From Slave To Queen (by Karyn Anderson) novel Chapter 454

Watching Ray escape into the mountains, Michael frowned. He was about to order a pursuit but was stopped by Xander, who had just arrived.

“No need to chase, Xander said, gazing in the direction of the mountains with a complex look in his eyes. “He is already a stray dog and can’t make any waves.”

The most important thing now is to get the people and soldiers in the city to surrender.

The lieutenant asked, “Your Highness, Ramberg is currently in disarray. Why don’t I lead troops in and take it within a day?”

Xander gently shook his head, and the lieutenant looked at him, puzzled.

Xander raised his chin, signaling him to look at the city tower.

The lieutenant followed his gaze and saw that all the Ramberg soldiers on the city tower had explosives strapped to their bodies.

If he were to lead troops in at this moment, the Ramberg army would perish together with the Grand Luminary Empire’s army.

The lieutenant looked puzzled, “Why are the Ramberg soldiers so foolish? Have they forgotten that they were once citizens of the Grand Luminary Empire?”

Xander slowly sat down, his voice low, “Ramberg is the most controversial city, having seceded from the Grand Luminary Empire five times and been recovered each time.

“In addition, its geography and customs are very different from those of the Grand Luminary Empire, they do not think of themselves as people of the Grand Luminary Empire.

“Especially after Ray became king, although he was a tyrant, he also did many things beneficial to the country and the people.”

Xander gently tapped a few locations on the map, indicating the areas circled in red.

“All of them have built ditches, and moats and drawbridges have been dug around the city.

“What the Ramberg people praised most was that Ray also implemented the imperial examination system, so that ordinary scholars could also become officials in the imperial court.

“This gave hope to the people at the bottom, they were no longer ordinary people, and they could also become officials and generals.

“This alone is something that our King could not compare to.”

Hearing Xander’s words, the lieutenant general and Michael were all silent.

“However, the fact that he split the Grand Luminary Empire is undeniable, and we must recover Ramberg.”

Xander nodded lightly, agreeing with Michael’s words. “We can take it back, but we can’t take it by force, we can only outsmart it. We have to think carefully about how to make the people in the city willingly return. If we attack by force, there will be a river of blood.

“The people of Ramberg will hate us even more.”

On the official road, a carriage was speeding along.

Inside the car, a beautiful woman frowned, occasionally lifting the curtain to look out the window.

She used sign language to ask the maid beside her, “Where are we?”

“Madam, we are almost to Ramberg.”

Ray sent her out of Ramberg, but after she woke up, she threatened them with her life to send her back.

The escorts had no choice but to bring her back.

Along the way, they often saw fleeing Ramberg soldiers, and after stopping them to ask, they learned that Ray had been defeated.

When Nova heard this news, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

She bit the tip of her tongue hard to keep herself awake.

Ray’s defeat meant that Ramberg was completely finished, and the people of the city would fall into a catastrophe.

‘No, the child cannot be without a father. The people of Ramberg cannot die in the flames of war.‘

Nova made a decision in her heart. she would save Ray and the lives of all the people in the city.

She signed to the maid, “Go get a white flag.”

The maid gasped, “Madam, what are you going to do?”

“Don’t ask, go quickly.” Nova’s face had never been so firm.

She signed to the maid, “I’m going to see Prince Regent of the Grand Luminary Empire to seek a way out for Ray and for all the people of the city.”

The maid was shocked. “Madam, you must not! Xander is an enemy general, it’s too dangerous for you to go!”

They’d definitely kill her.

“There is no danger more important than the lives of all the people in the city.” Nova gently stroked her bulging abdomen. “I must go.”

Soon, the white flag was brought.

Nova asked someone to tie the white flag to a long pole and hold it in front of the carriage.

She tidied up her clothes. Although her face was pale, she straightened her spine and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go see Xander.”

The carriage slowly drove towards the Grand Luminary Empire’s military camp.

Along the way, there were soldiers who died in battle and damaged weapons everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong bloody smell.

When the carriage arrived in front of the Grand Luminary Empire’s military camp, the soldiers guarding the city stopped them.

“Who is it?”

“My lady requests to see Prince Regent of the Grand Luminary Empire. We want to surrender.” The maid spoke for Nova, her voice clear and firm.

Nova stepped forward and raised the Ramberg seal high above her head.

The soldiers were stunned. They didn’t expect such a situation.

A pregnant woman actually dared to come to see their king with a surrender flag.

Soon, the news reached Xander.

Xander was standing in front of the map, studying the next course of action. He was stunned when he heard the soldier’s report, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Ray’s wife, she wants to surrender?”

“Yes, Your Highness, she is outside the camp, holding a surrender flag and waiting for you.” The soldier replied.

Xander pondered for a moment and said, “Bring her in.”

Whether it was true or false, he wanted to see what the other party was up to.

Nova was brought into the camp by the soldiers.

She saw Xander sitting in the main seat, dressed in silver armor, with a stern face and sharp eyes like an eagle.

Nova took a deep breath, slowly knelt down, and signed, “Prince Xander.”

Xander’s eyes widened a little when he saw Nova’s face.
