Chapter 321

"Conan, it's been a few days since we last met. How have you been?" Jocelyn asked first with concern.Conan didn't want to resent her, but recalling the hurtful words she had spoken that day, it was difficult to face her with the same admiration he once had."Thank you for your concern, Commander," he replied courteously. "I'm doing well."He had wanted to tell her his mother was dead. That she had perished in agony from hunger and illness.But before he could, she asked, "How did you come to know Henry?"Conan casually made up a lie. "It's just a matter of chance."Jocelyn felt relieved. It seemed he still didn't know Jane's true identity. And Jane, most likely, wouldn't tell him to keep him from being entangled in the matter.She made a pained expression and got to the point."Conan, the reason I refused to take you as my apprentice that day was that I couldn't bear to see you sent to the battlefield to die. Your father and I were good friends. I still can't get over his deat

Chapter 322

The box contained the onyxite horse.Jane was puzzled. Why would George send her this?Steven placed the box holding the onyxite down, recalling how perplexed he had been when the king ordered him to deliver the stone to the forbidden palace. Though rewards from the king were always considered acts of favor, gifting a mere stone seemed rather baffling.At first, he had thought it was because Wendy was skilled in riding and fond of horses, so the king had given her this horse-shaped stone.Then the king had remarked in a deep voice, "The queen's temperament is just like this stone, stubborn and unyielding."Of course, Steven dared not relay a single word of that to Wendy. Instead, he simply smiled and said, "Queen Wendy, King George is thinking of you."Even without knowing the reason behind it, Jane accepted the onyxite. After all, it was a token of Conan's regard for his master.-At the Chief Gatekeeper's residence, Jocelyn locked herself in her room, her expression dark and

Jane needed a token of royal pardon to ensure that if the truth ever came to light in the future, the king would not hold Kennedy accountable. She also knew that to obtain this token of royal pardon, she had to achieve great merit."You don't have to give it to me now," she said. "If you ever encounter a problem you can't resolve, come find me at Safe Haven Pawnshop. Just ask for Henry."With that, she placed a silver coin on the table, picked up the longsword leaning against the chair, and left without a word.Right outside the door, Karlsen happened to meet Henry's gaze as he departed.He had been curious about what the famous Shadow Phantom of the martial world looked like. But the person wore a mask. There was nothing to see.Shortly after, the king emerged as well.Karlsen stepped forward and awaited instructions.George looked ahead and spoke calmly."Free the women who were forced into performing here and send them home.""Yes!" Karlsen placed his hand over his chest an

"I had no idea the forbidden palace could be this lively."George looked at Wendy and Julie, who were embracing each other. His expression was cold and unreadable.Julie was so frightened that she stopped crying. She immediately stood up and, in a fluster, curtsied."Y-Your Majesty!"Jane also rose and curtsied respectfully."Your Majesty."George walked directly to a chair and sat down. His gaze landed on Julie."So? Did you come to the forbidden palace to keep the queen company?"Julie's eyes were red and swollen. She instinctively nodded, but then quickly shook her head.George's eyes turned dark."Well? Was that what you wanted to do?" he demanded.Julie was so terrified that she dropped to her knees with a thud. "Your Majesty, please have mercy. Please allow Queen Wendy to leave the forbidden palace!"George scoffed and looked at Wendy. "You plead so earnestly, but the queen may not even wish to leave."Julie blurted out, "How could that be?"Who in their right mind

Chapter 325

Reunions and separations were part of life.Learning that this was the last time Henry would guide him, Conan felt deeply saddened. But he also knew that sooner or later, he would have to join the army.Henry had taught him a great deal, especially in the art of war, which had benefited him immensely.At their parting, Henry gifted him a spear. Upon receiving the gift, Conan's eyes lit up."Master, how did you know I love spears?"He immediately tried it out and found it an excellent weight and length. The spear sliced through the air and struck the ground with immense force. It felt as if it had become an extension of his body. It was like an extension of his arm.He had never wielded a weapon so perfectly suited to him.Gradually, Conan's eyes filled with excitement. After performing a set of spear techniques, he knelt down at once."Thank you, Master! This is the best gift I have ever received!"He vowed to use this spear to achieve great feats and bring honor to Henry's na

