I Heard My Husband’s System Chapter 8
When Susie opened her eyes again, every royal physician in the room gasped in shock.Her hand gradually grew warm. Color returned to her pale face.One physician examined her again and again, unable to believe what he was seeing.“Her Highness’s heartbeat is growing stronger. This is… This is a miracle!” Ignoring their astonished stares, I ordered loudly, “Spread the word. Princess Susie has been saved by divine grace and brought back from the dead.”The physicians hurried out, but Susie never took her eyes off me.I held her hand and told her what had happened after Ned died, how the system had reassigned itself to me.“What about Quinn?”“He’s dead. I traded his life for yours.”Susie was silent for a long time.“But Quinn had already agreed to marry you…”“So what?”I cut her off.“Was I supposed to surrender control of my family’s army, along with both our lives, to another man, hoping he would treat us kindly once the crown was safely his?”Susie stared at me.“Qui

After Josephine’s defeat, she was taken to death row.With Mrs. Shaw’s testimony and Josephine’s public confession that she had exchanged the infants, Susie was soon officially recognized as a member of House Vaughan. The king remained unconscious.The royal physicians said that he had been poisoned. Even if he survived, there was no telling when he would regain consciousness.The kingdom could not remain without a ruler.Having put down the coup as a prince, backed by the emergency order signed by House Vaughan, Quinn was soon appointed regent.Father and John supported the decision. “Quinn may have been convicted of treason, but with the king unconscious, there’s no one better suited to rule in his place. Our family helped him return to power, and he needs our army. For now, at least, our interests align.”I did not object.On Quinn’s first day as regent, someone invoked his former conviction for treason and demanded that he be imprisoned again.The entire court waited to

Footsteps came to a halt outside our cell.The head jailer pulled out his keys, while the men behind him drew their swords in unison.“Lady Josephine has given the order. Overcome by guilt, Florence Kirke and Susie Pugh took their own lives!”They had not come to question us. They were here to kill us.The moment the cell door opened, I seized the bowl of medicine from the floor and smashed it into the first man’s face.Susie lunged for the keys, but one of the men kicked her to the ground.His sword plunged toward her chest.“Stop!”A squad of royal constables suddenly charged in and knocked the attacker aside.Susie’s adoptive father, Lawrence Pugh, hurried down the stone steps and personally unlocked our shackles. “There’s been a coup at the palace. Lady Josephine poisoned the king and sealed the gates. She also issued orders in His Majesty’s name for the arrest of everyone in the Kirke family. “When these men arrived carrying badges from Rosewood Palace, I knew somethi

By the time Susie awoke, it was already the following afternoon.She rested against the wall. Her face was devoid of color.“Florence, I’ve only dragged you down with me.”“Shut up. Save your strength.”I handed her the medicine the royal physician had left behind.There was not even a brazier in the cell. The medicine had been sitting out for only a short while, yet, it was already stone cold.Susie managed two sips before she began coughing again.On the third day, John found a way into the royal dungeons.I had not seen him in days. His eyes were bloodshot.He stood outside the cell for a long moment before setting down the basket of food. “Father is working to clear your names. The conspiracy at the military exercise is being investigated again. If we can prove that Josephine bribed the deputy commander, you and Susie may still be exonerated.”I gathered my thoughts before giving him two instructions. “John, I need you to do two things. First, keep searching for a phy

So, Ned had come back in time as well.First, came my sudden refusal to marry him, followed by Susie publicly producing his signet ring at the garden party.One after another, we both made choices that differed from those we had made the first time around. Ned could not possibly have failed to notice.The record of Josephine’s confinement was the very evidence Susie had uncovered when she learned the truth about her birth the first time around.Once Ned realized that we had returned as well, he must have had the record replaced in advance.The king was beside himself with rage.“Take them away! You will both answer for this with your lives!”The royal guards dragged Susie and me from the hall.As we passed Ned, he said quietly, “You’ve lost this time, Flo.”No matter what I said, I could never clear myself of the charge of forging royal records.Ned had truly defeated me.However, just as we were about to be dragged from the hall, a royal attendant hurried in, visibly alarme

Susie looked down at her hands. Her fingertips were trembling slightly.“Not long after you died, I suddenly recovered. Ned made me his royal consort. He promised to make it up to me for all the years I’d suffered. “After I became pregnant, I learned that I was the daughter Josephine had secretly sent away from the palace as an infant.”Ned had no royal blood. He needed Susie alive so that she could bear him a child of the true Vaughan bloodline.“I tried to escape and tell the rest of House Vaughan the truth.”Susie’s voice grew quieter.“But as soon as the baby was born, he had someone bring me a glass of poison. I begged him to spare me, but he said I was no longer of any use to him.”She looked up again. Her eyes were moist with tears.“He married you to gain control of your family’s army, and he kept me alive to bear an heir of royal blood. Florence, he never loved either of us.”Staring at her pale face, I was reminded of the goblet of poisoned wine Ned had set before m
