Chapter 351

Karlsen saw that Henry was seriously injured and wanted to step forward to help. But he was the king's guard and should prioritize the king's safety. He stepped back."Henry, do you need me to find a doctor for you?"Karlsen was truly one of George's men. Just like George, he lacked any form of compassion. Henry was already badly injured. Of course, he needed a doctor.Jane spoke in a weak voice. "Tell His Majesty that the task he entrusted to me has been completed."As she spoke, she handed over a bamboo tube.Karlsen immediately turned and went inside to report, leaving the door open."Master, Henry has returned!"Inside, George had not yet gone to sleep.

Chapter 352

In the royal study, Mary carried herself with a regal aura. Her brows were slightly arched, and her face was adorned with the latest makeup style. Her slender eyes held an intense, piercing gaze.Thornhaven was dry and rainless, and the once-delicate texture of her skin had turned rough and sallow. Her face, now thin and haggard, bore a sharpness that made her appear harsher than before."Your Majesty, when I was sent away in marriage, you promised that you would grant me one request in the future. All these years, despite the inhuman suffering I endured in Thornhaven, I never asked for anything."Now, I beg you. Please release Commander Morris."George's expression remained indifferent as he asked directly, "Do you have a past acquaintance with her?"Why else would she inquire about Jocelyn the moment she returned?Mary's gaze grew distant as she recalled the past."Back then, I could not bear the humiliation and fled from Thornhaven, escaping to the northern borders of Nidora.

Despite Wendy's composed expression, George could still tell that she was in a foul mood over his decision to release Jocelyn.Once Mary had left, he descended from the throne and stood before Wendy, dropping his royal demeanor as he spoke to her in an even tone."When I first ascended the throne, internal strife had not yet settled, and external threats loomed. It was my sister who sacrificed herself by marrying into Thornhaven. I owe her.""I understand." Wendy lowered her gaze to the floor. Her expression was unreadable.Her indifference made George feel that she had not understood him. So, he added, "Consider it a broken promise. Besides, I've thought about it. Jocelyn has been imprisoned long enough. As queen, you ought to be magnanimous."She betrayed your whereabouts at the time, failing in loyalty to you, but as a subject, reporting the queen's location in a timely manner was an act of duty. To appease you, I transferred her from the northern borders to the Royal City and

At Serene Palace, Dina held her long-absent daughter in her arms. Her eyes brimmed with tears."Mary! My child, you've finally returned. I have been thinking of you day and night. The heavens have finally shown mercy and brought you back to me."Wilhelmina sat beside them, just as overjoyed. She wiped her tears emotionally."Mary, Aunt Dina has been thinking about you all this time. You should have returned long ago. Aunt Dina has been unable to eat or sleep peacefully, and I was worried too. We were afraid that Thornhaven would go back on their word. Thank goodness you've returned safely."Mary straightened up. Her eyes were red, yet there were few tears. During her years in Thornhaven, she had cried until there were no more tears left."Mother, after the old king of Thornhaven died, his son took the throne, and I became the dowager queen," she said. "But that beast still tried to take me as his own!"Dina's expression darkened instantly, fury surging within her."What! How dar

It was already dusk when Mary made her way to see George. She encountered a woman on the journey.That woman did not seem to be from the palace. But Mary was in a hurry to get to the royal study and paid no attention to the stranger.The woman suddenly curtsied to her and said, "Your Highness, I am Jocelyn, your humble servant."Mary halted. She then looked at the woman before her in disbelief. Her thoughts instantly returned to the past.When she first arrived in Thornhaven, the old king had doted on her. But within two months, he had a new favorite.

