Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1309

Lydia wasn’t able to see Connor herself. Instead, she heard from the servants of Serenity Palace that Connor was busy copying the Thousand Verses. Victoria had forbidden anyone from interrupting him.

Lydia knew well that Connor had always despised writing, so how could he quietly obey such an order?

News from Serenity Palace was hard to come by, and no amount of bribery would help–there were strict rules in place. Lydia had no choice but to persist, and after much effort, she finally got a vague answer: Victoria had commanded that Connor would eat only once he finished his copying for the day.

Lydia was taken aback. “Prince Connor hasn’t eaten since entering Serenity Palace?” He had left for Goldleaf Palace at first light and hadn’t had breakfast. It was now well past noon, yet no food was in sight?

But no one answered her. After standing outside for a long time, Lydia had no choice but to return to Everspring Palace to report.

Upon hearing that Connor hadn’t even been fed in Serenity Palace, Kylie’s heart tightened with pain. She clenched her fists in anger.

“That’s her grandson! How could she be so heartless? This will not do! I’m going to Serenity Palace to bring him back. When has he ever had to endure such hardship?”

Lydia quickly stopped her. “Your Majesty, you’re still under house arrest. You cannot go. If you anger His Majesty again, who knows how long the house arrest will last?”

Tears sprang to Kylie’s eyes as she glared at Lydia. “Do you expect me to just stand by and watch my son suffer?”

“As you said, Prince Connor is still the queen dowager’s grandson. If he’s truly hungry, she will not allow him to suffer. I believe the queen dowager hopes he will become more diligent. Perhaps under her guidance, Prince Connor will change for the better,” Lydia replied.
