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that he would be affected by the king's anger.The large screen behind the throne showed glimpses of moving shadows.George’s face turned gloomy. His pupils looked like a falcon’s. They were sharp and dangerous."Tell her I will dethrone her if she continues to make trouble!""As you wish!"-Outside the royal study, Jane's gaze was calm. It was as if she could feel neither anger nor joy that ordinary people felt.After the chamberlain passed on George's message in its entirety, he offered her some advi

Finding a place to bury the body was secondary. Jane's main purpose in sneaking into the palace that night was to scout a few potential hiding spots.She wanted to avoid a repeat of the incident at Cloud Palace—being chased and forced to flee straight back to Zen Palace, inadvertently leading her pursuers there.Lily was still worried.The last time Jane infiltrated Cloud Palace, she ended up getting injured.Would there be any accidents this time?Meanwhile, at Serene Palace, upon hearing that the queen had been put under house arrest, Dina sighed deeply."A man's heart lies where his treasures are."The queen, new to the palace and without solid footing, has yet to win the king's favor. Even if she wanted the gold emblem, she shouldn't have acted so recklessly."Laurel shook her head as well."In my opinion, the only one who could take the gold emblem from Lady Helena would be Rosalie if she were still alive. Her Majesty, the queen, is merely chasing an unattainable dream."

"Get off me!" George's voice was hoarse.During the flare-up of Thiberium poisoning, there were varying degrees of damage to his body. His throat felt as if shards of ice had gouged through it, making his voice raspier and more menacing than usual.Even uttering those three words caused unbearable pain.This woman was utterly infuriating."So, you can speak," Jane remarked, having assumed he was mute.In the next moment, her gaze fixed on his neck, and her expression changed. It was as though she'd stumbled upon something crucial.Jane stared at the silver line on his neck.She had been searching for Thiberium for a long time. To be precise, she was looking for the person who knew how to use it."Who used this poison on you?" Jane asked calmly. There was a slight glimmer in her eyes.George's expression remained dull. It seemed like he wouldn't tell her.Swoosh!He was caught off guard when Jane ripped his shirt open.Just as she expected, the silver line extended to his ch

All Jane knew was what Gloria had told her on the day of her wedding. Now, Candace revealed a lot more information."Ms. Wendy has been vomiting ever since she was sent home. She didn't throw up food scraps but human feces! They had the audacity to force that stuff down her throat! They didn't only rape her. They even used red-hot iron tongs to…! The physician said she won't ever be able to have children!"Not being able to bear children was a disaster for a woman in Nidora.Candace choked up several times and couldn't go on. Eventually, she buried her face in her hands and cried.Jane pursed her lips. She had a murderous look in her eyes. The cramped room was filled with an air of hostility.After a long while, Candace calmed down a little. She knelt in front of Jane again."Your Majesty, do you intend to kill Lady Helena in revenge?"Jane clenched her fists tightly with a cold expression on her face.Candace pressed on, "Your Majesty, when Ms. Wendy was still conscious, she a

George pursed his lips and tried to suppress his anger.The medicine the queen had sent the last time was effective. He had asked the physician to research how to make it. However, there had been no progress due to the lack of a few important ingredients.George had thought the queen was truly kind-hearted, but it turned out she had been waiting. She wanted to use the medicine to get what she wanted from him. If that was her game, so be it!George was annoyed and asked, "What else did she say?" Timothy's forehead was covered in sweat."The queen said that the longer you hesitate, the longer Lady Helena will suffer from the headache. If you don't agree, she won't give you the medicine even if she has to destroy it. She even said that a verbal promise isn't sufficient. She requires a written decree from you."Timothy's limbs were weak. He felt doomed. Was the king going to kill him?After listening to what Timothy said, George's facial expression turned gloomy.There was dead
