All Chapters of REVENGE AFTER REBIRTH-THE LORD'S FORSAKEN BRIBE: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The palace gardens had never been so quiet.Moonlight washed the marble paths in silver, soft enough to make even the thorns glimmer. The roses were blooming again, it was white this season, pale as breath. Their scent drifted through the air, mingled with rain and memory.Damien walked alone.He had dismissed his guards hours ago. He told them he needed solitude, but the truth was simpler he needed proof. Proof that he wasn’t losing his mind.Every night for weeks, the same dream returned: a voice calling his name from the garden, calm and familiar. And when he turned, she was there standing among the roses, firelight caught in her hair.He always woke before she spoke.But tonight, he swore he could still hear her.On the other side of the wall, beneath the cloak of ivy and moonlight, Serina stood in the shadows.She had sworn not to return to this place, yet here she was drawn by something she couldn’t name.The garden had been hers once: her refuge, her chapel. She’d planted the f

The palace no longer felt like a home to anyone who still remembered what peace used to sound like.Servants spoke in half-breaths now. Their laughter had been replaced with the click of hurried footsteps, the rustle of secrets carried in folded linens.Every corner held eyes that feared shadows, and every word was weighed before it was spoken.But amid all that silence, a new kind of whisper had begun to bloom.It carried through the kitchens first, then down the servants’ corridor; the name of a woman who listened. A woman who didn’t shout, didn’t threaten, didn’t punish but remembered faces.Serina.Not the queen they once mourned, but the envoy with kind eyes who spoke to them as equals.She started small.A note slipped to the kitchen maid reminding her that the grain shortage wasn’t her fault.A suggestion to a junior clerk about how to fix the supply ledgers that the royal taxmaster had intentionally falsified.A guard with a limp who found an extra pair of boots waiting at his

Rain had fallen all night, leaving the streets slick and shining like polished stone. By dawn, the city stirred again, merchants lifting their stalls, guards pacing the gates, and whispers riding the wind.Whispers about her.Not the envoy anymore. Not the southern diplomat.They called her something else now…”The Quiet Queen.”Serina had never asked for the name.But she didn’t stop it either.She stood at the edge of the market square that morning, hood drawn low, watching as a group of traders passed around a scroll marked with her seal, a simple lily pressed in wax.The scroll contained no grand message, no promises of rebellion.Just a decree written in careful ink:/”Where fear has taken root, plant justice instead.Do not kneel for the crown that forgets your name.”/It was signed only with an emblem, a circle of lilies and flame.By noon, five more copies were spreading through the southern streets. By nightfall, it had reached the gates of the capital.“Word travels fast,” Ca

Night had fallen, but the palace did not sleep. Servants moved silently through the halls with lowered heads. Guards avoided eye contact as they passed each other. The air itself felt tight stretched thin and trembling. Because everyone had seen it The queen had lost control And fear spreads faster than fire. Aria slammed the doors of her private chamber shut hard enough for the hinges to shiver. Her breath came uneven, ragged, as though she had run miles. She tore the crown from her head and threw it across the room. It hit the marble floor with a hollow metallic ring not majestic or powerful. Just empty. “Who is she?” Aria whispered, pacing. Her hands shook. Her pupils were wide, almost black. “That woman… that voice…” Her reflection caught her eye in the tall mirror across the chamber. The woman in the glass did not look like a queen. Her hair was messy. Her eyes were bloodshot. Her mouth trembled. Weak. Consumed. Hunted. “No,” she hissed at the mirror. “No.

The corridors of the palace were quiet at night too quiet. No murmurs from the guards. No laughter from servants. No distant echo of music from the banquet hall. Just stone, and silence, and the sound of Damien’s footsteps. He didn’t tell anyone where he was going. He didn’t need to. His body had already decided before his mind allowed itself to understand. He followed the path he used to take without thinking of the old wing of the palace, the one filled with empty rooms and shuttered halls. The wing where she used to live. He stopped outside her door. No guards. No attendants. Just a single candle burning inside steady and unwavering. He knocked once. A pause. Not long….just long enough for uncertainty to settle in the hollow of his chest. Then: “Come in.”Her voice. He opened the door. Serina sat by the window, candlelight brushing her hair into threads of gold and shadow. She did not look startled. She did not look afraid. She simply was. The same way rain si
