The Scarred Queen's Rise (Athena) novel Chapter 476

Lizzie reached out and cupped the chin of her nearest favorite, a doting smile playing on her lips. She cooed, “You’re all my precious darlings. How could Lever bear to part with any of you?”

“But, Princess, what happens to us if you get married?”

“Of course, I will keep you all,” Lizzie said with a smile. “As long as you behave and don’t cause me trouble, no one will ever be able to pry you away from my side.”

With Lizzie’s assurance, all the male favorites broke into satisfied smiles.

Lizzie’s male favorites pulled out all the stops to curry favor with her.

Before long, the room was filled with unmistakable sounds of passion that would make anyone blush

Ansel perched on a large tree in the courtyard, arms crossed and eyes squeezed shut, his brows furrowed in clear disgust.

“To marry a woman like that, Ansel thought, “Femis is truly cursed!

A sudden voice from behind startled Ansel “What, too squeamish to go made?

He whirled around to find a woman clad in black standing behind him, her face as cold as ice.

Ansel quickly wiped the casualness from his eyes and said seriously, “Of course not! I was just thinking about how to teach them a lesson and get some justice for Miss Monson”

“Useless,” Jessa sneered coldly. She pulled her mask over her face and, in a flash, launched herself into the room.

With lightning speed, she vanished in the blink of an eye

Ansel’s face fell at the thought of the scene inside “Waithe blurted out, alarmed

Suddenly, with a resounding crash, a door panel came hurtling straight an Ansel He frantically dodged aside.

The door panel whizzed past him, narrowly missing him, and slammed into the tree with a thunderous crash.

Suddenly, panicked shouts erupted throughout the manor, “Assassin Protect the princess! Protect the princess!”

When Ansel leaped into the room, he saw bodies strewn haphazardly across the floor.

There were maids, attendants, and several stark naked men sprawled haphazardly across the floor

Lizzie lay sprawled on the floor, barely covered, her body paralyzed yet her mind painfully alert.

Lizzie stared in or at the assassin who had suddenly burst in, her eyes wide with terror, unable to utter a single word.

Before she could even process what was happening, Lizzie found herself sprawled or the floor

All of her male favorites, however, had lost their lives.

Lizzie was absolutely livid–these were her mast treasured consortst

“Damn assassins!” Lizzie seethed. “If she ever found out they’d been caught, she’d tear the limb from limb

The guards, fully aware of what was going on inside, all withdrew sheepishly.

The maids and matrons hurried in and finally helped Lizzie to her feet.

Only after witnessing this did Jessa take Ansel and leave.

The next day, news of the attack on Lizzie’s manor spread throughout the capital.

Upon hearing the news, Athena fell silent for a moment.

Athena instinctively glanced at Jessa, who immediately tilted her head skyward, rubbed her nose, and muttered under her breath, “That has nothing to do with me.”

Jessa’s blatant act was anything but convincing

Athena shook her head. She knew it couldn’t be that simple.

Athena stared fixedly at Jessa, her crystal–clear, piercing eyes seeming to see straight through to her soul.
