Chapter 246

“Your Majesty, my lady has not instructed me to speak. However, there are some words I wish to say myself. May I have Your Majesty’s permission? Monica prostrated herself on the ground, her slender frame kneeling with unshakable resolve.

The scene of Jessica thrusting her spear

strike kept replaying in the King’s mind.

That very fissure still lay right behind Monica.

“Speak. You have my pardon,” the King said, a trace

The King heaved a silent sigh.

weary helplessness in his voice.

Monica clenched her fists before looking up at the King and said, “Your Majesty, my lady never meant to conceal her strength. But Waldo once mentioned he disliked women who practiced martial arts. That’s why my lady would personally scout military intelligence every time, yet never dared tell His Highness.”

Monica continued, “Sometimes, when our forces were losing, my lady would join the battle masked. But fearing His Highness‘ disapproval, she never revealed her true identity.”

A fresh wave of astonished murmurs swept through the crowd.

They thought, ‘So this is the secret behind Waldo’s victories? All because there’s Ms. Yates in the army?

‘Personally scouting intelligence, personally leading troops into battle, what a miracle!‘

“You little wretch, what nonsense are you spouting?” Adele finally realized, seething inwardly, “This lowly servant actually dares to let her lady climb the social ladder by stepping on my son’s back!”

Adele fumed inwardly, ‘So she wants the whole world to believe that all of Waldo’s military achievements were actually thanks to Jessica?

‘What right does she have to slander my Waldo like this?‘

Adele shrieked, “Your Majesty, this wretched girl dares slander Waldo’s good name with her nonsense, she deserves to die ten thousand deaths! Guards! Drag her out and beat her to death with rods immediately!”

At Adele’s sharp command, the surrounding guards stirred into action. b none dared to actually lay hands on her.

The King hadn’t spoken yet, this wasn’t Adele’s place to decide.

t only two stepped forward, taking positions a few paces behind Monica. Yet

Still, with Adele’s order given, no one dared move, afraid she might hold a grudge and make trouble for them later.

Nolan watched with bated breath, not daring to say a word. He hurried

“I just hope I can take some of the blame for her,” he thought, heart pounding.

The King waved his hand dismissively, and the two guards immediately retreated.

“Your Majesty!” Adele exclaimed, her eyes blazing with barely contained fury, yet she dared not voice her anger.

Today, the King’s expression was unreadable as he gazed down at the two knooling before him, his lips pressed into a thin line.

No one dared utter a word.

The tension was so thick that everyone present held their breath, afraid to even exhale.

After what seemed like an eternity, the King finally spoke in a cold voice. “Today, we shall see whether Jessica truly has the ability to bring Waldo backu she… indeed possesses such skill, we will recognize and utilize her talents, no worthy individual shall go unappreciated in our kingdom(”

Upon hearing this, Monica immediately said, “Thank Your Majesty for your boundless mercy!”

Andrew waved his hand dismissively. “Dismissed.”
