Lily wasn't sure whether she should announce that Jane had woken.Fortunately, at that moment, a voice came from behind the curtain. "Your Majesty, I just woke up."After hearing her speak, George lifted the curtain with one hand. His slender fingers grasped the fabric, leaving noticeable creases.Their eyes met. He gazed at the frail woman before him, his fists clenching slightly."Rest well."Beyond that cold, distant expression of concern, he said nothing more.Jane broke the tense atmosphere, supporting herself as she sat up.George frowned, stepped forward, and reached out to steady her by the waist. Unknowingly, he pressed against an old wound.Jane drew in a sharp breath and froze.George noticed her reaction. "What's wrong?"He rarely displayed such patience with her."It's nothing." Jane shook her head gently, though inwardly, she was rolling her eyes. Enduring the pain, she mustered her strength to sit up.George had no idea about the injury on her abdomen. When h

Teressa arrived at Zen Palace with an air of authority. The chief maid, Maya, hurriedly led her into the inner chamber.Inside, Teressa saw George next to the table, his gaze fixed on the bed where a maid was feeding Jane her medicine. He was so focused on the queen that he didn't even notice his grandmother's arrival.Her presence wasn't acknowledged until Steven saw her. "Greetings, Lady Teressa!"Only then did George snap out of his thoughts and rise to welcome her."Grandmother." His voice was hoarse, as if he had developed a fever and hurt his throat.Teressa felt a pang of sympathy for her grandson."George, you were up all night dealing with the assassins and barely rested. The queen has plenty of people attending to her. You should go back and get some rest."George's expression remained indifferent, as though it didn't trouble him much. "I only stopped by to take a look. I was just about to leave."Teressa nodded before turning her gaze to the woman on the bed."What

George stood there, his expression darkening, cold as the harshest winter frost. Despicably, he blamed everything on the queen.Suddenly, Jane's strong internal energy sensed his presence. Their eyes met, and she saw the disgust in his gaze.Lily followed Jane's line of sight. Seeing that it was the king, she hurriedly grabbed the robe from the bed and draped it over Jane's shoulders. She completely ignored the fact that it was only natural for a king to look at his own woman.Fortunately, the wound had just been bandaged."Greetings, Your Majesty." Lily stepped out of the bed curtains and performed a curtsy first.Jane dressed herself without greeting him. Inevitably, the movement pulled at the wound on her back, but she could endure it.George asked coldly, "The queen's fever still hasn't subsided?"Lily lowered her head. "Y-Yes."She was somewhat nervous. She had no idea when George had come. Thankfully, she and Jane hadn't said anything confidential just now. Otherwise, t

Jane had a detached look in her eyes.Even without a physician's report, George could see that she was faking her illness. That meant she couldn't keep up the act any longer. She couldn't use this as an opportunity to fake her death and leave the palace.Now, she had to come up with another plan.First things first, she needed to contact Wallace and get her hands on the drug to stage her death. But with the palace under strict lockdown, that was proving to be a serious obstacle.However, despite not a single physician daring to speak up, George could tell that the queen's fever was mostly feigned. But with state affairs piling up, he had no time to dwell on the matter. At most, she was just trying to gain his attention.Since she had taken an arrow for him, he would let it slide. However, he wouldn't indulge her. After that day, George didn't visit Zen Palace again.Josephine and Julie, on the other hand, came often."Your Majesty, are you really feeling better?" Josephine asked

When George arrived at Zen Palace, Wendy was taking her medicine. She wore plain clothes, which made her appearance even more ethereal, like a bright moon. The medicine smelled bitter. It probably tasted even more so.Jane stood up and performed a curtsy with a calm expression. "Greetings, Your Majesty.""I told you, your injury is not healed, there's no need for you to curtsy.""Very well."After George sat down, he intended to ask about the petition but noticed her complexion was very pale. Had she become so haggard after only a few days without him seeing her? What were the servants in Zen Palace doing? Why were they failing to properly care for their mistress?"Has the physician come to check your pulse?" he casually asked.Jane sat across from him, her face full of worry. "He has come. There's nothing serious."Lily spoke at the right moment. "Your Majesty, the queen misses her parents and has trouble eating and sleeping."Jane didn't deny this, lowering her gaze, appear
