"Mistress, I just–" Jocelyn stammered nervously.Marissa quickly grabbed the letters. She recognized them; these belonged to Jane.The envelope was marked with 'My love, Jane'.Marissa's expression became stern and full of reproach. "What are you trying to do? Burn them all?"Jocelyn fiddled with a corner of her shirt, lacking the confidence and boldness she had when commanding troops. She only felt guilty."No, Mistress, you misunderstand. I just thought that if these things were kept, and someone found them in the future, it could tarnish Jane's reputation."Marissa lightly curled her lips, her smile somewhat mocking. "You've certainly thought this through. But Jane treasures them more than anything. You want to burn them, but have you asked for her permission?"Jocelyn shook her head gently, her voice barely audible. "Mistress, I didn't think it through. I just wanted to protect Jane. After all, she is now the queen, and if the king finds out she's secretly promised herself t

Chapter 252

Though Teressa had lived in Mount Yalen for many years, she still had many eyes and ears in the palace."At the Autumn Feast, the queen blocked a fatal arrow for the king but has yet to receive any reward," she said. "I have heard that the king said that as long as the queen speaks, anything can be granted, even the grace of making her brother a marquis. "He could easily grant such a favor. But the queen has not asked for anything so far."Teressa's subtle hint made Rachel understand.The king never spoke lightly. If the queen were to plead for the Markel family, the king would likely agree.Rachel immediately expressed her gratitude and took her leave, heading straight to Zen Palace.-Inside Zen Palace, Rachel knelt, unwilling to rise.Jane sat and sipped on her medicine slowly. Her gaze was as still as a deep well, her face expressionless."Even if you break your legs from kneeling, there is nothing I can do to help you," she said.Someone like Jay wasn't worth saving. Th

At the royal study, the High Court minister reported solemnly, "Your Majesty, the officers found this account book in Jay's residence. It turns out he not only embezzled military funds but also took bribes from the merchants of Cloud City."After defeating the Redstone Tribe, Nidora seized control of Redwood River and issued a ban on ships and trade. However, Jay secretly granted them the privilege of disguising their vessels as official ships, allowing them free passage on the river."The merchants of Cloud City sold purple iron ore to the Redstone Tribe at exorbitant prices, and Jay took a thirty percent cut of the profits."George's gaze burned with wrath.Smuggling purple iron ore. That crime alone was enough for Jay to die ten times over. Having him drawn and quartered would still be letting him off easy.That very day, Jay, who was still imprisoned, was interrogated. Unable to withstand the severe torture, he confessed to everything.According to him, the officials, merchan

Jane stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing when traveling in disguise is to conceal your identity. If you are surrounded by guards and subordinates, it will surely raise suspicion."Some local officials act as tyrants in their regions, with spies everywhere. They are particularly wary of outsiders. I'm afraid that the moment you step into their city, you will become a thorn in their side."If I accompany you, I can pose as your wife. Moreover, my elder brother is well acquainted with many capable fighters. If we encounter danger, they may be able to lend us a hand."Hearing her say 'wife', George's expression tensed slightly.She was so eager to accompany him out of the palace. It was most likely because she was worried about his safety. After all, she had been willing to sacrifice her strength to detoxify him and had even risked her life to shield him from an arrow.At first, he thought it was absurd for the queen to join him on this covert journey.But on s

The room looked quite ordinary at first glance, but the bed was lined with various tools of different sizes. A wooden bathtub was placed beside the bed, surrounded by several bronze mirrors. By the window stood a long bench, shaped like a human figure.Seeing their expressions remain neutral, the innkeeper hurriedly asked, "May I ask, are you two dissatisfied? This room is in high demand!"George replied in a deep voice, "It's fine."Then he signaled Karlsen to hand over the money. Only then did the innkeeper stop worrying and departed happily.After George entered the room, Jane followed him without hesitation. She instinctively blew out the candle that was burning on the table.Noticing George looking over, she said calmly, "My brother once told me that many shady inns use drugged candles."George didn't seem to mind and began scanning the room. Suddenly, Jane pushed him aside."Watch out!"A hidden compartment in the wall had sprung open, launching forward like an arrow.

