Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1041

At the Quinton family's residence, Malcolm straightened his clothes and said, "You're being foolish, dear. How could you believe Carissa's deception? If Her Majesty really stepped in to support the workshop, wouldn't she be scorned by the civil officials? "Right now, the queen doesn't need to do anything-Prince Connor's position as the crown prince is already nearly secure. He is the legitimate eldest son. Who else could it be but him?"

Marjorie remained seated, her expression calm as she asked, "If that's the case, then why did you target the workshop, my lord?"

Since the matter with Casey, Marjorie had stopped addressing him affectionately. After so many years of marriage, there was a clear distance between them now.

Malcolm pursed his lips, silent, though the darkness in his eyes deepened.

Marjorie understood the reason, and when he remained silent, she added, "His Majesty is in his prime and there's no talk of choosing a crown prince. The palace is full of concubines, so the number of princes will only grow.

"If another prince emerges, wiser and more capable than Prince Connor, won't His Majesty take that into consideration? Right now, His Majesty refuses to discuss the position of crown prince, and I'm sure you know the reason for that better than I do. But one thing is certain-Prince Connor is mediocre and His Majesty looks down on him."

Malcolm furrowed his brow, wanting to argue, but there was nothing he could say.

In the end, he simply responded, "If we anger His Majesty and provoke the nobles and civil officials, it won't be good for the queen. Don't be foolish, dear."

Marjorie replied, "With the Hell Monarch's princess consort and Mrs. Lloyd leading the charge, there's no need for the queen to raise a banner herself. She could test the queen dowager's stance first. If the queen dowager approves, the queen could send some money to the workshop.

queen dowager. If the king doesn't say anything, it'll just be some rumors outside. But in the long run, it would benefit both the queen and Prince Connor's reputation. After all, you believe the workshop can succeed.
