The King initially intended to draft two decrees, but in the end, he only instructed Clark to draft the decree conferring Ashley the title of imperial consort.

A consort was different from a concubine. It was a more prestigious status among the King’s concubines. Therefore, the King also ordered the Imperial Astronomers to select an auspicious date immediately.

“Oliver, take the decree and follow me to Mystic Palace,” the King said.

“Yes!” Oliver replied. He had thought the King would immediately issue an order to arrest those involved, but he didn’t. It was clear that he had considered it. Oliver couldn’t figure out why.

The King did not take a palanquin. Instead, he walked alongside Oliver and Clark.

Bringing Clark along was a sign that the King was still considering issuing an edict.

As night fell, the palace was indescribably quiet.

The King remained silent the entire way, his expression dark and unsettling.

Oliver and Clark did not dare to speak.

As they were about to reach Mystic Palace, the King suddenly asked Oliver, “What do you think should be done?”

Oliver hesitated for a moment before replying, “Rebels must be executed!”

“Killing is easy!” the King said, his tone laced with frustration, but he didn’t finish his thought.

After a brief pause, he added, “You are a man of the military, but ruling a nation is different from commanding an army. The Queen Mother once said that killing is never the best solution.”

“Understood,” Oliver responded.

Upon arriving at Mystic Palace, Clark remained outside while the King took Oliver in. Naturally, this was because Oliver was the one who had reported the matter, and he needed to inform the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was just about to have her meal. Seeing the King and Oliver arrive, she invited them to join her.

However, the King had no appetite. He wanted to report the situation first.

Even so, the Queen Mother did not allow him to speak. “Meals come first, even for an King. Eat first, then
