Chapter 21

After the king left, Helena's maid, Clara, became deeply worried."Your Highness, if the queen truly gains the king's favor, your position in the palace will not be unique," she said.Crash!Helena threw a vase near her bed, and it broke into pieces.Clara immediately gathered up the pieces and knelt on the ground. "Please calm down, Your Highness!" she begged.Helena sat sideways on the bed, clutching the mattress with one hand. Her eyes were gloomy. She stared ahead as she screamed in a frenzy, "How could the king favor her?!"The queen had long lost her virginity. How dare she brazenly compete with her? She was over-estimating herself.-Meanwhile, several other concubines gathered in one place.They had never been favored by the king and were not as angry as Helena. However, they still felt affected by this."Ahh! In the end, the queen proves to be capable. The king actually agreed to her demands."Julie, who had always sided with Helena, couldn't stand it and started mo

Chapter 22

George's dark eyes radiated chills as he looked coldly at the woman in front of him.Julie was kneeling on the bed in very thin pajamas.Whether it was due to the cold spring evening or the king's anger, Julie shivered uncontrollably with her head hung low."I-I'm Julie. We met in Lady Helena's palace…" She barely managed to finish her sentence. Her throat felt dry and constricted.Despite his perfectly calm tone, George's handsome face had a coldness that terrified her from the bottom of her heart."Where is the queen?" he asked again.The air around them felt thinner and thinner. Julie could hardly catch her breath. "Your Majesty, the queen arranged for me to serve you in bed," she said.At the commotion, Steven came in without being summoned. He happened to overhear what Julie said and was flabbergasted. Wasn't the queen supposed to be waiting for the king in bed?What was she doing? Was she playing hard to get?In reality, Julie was also surprised. She never thought she'd

Lily thought it was strange that George would suddenly come to Zen Palace."What is he doing here?" she asked.Maya looked at her as if she was a foreigner. "Are you truly oblivious?" she asked. "Our queen went all out to get the king to sleep with her, but she ended up sending Lady Julie in her place. "Isn't it clear that she was making a fool out of the king? The king is the leader of our nation! How could he tolerate this?" Then Maya addressed the queen, "Your Majesty, hurry up and get changed. Our lives are in your hands!"Jane was confused. "When did I say I wanted to sleep with him?"Maya was equally confused. Was the queen mad? Or had Maya misunderstood her?However, Maya wasn't the only one who thought this way.After all, everyone in the palace fought for the king's attention. Who would convince the king to sleep with someone else except a fool?-Evidently, Maya wasn't the only person who got it all wrong.In the middle of the night, many of the concubines who co

How could it be him?Jane's eyes narrowed. Her hands felt warm. He looked identical to the man she had fought.No. To be specific, they were one and the same.They had the same handsome face, the same dark eyes, and the same imposing manner…The first time they fought, she had assumed that he was one of the palace's royal guards. In reality, it had been the king himself, George.However, she was surprised that the king, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, actually had such strong martial arts capabilities.Even though Jane recognized George, he had no idea that she was the same assassin he had fought against before."Are you just going to keep staring at me?" George asked in an unfriendly tone.Jane immediately collected her thoughts and looked down. "Please excuse me for being impolite."Although she seemed calm on the surface, she was still in shock on the inside.This was the first time George looked at her face at such a close distance in good lighting.The la

Strangled by the neck, Jane's face gradually turned red."These things were mentioned in a letter from my family-" she gasped."A letter from your family?" George naturally didn't believe her. He commanded her to show him the letter.Outside, Maya was dumbfounded. Where would they find such a letter?She turned around…And almost screamed in fright as she found Lily had returned silently behind her. She saw something in her hand, but couldn't tell what it was.Lily ignored the petrified Maya and quickly walked into the bedchamber. "Your Majesty, this is the letter the queen's father sent today," she said.George let go of Jane and personally read through the letter.The letter was written in the tone of a father speaking to his daughter."My dearest Wendy, you previously told me that you wanted to be a responsible queen by treating the other concubines as you would your own sister. I was very glad to hear that. As such, I've gathered some information for you. I hope it'll be o

