"Mistress, I just–" Jocelyn stammered nervously.Marissa quickly grabbed the letters. She recognized them; these belonged to Jane.The envelope was marked with 'My love, Jane'.Marissa's expression became stern and full of reproach. "What are you trying to do? Burn them all?"Jocelyn fiddled with a corner of her shirt, lacking the confidence and boldness she had when commanding troops. She only felt guilty."No, Mistress, you misunderstand. I just thought that if these things were kept, and someone found them in the future, it could tarnish Jane's reputation."Marissa lightly curled her lips, her smile somewhat mocking. "You've certainly thought this through. But Jane treasures them more than anything. You want to burn them, but have you asked for her permission?"Jocelyn shook her head gently, her voice barely audible. "Mistress, I didn't think it through. I just wanted to protect Jane. After all, she is now the queen, and if the king finds out she's secretly promised herself t

At the royal study, the High Court minister reported solemnly, "Your Majesty, the officers found this account book in Jay's residence. It turns out he not only embezzled military funds but also took bribes from the merchants of Cloud City."After defeating the Redstone Tribe, Nidora seized control of Redwood River and issued a ban on ships and trade. However, Jay secretly granted them the privilege of disguising their vessels as official ships, allowing them free passage on the river."The merchants of Cloud City sold purple iron ore to the Redstone Tribe at exorbitant prices, and Jay took a thirty percent cut of the profits."George's gaze burned with wrath.Smuggling purple iron ore. That crime alone was enough for Jay to die ten times over. Having him drawn and quartered would still be letting him off easy.That very day, Jay, who was still imprisoned, was interrogated. Unable to withstand the severe torture, he confessed to everything.According to him, the officials, merchan

The room looked quite ordinary at first glance, but the bed was lined with various tools of different sizes. A wooden bathtub was placed beside the bed, surrounded by several bronze mirrors. By the window stood a long bench, shaped like a human figure.Seeing their expressions remain neutral, the innkeeper hurriedly asked, "May I ask, are you two dissatisfied? This room is in high demand!"George replied in a deep voice, "It's fine."Then he signaled Karlsen to hand over the money. Only then did the innkeeper stop worrying and departed happily.After George entered the room, Jane followed him without hesitation. She instinctively blew out the candle that was burning on the table.Noticing George looking over, she said calmly, "My brother once told me that many shady inns use drugged candles."George didn't seem to mind and began scanning the room. Suddenly, Jane pushed him aside."Watch out!"A hidden compartment in the wall had sprung open, launching forward like an arrow.

Jane met George's piercing gaze. "I'm going to look for—"George cut her off coldly, his voice firm. "Stay here. You're not allowed to leave."With that, he passed out. Even so, his grip on Jane was like a corpse frozen in rigor mortis–impossible to pry open.Jane struggled for a long time, forcing his fingers apart one by one before finally freeing herself.A deep red mark was left around her wrist. It was clear just how much strength he had used.-Jane snuck outside, but just as she was about to leave the courtyard, the old couple arrived with a basin of hot water.Catching sight of her, they rushed forward to stop her, their voices filled with unease."Hey! Wait! Young lady, are you leaving?"Jane was momentarily at a loss for words. They had guessed correctly.The old woman spoke again, "You can't leave! If you go and this man… If he doesn't make it, who are we supposed to turn to?"They were afraid she would run off and leave them to deal with this trouble. To be fair,

The assassins struck just as Jane tried to rise, but George held her waist down, forcing her to press against him. In the next moment, he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.In the darkness, she couldn't see his face, only sensing the hostility radiating from him.Boom.With a single lift of his hand, a powerful force wave erupted, instantly sending the assassins flying.Thud!Thud, thud!Several bodies crashed to the ground. Realizing the people inside were still awake, the assassins shouted, "Attack together!" But then, a man stepped through the bed curtains.Tall and imposing, he exuded an overwhelming sense of dominance."Attack together?" George echoed, cracking his knuckles. "Perfect. It's been a long time since I've personally killed someone."With a casual but swift motion, he struck an assassin square in the chest. The man collapsed instantly.Jane abruptly sat up. The shattered window let in a rush of cold wind, making the white curtains billow violently. She lif
