Finnian said coldly, “In any case, you'd best watch yourself. If Kamari truly harbors treacherous ambitions, I will

have no choice but to cast you out of the Charlic family.”

Ashley furrowed his brows. “Grandfather, the Queen Mother once ruled in the King’s stead, disrupting the natural

order. The King himself is weak-willed, his governance stagnant, and in recent years, the surrounding barbarian

states have repeatedly invaded our borders. “The Empire is on the brink of collapse. Now, the King has stepped

forward-this is destiny at work. With your vast wisdom, if you were to guide a true ruler, imagine the heights our

family could reach in the future.”

Finnian stared at her, his expression changing drastically.

He did not completely believe Keith. He was testing Ashley.

Little did they expect, this trial immediately revealed Kamari’s hidden ambitions.

He thought, Kamari indeed har

thoughts of rebellion.

Ashley continued, seeing that he remained silent, thinking he might be swayed, and pressed on, “Grandfather,

the current Queen Mother has caused chaos in the palace. First, she becthe late King’s Queen, then married

the regent, who was later crowned the King. “Now, she is the Queen Mother, but whose Queen Mother is she?

The late King’s or the regent’s? The turmoil all stems from the Queen Mother. The King seeks to restore order

and expel those who have corrupted the court. “He will surely earn the support of the people. Grandfather,

everything | say today is for the good of our family. Please, consider carefully. If you are willing to support the

King, he will respect you.”

Finnian slowly stood up, walking around the room with his hands behind his back. He then fixed his gaze on her,

his eyes filled with a painful and disappointed expression as if reproaching her for her actions. “Leave. From now

on, don’t cback. Whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with the Charlie family. Consider it as if | never

adopted you,” he said.

Finnian had lived his entire life without children, so he had taken in an orphaned baby girl in his later years,

raising her as his own granddaughter.

He named her Ashley. Sadly, she had betrayed his expectations.

After being chased out of the family, Ashley was not sad at all. Her tone was regretful. “Since you insist, so be it.

However, | will wait for you to change your mind at any time.”

With that, she bowed and left.

Outside the door, Halcyon happened to cover. When she saw Ashley, she was delighted. Halcyon held her

hand and said, “You're back! Stay for dinner tonight.”

Ashley bowed slightly. “No, thanks. Mrs. Charlie. Goodbye.”

With that, she pulled back her hand and turned to leave with a cold expression.

Halcyon was completely stunned. Looking at her determined back, she muttered, “Mrs. Charlie? She called me

Mrs. Charlie?”

Finnian walked out with his hands clasped behind his back, his face stern. “Very well. From now on, it's as if |

never raised her. In the end, she was nothing but trouble.”

Halevon'’s face turned nale with shock as she looked at Finnian

Keith also quietly left.

Ever since Doug returned, he had not stayed at the hotel. Instead, he rented a house to temporarily live with

Hattie and Hazel.

When Keith returned to the house. Hattie and Hazel had also returned.

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison. “It's settled.”

Keith heaved a sigh of relief. “Now, we're just waiting for Lady Isold.”

At Duke's estate, after Harlan recovered, he returned to Duke's estate to pack his things.

He was recuperating at the Sharp family, so he knew where Isolde had gone. Therefore, he packed his things and

rushed to Zloimond.

He did not even inform Geoffrey when he went back. If the gatekeeper had not informed him, Geoffrey would not

have known that Harlan had returned.

Geoffrey felt a deep sense of guilt toward Harlan, the man who had followed him for decades. Though in the

nthey were master and servant, in truth, they were brothers in all but blood.

He had previously instructed Harlan to drug Isolde and send her back to Windermount, but she had almost been

killed.

Geoffrey cto Harlan’s room. Seeing that he was packing, Geoffrey smiled bitterly. “Even you want to leave?

Yeah, no one is willing to stay by my side now.”

Harlan experienced a lot. He no longer hated Geoffrey as much as before.

They had accompanied each other for more than half of these decades.

He did not specifically inform Geoffre that he was back because the task was rushed and he had to hurry up.

He put down the things in his hand and said, “I’m only leaving for a while. I'll cback eventually. You're my

master. If you don’t chaseaway, | won't dare to leave.”

There was a trace of resentment in his words, but ultimately, it was merely to vent sfrustration on Isolde’s

behalf. Deep down, he understood the hardships Geoffrey had endured over the years, which was why he could

never truly bring himself to be too harsh.

“Where are you going?” Geoffrey's expression softened. He knew that Harlan would keep his word, so he heaved

a sigh of relief.

“Go to Zloimond!” Harlan continued to pack his luggage and put all the medicine in the room into his bag.

Geoffrey could not help but ask, “Why are you going to Zloimond? Zloimond is a dangerous place now. If you

don’t have anything important, it's better not to go.”

“Of course, it matters. Lady Isolde has never set foot on a battlefield-how could | not go?” Harlan assumed that

Geoffrey would already be aware of this. After all, both Doug and Kolton had traveled to Zloimond together-such

a thing could hardly be kept from Geoffrey.

Geoffrey's expression changed drastically. “What? Who's going to the battlefield? Lady Isolde?”

Harlan was stunned. “You don’t know?”

“Know what? Are you saying Isolde has gone to the battlefield? Is this true?” Geoffrey asked in shock. But that

couldn’t be possible-there were countless skilled generals in the court. They wouldn't send a woman to war,

especially one who had never set foot on a battlefield.

Military affairs were not to be taken lightly, and the lives of soldiers were not something to be recklessly

sacrificed.

Harlan stopped and sat down.

His face was pale, and his movements were not as agile as before. He knew that.

He looked at Geoffrey and said, “Queen Mother has issued a decree ordering Lady Isolde to lead 3,000 soldiers to

Zloimond and defeat the rebel army.”

Geoffrey was so scared.

“3000 soldiers? And Isolde leading them?” Geoffrey lowered his voice. Once, he had held the Queen Mother in

the highest regard, but now, through gritted teeth, he spat, “Has she gone mad? She’s sending Isolde and those

three thousand men to their deaths!”

Whether Kamari would rebel was still uncertain, yet the King had recklessly decided to send troops. It was far too

dangerous-if this move provoked Kamari into open rebellion, Isolde and those three thousand soldiers wouldn't

even be enough to satisfy the appetite of his tens of thousands of troops.

Harlan looked at Geoffrey and said, “So, I'll pack up and go to Zloimond. Don’t worry, I'll protect Lady

Isolde.”

Geoffrey was so anxious that his eyes turned red. “It's too dangerous. | have to go.”

Harlan was stunned. “How can you go? You were once a general, but now you serve as an official in the High

Court of Parliament. “Without the King’s decree, how can you abandon your post? And without a King’s Edict to

accompany the army, joining the battle is a crpunishable by death!”
