But despite these thoughts, the hit back her words.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be liwiting the Queen’s wrath.

Leonard’s lace turned ashen with fear. He whispered a desperate suggestion, “Your Majesty, with Prince Xander now shielding Athena, I’m afraid she may already have gotten her hands on the damning evidence

“Your Majesty, you must quickly find a way out.

* this evidence falls into His Majesty’s hands, it will inevitably lead straight to Prince Fermin

After a long outburst of hiry, the Queen unexpectedly regained her composure.

She fixed her gaze on Leonard and demanded, “Lord Leonard, do you have a solution to this?”

Leonard pondered for a moment before speaking cautiously, “Your Majesty, the truth can no longer be hidden. Athena will surely pursue this matter relentlessly until everything comes to light. In my humble opinion, it would be wiser for Your Majesty to confess to His Majesty voluntarily.

“Your Majesty, as the head of the Six Palaces, you have shared many years with His Majesty. Surely, in consideration of your deep marital bond, His Majesty will show you leniency”

The Queen turned to Leonard with a cold, sarcastic laugh. “You think His Majesty and I share some deep bond?”

She wore an unsettling smile that made Leonard’s skin crawl.

Kelsey’s back was slick with cold sweat, She cursed inwardly, ‘Leonard is such an utter fool!

Everyone knows His Majesty has long since cast the Queen aside. He hasn’t set foot in her chambers for years.

‘He actually dared to talk about deep marital bonds? That’s!

I’s like twisting the knife in the Queen’s heart!

To everyone’s surprise, instead of erupting in anger, the Queen simply nodded with an unsettling calm. “Lord Leonard, you have indeed given me something to consider.”

Leonard let out a sigh of relief and once again offered a suggestion to the Queen. “Your Majesty, I believe you should follow the example of the former Queen–shed your robes and remove your decorations to beg His Majesty for mercy”

The Queen’s eyes narrowed dangerously at the suggestion. To be asked to shed her robes and remove her decorations was the ultimate humiliation.

She seethed inwardly, ‘Leonard is so shameless. To save his own skin, he actually dared to ask me to endure such humiliation.

egy. If I emerge unscathed, you

The Queen said with icy sarcasm while fixing her murderous gaze on Leonard, “Lord Leonard, what an excellent strategy. be handsomely rewarded”

Over the years, Leonard had lined his pockets with untold riches, all thanks to the Queen’s patronage.

Just when the Queen needed him most, he decided to turn away from the matter.

The Queen dismissed him. Leonard sensed something was off, but he couldn’t quite figure out what it was

With a deep bow, Leonard retreated from the hall and hastily exited the palace

Kelsey know the Queen all too well. She was never one to take the fall.

Kelsey knew that Leonard was definitely going to take

the fall

Before becoming the Federal Bureau Chief, he was nothing more than a low ranking nobody.

All these years, he’d kept his position solely by the Queen’s prace.

He had no real talent at all.

The Queen wouldn’t shed a single tear over discarding him.

The Queen reclined listlessly on her throne, her face noticeably pale..

She lifted her weary gaze to Kelsey. “You may both return now.”

“Your Majesty.” Kelsey’s heart hammered wildly as she hastily took two steps forward, her voice dripping with sycophantic eagerness. “Willow has prepared something special to present to Your Majesty

Upon hearing this, the Queen turned her gaze to Willow, a flicker of interest now in her

in her eyes. “What is it? Present it for me

for me to see.”

The Queen was well aware of Willow’s abilities. After all, Willow was her cash cow,

Willow hastily raised the box she had prepared high above her head and said with deference, “Your Majesty, my offering may soothe your troubled heart.”

The chief palace maid stopped forward, respectfully took the box from Willow, and presented it to the Queen.

As the box sprang open, the Queen’s gaze swept over its contents, a puzzled frown creasing her brow. “What is this?” she asked.
