Queen Dowager said firmly. “Blaming others and avoiding responsibility is childish. If he is unhappy, he should discuss it with me logically and show me solid proof. A true ruler’s anger should be about his plans for governing and handling problems, not weak excuses like people’s complaints or small countries making

“Don’t be angry. Isn’t the King just struggling to understand for now! If you hadn’t learned certain things, you wouldn’t have sent Isolde Langley to eliminate Kamari Conway first The King doesn’t have foresight how can you blame him?” a woman said as she slowly walked in.

Rowena and Judith exchanged a glance and smiled, “Rosemary, you came at just the right time. Look, there’s quite a temper here.”

The newcomer was none other than Rosemary, the Marchioness of Greystone. Her late–night arrival suggested she brought good news.

Seeing her, the Queen Dowager’s anger mostly faded. As she thought over Rosemary’s words, only a trace of it remained. “You’re here so late, do you have good news?”

“Indeed!” Rosemary sat down confidently. “The people I sent out have reported back. Isolde secured a great victory. She’s now handling the aftermath, with Oliver assisting her. Everything is unfolding just as you predicted”

The Queen Mother’s expression softened slightly. “Hmm, I have confidence in Isolde. She excels in endurance battles and knows how to use speed against slower opponents.

“Then what are you so angry about?” Rosemary said. “Wasn’t the King’s anger within your expectations? Don’t hold him to such high standards. What he sees is different from what you see. It’s normal for him to have different opinions.

“I’m angry because he’s shirking responsibility, the Queen Dowager said irritably.

“He is, but as a king, what choice does he have? He has to establish his authority, otherwise, how can he rule?” Rosemary chuckled. “Alright, don’t be upset. He will come to understand your good intentions. This victory is credited to him. You’re helping him build his prestige and stabilize the chaos. In time, he’ll figure it out.”

“But he deposed your future son–in–law,” the Queen Dowager remarked.

However, Rosemary looked quite pleased. “That just proves Clark is truly reliable. When it mattered most, he didn’t betray his own sister for the sake of his future. He’s a good man. I like him!”

“I’ve seen the theories he wrote. They’re indeed insightful. It’s rare for a scholar to have such insight into strategy.” Queen Dowager was full of praise for him.

“I originally thought he was just a scholar, someone who understood reason at best. But I didn’t expect to have such insight. It seems Sadie has a good eye.”