Jane slowly looked up. There was a calm look of indifference in her eyes."Your Majesty, I previously spoke out of turn and made you angry. I'm still repenting over my mistakes. I don't deserve to serve you in bed," she replied.George's cold gaze concealed a certain degree of threat. "You seem to have a lot of self-awareness. Prepare the carriage. We're heading to Cloud Palace."-After the king left, Lily went limp and leaned against the table."Your Majesty, that nearly gave me a heart attack-"Lily looked around and saw that nobody else was around."Your Majesty, since the king didn't sleep with Lady Julie, your plan to ruin Lady Helena's monopoly over his favor has failed."Not only that, but you also offended the king and increased the tension between yourself and Lady Helena as well as Lady Julie. Doesn't that put us in an even more precarious situation?" Lily asked worriedly.Jane didn't think they failed."Lady Julie and Lady Helena are close. Logically speaking, if

Julie was pleasantly surprised. She immediately dried her tears and went out to have a look.When she saw the gold screen, she immediately felt better.Her maid took a guess."Your Highness, I heard the king went to Cloud Palace after leaving Zen Palace. Lady Helena must have said something nice to the king, and he decided to give you a gift. You ought to thank her!"Julie nodded vigorously."Yes. Lady Helena is genuinely nice to me, unlike the queen!"She fumed at the thought of Wendy. She was determined to get her revenge.-There was silence in Tyrian Palace in the middle of the night.Whoosh.George brushed the bed curtain aside with his hand. He felt restless.A glimmer of moonlight seeped into the room. George sat on his bed with his robe wide open, revealing his chiseled chest.He clapped a hand to his forehead, rubbing his fingers against his eyebrows impatiently.He couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about his conversation with the queen in Zen Palace.Something wa

Helena thought she had misheard. Why would George go to Julie's residence?Timothy continued, "It's exactly what happened. Lionel sent word that you don't have to wait for the king. His Majesty will be having dinner at Lady Julie's residence."Helena felt uncomfortable. She frowned a little.However, she convinced herself that even if they had dinner together, George wouldn't sleep with Julie. He definitely wouldn't…Helena couldn't let something minor like this affect her. Other people would make fun of her.-All the other concubines were shocked when they heard that the king was spending the night with Julie.Wilhelmina was especially angry. She smashed a bowl on the spot."How long has Lady Julie been in the palace? Why does she get to serve the king in bed before I do?" she fumed."Your Highness, the king only went to Lady Julie's residence because he heard about her father's successes in war. Perhaps he was just doing it to showcase his generosity," Mia said carefully.

It was midnight.Zoom.An arrow thudded into the door of Tyrian Palace. Royal guards rushed out all at once."There's an assassin!"In the bedchamber, George was in his pajamas. His long hair made his face appear even more handsome."What is it?" he asked.Steven carefully approached the king, holding the arrow with both hands. A note was attached to the shaft."Your Majesty, the assassin left this behind!"George reached out to grab the note with long, strong fingers. He read the note under the candlelight.[Meet me at Clarion Palace at the stroke of midnight for your cure.]His eyes widened, and the note turned into dust in his hands."How dare she show up?"It seemed the queen had figured out his identity. She had the audacity to send him a note in Tyrian Palace.Steven was confused. Who was this person? Did the king know the assassin personally?-The next evening, secret guards surrounded the abandoned palace, Clarion Palace, with more stationed inside, waiting for

George grabbed one of Jane's shoulders and one of her hands. He was a man after all, and he was very strong. It was hard to break free from him."Guards!" he called out.The royal guards stationed outside rushed in."Capture the assassin!" he commanded.Seeing that they were about to apprehend her, Jane raised a knee to kick George in the crotch.George dodged to the side, and his grip on her shoulder loosened. In a high-level fight, being careless was unacceptable.Just as he loosened his grip, Jane threw in a surprise attack by pulling off the belt around his waist…Swoosh.The royal guards reflexively turned away so as not to catch a glimpse as George's pants fell down.George let go of her with one hand to grab his pants, managing to prevent them from slipping off. However, the act to protect his dignity meant he had only one hand left on Jane.Being outnumbered always resulted in a disadvantage. It was the same as one hand against two.Like a slippery eel, Jane immediat