Jane was completely unaware that she had fallen asleep in the royal study. She curtsied to George."Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."As for what Mary had just said, she simply acted as if she hadn't heard it.George looked at her, hesitating to speak. Ultimately, he let her go.Once Wendy had left, Mary righteously declared, "Your Majesty, give me some time, and I will surely uncover the evidence of her false accusations against Commander Morris!"There was more than one way to skin a cat.The queen couldn't possibly be innocent. Mary had to expose her true nature before she could harm Jocelyn again.-At the Chief Gatekeeper's residence, Jocelyn had gathered information from multiple sources and learned about the events of the past."So, yet another debt of gratitude," she murmured to herself.Jocelyn scoffed coldly.Jane really did have a habit of saving people. However, she doubted Jane would dare to reveal the truth to Mary.Mary was still a useful piece on the boa

Under Mary's persistent questioning, Jocelyn finally 'reluctantly' revealed that the queen had once escaped from the palace.Mary was shocked upon hearing this."Such a thing actually happened?"'Utterly outrageous!'Jocelyn deliberately offered to explain."Her Majesty was just acting on impulse. She was upset that His Majesty still had Lady Rosalie in his heart. Women, after all, have a bit of jealousy in them."Mary sneered angrily. "To act so recklessly, what does she take His Majesty for? And what does she take the status of queen for? She's behaving like a concubine. Absolutely disgraceful!"Jocelyn quickly glanced around and cautiously said, "Your Highness, very few people know about this, and His Majesty has forbidden those aware of it from spreading the word. I was wrong to speak of it to you."Mary patted her shoulder."I know you're loyal. The queen is probably jealous because you're a woman who has earned His Majesty's favor. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let

Jocelyn's crimes related to Wendy and Drakonas Squadron were unforgivable. Jane would never forgive her. But in the face of national interests, personal grievances could not take precedence over the greater good.If Jocelyn lost the duel, it would be a great loss for Nidora.Before the match began, Jane sent Lily to warn Jocelyn to be extra cautious, especially against Wesselham's famed dual-blade techniques.Jocelyn dismissed the warning."Go back and tell Her Majesty that she doesn't need to worry. I will win."Jane was underestimating her.-The duel was ready to begin in the afternoon. Nidora's officials were all present, along with several foreign envoys acting as witnesses.Jane and Mary also arrived.George wasn't surprised that Mary cared about this matter, but he hadn't expected the queen to be this invested as well. He ordered a seat to be arranged for Jane beside him.Jane's attention was fixed on the combat platform, her expression solemn and focused.Jocelyn wie

As soon as Lymane fell, Jocelyn lunged forward, using all her strength to drive her elbow into her opponent's abdomen.Lymane immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, her body jerking upwards before crashing back down. Her blades slipped completely from her grasp.A brief silence followed before someone suddenly shouted, "S-She won!"Mary instantly relaxed, her face breaking into a delighted smile as she looked at Jocelyn. Jocelyn hadn't let her down after all.The officials from Nidora all let out sighs of relief."I really thought we were going to lose. My heart was about to jump out of my chest.""Losing was never an option. That's Jocelyn we're talking about!"Jocelyn stood atop the stage, raising her hand in victory. She turned toward Jane, radiating the confidence of a champion.At that moment, Jane was also looking at her. A glint of anger appeared in her eyes. Jocelyn's punch alone wouldn't have been enough to knock someone out. That left only one possibility. Jocely

From his elevated seat, George appeared solemn and imposing. His gaze carried an air of dominance over all as he spoke with clear authority."As of today, Jocelyn has won thirteen battles without a single defeat, a true heroine whose achievements have contributed greatly to the nation. Therefore, I bestow upon her a token of royal pardon as a mark of commendation."Furthermore, let it be known throughout Nidora that any soldier, regardless of background or gender, who possesses talent shall take Jocelyn as an example. Let them strive for greatness, for nobility is not determined by birth."Jocelyn was overjoyed. She immediately expressed her gratitude, fearing the king might change his mind."Your Majesty, I humbly thank you for your grace!"Mary, too, was genuinely happy for her and turned to George with a gratified smile."Your Majesty is wise! I believe this will comfort our soldiers and inspire them to fight for you and for Nidora with unwavering loyalty."Among the seated,
