Chapter 339
I felt gratitude for Richard, but also hatred.
Ultimately, it was because I wasn’t strong enough.
“Have you decided? Then I’ll go arrest him and put him under house arrest with Lily p>
Helen was eager to get started. As long as I wasn’t marrying Richard, she would do anything to help me.
“Be careful.” Given how well Richard knew me, had he anticipated my betrayal?
A wave of worry washed over me as I looked at Helen. “Everyone will make it out alive, right p>
Helen nodded. “Don’t worry about me p>
She didn’t want me to worry, but I knew this was an all-or-nothing gamble.
Richard was more dangerous than anyone.
After seeing Helen off, I was about to turn back when a sarcastic voice drifted from behind me. “Lenore’s daughter is certainly a cunning one p>
I turned to see a woman with a full head of silver hair, worn loose and flowing. She was dressed in a simple white linen gown and plain white cloth shoes.
Her style was casual, yet she exuded an air of nobility.
“And you are?” I had a feeling I knew. Could this be Richard and Lily’s mother?
“Who am I? You tell me who I am. I really don’t know who I am. Hahaha, who am I? Can anyone tell me who I am?” She suddenly became frantic, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. Then she let go, rushed into the corridor, and grabbed a servant. “Who am I p>
The servants all knelt. “You are our First Lady p>
First Lady?
“No, I’m not! I’m not p>
She clutched the back of her head, questioning herself, then looked back at me. “Lenore, are you here to steal my Richard p>
“Lenore, do you have any idea what the consequences will be if you take my Richard? I’ll kill you! I’ll kill everyone p>
As a gust of wind blew past, a squad of guards ran over and escorted her out of my sight.
But as the First Lady was led away, she glanced back at me, biting her finger, and gave a sinister smile.
Why release her now, of all times? Just when I had decided to move against Richard, the First Lady was let out.
Was Richard trying to remind me that my mother was at fault?
Or did he want me to see how much suffering my mother caused by coming between them?
But none of that justified making me a scapegoat.
When did the next generation become responsible for the grievances of the last?
Returning to my room, I saw several maids had laid out a bulletproof vest for me “Princess Claire, the emperor of Bravenland said this is your battle attire. You will be safer wearing p>
In their eyes, I was still a princess, and Richard was still the emperor.
“Where is Richard p>
I didn’t call him emperor like they did. The maids all bowed their heads.
“I have the seal of command, yet you all still only listen to him p>
“Or does Richard want me to kill everyone who serves him?” My cold words terrified the maids, who
dropped to their knees “Princene
Claire the new emperor. We were wrong. Lord Richard is already at the front lines, clearing the path for you p>
What a phrase, “clearing the path for me p>
But as I left, I told the maids, “You don’t need to follow p>
I got in a car and drove off myself.
Not long after Heft, I received a message from Helen: [Richard has been captured. The front line is mostly people from the slums. Their moral is high because of you, so there shouldn’t be a problem But
just in case there are spies, you should stay away p>
