Seeing that he was moved, a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at Kendra’s lips. She continued, “I don’t ask for much. I only need to live and be kept safe.”

“So, you want me to lead the army and take you back from Northcold?” Ray asked.

Kendra slowly shook her head, “No, I want you to kill the Northcold delegation, leaving no one alive.”

She thought, ‘Isn’t the marriage between the two countries to avoid war? I have to drag everyone into this mess with me.‘

Ray smiled faintly, “I didn’t expect your ambition to be greater than I imagined.”

“Xander was the first to fail me. If he is unjust, then I will be disloyal. When the time comes, you can kill him and hold Athena’s child hostage as the new King, and you can live happily with Athena. Isn’t that what you want?” she said.

Kendra’s eyes were indescribably vicious, and Ray felt a chill run down his spine.

He was walking a path of no return.

The victor ruled, and the defeated became outlaws.

For Athena, he could only do his best.

Kendra added, “When the time comes, Porter Mansion can also lend you a hand.”

Ray’s resolve wavered completely. He pressed the secret letter under his hand and said to Kendra, “Okay, as long as you help me complete the great cause, I will protect you.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Kendra raised her teacup and smiled at Ray.

Ray hooked his lips and drank the coffee in his cup.

The covenant between the two had been reached.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day for Kendra to marry Northcold. On the night before her wedding, Kendra entered the palace to plead with Arthur.

Holding a self–embroidered longevity map, she knelt on the gold bricks and said sincerely, “Your Majesty, I will be marrying far away to Northcold tomorrow. It’s a long journey, and I fear I will hardly ever set foot in my homeland again in this life.

“I only ask that before I leave, Mrs. Cavendish can personally see me off, so as to settle the past feelings

between me and her…”

Arthur knew about the struggle between Kendra and Athena.

One was obsessed with Xander for many years, and the other was the one Xander cherished.

She asked Athena to see her off, just wanting to humiliate her again before leaving.

“Mrs. Cavendish is now pregnant and should not be overexerted.” Arthur’s voice was indistinguishable, and the prayer beads between his fingers clicked faster. “However, since you are so sincere, I grant your request in consideration of your hard work and high merit.”

Kendra’s heart tightened, and she slowly curled her lips.

“Convey my will.” Arthur slowly added, “Tomorrow at 10 AM, Mrs. Cavendish shall bring a congratulatory gift to see Kendra off.”

It was just a rivalry between two women. At this juncture, he might let Kendra have her way.

Kendra hurriedly expressed her gratitude. “Thank the King for granting my wish.”

Arthur was best at using family ethics as a guise, which not only fulfilled her reputation for cherishing the past, but also used Athena’s appearance to show the Northcold envoys how much the Petanion royal family valued this marriage.
