Witnessed the King’s Betrayal, I’m Out Chapter 11
He had found the way back long ago.All he needed was to shatter that string of glass beads, and they could both return. But when he held those beads, countless thoughts appeared in his mind.What would happen after they went back?Kat was so great, so dazzling.And he was only an ordinary man.Countless superior men would appear by her side, and her gaze would no longer be on him. So, Jeffrey had greedily thought that trapping Katherine here for a lifetime might not be so bad.That was why Jeffrey gave that string of glass beads to Cecily. Once they belonged to Cecily, Kat would no longer want something tainted by her, would she?"Magus, is there still a way back?" Jeffrey asked.The magus made a slow calculation in his mind and said, "The cycle turns once every eight years and only on the night of the full moon. For the next passage to open, you must wait another eight years."Eight years.A full eight years.After Jeffrey heard that, he slumped into the chair, his eyes lo

An attendant voice came from outside the hall. "Your Majesty, Lady Cecily has arrived. She says the matter is urgent and begs an audience."Jeffrey's eyes instantly turned cold. "Let her in."Cecily walked in wearing a pale pink gown, her hair loosely pinned and her steps bouncy. "Your Majesty, I heard you have not been sleeping well these past few days, so I made something for you...""Leave it there." Jeffrey said, not even raising his head. His voice was cold as ice.Cecily froze at his attitude, but quickly recovered and walked to his side. She reached out carefully, wanting to massage his shoulders and neck. "Your Majesty, ever since the queen left, you have ignored court affairs and wandered around aimlessly..."She paused, and a trace of resentment entered her voice. "Surely she did not take your soul with her when she left. I know your heart aches for her, you must think of your health but no matter what."As she spoke, she gently took Jeffrey's hand and pressed it agains

By the time Katherine had arrived at her Women's Academy, the young lady's body had already gone cold. Her pages were still stained with blood, and on them were crooked words: [Better to see the light and die, then to forever live in darkness.]Katherine went to Jeffrey with red eyes, begging him for help.At the time, Jeffrey was overwhelmed with supplying his army at the border and had not slept for several days. He glanced at her as he rubbed his temples and spoke with a trace of impatience in his voice. "We need proper laws to permanently stop this. Enacting a law like this will involve the courts and the councils. This will involve and affect a lot of people. Not to mention this can't be done in a day."Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll personally give you a hand with this."'Once I'm done with this busy period…'Jeffrey had said those words so many times that even he could no longer count them.Just like that, year after year passed.Katherine's academy never gaine

Jeffrey continued to reminisce. The year the barbarians of the Northern Wilds came to negotiate peace, the envoy they sent was arrogant and rude. There was no progress with the talk for seven days, and no one from the court could do anything about it.Katherine had quietly helped him sort through the barbarians' many factions, weighing their interests and weaknesses. Using what she found, he led the peace talk and reached an agreement within three days, winning a decade of peace at the border.Then, there was also the time he fell into the water.It was early winter, and a thin sheet of ice had already formed over the river. Katherine could not swim, yet she still leaped in without hesitation. She dragged him ashore, but she had high fever for seven days and nights straight. Her health had been poor ever since.But how had he treated her later?Jeffrey slowly clenched his hand.All at once, he remembered what had happened at the banquet.Katherine had held that cup of wine, he

They had known each other when they were nobodies, and they had survived more than a decade of hardship together.Tonight, if Katherine pushed him away in anger, he would hold her and would not let go. Once she had scolded him enough and cried enough, he would talk to her properly.The lights of Peacock Hall were still lit up.Jeffrey hurried closer, but his steps stopped before the entrance into the royal apartment.Alice was kneeling in the corridor, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed so hard, she could barely breathe. When she saw him, she crawled over to him with tears and sobs. "Your Majesty! Queen Katherine… The queen is missing!"Jeffrey's eyes widened. "What do you mean missing?""I… I don't know. Her Majesty just... just disappeared. We searched the bedchamber, the gardens, the side halls, everywhere, but we could not find even a trace of her..."Alice raised her tear-stained face, her voice choked with sobs. "Your Majesty, you know what the queen is like. No matter ho

Third-person POVThe court physician explained that all Cecily had was a fright. While her pregnancy was becoming somewhat unstable, both mother and baby were safe for now.Jeffrey sat by Cecily's bed for a long time, gently rubbing Cecily's back until her breathing steadied. Only then did he stand up.Looking at her sleeping face, he felt an unexplainable irritation stir in his chest. He walked out of Cloud Palace.The night wind blew over him, but the irritation in his heart did not ease. Instead, it grew heavier.It was all his fault.His fault for not giving Katherine enough certainty, which had driven her to do something wrong.The lamps along the path swayed faintly in the night wind, light and shadow flickering. Jeffrey slowly walked toward Peacock Hall. His steps were unhurried, but they carried a certain confidence.He had so much he wanted to say to Katherine.He had thought about the medicine that caused her abortion countless times.Back then, the court physician
