Thelma looked at the officials, who had stepped forward to speak in Ashley’s favor.

Wherever her gaze landed, everyone lowered their heads. Even Deangelo, despite maintaining a composed exterior, felt uneasy inside.

The hall fell into silence.

Like the other officials, Oliver lowered his head without speaking.

Thelma’s stern expression gradually softened into a smile. “Lord Nicholson, you have a point. But your petition is unnecessary. Last night, His Majesty already issued a decree conferring the title of consort upon Ashley.”

Deangelo was shocked that the decree had been issued the previous night since Ashley had also come to him with threats the very same day.

“His Majesty made a wise decision.” Deangelo forced a smile, not daring to meet Thelma’s eyes.

Thelma smiled and said, “That is for sure. Otherwise, how could he command the loyalty of the court and maintain peace in the realm? Well then, if there’s nothing else today, we shall end here.”Oh, by the way, I’ve been reading a sacred scripture lately. Would any of you like to accompany me to the prayer hall? How about…”

Her gaze swept over the officials who had recommended Ashley earlier. “The few of you?”

Their hearts sank as they replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Thelma added, “Let’s have a few senior officials join me as well. Great Marshal Sharp, Lord Porter, Marquis of Greystone, Lord Campbell, Lord Gunn, and Great Marshal Valois.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The named officials stepped forward and bowed.

Hearing this, Oliver also stepped out and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Thelma rose to her feet and said, “Alright, the few of you, head to Mystic Palace later.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The officials bowed.

A short moment later, more than a dozen people were waiting outside Mystic Palace.

Oliver kept his eyes down, lost in thought about what the Thelma had told him the previous night.

After a while, Rowena stepped out. “Great Marshal Sharp, Lord Porter, Marquis of Greystone, Lord Gunn, and Lord Campbell, Her Majesty requests your presence.”
