Clara stood outside the royal study, initially thinking that since her mistress would accompany the king tonight, she might receive a reward herself. Unexpectedly, the king suddenly decreed that her mistress was to be demoted to a lesser concubine and relocated from Cloud Palace, the symbol of ultimate favor.'How could this happen…?'Clara hurriedly kneeled, still in shock. The chamberlain, Steven, stepped out and continued announcing the decree loudly."By the king's command, Lady Helena is to be relocated to Void Palace! All palace staff from Cloud Palace are to be reassigned elsewhere and are forbidden to follow."'Void Palace?'That was practically no different from the forbidden palace!Hearing the decree, Clara's mind went blank.Her mistress was punished, and even they, her servants, were scattered. It was clear the king intended to sever all of her mistress's support.Panic, confusion, and fear intertwined in Clara's heart.The night sky erupted with thunder and light

Lily carried the decree to Cloud Palace, where Clara and the other royal servants greeted her with reluctant courtesy.Most of them believed that Helena, loved by the king, would soon be pardoned and restored to her former glory, even if she had been temporarily punished and sent to Void Palace. Jane's actions seemed overly harsh to them, as if she were burning bridges unnecessarily.Unbothered by their thoughts, Lily maintained the authority befitting her position as the queen's chief maid and announced, "By decree of Queen Jane, due to the recent spate of thefts in the palace, with Cloud Palace being the most severely affected, all royal servants here are to be transferred to the Department of Discipline. You are not to bring any personal belongings. Rewards will be given to anyone who provides information."The Department of Discipline?That was where palace offenders were interrogated!What crime had they committed to deserve this?To the servants, it felt like Jane was targe

Although Jane had only been here once before, she immediately recognized the place—it was the underground chamber of Clarion Palace, where she had confronted George for the second time.The jade bed was still there. At that time, George had been sitting on it, expelling poison from his body. Even the marks from their fight on the stone walls were still visible.There was no mistake—this was indeed Clarion Palace.Jane frowned deeply. How could Cloud Palace and Clarion Palace be connected?Though curious, her priority was still to find Timothy's journal. With this in mind, she left the chamber immediately and retraced her steps.Timothy had hidden the journal well. Without any clues, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.However, Jane wasn't one to give up. No matter how slim the hope, she would persist. After four nights of searching, she finally found the journal in a corner of the small kitchen, hidden under a loose brick near the firewood pile.The journal detai

In the royal study, George was discussing the peace negotiation between two nations with his ministers."Your Majesty, Romenia demands a compensation of one million ounces of gold. This is outright extortion! We cannot agree to this!""Christoff, if we don't agree to their terms, then according to them, Stanley must carry thorns and personally head to Romenia's capital to apologize.""That's unacceptable! Stanley is Nidora's war hero. How could we allow him to endure such humiliation? Moreover, he's still gravely injured!"At the mention of Stanley, Richard's expression turned solemn. He stepped forward, bowing respectfully, and spoke with conviction."Your Majesty, I believe it is better to part with a million ounces of gold than to sacrifice Stanley. Romenia's intentions are clear. If Stanley sets foot in their territory, his chances of survival are slim."This sentiment garnered agreement from other ministers."Wealth is merely material. A million ounces of gold can eventuall

Though the saying goes, 'a lion without its mane is just another cat,' Helena, once the most favored concubine in the harem, still managed to gain the king's affection for a few days despite her disfigurement. This alone showed her remarkable skills.Lily, ever loyal, obeyed Jane's orders and made her move. However, Maya hesitated. Maya feared that if Helena regained favor in the future, her life would be at risk. She had anticipated trouble when Jane brought her along, but she had not expected such a difficult task.Rooted in place, she didn't move.With Lily alone unable to restrain Helena, the latter shoved her away."Wendy! If you dare to harm a single hair on my head, the king will never forgive you! In this palace, no one but the king dares to strip me of my dignity! Who do you think you are…"Jane's eyes grew cold as she turned to Maya."Do it!"Intimidated by Jane's gaze, Maya, despite her reluctance, clenched her jaw and stepped forward. "Lady Helena, forgive me for t
