Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 303: Provocation
As dusk fell and a cool breeze swept through the splendid royal gardens, Miranda and the Queen “chanced” to meet.The Queen’s gaze narrowed slightly when she saw the girl before her—so pure and radiant, like a dewdrop on a pearl at dawn. Those piercing, hateful words echoed once again in her mind, stabbing at her heart like needles and knives. A flash of murderous intent crossed her eyes. And when she beheld Miranda’s youthful beauty, that flawless, smooth skin, and thought of her own advancing years—years that no amount of care or ointment could conceal—the venomous serpent of jealousy slithered wildly through her heart, gnawing at her soul."Your Majesty," Miranda said gracefully, curtsying with elegance.The sound of her voice, clear and melodious like birdsong or pearls falling on jade, only inflamed the Queen’s anger. She longed to tear Miranda to pieces, but a glance at the young eunuch at Miranda’s side—an attendant of the Dowager Queen—checked her impulse. Taking a breath, the

In the royal palace gardens, the lotus leaves spread broad and green like shields upon the water, and from among them rose blossoms of white and the softest pink—graceful, unsullied, and proud. Their delicate fragrance mingled with the fresh scent of the leaves, carried on the gentle mist rising from the pond, filling the air with a sweetness that lingered on the breeze and stirred the heart.The summer wind bore that fragrance to the shaded arcade, where Reginald reclined amid the dappled light, hidden by trees. With animated gestures and dry wit, he recounted to Miranda the splendid array of expressions that had played across the Eldridge envoy’s face. His tale brought bright laughter from her lips, a sound so rare and pure that it swept the usual calculation from her gaze. In that moment, her eyes shone clear as a mountain spring, and her face, lovely beyond compare, seemed to glow with a light of its own—as though a thousand blooms had burst into flower, or a perfect pearl caught t

The king, who had been silently observing all along, finally spoke, letting out a cold snort, his expression filled with displeasure. “Envoy of Eldridge, since remnants of your nation’s forces dared to pursue their prey all the way to the capital of Drakeland, why did you not inform us? And you insisted on refusing our offer of protection—now that something has happened, you come to us in such an overbearing manner demanding explanations? With conduct like this, I truly doubt the sincerity of your peace negotiations. To claim Eldridge is full of goodwill—hmpf, what a joke!”The king had always been reserved, rarely showing emotion, let alone anger. Such visible fury was a rare sight. The officials, who had moments ago been glaring at each other, instantly fell silent. Not a sound could be heard as they held their breath, not daring to so much as exhale loudly.Feeling the weight of the atmosphere, the Eldridge envoy hurriedly lowered his head, no longer daring to act arrogantly.“Envo

Derek was left speechless, unable to refute the accusation, and could only fall into sullen silence.At that moment, Reginald, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke. “It is fortunate that Envoy Eldridge has come today. As it happens, I have a matter I wish to consult you about. Two nights ago, assassins infiltrated the royal palace, leaving many dead and wounded. I wonder, Envoy, what is your view on this incident?”The moment those words were spoken, several faces in the room subtly changed expression.Envoy Eldridge’s heart skipped a beat, but he forced a defiant front. “An assassination in your palace—what has that to do with our delegation?”“Ordinarily, it would have nothing to do with you. The assassins either escaped or committed suicide by poison. Not one was left alive. But the dead can speak as well as the living. I examined the bodies myself and discovered that the forging technique of their swords does not originate from Drakeland. Rather, it bears striking res
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 299: War of Words
When Charles claimed he bore primary responsibility, Deputy Envoy Eldridge looked baffled. “What has that to do with me?”“Don’t take me for a fool,” sneered Charles, his tone dripping with scorn. “The commander of the escort assigned to your envoy delegation—rumor has it he’s your son-in-law, is he not? It was you who urged the Third Prince to reject the protection offered by Drakeland, insisting instead on using your own escort for the safety of the mission. The real aim, of course, was to give your son-in-law a chance to impress the prince with his skill in guarding dignitaries, to earn himself honors and rise swiftly through the ranks.”“Successes go to your family,” the Minister scoffed, “but if anything goes wrong, you expect Drakeland to answer for it? What kind of game are you playing? Do you think the world runs on such convenient terms?”“You’re spouting nonsense!” Eldridge snapped, his voice trembling with indignation.It was true—the commander in question was indeed his so
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 298: Who's Responsibility?
Upon hearing the Queen Dowager's words, Margaret was rendered speechless. She could no longer defend the Queen and had no choice but to pick her words carefully to offer some comfort and explanation.As the Queen Dowager listened to Margaret's attempts to console her, her thoughts turned back to the matter at hand. The Queen, not permitted to leave the palace as she pleases, had no means of contacting the Eldridge envoys directly—everything had to go through the Blackwell family. That meant the Blackwells were likely aware of the Queen’s schemes, yet chose to go along with her anyway… All these years she had shielded the Blackwells, and now they couldn’t even be bothered to inform her in advance? They simply carried out the plan behind her back—just because the Queen had Zachary, the boy who could become the next King, while she, the Queen Dowager, was already fading into obscurity…The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. But alongside that anger came a deep, bitter des
