Chapter 245
“Markus, let us lead the vanguard and rescue Waldo immediately.” Jessica ignored the stunned stares around her, her sharp gaze locked on Markus, who had just arrived with the Royal Guard.
Markus had already been deeply impressed by her strategic brilliance in the previous campaign.
Now, having witnessed her unfathomable martial skills firsthand, Markus realized that admiration alone couldn’t begin to capture what he felt. He was in absolute awe.
By now, Markus didn’t just admire Jessica, he practically worshipped her.
“At once, Ms. Yates!” Before Markus could even finish his reply, her horse neighed sharply. Dust billowed into the air, and in the blink of an eye, her figure vanished.
Before Markus could even finish his reply, her horse neighed sharply. Dust billowed into the air, and in the blink of an eye, her figure vanished!
She was gone just like that.
In the blink of an eye, she vanished before everyone’s eyes, leaving behind only a billowing cloud of dust.
Markus froze in shock.
Finally snapping out of his daze, Garbisch’s heart raced with anxiety at the thought of Jessica facing the black wolf pack alone. He leapt onto his horse and commanded, “Aunties, men of the Royal Guard! To the Beast Zone at once, we must rescue Waldo!”
By now, Markus had finally snapped out of his daze.
Seeing Garbisch and the ladies charge in first, Markus didn’t dare waste another second. He quickly rallied the Royal Guard and led them straight into the hunting grounds.
He thought, ‘Weren’t we supposed to lead the vanguard with Ms. Yates? So where is she now? Not even a shadow in sight, she’s vanished without a trace!‘
Dust swirled violently, the earth–shaking hoofbeats striking dread into all who heard.
Leon clutched his chest, suppressing the surge of blood, then shot a sharp glance at Magnus.
“Right away!” Magnus answered promptly.
Magnus promptly led the eighteen riders and rushed inside after the others.
The dust settled.
Outside, the onlookers‘ hearts kept pounding like war drums, unable to settle for even a moment.
“You… you must have known all along…” Nolan stammered, gripping Monica’s arm so tightly in his agitation that his fingers wouldn’t release.
Monica let out a sigh, her feelings a complicated mix.
Having grown up by Jessica’s side, she naturally knew everything about her.
Since childhood, Jessica had been personally trained by several reclusive warriors whose abilities were far beyond Nolan’s imagination.
Both Jessica and Celine were personally taught strategic skills by Fawn Knowles. However, Fawn once said that, compared to Celine, Jessica surpassed
her.
But at this moment, Monica couldn’t stop to explain much to Nolan, she still had Jessica’s orders to carry out.

Chapter 245
Monica stepped before the King and dropped to her knees with a heavy thud.
The King still stood frozen in place, the shock from Jessica’s devastating strike yet to fully subside.
Monica knelt before the gaping fissure, a chasm so vast behind her slender frame, it seemed capable of swallowing her whole.
Among the seasoned warriors present, not one dared claim they could make a crack even half as deep or as long as this one.
It was absolutely impossible.
The King was a monarch forged in the saddle, once a general himself. He knew all too well just how terrifying Jessica’s internal strength truly was.
The King’s gaze settled on Monica.
The King naturally recognized her. After all, she had always been by Jessica’s side.
As a mere maidservant, Monica had no right to speak before the King. So she knelt in silence, not daring to utter a word.
Finally regaining his composure, the King allowed Andrew to help him into his seat. He looked down at Monica and asked, “What did your lady want you to tell me?”
