Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1305

The inkpot didn’t hit Connor–Derek had made sure to step in and block it. At this crucial moment, Connor couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

Even though it hadn’t struck him, the boy was terrified. He burst into loud, uncontrollable sobs.

Salvador’s fury was unrelenting. “At your age, I could recite The Thousand Verses with ease! You can’t even manage two proper lines! From now on, you’ll live in your grandmother’s palace.”

Connor’s wails grew louder at the decree. “No! I don’t want to go! I want to stay with Mom! I hate Grandmother!”

He truly did hate visiting Victoria. Every time he went to see her, she would drill him on his studies–just like his dad. Connor despised being questioned about reading and lessons. Why did everyone insist he study all the time?

Giovanni promptly summoned two young chamberlains to escort Connor to Serenity Palace.

Derek began tidying up the shattered inkpot quietly. His expression was an unreadable mix of emotions. Finally, he murmured, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger.”

Salvador’s chest heaved as he struggled to suppress his fury and frustration. His mind churned with thoughts of contingency plans. If the worst comes to pass, perhaps he would have Victoria govern from behind the scenes until Connor grew older.
