Clark knew that the King had been in a bad mood lately, and he also knew the reason. It was because folde had

led troops to war.

As Isolde’s older brother, he had been keeping a low profile these days, treading carefully.

In front of the King, he even adjusted his breathing and carefully considered his words before speaking Now that

the King was urgently summoning him, he knew that something bad had happened. Moreover, his father had

also been summoned. Though his father was said to have returned to the countryside, Clark knew that he had

actually gone with Isolde..

If the King becsuspicious, he didn’t know what to say.

This was a crof deceiving the King.

Right now, there was no tfor him to discuss it with others. He could only rush into the palace.

The King had moved to the imperial study, which was already a mess. When Clark entered, he had to carefully

avoid the scattered objects on the floor. The servants were kneeling all over the place. He had no idea that the

King had already lost his temper once in his chambers, and this was the second outburst.

He saw the King seated on the throne behind the imperial desk, his fury was overwhelming

Clark’s heart sank, and his legs went weak. With a thud, he fell to his knees. “Your Majesty!”

A stack of booklets cflying down, landing right at his feet.

With just one glance, Clark knew that it was the policy essay he had submitted.

His heart sank even further, and his face turned ashen.

A cold, commanding voice rang out, “Tell me, how does a great nation establish its power? Is it only through

war?”

He was speechless.

The King’s anger stemmed from war, and he absolutely could not say yes.

But half of his policy essay was about war.

“Speak!” the King snapped.

Clark’s lips trembled. “Your Majesty... | believe that in certain situations, if we don’t use military force nation’s

dignity cannot be maintained.”

“What do you mean by certain situations?” the King asked coldly.

Clark knew that no matter how he answered, it would be wrong. After a brief moment of thought, he raised his

head and spoke frankly, “For example, if Kamari harbors treasonous intentions, amasses troops, and rebels

against his superiors, then military action would be necessary.”

The King had summoned him to force him to take a stance. If he sided with Isolde, his career would be

over.

the King would issue an edict, accusing Isolde of misleading the Queen Mother with deceful words. This was an

offense punishable by death

Yet, Clark had chosen to stand with olde

The King was deeply disappointed. He said coldly, “I thought you were someone who understood propriety and

the bigger picture. But since you care so little for your own reputation and future, | am trudy disappointed in

you”

Clark had already steeled himself. So he spoke boldly, “Your Majesty, Tolde marched to war under your imperial

decree to quell the rebel king. This is a testament to your wisdom and a declaration to all lands that the

authority of the Eryndral Empire cannot be challenged”

With these words, he left the King no room to retreat.

In his fury, the King had indeed considered shifting all the blonto the Queen Mother.

As Isolde’s older brother, Clark was the perfect person to declare that she had deceived the court with reckless

words. In that case, the Queen Mother would bear only the charge of political misjudgment and folly.

But Clark refused to cooperate.

The King was even more furious. He shouted, “Why has Geoffrey not cto see me?

Clark replied, “Your Majesty, my grandmother is gravely ill. My father has already taken leave to return the

countryside and arrange a burial site for her.”

It was common for the elderly to arrange their burial sites in advance, especially when they were gravely ill Even

among those in good health, it was a common practice among the people to select a burial plot ahead of time.

However, the King seized on this as an excuse. “Your grandmother is still alive, yet your father has already

chosen her burial site. Is he cursing his own mother to die early? It’s such unfilial behavior. How can a man like

that be worthy of serving as a high-ranking official in the Royal Court?”

Clark knew that the King was currently in a rage, and no reasoning would get through to him. The only thing he

could do was lower his head and plead for forgiveness.

#1 will give you one chance,” the King declared. “At tomorrow's court session, you will submit a formal Icharge

against the County Princess of Cromwell, Isolde, accusing her of deceiving the Queen Mother with

reckless words. If you do so, | will pardon your offense of disrespect.”

Clark knew he had committed no such crime. This was nothing more than a charge the King had decided to place

on him.

But to accuse Isolde in court, he would rather die than do it.

So he bowed low to the ground and said, “Isolde marched under Your Majesty's decree to eliminate the rebels.

She will surely return victorious, bringing glory to the Eryndral Empire and reaffirming Your Majesty's imperial

authority”

The King slammed the table and roared, “Stubborn and defiant! Get out of my sight! Go hand await orders!

Without my decree, you are not to set foot in the palace again!”

He had once served close to the King, but this was equivalent to removing his official position.

In just a month or two, Clark had experienced both rapid rise and sudden fall. By now, he had grown used

to it.

Of course, it was a pity. But everything he had was given to him by Isolde, and now losing it for her sake was

worth it.

The only regret he had was that his ambitions remained unfulfilled.

News of the King’s anger toward Clark soon reached Mystic Palace.

The Queen Mother listened in silence for a long time, a hint of disappointment clearly visible in her eyes.

Naturally, the news also made its way to Queen Catherine..

Queen Catherine had always been indecisive, following Queen Dowager’s lead in everything. That very night,

she rushed to Mystic Palace, sighing endlessly.

Queen Dowager reclined on her couch, gazing at Queen Catherine’s darkened face. In a calm voice, she said,

“Why all the sighing? You have never concerned yourself with court affairs.”

“I may not meddle in court affairs, but the King is my son. How can I not be troubled?”

Queen Catherine moved closer, looking at her with concern. “Are you angry?”

Queen Dowager glanced at her lazily and replied indifferently, “What is there to be angry about?”

Queen Catherine hesitated before saying. “I've heard everything... and I'm afraid others have as well. This

matter concerns you, and people outside must be talking. The King’s anger is understandable. He spent over a

decade building his imperial authority, only for it to crumble overnight. It's hard to blhim for that.”

“What are you trying to say?” Queen Dowager asked.

Queen Catherine moved even closer. “Why don’t you go to court tomorrow,” she suggested. “Just say that you

privately ordered Isolde to lead three thousand soldiers out of Zloimond, and that it was all your idea. That way,

the King can save face in front of the civil and military officials.”

After speaking, she noticed Queen Dowager’s cold stare and felt a chill in her heart. Still, she was unwilling to

back down and muttered. “It was your idea in the first place. Why should the King take the blfor you?”

‘Queen Dowager’s tone remained indifferent. “If this is what you and your son want, fine. | will go to court

tomorrow.

Queen Catherine immediately beamed with joy. “Really?”

“Really. Go back now Queen Dowager said.

Overjoyed. Queen Catherine left in high spirits.

But Out

Queen Dowager pressed a hand to her forehead, her expression darkening with disappointment. really

disappointed in the King this time.”

Judith tried to soothe her. “Please don’t be angry, Your Majesty. The King will cto understand in time.”

The Queen's anger had yet to subside. “This empire bears the surnConway, not Dowager. How long must |

wait for him to understand?”

Rowena added, “Didn’t you once say you were waiting for him to have an outburst?”

“This is a child's tantrum, not the fury of a true King!” Queen Dowager retorted coldly.

“I don’t understand, Rowena admitted.