'The great Vivian Rudock?'Before the masked man could even process his shock, his head was already rolling on the ground.Hearing the commotion, Conan quickly got up.Vivian.He had heard that name somewhere before.Not knowing whether the other party was friend or foe, Conan's first instinct was to flee. Suddenly, a chilling breeze swept past him. The next moment, an icy hand clamped around his throat.A woman's sultry yet ruthless voice sounded by his ear. "So, you're Henry's new apprentice?"Did she know his master? Conan remained cautious and didn't answer.The woman chuckled."Quite the tough one, huh? No worries. I've got plenty of time."Her long, talon-like fingers clutched the top of his head. With a sudden force, he felt as though the tendons in his skull were being yanked out. An excruciating pain shot through him.He clenched his jaw, refusing to utter a single cry for mercy.After fifteen minutes, the woman seemed to have grown tired of her game and finally le

Wilhelmina arrived at Zen Palace, only to be told that the queen was resting and not receiving visitors.The situation was already critical, yet the queen could still sleep?Wilhelmina didn't leave. She simply waited.Two hours later, a royal servant finally came with a message."Lady Wilhelmina, Her Majesty is awake. Please come inside to speak with her."Wilhelmina's purpose for coming was simple. She had no intention of hiding anything. After paying her respects to Wendy, she got straight to the point."Your Majesty, do you know that while you've been staying in the forbidden palace, Lady Rachel has been enjoying herself immensely? King George has been giving her the finest tributes from all over the kingdom."Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but even when you were carrying the royal heir, you never received this many rewards. And Lady Rachel just loves flaunting her favor. "She even takes the gifts His Majesty gives her and hands them out to others. If that's not showi

George spoke coldly and solemnly to Wendy."I want you to know that appointing Lady Rachel to assist in managing the harem was Grandmother's decision. It was never my intention!"Jane looked up at him and asked seriously, "So, you disapprove of Lady Rachel?"George's breathing grew slightly heavier.'She might as well be called Wendy the Stone instead of Wendy the queen!'He simply didn't want her to believe the palace gossip that he was favoring Rachel. But on the other hand, if she wanted to misunderstand, then so be it. Why should he bother explaining?"Just pretend I never said anything," George said coldly.-That night, the king's litter arrived at Grace Palace.George exuded a chilling presence, making everyone around him too afraid to speak. Even Rachel remained unusually quiet.After dinner, seeing that the king was about to leave, Rachel gathered her courage and grasped his sleeve.George's expression instantly darkened with displeasure. He turned his head to see R

A lunar eclipse was a rare spectacle. Though there was a curfew in the palace, the patrolling guards were somewhat lax.Jane saw the signal flare from Safe Haven Pawnshop and assumed it was urgent, so she rushed there immediately.The moment she pushed open the door, she sensed something was off. A strange fragrance drifted into her nose in the darkness. Then, she felt a sudden killing intent approaching.Jane swiftly caught the assailant's wrist, blocking the strike. However, the person immediately collapsed into her arms.A soft and curvaceous body pressed against her. It was impossible to shake off."Oh, my dear, I've missed you so much," a sultry voice murmured.Jane sighed inwardly.Trouble had shown up.Valles lit a lamp, illuminating the room. His face was full of guilt, and he dared not look Henry in the eye. After all, he was a traitor who had betrayed the vice leader.Jane mercilessly pushed away the woman in her arms.Vivian rested her chin on her hand with her v

Wendy's letter was simple. It was written in a childlike tone, recounting everyday trivialities. Yet Jane read it for a long time.She knew Wendy had not yet fully recovered. But as long as she could remain this simple and happy, perhaps that was enough.-In Carefree Abode at the northern borders, Wendy sat on the swing in the courtyard. She was wrapped in a silver cloak. She often sat there and stared blankly into the distance for hours.Candace never left her side, while Luke busied himself in the adjoining room, preparing various herbal remedies.There were no outsiders and no disturbances here, only quiet and peace every day.Candace fed Wendy her medicine, and the latter obediently opened her mouth.Wendy never looked at anyone. Her gaze was fixed forward as if trapped in a dream no one could wake her from.Every time Candace saw her like this, her heart ached. If only Wendy had never endured such filth and suffering. She would be so happy now."Miss, would you like to w
