Semua Bab Substitute Queen's Revenge: Bab 211 - Bab 220

George suddenly stood up, his voice low and hoarse, "Prepare to return to Tyrian Palace."Without another word, he left Zen Palace.Jane watched him leave, her gaze cold and steady.Confused, Lily asked, "Your Majesty, what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly leave?"Jane remained silent.-At midnight, the lights in Faith Palace flickered to life.George sat inside and waited for an hour.As the night grew late, Karlsen spoke. "Your Majesty, it seems she won't come…"Suddenly, two knocks sounded from outside.Karlsen's eyes lit up. Could it be her?George glanced at him, and Karlsen immediately opened the door.However, the person outside was not the woman they expected—it was a young chamberlain.Seeing the king inside, the chamberlain immediately dropped to his knees, trembling."Y-Your Majesty… Greetings, Your Majesty!"George's gaze darkened.Karlsen immediately questioned him, "Why are you here?"The chamberlain stammered, "I-I was passing by Faith Palace and

The city gates stood wide open, and the streets were packed with people as the triumphant army returned home. Citizens lined the roads, craning their necks in anticipation."Where is Commander Morris? Which one is he?""He's the one riding at the front!""Why is he still wearing a mask? We can't even see what he looks like!""You don't understand—Commander Morris is too handsome, so he wears a mask to conceal his face and enhance his presence.""No, it's because he has a scar and is too hideous to show his face!"Speculations spread among the crowd but were soon drowned out by the sea of voices.The much-discussed Stanley was, in fact, Jocelyn in disguise. From her elevated position on horseback, she gazed down at the citizens. Along the way, wherever they passed, the people welcomed her with open arms.At the northern borders, some even knelt by the roadside, bowing in gratitude."The northern borders cannot do without Commander Morris!""Commander Morris is truly a god of w

Julie's face was pale, but when she heard Wendy speak, her eyes filled with hope.Wilhelmina, on the other hand, looked at Wendy with ill intent. At this moment, if the queen were to help Julie refuse to dance, it would be a grave insult to the thousands of soldiers present.Whilhelmina taunted, "Your Majesty, do you mean to say that the soldiers are unworthy of seeing Lady Julie's drum dance?"Jane ignored Lady Wilhelmina and instead addressed George respectfully. "Your Majesty, how about using the Celestial Drum?"The Celestial Drum was used in spiritual ceremonies. As its name implied, it communicated with the gods through its sound, whether for prayers or to fulfill a vow.At a glance, it looked no different from an ordinary drum, but its specially crafted drumhead made its sound far more resonant.The soldiers who guarded the border had never seen a Celestial Drum before and found it novel.George's brows furrowed. "What do you mean, Wendy?"Jane elaborated, "I prayed for

Snap!The mask fell to the ground, Stanley's true identity exposed before everyone's eyes.A wave of shocked exclamations erupted from the crowd."Look! That's clearly a woman!"Although Jocelyn was dressed in men's clothing and had tied up her hair, her face left no room for doubt. The legendary hero of Nidora was actually a woman.The men instantly felt a sense of humiliation, as if they had been betrayed. The person they had revered and admired all this time was a woman. Not only were the onlookers stunned, but even Saul was utterly shocked.'Stanley's actually a woman!'Seated among them, Richard's expression changed as well—he couldn't believe his own eyes. How could that young commander turn out to be a woman?Jane remained seated, her gaze fixed on Jocelyn. The mask had been torn off just like that.For a brief moment, panic flashed across Jocelyn's face. She immediately reached out to pick up the mask.Saul reacted swiftly, kicking it away.Then, he turned to the kin

Jocelyn had received the king's grace, but she still couldn't help but ask uneasily, "Your Majesty, will Kennedy and Marissa be spared from all punishment?"George's expression turned slightly cold.Jocelyn had impersonated Stanley—the Morris couple couldn't have been completely unaware. After all, that was their own son. But as a ruler, sometimes one must feign ignorance."I bestow upon you the surname of Morris. From now on, Jocelyn will be Kennedy's adoptive daughter, and the Morris family may continue their lineage."Hearing this, Jocelyn's eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She looked overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. "Your Majesty, I swear to serve my country with loyalty and devotion!"The court officials immediately understood that bestowing the Morris surname was a means to preserve the prestige of 'Commander Morris.' It was a reward for the Morris family. However, anyone wishing to marry Jocelyn would have to marry into the Morris family, making things complicated.
