Semua Bab Substitute Queen's Revenge: Bab 361 - Bab 370

Jane's expression remained calm, though her breathing was slightly heavy.Her fist clenched tightly within her sleeve while she respectfully responded, "Yes."Lily frowned. She was in turmoil. She was merely a lowly servant. If she died, then so be it. Jane shouldn't have bothered to protect her.George sneered. "How touching. Such deep loyalty between master and servant."Just then, Maya entered, unaware of the situation. She curtsied and inquired, "Your Majesty, shall I have dinner served?"She smiled ingratiatingly but faltered when she saw Lily kneeling on the floor, assuming the girl had caused trouble again. A sudden chill ran down her spine, and her smile quickly faded.Yet, the king seemed to be in a good mood. He stood up and took the queen's hand. His usually stern and imposing gaze carried a trace of warmth."Have dinner served."Jane did not pull her hand away, though she had no appetite for a meal. She dismissed Lily. "Go pack your things. You'll be leaving the pal

Mary advised, "Jocelyn is highly capable. Keeping her as Chief Gatekeeper is truly a waste of her talent."George pondered for a moment.Then, he spoke. "If she is only tasked with forming a women's battalion, that would also be an underutilization of her abilities."Mary pressed further. "Then, in your opinion, what position should she be given?"-At the Chief Gatekeeper's residence, Jocelyn had just received the news. By royal decree, she had been entrusted with an important role.She was overjoyed.George had actually appointed her as General of the City Guards. She had thought she would need to serve a full year as Chief Gatekeeper before being reassigned.Was this her moment of long-awaited success?"Jocelyn, accept the decree!"Jocelyn immediately received the decree with both hands. Her expression filled with joy.That very day, Mary personally came to deliver a congratulatory gift."I merely suggested to His Majesty that you form a women's battalion. I didn't expec

In the Royal City, as battles continued breaking out across the four borders, George was so occupied that he had no time to visit the harem.Rachel frequently visited the royal study, but even she rarely saw the king.In mid-to-late March, Jane received news from Wallace. What she had requested had already been delivered from the northern borders.The bodies of the Drakonas Squadron soldiers had been temporarily placed in the public morgue.That night, Jane personally left the palace to look at them.Her expression was cold.Jocelyn, for her own selfish desires, had not hesitated to sacrifice so many lives. Many of them had not died at the hands of the Romenian army, but had been secretly eliminated by Jocelyn in advance.Wallace had already uncovered the truth and was furious."Commander, we must make Jocelyn pay in blood to avenge our fallen brothers!"How could Jocelyn be so ruthless?Jane's gaze was dark and cold, like the chill of early spring."How is the battle going

Rachel was still struggling in the water, flailing desperately, but no one went in to save her.Mary grabbed Jane forcefully, her demeanor overbearing. "Whoever pushed her should be the one to save her!" she ordered.This was Serene Palace. Almost all the guards and maids around had been arranged by Mary. With that, she moved to push Jane in.It was March, and the pond was bone-chillingly cold.Jane sidestepped swiftly, dodging Mary's push.Mary's gaze was stern. "Your Majesty, you–"Unexpectedly, although Jane had avoided her shove, she stepped into the water herself the next moment.Mary was so exasperated that she laughed."H-Help me–!" Rachel couldn't swim. Her heavy layers of clothing restricted her limbs.She bobbed up and down in the water, swallowing large gulps of water. She was filled with despair. Facing death, she found it impossible to remain calm and rational."Help me–!"Just as she lost the strength to struggle and was about to sink, a hand grabbed her. It wa

Maya ran into Zen Palace gloating."Your Majesty, guess what! There's trouble over at Grace Palace! His Majesty rarely visits the harem, and tonight was supposed to be Lady Rachel's turn to serve him. But somehow, she offended him, and he just left her there. Not only that, he even ordered her to be confined!"The more Maya spoke, the more excited she became, while Jane felt a faint headache coming on. She managed the harem's affairs only for the sake of maintaining peace. With Maya chattering away like this, it was impossible to concentrate."Get out. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."Maya had no idea what she had said wrong.With Lily away visiting family, she finally had a chance to serve her mistress, yet Wendy always remained distant. It left her feeling dejected.Jane ignored Maya's wounded expression, moving the abacus beads with one hand without even looking up."Still not leaving?" she asked.Just as Maya turned around, she caught sight of something an