The boulder would certainly shatter the carriage and crush anyone inside once it struck.Karlsen's shout echoed through the empty valley.Before George could react and step out of the carriage, at his side, Jane moved faster, grabbing his hand and pulling him out.Her reaction was absolutely ahead of Karlsen's, predicting the danger of the falling boulder before it even struck.They leapt from the carriage, and were barely clear before it was smashed to pieces. The frightened horse broke free of its traces and plunged off the cliff.Now, the three of them were trapped between two massive boulders, unable to advance or retreat.Karlsen gripped his sword, standing protectively in front of George, his sharp gaze scanning their surroundings."There must be an ambush nearby!" Karlsen said.George glanced down. The queen was still holding his hand, her eyes just as sharp as Karlsen's as she surveyed their surroundings.But unlike Karlsen, who was defending and protecting the king, J

Jane met George's piercing gaze. "I'm going to look for—"George cut her off coldly, his voice firm. "Stay here. You're not allowed to leave."With that, he passed out. Even so, his grip on Jane was like a corpse frozen in rigor mortis–impossible to pry open.Jane struggled for a long time, forcing his fingers apart one by one before finally freeing herself.A deep red mark was left around her wrist. It was clear just how much strength he had used.-Jane snuck outside, but just as she was about to leave the courtyard, the old couple arrived with a basin of hot water.Catching sight of her, they rushed forward to stop her, their voices filled with unease."Hey! Wait! Young lady, are you leaving?"Jane was momentarily at a loss for words. They had guessed correctly.The old woman spoke again, "You can't leave! If you go and this man… If he doesn't make it, who are we supposed to turn to?"They were afraid she would run off and leave them to deal with this trouble. To be fair,

George's sudden appearance disrupted Jane's escape plan.She remained calm as usual."The mountain path is difficult to traverse. I was looking for someone to ask how to get to town to find a doctor."The child picked up the wicker basket and handed it back to Jane, innocently saying, "Miss, the mountain path is actually quite easy to walk."George's sharp gaze fixed on her, waiting to see how she would explain herself.Jane didn't say much and instead asked them, "Why are you two out here?"The child pointed at George. "Your husband asked me to take him to find you. Miss, you two have such a good relationship, just like my parents. You can't bear to be apart for even a moment!"George had a faint, unreadable smile. "Yes, we certainly do."Jane's gaze darkened slightly.After that, she neither gathered herbs nor went to town. The three of them returned to the farmhouse together.As soon as they entered the house, George suddenly grabbed Jane's wrist, his gaze piercingly cold.

The assassins struck just as Jane tried to rise, but George held her waist down, forcing her to press against him. In the next moment, he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.In the darkness, she couldn't see his face, only sensing the hostility radiating from him.Boom.With a single lift of his hand, a powerful force wave erupted, instantly sending the assassins flying.Thud!Thud, thud!Several bodies crashed to the ground. Realizing the people inside were still awake, the assassins shouted, "Attack together!" But then, a man stepped through the bed curtains.Tall and imposing, he exuded an overwhelming sense of dominance."Attack together?" George echoed, cracking his knuckles. "Perfect. It's been a long time since I've personally killed someone."With a casual but swift motion, he struck an assassin square in the chest. The man collapsed instantly.Jane abruptly sat up. The shattered window let in a rush of cold wind, making the white curtains billow violently. She lif

Jane quickly got up and stormed out of the room, wiping the corner of her lips in disgust. She suppressed the fury in her heart. Her expression was unusually cold.If George wasn't the king, she would have punched him just now.George followed her out, his gaze fixed on her in the darkness. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to face him."If this is a game of playing hard to get, it's time to end it," he said.Jane grew even more frustrated. She controlled her emotions and spoke calmly, "You must be mistaken. I have never played hard to get with you."George's pupils contracted. The grip on her arm tightened involuntarily, his knuckles turning white.He let out a cold laugh."You risked your life to save me. You kept saying you wanted to be my wife."Jane couldn't bear to listen any longer and cut him off directly. "I saved you because of your status, just as a minister would protect his king. Does that mean the royal guards have feelings for you just because they protect you?
