Chapter 291

George's anger was written all over his face, especially in his eyes.Every single concubine in the harem longed for his favor. But Wendy, of all people, wanted it but refused to admit it. She played hard to get in front of him.If she hadn't wanted this, why had she taken the initiative last night?And now, after everything was done, she was putting on this act and making it seem like he had forced her.How could he not be furious?Jane responded seriously, "Your Majesty, it is you who have suffered a loss."The coldness in George's demeanor did not fully fade, but his tone softened slightly, "If you know I've suffered a loss, then you should make it up to me properly. If you do conceive, then it will be a joyous occasion for all."As for those contraceptives, if you dare touch them again, I will kill that ever-loyal maid of yours."He would not tell her that, seeing how drunk she had been last night, he had never actually gone through with it in the end. For once, he had chos

Maya couldn't suppress her curiosity and opened Wendy's letter to her family. Strangely, the contents were nothing more than ordinary words of concern.Why did such a letter need to be secretly sent out of the palace? It seemed completely unnecessary.Then again, perhaps the queen was testing her capabilities to see if she could be trusted with more important tasks. With that thought in mind, she followed the order and secretly delivered the letter to the eastern gate.Someone was waiting there to receive it.Wallace quickly received the letter. At first glance, it seemed like a simple message, but it was encoded in a cipher.Jane often used the 'three-four-one-five' method–circling the third, fourth, first, and fifth words of each sentence in that order would reveal the true message.[Jocelyn has an accomplice. Investigate.]After reading it, Wallace burned the letter.-Meanwhile, in Zen Palace, it was the first day of the new year, and all the concubines had come to pay the

"You have been in the palace for quite some time now," Teressa said seriously. "It wouldn't be appropriate if you went even longer without having served the king in bed."She had intended to arrange this matter earlier, but the king had been unable to perform due to his medical troubles, which had delayed things. Now that he had regained the ability, there was no reason to postpone it any longer. Besides, he had always respected her as his grandmother.Back then, even Wendy had remained a virgin after her wedding. It was only after she had issued a strict order that George had finally consummated their marriage.Rachel's turn to attend to the king was something she had full confidence in arranging.Rachel lowered her gaze, her face tinged with a soft blush, and replied in a gentle voice, "I will do as you please."She appeared docile and obedient, yet a flicker of ambition flashed through her eyes. Entering the palace as a concubine and giving birth to a royal heir had always been

As she heard Jane's order to kneel, Jocelyn hesitated instinctively. But she remained standing.Jane's gaze was cold."When I tell you to kneel, you do not remain standing. As a subject, do you not even understand such basic etiquette?"Jocelyn felt as if something were stuck in her throat. No matter how eloquent she was, she could not defy royal authority.Before this, Jane had always cared for her. She had never made her kneel, or even keep her standing for too long. The stark contrast was hard for her to accept. She remained in place, unmoving.At Jane's command, royal guards entered the chamber.Seeing this, Jocelyn was reminded of the military camp. Jane had been the same there–whenever she called out, soldiers immediately stepped forward to receive orders.This was power.As a commander, Jane had authority. As queen, it had only grown."Jocelyn has spoken disrespectfully to me," Jane said sternly. "Take her outside and make her kneel for an hour."The guards obeyed with

Jocelyn knelt in the bone-chilling wind for thirty minutes. When she saw the king arrive, she immediately turned her head and cast him a helpless look. To her surprise, he didn't spare her a single glance and walked straight into the palace.Jocelyn stared blankly at his departing figure. Her frostbitten fists clenched unconsciously.She knew Jane didn't love George. But what about him? It seemed he liked Jane quite a lot.Still, no matter how much he favored a woman, surely he wouldn't tolerate her meddling in state affairs, nor would he allow her to humiliate a commander who had rendered great service to the kingdom.Upon entering the palace, George dismissed everyone else.Maya gave Wendy one last look, her expression full of exasperation, as if saying, 'See? This is what happens when you don't listen to me.'Jane stood up and curtsied. She seemed neither apologetic nor flustered."Greetings, Your Majesty," she said politely. "Why did you order Jocelyn to kneel?" George's v

