She couldn’t directly confront Ashley. This matter wasn’t entirely Ashley’s fault. Ashley had revealed the information, which could have been beneficial for both Layla and herself, and it would have been a blow to Isolde

Unfortunately, her overly ambitious brother had ruined everything.

She couldn’t vent her anger on Harper either, as he was only looking out for his future.

While she didn’t go looking for Ashley, Ashley came to her instead.

Ashley knew that Margaret had entered the palace twice in a row. Based on her calculations, the accusation should have been successfully lodged.

She had come to see the results.

After entering and paying her respects, Ashley asked, “How did it go in the palace?”

Margaret, who had barely managed to suppress her anger, felt a surge of irritation at the question. “How? Layla has been demoted to Noble Concubine. How do you think it went?”

Ashley was shocked. “Why is that?”

“Interference in court affairs,” Margaret said coldly.

Ashley straightened up slowly, frowning.

Strictly speaking, this couldn’t be considered interference in court affairs.

She had originally thought that interference in court affairs wasn’t taken too seriously in the Eryndral Empire, especially since the Queen Mother herself was involved in politics.

If Layla’s words were considered interference and she was punished for it, what use would there be for Ashley to enter the palace?

Even if she climbed to the highest position in the harem, she would only be the Queen.

And with the King in his prime, how long would she have to wait?

Moreover, she believed her greatest strength was her strategic mind. After entering the palace, she planned to use her strategies to win the King’s favor, gradually getting closer to court affairs. Even if she remained behind the scenes, offering advice to the King, she could at least gain his recognition. If she bore the King’s child, there was a possibility of the child being named Crown Prince.

If she couldn’t interfere in court affairs, how could she compete for favor? Relying on beauty alone would only last until her looks faded.

Margaret, of course, didn’t know what Ashley was thinking. She assumed Ashley was regretting her
