The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 304 Don’t Dare to Speculate

Finished

After calming down, the King said, “I have just issued a decree, granting Finnian’s granddaughter the title of

consort.”

“Mm, she has rendered meritorious service. She deserves the title and the reward,” the Queen Mother said calmly.

“Then I’ll get Oliver to announce the decree!”

The Queen Mother looked at Oliver. “Oliver, stay behind for a moment. We have prepared wedding gifts for you. Be sure to take them before you leave.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Oliver said.

The Queen Mother looked at the King. “Go and rest. This matter is settled. King Kamari hasn’t harmed our Eryndral Empire, so there’s no need to keep dwelling on it. Forget all that talk about winning the people’s hearts. Just understand this, and that will be enough.”

“Yes. Mother, you should rest early as well. I take my leave.” The King left, walking alongside Clark.

After the King left, the Queen Mother looked at Oliver. “Tell me the source of these letters!”

Oliver was startled. Meeting the Queen Mother’s piercing gaze, he lowered his head and said, “Yes, I am guilty. These letters were obtained in Zloimond, but I was unable to open them. It was Ashley who helped me unlock them.”

“Ashley?” The Queen Mother sneered.

Oliver remained silent, unsure whether she was angry or not.

“Do you know why they were spared?” the Queen Mother asked Oliver, no longer mentioning Ashley.

Oliver replied, “I understand. As you said, they are still useful and can be kept for now.”

Suddenly, the Queen Mother slammed the armrest of her chair and shouted angrily, “They are traitors! Do you think I don’t want to kill them? The chaos in Zloimond happened because these people fanned the flames, eager to see the world in turmoil! They are useful, but do you think we can’t find replacements for them? Among all the officials in court, there are plenty who surpass them! And yet, we still cannot kill them!”

Oliver was stunned. He did not know what the Queen Mother meant.

The Queen Mother looked at him. “Stay behind after the morning court session tomorrow.”

“Yes!” Oliver replied.

The Queen Mother let out a deep sigh. “There are two reasons why they were not executed. First, among this group, only a few truly harbored intentions of rebellion. But if we were to kill them, we would have to eliminate them all…”

She tossed a few letters in front of him. “Look at these. What kind of information did they send to King Kamari?”

Oliver took the letters, glanced through them, and said, “They contain information about the new tax
