Chapter 106
Although Jessica’s words were harsh, given the current situation, Garbisch could no longer afford to be upright and honest,
The Yates family now stood on shaky ground, teetering in the storm. One wrong move, and they would be completely ruined
Sure enough. Carbisch fell silent immediately, his expression darkening
Adele hadn’t expected her to use the tactics of the inner palace against him.
“Jessica, I can’t get married. If I do, L…” He didn’t finish the sentence..
Thanks to Jessica’s an angements during the tournament, the Yates family won a beautiful victory.
Even the doubts and criticism toward Garbisch from the outside world had lessened considerably.
But now, if he were to many, the secret about his health would no longer be hidden
At that point, Adele would certainly make a fuss, and ultimately, her goal would still be the same. It was to take away the 100,000–strong rates family
army.
“Garbisch, don’t panic, I’ll figure something out. For now, if you don’t want to go out, then focus on studying the current situation in the southern border,” Jessica said with a comforting smile.
No matter the time, when Garbisch saw Jessica smile like that, he couldn’t help but feel calm.
She looked delicate and fragile, yet in many people’s hearts, she was the very pillar of strength.
However, not everyone could recognize that.
He asked, “Jessica, do you really want me to lead troops to the southern border?”
Jessica nodded. “War in the South has flared up again these past few years. The rebel forces see that Grandpa is aging and might not be able to hold the line anymore, so they’re stirring restlessly.” She added, “The southern border really does need you. But your body isn’t fully recovered yet. You must take care of yourself.”
Jessica continued gently, “As for the imperial marriage decree, I’ll handle that. You don’t have to worry”
On the way out of Lucid Pavilion, Monica couldn’t help but say, “Ms, Yates, since the matter of marriage has already been brought up, I fear it won’t be lang before it’s finalized.”
She added, “If you want Mr. Yalles to lead the Yates family army to the southern border, His Majesty will definitely insist he marries first.”
Monica twisted her fingers anxiously. “Ms. Yates, this is urgent, far more serious than you made it sound. You were just trying to comfort Mr. Yates, weren’t you?”
“Don’t scare him. Let him study the southern situation in peace. It’ll come in handy sooner or later, Jessica replied softly.
But Monica still looked uneasy. “Would the royal family really allow Mr. Yates to take the army and leave? They’ve long had the intention of reclaiming that army. I fear once he marries, his new wife will expose his condition, and then His Majesty will have the perfect excuse to declare Mic Yates unfit to lead and reclaim the army
She stared at Jessica “Ms. Yates, do you really have a plan?”
1 don’t know,” Jessica said quietly. She was only human, not a deity. There were many difficulties she couldn’t simply solve with ease.
She said, “But don’t trouble Garbisch with this for now. I’ll go visit the Queen Mother this afternoon and try to find out more.”
Chapter 106
That afternoon, Jessica entered the palace, but she never got the chance to see the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother and Adele had gone to Jovial Palace to pray and seek blessings.
When they returned, word spread that the Queen Mother wasn’t feeling well. She had gone to rest immediately and wasn’t seeing anyone.
Jessica waited the entire afternoon.
By nightfall, Darcy came to say, “Queen Mother is tired today and doesn’t have the energy to meat can pass along a message for you.”
It was a polite way of asking Jessica to leave insediately and not disturb the
Queen Mother
t you. Is there something important, M. Yates? If so, 1
Jessica bowed slightly and said, “I heard the Queen Mother was feeling unwell and came to pay my respects. Since she is resting return another day:
Darcy smiled. “Very well. I must go tend to Queen Mother, so I won’t see you out.”
Jessica nodded and had just left Eternal Palace when someone followed behind her. “You want to see Queen Mother? What a pity. You won’t get the chance unless you have my permission.”
