Semua Bab Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children: Bab 761 - Bab 770

Mavice’s hand pressed down on his arm. “No, I just thought you resemble someone...,” she said softly.Duke pulled his arm away from her grip, avoiding Mavice’s touch.“I’m sorry, I forgot myself.” Mavice looked away and lowered her head to take a sip of coffee. She regained her composure.The rest of their meeting went smoothly. The two agreed on the venue of meeting, their course of action and how to perform the handover.“I shall see you the day after tomorrow then, Queen Mavice. Goodbye.” Duke bowed respectfully, put on his mask and left the opera house.Mavice stood at the stairs, watching as his back slowly disappeared from the entrance, and tears suddenly pricked her eyes again.It was shocking to think that the newly appointed Black Party leader’s face matched so strikingly with her late husband’s. Even the scar on his face was the same.When she was thirty years old, her husband had died protecting her. Her husband’s face from so long ago had always stayed in her mind. H

In two days, the chaotic Hestia Border settled down. The quieter it was, the more anxious people felt. There were hardly any pedestrians in the streets.The sun shone brightly, and the people set up patrol by the Soux River inside Hestia Border.Terry stood on the riverside. A golden mask covered his face, and his cloak rustled in the wind. It all made him seem very imposing.Beside him were Elder Maurice and Elder Dorien, all tied up. The two of them had been tortured in prison for five days, and they had long lost their initial edge.Louis walked to him from the roadside to report. “Boss, Isabelle is approaching with company.”Dozens of military vehicles slowly arrived, stirring up a cloud of dust. In the frontmost vehicle sat Isabelle. She pushed open the door and set her black leather shoe-clad feet on the ground.She touched the gun holstered at her lower back. She sneered inwardly, but when she looked up, all her mirth disappeared when he saw Elder Maurice heavily injured

Mavice, in a creamy-white trench coat, walked to him. She smiled. “This cooperation between us has gone exceptionally well. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”She knew that no matter who Terry would have approached, they would have been more than willing to join hands with him. But he had chosen her. ‘This achievement will allow me to stay as a queen longer. My daughter’s status will rise as well.’Duke said calmly, “The main rebels of the Black Party have been captured, but there are still some remaining in the main city. So, Your Majesty, please deal with it in person.”It would only be a success if Mavice took it into her own hands. Mavice smiled. “The people in the palace have prepared a dinner banquet. After this place is… cleaned up, would you mind joining us for dinner?”Duke looked at his wrist watch.He had planned to finish everything here before sunset today and officially quit the Black Party. “Mr. North, I would like you to teach me a thing or two regard

Duke felt his mind going blank after he drank the champagne. Before he could contemplate what had happened to him, his vision blacked out， and he slumped forward on the dining table.The clock struck eleven when Adina finished reading bedtime stories to her children. The children gradually fell asleep, but she could not even sleep a wink. ‘Duke should have been here by now. Even if he was held up by something important, he would have called...’She wanted to call him, but she was afraid that she might disturb him if he was caught up in something important. She suppressed her urge to call him.“Perhaps he’s held up by something.” Flint tried to comfort her. “Black Party has been demolished. Many people are fleeing, and it’s not easy to catch them all. Isabella is on the run. She will definitely try to make a comeback. Maybe he is just trying to settle things first…”“I know.” Adina smiled. “I’ll get some rest. You should sleep too.”She yawned and went upstairs to her room. Whe

If she sought someone who resembled her husband, she would not feel as though she had betrayed him...“I’ve said this before. I have more important things to do, so I can’t stay in Yggdra.” Duke’s voice was icy and carried a dangerous edge to it. “Your Majesty, please understand that I can have either Black Party surrender or rebel. You’d best let me go, or there will be unbearable consequences.”“I will endure any consequence,” Mavice said with a smile. “I will give you another twenty-four hours to think about it. If you still refuse, don’t blame me for using a different method.”She turned around and left the dark room. She locked the door from outside.There was silence all around.Duke held his breath and listened closely for any movement outside. When he was certain that the coast was clear, his two hands, which were tied behind his back, wrapped several loops around the rope and his bonds came free.He crouched down to untie the ropes around his legs. Then, he walked toward
