Lately, Theodore had been in a bad mood. During today’s court assembly, he scolded the Grand Secretary,

Dakota James, for making an inappropriate remark in front of the court. Additionally, Theodore ordered that

Dakota be banned from attending court for a month.

Back in the imperial study, Theodore threw another tantrum. Clark, who was working in the palace, also received

a scolding and was sent to wait outside the door,

The harem heard the news and hurried to the queen’s palace, asking her to go and comfort the King.

The queen knew the reason for Theodore’s bad mood, but these matters were beyond her control.

As for the concubines, she could only smile bitterly and say, “It's probably because of state affairs, and we

cannot interfere. If His Majesty comes, we will serve him well.”

When the King was in a bad mood, the queen naturally becanxious and frustrated.

She thought for a moment, and realized that the only one who could comfort the King was the Queen Mother.

Therefore, she quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and went to the Mystic Palace to pay her

respects.

Indeed, if the queen knew, the Queen Dowager would definitely be aware of it.

The queen did not dare to speak directly, and after srambling, seeing that the Queen Mother seemed tired,

she could no longer maintain her composure. She spoke with a troubled tone, “Queen Mother, His Majesty has

been in a bad mood lately. I'm not sure if it's because of state affairs or something else. | cannot intervene, so

please offer scomfort.”

The Queen Dowager slowly lifted her eyes when she heard this, “Whether it's state affairs or something else, you

understand yourself. No one can persuade him. we just have to wait for news from Zloimond to come.”

The queen replied, “That's true, but news from Zloimond may not cso quickly. His Majesty has already given

instructions to the Grand Secretary today...”

The queen spoke, glancing at the Queen Dowager discreetly. Seeing that she didn’t stop her from discussing the

morning court matters, though her expression grew slightly stiff and cold, the queen dared not continue. After

all, she had said enough.

The Queen Dowager said nothing, merely furrowing her brows.

Rowena entered with a cup of tea and said, “Your Highness, you really shouldn't have cto visit the Queen

Mother. Isn't His Majesty still angry with the Queen Mother right now?”

The queen hurriedly said, “You've misunderstood. How could the King be angry with the Queen Mother?”

“Of course, but no one dares to say it. Who wouldnt be angry?” Rowena said indifferently.

The queen, fearing her visit might ruin the relationship between the Queen Mother and the King, quickly

defended, “It’s not like that. The King has always respected the Queen Mother. It’s just that there must be some

troublespolitical matters to deal with this time, so he’s so anxious.”

The

queen felt that perhaps she should not have come. She deeply regretted her decision.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, “Alright, you may go now,”

“Queen Mother, | mean no offense, and the King is not...”

The Queen Mother looked at her and let out a deep sigh. “Let’s wait few more days with patience. Good news will

ceventually. There will be no rift between the King and me. For now, let him vent his anger and release the

frustration in his heart.”

The queen responded respectfully, “Alright!”

“You may go now,” the Queen Mother said.

The queen stood up and bowed, “I shall take my leave!”

After the queen left, Rowena furrowed her brows. “The queen has always been steady. Why did she cto you

this time? Isn't this only going to make the King angrier?”

The Queen Dowager replied, “The queen is a wise and perceptive person. When she cares too much, she

becomes anxious. She is too worried about the King.”

Rowena gave a bitter smile, “Either the King will cto you tonight, or he'll go to the queen, or both will come.

The King has been holding back his anger for a few days. I'm afraid he can’t hold it in anymore. The Grand

Secretary is such an honest person, yet the King sent him out and told him not to attend court for a month.”

The Queen Dowager casually replied, “To be honest, | hope he comes toand vents his anger. He always

respects my will, even when he’s not satisfied; he endures it. This time, with matters concerning the national

defense, although he’s stepped back, I'm sure he’s dissatisfied deep down.”

Rowena responded, “Indeed. But if you don’t take action this time, who knows how long it will take for the news

from Zloimond to arrive. If it drags on, it could beca serious problem.”

“Indeed, he is too cautious, indecisive, and hesitant when action is needed. As an King, he cannot be too

concerned with his reputation,” the Queen Dowager said.

Rowena handed the tea cup to a palace maid, instructing her to refill it, then asked, “Do you really have that

much confidence in the County Princess? You only gave her three thousand men.”

“Of course, | have confidence in her. She is someone who knows when to act, and there are certain things she

has experienced. She also understands Zloimond to sextent. She is the best candidate to reclaim Zloimond.

Being a smart person and a battlefield strategist, she knows how to use both timing and opportunity,” the Queen

Dowager said calmly.

“Then let's wait for the good news to arrive!” Rowena smiled.

The Queen Dowager considered for a moment, “The good news should arrive at the earliest today, and at the

latest, in two days.”

As Rowena had predicted, later on, Theodore indeed cto pay his respects.

That evening, he was supposed to go to Queen Catherine’s place to pay his respects, but instead, he cto

the Mystic Palace.

As he entered, the atmosphere grew tense because his expression was sour. Although he respectfully greeted

her, his tone was very cold.

As usual, the Queen Dowager asked a few questions about his food and drink, then fell silent.

After a while of quietly sipping tea, Theodore finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He lifted his gaze to look at the

Queen Dowager. “I heard the queen chere today.”

“Yes,” the Queen Dowager replied, looking at him. “She often comes to pay her respects.

“She probably didn’t just cto pay her respects this time, “Theodore waved his sleeve, appearing somewhat

uncomfortable. However, his dissatisfaction was still visible in his eyes.

“Yes, she is concerned about you, Your Majesty,” the Queen Dowager said quietly.

Theodore becirritated, “She’s being overly meddlesome.”

“A wife can never be too meddlesome,” the Queen Dowager replied calmly.

Theodore stood up, walked a few steps impatiently, then sat back down and looked at the Queen Dowager. “I still

don’t understand, why did you listen to Isolde’s words? Is the threat from Zloimond truly that great? Has it really

cto the point where we have no choice but to act?”

“Yes,” the Queen Dowager replied briefly, her expression calm.

Theodore shook his head, beginning to press for answers. “If the situation is truly this urgent, why only send

Isolde with three thousand men? Are there no great generals in the court? Even if a general doesn’t want to

engage in a civil war, once the King’s Edict is issued, who would dare defy it? | feel that you are being too hasty.

You speak

empire after war, but only send three thousand soldiers to die. How will | face the people ofthe

empire afterward? How will we intimidate the neighboring nations? Isn't this a joke?”

“Then what do you think we should do?” Queen Dowager asked patiently.

Theodore adjusted his

posture and quickly spoke, “There are two options. First, we wait for another year or two, allowing tfor our

army to be reorganized and our supplies to be fully stocked. Then, we can discreetly investigate his potential for

rebellion. If we confirm it, we will appoint generals and send out the troops. Second, we make the investigation

into Oliver's case public, using it as evidence to expose Kamari’s treason. Secretly, we summon several key

generals to gain their support for the campaign, and then convene the Cabto finalize the military plans. We

could appoint either Marquis of Eldermere or Harrison to lead the forces, then send a marshal to coordinate with

the nearby stationed troops and unite with the North Campth Army to strike Zloimond decisively. With this plan,

in about a year or so, we will be able to reclaim Zloimond.”
