Все главы Substitute Queen's Revenge: Глава 341 - Глава 350

Jane and Jocelyn's meeting was no longer as amiable as it had been in the past."Your Majesty, what urgent matter requires my presence in the palace?" Jocelyn feigned ignorance.With only the two of them in the hall, Jane spoke bluntly. "Was today's incident your doing?"Jocelyn put on an innocent expression. "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."As soon as the words left her lips, Jane struck. Her fist landed squarely on Jocelyn's chest.Thud!Jocelyn took the hit and was sent flying backward, crashing into a pillar. Pain shot through her body. She frowned. However, seeing Jane's fury, she laughed."Jane, you were the one who wronged me first. You wouldn't let me go and even captured my men. So I had to show you that I'm not an easy target. Today was just a warning."If you don't return my men to me, I can't guarantee what will happen to the Foster family next. To be honest, I'd like to see if, after experiencing the same ordeal, Gloria and your sister-in-law will

Jane almost thought she had misheard.She was the queen. When had Vivian ever harmed her? Wasn't Vivian trying to assassinate George?Jane set down the wine jug in her hand, fixed her gaze on George, and asked, "Are you sure?"George's brows furrowed.Hadn't Henry claimed to already know the full story? He had prepared, however, and took out a wooden box. Inside was the Dreadspawn Larva that had been found in Zen Palace that night.Jane was stunned.Since when did Vivian commit murder with a buy-one-get-one-free deal? How did George even find the Dreadspawn Larva in Zen Palace?Jane suddenly recalled how strange it had been that he had summoned her to Tyrian Palace on the night of his birthday banquet. Could it have been then?George's gaze was icy. It was clear this matter was non-negotiable.Jane steadied herself and spoke."At its root, this stems from the border conflict between the two nations."George raised his eyebrows slightly. However, he didn't interrupt Henry a

Jane read Marissa's letter carefully, not missing a single word. Her gaze gradually turned cold, like permafrost.So it truly had been Jocelyn's doing.Jane clenched the letter, her expression dark with hostility. She wanted nothing more than to rush to the prison and kill Jocelyn with her own hands.But reason triumphed over impulse.Now, more than ever, she had to remain calm. She could not act recklessly without a foolproof plan. Killing Jocelyn would not make her crimes known.The attack on Drakonas Squadron, as well as what happened to Wendy–everything had to come out and bring down Jocelyn in one stroke.Marissa's letter also mentioned Conan.He was brave and fearless, only lacking an opportunity to prove himself. Kennedy and Marissa understood her intentions and would fully support Conan's rise.That left Jane with only one thing to do–secure the token of royal pardon.She had resolved to expose all of Jocelyn's crimes, prepared for mutual destruction if necessary.O

"Greetings, Your Majesty."George personally helped Wendy up. "No need for formalities."The moment he touched her arm, he distinctly felt her resistance. She subtly avoided his touch immediately. He frowned, but only for a fleeting moment.The queen had never been fond of close contact with others. Perhaps it had something to do with her past experiences."Today is your birthday. It is only right that I accompany you."As the recipient of the king's favor, Jane should have expressed her gratitude. Yet, she couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds.A voice echoed from the depths of her memory. "From now on, I will be with you on every birthday."In an instant, Jane forcibly suppressed the emotions that had no place surfacing."Thank you, Your Majesty."George noticed something was off about her, but he did not press the matter.Earlier in the morning, he had already sent gifts that included precious jewelry and ornaments. Yet now, Steven entered again, leading over a

Jane examined the spy's corpse and discovered a small tattoo on the inner side of his arm. At first glance, it looked like a birthmark and wasn't very noticeable.She sketched the tattoo onto paper. It resembled a coiled snake. She had seen this pattern somewhere before. But at the moment, she couldn't recall where.After extensive investigation, she confirmed that it was Jadonia's original totem.Jadonia was located east of Nidora, and after over a dozen generations, its totem had undergone many changes.The only branch that retained the original totem was that of Prince Julian of Jadonia."Vice Leader, in that case, this spy must be from Jadonia!" Donovan breathed a sigh of relief.Finally, there was a lead.It was all thanks to Henry's sharp eyes. If it had been him, with his aging vision, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.Now that they had a direction, things would be easier to handle.Jane immediately mounted her horse and rode east.-Two days later, at an inn on the
