Her Majestic Battle Cry 647

Chapter 647

When Samuel’s trial began, the first ruling was to severall ties between him and Leona, the Duchess of Everpeace. This complete break showed no regard for protecting the dignity of the Earl of Gracehold’s family.

Then, Samuel was found guilty of brutally beating his rightful wife, which resulted in the death of their unborn child. Given that Leona was part of the royal family and had the king’s royal edict backing her, the Supreme Court’s deputy minister sentenced Samuel to ten years of exile in Quarath. He would be subjected to the supervision of the local authorities there and forced to do hard labor, including farming.

The ruling was immediate and would take effect the very next day, leaving the Earl of Gracehold’s family with no chance to plead mercy from anyone.

However, Noah didn’t pursue any appeals either. He had spoken to Yuvan, who informed him that he had already interceded on Noah’s behalf with the queen dowager. Samuel would be the only one punished, and Noah’s title would remain intact.

However, Yuvan warned Noah not to stir up any more trouble. If he did, things could spiral out of control.

Noah didn’t dare mention Samuel’s sentence to Dorothy. All she knew was that Samuel was in prison and safe from hardship. However, the knowledge did little to ease her heart. After all, Samuel was her beloved grandchild whom she had spoiled and nurtured.

When Samuel was being escorted to Quarath, Noah and Abigail went to bid him farewell.

During that time, a servant inadvertently let slip the details of Samuel’s sentence, causing Dorothy to faint on the spot. She had already been on a hunger strike for two days, which had taken a toll on her health. Coupled with her age, her sudden anger and heartbreak caused the lower half of her body to be paralyzed. Her mouth was askew, and she couldn’t stop drool from leaking out. She could also hardly articulate her words.