Upon hearing that Jocelyn had fainted, George's expression changed slightly. His sharp brows furrowed as he suppressed his anger."A fine thing you've done!" he reprimanded.He immediately ordered for Jocelyn to be carried to the side chamber and summoned a physician to attend to her. At the same time, he issued a strict order to everyone in Zen Palace that the day's events were not to be spread.Not long after, Jocelyn regained consciousness in the warmth of the side chamber.A royal servant was attending to her."Commander Morris, are you feeling better?" the servant asked with concern.Jocelyn didn't actually faint. She had just run out of patience. Now, lying in bed, she feigned weakness."Help me up. I haven't finished kneeling for a full hour yet."Thud.Her legs, seemingly frozen stiff, failed to support her. As soon as she tried to stand, she collapsed back onto her knees.The royal servant hurried to help her up."Commander Morris, please don't worry. His Majesty ha

George held the fragrant pouch between his fingers. He sensed something was amiss.He fixed his gaze on Wendy, not allowing her any sudden movements. Then, in a deep voice, he ordered, "Summon the physician!"Before long, the physician responsible for overseeing the queen's pregnancy, Rudolf, arrived. He was well aware that Wendy was not actually pregnant.The moment he brought the fragrant pouch to his nose, he reached a conclusion."Your Majesty, this is zerumbet ginger. It has properties that promote blood circulation and reduce bruising."So far, that seemed ordinary enough.But then, his expression shifted as he continued, "However, much like musk, if a pregnant woman is exposed to it for long periods, it can affect the fetus, potentially leading to miscarriage or even a stillbirth! "In fact, even ordinary women should avoid wearing such a fragrant pouch."Inside Jane's sleeve, her fingers curled into a fist. It was discovered after all.George's gaze darkened as if all

Jocelyn watched as George left Zen Palace and immediately followed suit.As the Chief Gatekeeper, she was not permitted to enter the palace without a summons. And despite her high rank, her status as a woman meant she was barred from attending court sessions or participating in political discussions.In short, she rarely had the opportunity to see George.She had intended to speak her mind, but when she caught sight of the king's bloodshot eyes and the murderous aura surrounding him, a chill ran down her spine. The king had always given her the impression of being strict and reserved, but never before had he looked this terrifying."What is it?" George's presence was intimidating, and his cold aura drained away the last traces of warmth in the air.Jocelyn quickly composed herself, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a set of weapon designs to present to you!"The cold wind howled, stinging her face.As king, George swiftly pulled himself out of his personal emotions. He to

Jane knew better than anyone that the new rifle might look feasible, but in reality, it was far from simple. What Jocelyn had treated as a treasure and used to claim credit was nothing more than Jane's discarded draft.At that moment, in the Armory Bureau, everyone was gathered around the weapon design, their eyes filled with admiration and excitement."Jocelyn is truly a remarkable woman! To think she could design such an ingenious design!""It's been a long time since we've had something this impressive in the Armory Bureau! Inform the craftsmen–drop everything else and focus on building this new rifle!""I can't wait to see the finished product!"The more they studied the design, the more they admired Jocelyn. A woman of such extraordinary talent was rare. They were fortunate that she was born and raised in Nidora.The new rifle, also known as the fire lance, came in various sizes. Some were just over a foot long, while others stretched up to seven feet.Its design resembled

At Nimble Palace, Wilhelmina was in the middle of getting dressed when she suddenly slammed down the hairpin in her hand. It startled Mia, who immediately dropped to her knees."Your Highness, please calm down!"Wilhelmina gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her expression was filled with complex emotions.Today was her twentieth birthday.Years of worry and sorrow had stripped away the youthful radiance from her face. Now, she had to rely on makeup to restore a semblance of vitality and suppleness.Who would believe it? Though she held the rank of consort, she had never once spent the night with the king. It was one thing for the queen to rise above her, but now, even Rachel–who had been in the palace for less than a year–had surpassed her. And on her birthday, no less.Unwilling to accept it, Wilhelmina asked again, "Did the king really summon Lady Rachel tonight?"The maid remained kneeling while nodding repeatedly."Y-Yes, Your Highness."She knew her mistress was dis
