Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 308: The Earl’s Collapse
That day, while Miranda was in the palace keeping the Queen Dowager company in casual conversation, a royal attendant came running toward them, breathless and anxious. His face was pale with worry as he said, “My lady Miranda, His Lordship, the Earl of Croyso, collapsed this morning during the council meeting. Even in his unconscious state, he kept murmuring your name. His Majesty the King commands that you come at once to see him!”At these words, Miranda felt as though her mind had gone completely blank.“My father… collapsed?” she murmured, rising to her feet in a daze, her eyes unfocused. “How could my father have collapsed?”Seeing her pale and shaken, the Queen Dowager quickly ordered the attendant to explain everything in detail.“I do not know exactly what happened,” the man said, still catching his breath. “All I know is that during this morning’s council, His Lordship had just risen to speak when he suddenly fell to the ground. The lords were greatly alarmed. His Majesty ord

Upon returning to the Queen Dowager’s chambers, she immediately noticed the mark of a hand on Miranda’s face. The Queen Dowager frowned deeply and asked her as to what had transpired. Miranda, knowing full well that with the Queen Dowager’s power and influence the truth would soon come to light, saw no need to waste words or risk exposing any weakness. She simply offered a brief account: the Queen had sought to humiliate her, but thanks to the King’s timely arrival, she suffered no great harm.The Queen Dowager offered her words of comfort.It did not take long for word of the incident to reach Selena. When she heard of it, she could not help but feel a surge of anger. The King had shown no desire to stand up for her when she had been humiliated by the Queen, yet now, in almost the same circumstances, he chose to side with Miranda and even reproached the Queen. The more she thought of it, the more bitterly she resented Miranda, hating her to the core.As Miranda had anticipated, the Q

Hearing the King’s question, the young eunuch quickly stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, it is no grave matter. Earlier, I was following the Dowager Queen’s orders to guide Miss Miranda through the palace grounds. When we came across Her Majesty the Queen, a servant approached me in haste, saying that the Dowager Queen required me at once for some urgent matter. But as I followed him towards the Dowager Queen’s residence, I noticed he tried to slip away. Sensing something was wrong, I seized him and brought him before the Dowager Queen. Only then did I learn that Her Majesty the Dowager had sent no such summons."The eunuch continued steadily,"Upon hearing this, the Dowager Queen was greatly angered and ordered the man questioned on the spot. It was soon discovered that he was a minor servant from the Queen’s household. The Dowager Queen said it could not have been done at Her Majesty’s bidding, and concluded that it must have been the man’s own wicked plot for some hidden purp

Before the guards could react, a lazy, unhurried voice drifted out from behind the hedge."What has you so on edge, little knight? Have you failed to recognize me already?As he spoke, a strikingly handsome face appeared from among the flowers, his eyes half-lidded with indolence as he regarded the gathering. He stepped out slowly, smiling as he said,"Your Majesty! What brings you here? I was merely resting behind the hedge with a book. The sun was warm, the air sweet with blossoms, and I must have dozed off. How is it that in no time at all so many have gathered here?"The Queen’s face lit with joy."Lord Reginald, you were behind the hedge all this time?""Indeed," Reginald replied, still smiling."After the council adjourned, I found the sun so pleasant and the flowers so fragrant that I settled here for a little reading. The warmth made me drowsy, and I nodded off for just a moment. But before long, the voices grew loud enough to wake me, and when I stirred, His Majesty’s guard n

The Queen could bear it no longer. She raised her hand and struck Miranda across the face. Miranda did not move, did not flinch—she took the blow without a word. Four red finger marks soon rose on her fair, delicate skin, as if the blood beneath might break through. The sight was stark, yet Miranda’s expression remained calm. A faint smile touched her lips as she gestured to the mark on her cheek and said,"Your Majesty, I shall see this repaid.""Insolent girl!" the Queen cried, her fury clouding her reason."Seize her! Strike her at once!"The Queen’s ladies-in-waiting and attendants, well-practised in their mistress’s tempers, rushed forward and held Miranda fast. One of the maids stepped up, hand raised to strike.But Miranda’s eyes, cold and sharp as steel, met hers."Lay a hand on me—if you dare."The maid froze. The chill of that gaze seemed to pierce to her very bones, and her hand faltered, suspended in the air.The Queen, seeing her order defied, grew all the more enraged."
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
