Chapter 211

George suddenly stood up, his voice low and hoarse, "Prepare to return to Tyrian Palace."Without another word, he left Zen Palace.Jane watched him leave, her gaze cold and steady.Confused, Lily asked, "Your Majesty, what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly leave?"Jane remained silent.-At midnight, the lights in Faith Palace flickered to life.George sat inside and waited for an hour.As the night grew late, Karlsen spoke. "Your Majesty, it seems she won't come…"Suddenly, two knocks sounded from outside.Karlsen's eyes lit up. Could it be her?George glanced at him, and Karlsen immediately opened the door.However, the person outside was not the woman they expected—it was a young chamberlain.Seeing the king inside, the chamberlain immediately dropped to his knees, trembling."Y-Your Majesty… Greetings, Your Majesty!"George's gaze darkened.Karlsen immediately questioned him, "Why are you here?"The chamberlain stammered, "I-I was passing by Faith Palace and

George wasn't particularly sensitive to smells. Even if he had caught a whiff of that female assassin's scent, it had been faint—something he'd forget in an instant.He had indeed grabbed the female assassin's neck and wrists before, but his hands weren't measuring tools. He couldn't possibly know just from touch alone.Besides, a woman's wrist size didn't vary much. Estimating it by touch alone wasn't that precise.So, he had only been trying to scare her. This tactic worked on others.But who was Jane?She was battle-hardened, having interrogated countless spies. She knew every trick in the book.If George was truly certain she was the assassin, he wouldn't have gone in circles like this. The only clue he had was that nine-section whip.Her expression remained calm, exuding an effortless composure."I can explain. Apart from Lily, I had another female secret guard who entered the palace with me for protection. Those things belong to her."George's gaze turned cold. "Secret

The city gates stood wide open, and the streets were packed with people as the triumphant army returned home. Citizens lined the roads, craning their necks in anticipation."Where is Commander Morris? Which one is he?""He's the one riding at the front!""Why is he still wearing a mask? We can't even see what he looks like!""You don't understand—Commander Morris is too handsome, so he wears a mask to conceal his face and enhance his presence.""No, it's because he has a scar and is too hideous to show his face!"Speculations spread among the crowd but were soon drowned out by the sea of voices.The much-discussed Stanley was, in fact, Jocelyn in disguise. From her elevated position on horseback, she gazed down at the citizens. Along the way, wherever they passed, the people welcomed her with open arms.At the northern borders, some even knelt by the roadside, bowing in gratitude."The northern borders cannot do without Commander Morris!""Commander Morris is truly a god of w

The next day, the officials gathered at the palace for the victory banquet.The king and queen sat at the main seats, while the concubines were seated according to their ranks. However, the real highlight of the banquet was the arrival of the commanders.Jocelyn walked at the forefront, leading the other commanders to perform a salute."Long live Your Majesty!"George raised his hand, the wide sleeves of his robe trailing down. "You may all rise."It was clear to everyone that the king's admiration for Stanley was undisguised.After Jocelyn stood, her gaze met Jane's.Jane recognized her as well. The two exchanged barely a glance before naturally looking away.Wilhelmina had personally organized the victory banquet. It was proper and respectable, if somewhat mediocre.There were dancers to liven the atmosphere and music to accompany the wine. With beauties and fine liquor, the returning soldiers could wash away their exhaustion. They ate and drank freely, without restraint.W

Julie's face was pale, but when she heard Wendy speak, her eyes filled with hope.Wilhelmina, on the other hand, looked at Wendy with ill intent. At this moment, if the queen were to help Julie refuse to dance, it would be a grave insult to the thousands of soldiers present.Whilhelmina taunted, "Your Majesty, do you mean to say that the soldiers are unworthy of seeing Lady Julie's drum dance?"Jane ignored Lady Wilhelmina and instead addressed George respectfully. "Your Majesty, how about using the Celestial Drum?"The Celestial Drum was used in spiritual ceremonies. As its name implied, it communicated with the gods through its sound, whether for prayers or to fulfill a vow.At a glance, it looked no different from an ordinary drum, but its specially crafted drumhead made its sound far more resonant.The soldiers who guarded the border had never seen a Celestial Drum before and found it novel.George's brows furrowed. "What do you mean, Wendy?"Jane elaborated, "I prayed for

