The Scarred Queen's Rise (Athena) novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694

After Fermin departed, the Queen coldly issued her command. “Make it known that Princess Consort Pamela has contracted a grave illness and is to be sent to Guardian Church for seclusion. Send her away immediately.”

By now, the Queen couldn’t even stand the sight of Pamela–just looking at her for a moment was more than she could bear.

The palace attendants moved swiftly, swarming into Princess Consort Pamela’s chamber and hauling her to her feet.

An elderly maid, addressing Pamela with an air of condescending authority, said, “By Her Majesty the Queen’s order, this old servant is to escort Your Highness to Guardian Church for seclusion. Once your health fully recovers, you will be brought back. For now, you’ll just have to bear with a little inconvenience.”

The maid shot the palace maids a meaningful glance, prompting them to support Pamela and escort her out.

Princess Consort Pamela’s head was still wrapped in blood–stained bandages, her face gaunt and deathly pale.

Her eyes were hollow and vacant, as if her soul had left her.

Anyone who saw her couldn’t help but feel a stab of pity.

She was the Princess Consort. Yet they cast her aside without a second thought.

Even if you raised a cat or a dog, you’d still develop some affection for it.

Pamela, however, wore an expression of numb resignation as the palace maids half–supported, half–dragged her toward the exit.

Her head throbbed mercilessly, her legs like dead weight beneath her.

She struggled to take even a few steps, each movement feeling like an eternity.

The maid’s booming voice cut through the air. “Your Highness, hurry up. Don’t waste any more time.”

From the moment the Queen ordered her sent away, Pamela was as good as discarded–a broken doll, nothing more.

Dream on if anyone thinks she’ll ever be brought back.

And why would the maid show her any courtesy now?

Seeing Pamela struggling to walk, the elderly maid snapped at the two palace maids, “Are you brain–dead? Can’t you see Her Highness can’t walk? Put some muscle into it.”

The palace maids, their faces turning pale at the maid’s scolding, cast a pained glance at Pamela. One of them whispered, “Forgive us, Your Highness.”

Then, the two of them dragged Pamela bodily out the door.

Just like dragging a dead dog.

Once inside the carriage, Pamela collapsed, unconscious–her battered body finally giving out under the strain.

The carriage carried her out of the city gates of Pidence City, heading straight for Guardian Church.

A few days later, word had already spread about Princess Consort Pamela’s seclusion at Guardian Church.

When news of this reached the Beren Manor, they didn’t make a single move–utterly silent and indifferent.

Pamela had angered both the King and the Queen. They should be grateful not to be implicated,

let alone dare to speak up for her.

The Prime Minister, Silas Beren, grumbled in frustration, “I raised her all these years and married her into such an illustrious noble house, yet she failed to capitalize on this opportunity. Curse my fate for having only one daughter–had I another, I would never have let her come to such a pass

He had three sons and one daughter.

Pamela was his only daughter.

The Prime Minister bitterly resented that Pamela had not only failed to secure political advancement for her brothers, but had also managed to ruin herself in the process.

Evelyn sighed repeatedly. “She’s my daughter–how could I not ache for her? But she’s always been far too headstrong, never heeding anyone’s advice. Now she’s brought this misery upon herself.”

“My heart aches only for Lucky–so young, and already motherless,” Silas sighed.

Evelyn said dismissively, “What’s there to pity about just a girl like her? After all, she’s a Duchess. If she misses her mother when she grows up, we can simply bring her mother back.” Her words dripped with disdain.

Evelyn thought to herself, ‘Sons are so much better–they don’t give me trouble and at least they can carry on the family line.

The scandal at Fermin Manor didn’t become widely known.

To the outside world, it was only known that Princess Consort Pamela had fallen gravely ill and had gone to Guardian Church for seclusion.
