Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1123

These past few days, the talk on the streets and in alleys was all about Yuvan and his family. No one mentioned a word about Violet.

Violet’s apprentices were no pushovers. Not only did no one dare to criticize her, but when someone even lightly mentioned the connection between Violet and Molly, they quickly found someone to lash out at those people. novelbin

Sisters in unity? Violet and Molly were cousins with different parents. Molly had married out and become part of her husband’s family. What connection did she have with the Spencer family or Violet?

As for the incident at the western mountain pass, Thomas had sent someone to investigate. It was confirmed that witnesses had seen a group of men abducting a young woman who appeared to be disoriented. Some common folk had even tried to help, brandishing hoes. However, none of them could make out the woman’s face, as it had grown dark and she had been struggling. Her hair had been a mess, obscuring her features.

Thomas was relieved when he heard they couldn’t see her face.

On the other hand, Yuvan and his household had borne the brunt of the people’s anger. The king himself had issued an edict reprimanding them, showing just how serious the situation was. People cursed the powerful, venting their anger, but they also praised the king’s wisdom for not shielding Yuvan just because he was his uncle.

Yuvan’s wounds had taken a turn for the worse. His stubborn nature was partly to blame. He refused to believe that his condition was grave. He insisted on reading erotic literature to see if he was really incapable of performing, which only worsened his condition.

He had summoned nearly every famous physician in the capital, but only a few had turned up. The royal physicians had also visited. After all, he was still royalty. Plus, Ruth had heard about his condition and had begged Victoria to assign a few royal physicians to attend to him.

All the physicians gave the same grim diagnosis. The damage had been done, and recovery would be difficult. However, they mentioned that if Yuvan could somehow get Sebastian to treat him, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

In a fit of anger, Yuvan ordered Wayne and Fiona to fetch Sebastian. If they couldn’t bring him back, he would beg his mom.

As luck would have it, Sebastian had left the city the day before. He had claimed it was to gather a rare medicinal herb that only bloomed once every hundred years. He had spoken to someone at Arcane Sanctum and was expected to return in about half a month.

Half a month? By then, it would be too late.

Yuvan could only lie in frustration, powerless due to his rib and leg injuries. Confined to his bed, he was unable to return to Valken. His situation felt no different than imprisonment. His impoverished estate also required many purchases.

The money Molly had brought was now all spent, so she wrote a letter seeking help from the Spencer family.

Meanwhile, the head of the Spencer family, Eustace Spencer, had already received a detailed letter from his beloved daughter, Violet.

Eustace had initially planned to travel to the capital, but the messenger stopped him. The latter explained that since Violet was safe, his arrival in the city could raise suspicions. After all, no one suspected it was Violet who had been abducted.

Eustace was still fuming with anger, and he convened a meeting with the family elders. They discussed the scandal caused by Yuvan and the investigation’s findings that it was Molly herself who had administered the aphrodisiac to Violet, making her an accomplice.

They agreed that such behavior was disgraceful and unworthy of the Spencer family name. To avoid further tarnishing their reputation, they decided Molly could no longer remain a part of the family.

The Spencer family officially expelled her and filed the necessary paperwork with the authorities. They even made a public announcement, declaring that Yuvan’s princess consort, Molly, was no longer affiliated with the Spencer family.

Without the Spencer family’s support, Molly became useless to Yuvan.

When news of this reached the capital, Yuvan grew utterly disgusted with Molly. However, at this point, it was too delicate to outright dismiss her. Instead, he ordered that she be sent to Verdant Monastery–the same place Avis had been sent to recover from illness and await her death.

Yuvan’s fury toward Molly was intense. Not only had she been of no help in the grove, but she had also confessed everything, leaving him in such a precarious position.

In truth, this was nothing more than his excuse to shift the blame. Even if Molly had kept silent, the situation would have remained hopeless. He had been caught red–handed and quickly surrounded by a large force, leaving him no chance of escape.

By placing the blame on Molly, Yuvan could convince himself that the disaster was not due to his own lust, which had led to this irreversible downfall.