Jane's expression remained calm."When fate aligns, anything is possible," she said.Conversely, without fate, nothing would come to fruition. Yet, the elder ministers took this as a promise and smiled in satisfaction.George turned his head slightly, the corner of his lips curling in a subtle smirk.Wilhelmina clenched her handkerchief tightly, her eyes practically burning with fury. She had organized the victory banquet, yet all the attention had been stolen by the queen and Julie.Rachel appeared indifferent as she observed everything, her gaze relaxed and unruffled.The atmosphere seemed harmonious, but beneath the surface, unseen tensions brewed.After several rounds of drinking, a commander suddenly stood up and publicly challenged Jocelyn."Commander Morris, your martial skills are renowned. Would you dare spar with me?"The crowd erupted in excitement."To witness Commander Morris in action—what a treat for us all!""Your Majesty, why not set up a ring and let anyone

Snap!The mask fell to the ground, Stanley's true identity exposed before everyone's eyes.A wave of shocked exclamations erupted from the crowd."Look! That's clearly a woman!"Although Jocelyn was dressed in men's clothing and had tied up her hair, her face left no room for doubt. The legendary hero of Nidora was actually a woman.The men instantly felt a sense of humiliation, as if they had been betrayed. The person they had revered and admired all this time was a woman. Not only were the onlookers stunned, but even Saul was utterly shocked.'Stanley's actually a woman!'Seated among them, Richard's expression changed as well—he couldn't believe his own eyes. How could that young commander turn out to be a woman?Jane remained seated, her gaze fixed on Jocelyn. The mask had been torn off just like that.For a brief moment, panic flashed across Jocelyn's face. She immediately reached out to pick up the mask.Saul reacted swiftly, kicking it away.Then, he turned to the kin

Not long after, the maid in charge of the examination came to the grand hall to report."Your Majesty, that woman does indeed have a knife wound on her abdomen, inflicted recently, and there are traces of residual poison. Moreover, we found the commander's seal on her."The commander's seal—especially the Falcon Command Token—was enough to confirm Jocelyn's identity.If the real Stanley were still alive, or if Kennedy had merely sent someone to impersonate his son, there was no way he would hand over something as important as the commander's seal to her.No matter how unwilling the people present were to accept it, they had no choice but to do so.Lily stood behind Jane, attending to her. She was one of the few who knew the truth and was momentarily stunned.Jocelyn was truly remarkable—even her wounds could be faked. But with this, George would stop investigating, and Jane would be safe.Yet, for some reason, Her Majesty's expression looked rather unpleasant.From beginning to

Jocelyn had received the king's grace, but she still couldn't help but ask uneasily, "Your Majesty, will Kennedy and Marissa be spared from all punishment?"George's expression turned slightly cold.Jocelyn had impersonated Stanley—the Morris couple couldn't have been completely unaware. After all, that was their own son. But as a ruler, sometimes one must feign ignorance."I bestow upon you the surname of Morris. From now on, Jocelyn will be Kennedy's adoptive daughter, and the Morris family may continue their lineage."Hearing this, Jocelyn's eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She looked overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. "Your Majesty, I swear to serve my country with loyalty and devotion!"The court officials immediately understood that bestowing the Morris surname was a means to preserve the prestige of 'Commander Morris.' It was a reward for the Morris family. However, anyone wishing to marry Jocelyn would have to marry into the Morris family, making things complicated.

Jocelyn looked innocent, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Jane, I didn't-"Jane tightened her grip, making it hard for Jocelyn to breathe."Do you have any idea what will happen if Grandma finds out? Jocelyn, Master and Mistress have raised you for more than ten years—where is your conscience?""Jane, I really didn't mean to remove the mask." Jocelyn coughed, choking.Just as she was about to suffocate, Jane suddenly let go.Jocelyn leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, looking at Jane with tearful eyes. "Jane, I know you blame me for taking the credit that was originally yours, but believe me, I really did it to protect everyone!"Jane turned her back on Jocelyn, afraid she might go easy on her. "Go back to the northern borders and confess to the Master and Mistress yourself!" she ordered.The position of commander had never interested her. She had originally disguised herself as Stanley only for Leia Morris, Stanley's grandmother.Jocelyn's greatest mistake was bringin
