Chapter 302 The Imperial Edict

Seamus caught the implication. “Several officials?”

“Of course, there can be more than ten of them. Sof them have higher ranks than you!” Ashley said proudly.

Seamus hadn't expected that other officials’ letters had also been intercepted. If that was the case, Ashley

intended to expand Kamari’s influence entirely within Argentum.

What exactly is this woman planning? Just the title of Consort Ashley? he thought.

“Sir, think about it carefully. If you choose to be loyal to The King, let him see how loyal you are!” Ashley stood

up and bowed. “Goodbye!”

Seamus’ face turned ashen as he slumped weakly into his chair.

Ashley left Seamus'’s residence with a smile.

The second person was the Crown Prince’s Young Master, Deangelo Nicholson.

The third was the Marshal of the Imperial Guards.

At night, Oliver cto the Duke's estate again.

Hearing Oliver's words, Isolde said, “She’s quite smart. She knows how to use evidence to restrain these

ministers. If these people recommend her, she will have secured her position in the imperial harem.”

“I thought she would go straight to the palace,” Oliver said.

Isolde shook her head. “She wouldn't be able to enter the palace so easily. Even if she did and handed these

letters to the King, she wouldn't be able to explain everything away. Entering the palace would earn her only

temporary merit, but by holding these ministers in check, she can continuously draw power and support. When

you think about it, her strategy is obvious.”

“You're right,” Oliver said.

Isolde asked, “Are those letters in her hands now?”

“Hattie managed to retrieve them, but she already took several. So, we're missing a few,” Oliver said.

He took a stack of letters from his sleeve and placed them in front of Isolde.

The letters were originally sealed with lacquer stamps, but since King Kamari had read them, the seals had been

broken.

Isolde them one by one, then handed them to Oliver after reading.

There were a total of thirty-two letters, all of significant importance, revealing many confitial court affairs and

strategic operations.

These ministers ranged from civil officials to generals and marshals, spanning various government departments.

In other words, Kamari had infiltrated all levels of the court. Through these individuals, he knew every policy

decision and every move made by The King.

Imperial Guards would have definitely sent word to King Kamari. Fortunately, it was the North Camp Army that

was dispatched instead,” Oliver said, still shaken.

“That's right. Thinking about it, | was too rash when | barged into the palace back then. Perhaps the queen

Dowager had already suppressed the news. Otherwise, there would definitely be sclues that were seen

through and the news would have reached King Kamari’s residence.”

“And there are people within the Ministry of Revenue as well. If you request military provisions from them, it

would be extremely dangerous.”

“For that, we really have to thank Collin!” Isolde said with a mysterious smile.

Oliver looked at her. “Yes, Everfort Granary has certainly made a nfor itself this time. You've earned a lot.”

Isolde chuckled. “Don’t worry, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. We'll spend our money together.”

“Ill give you all my money and salary.” Oliver said.

Isolde’s lips curled up. “Good!”

The two stared at each other foolishly for a moment before bursting into laughter.

“Alright, let's get back to business!” Oliver said, his gaze lingering on her lips. If he looked any longer, he might

just do something reckless.

Isolde reluctantly averted her eyes, “Okay!”

Just by looking at him, she could feel as if tstretched into eternity.

Feeling amused by her own poetic sentiment, she couldn't help but smile even wider.

“Go into the palace this evening and bring these letters with you,” Isolde said.

“Mm!” Oliver nodded, looking every bit like a husband obediently following his wife's orders.

“These ministers have a lot of power in Argentum, and many cfrom big noble families. Even if they fall,

Ashley will only make the other noble families hate her. They'll do everything they can to bring her down. So, her

plan to rise to power is already a failure. But she still has to be given the title of consort. The higher she climbs,

the harder she'll fall. The problem is, these letters are only being handed over now. What will the King think?

Ashley will have a lot to explain... and tomorrow’s morning court session will be interesting.”

“Tell the King that all these letters were provided by Ashley. She can enter the palace immediately, and her title

as Consort Ashley should be decided soon. As for tomorrow's morning court, if someone suddenly proposes to

promote her, it will be quite the spectacle,” Oliver said.

“That's right. We don’t need to gain anything from this. The queen Dowager told us to be cautious, so we should

avoid making ourselves a target. If we are to rise in rank, it should be through real you take credit for this today,

you'll only earn more enemies.”

“Don’t worry, | understand. | don’t care about such credit.” Oliver smiled.

Isolde looked at him. “Alright, go and get ready. Head to the palace immediately.”

“Alright!” Oliver stood up and pulled her hand gently. “Walkout.”

“Okay, I'll walk you to the door.” Isolde stood up, feeling happy as she gazed into his affectionate eyes,

Oliver gathered the letters, changed into a fresh outfit, and ordered a carriage to be prepared for his trip to the

palace.

Inside the Imperial study.

The King was about to have his dinner when he heard that Oliver had something urgent to report. He decided to

see him first.

One letter after another was placed in front of the King.

The King looked at them one by one, and the veins on his forehead bulged. “My most trusted officials...”

He looked up. “Where did the letters cfrom?”

“Your Majesty, they were given by Ashley. She gathered this evidence herself.”

“With this evidence, why didn’t she hand it over to Isolde that day?” the King asked with a frown.

“I don’t know, Your Majesty,” Oliver replied, sticking to the explanation he had prepared. “Today, Ashley suddenly

ctowith these letters and askedto deliver them to you.”

The King let out a cold laugh. “Clever indeed.”

Oliver was slightly startled. “Your Majesty, what do you mean?”

The King spoke coldly, “She planned to hand over this evidence only after entering the palace. And what does

she seek? A higher rank! Because the Queen Mother's illness delayed her entry into the palace, she grew

uneasy. That's why she used you to present this evidence. She had no other choice.”

Oliver looked a bit lost. “I don’t know about this, Your Majesty.”

“Ashley has indeed contributed, but she is deeply calculating. Whether she is truly loyal or not is unclear. And

instead of accepting a generous reward, she insists on entering the palace. If it weren't for Finnian, | wouldn't

have approved it,” the King said.

Oliver asked, “For now, we can set aside Ashley. How does Your Majesty plan to deal with these people?”

The King slammed the table and said sternly, “If they are not executed, how will | maintain order? If conspiracy

and treason can be forgiven, then betrayals againstwill grow like weeds after the rain!”

“Understood!” Oliver had no sympathy for these people. Anyone who sought to overthrow the Eryndral Empire

and bring harm to the people deserved no mercy.

The King pondered for a moment before saying, “Do not spread word of this matter yet. | must report to the

Queen Mother.”

“Alright!” Oliver bowed in response.

The King tapped his fingers on the letters, his gaze deep and thoughtful. “Ashley...”

Suddenly, he looked up and commanded, “Summon Clark!”

Hearing this, Oliver understood that the King was about to issue an edict. He bowed and said, “I'll take my leave,

Your Majesty!”

“No need to rush. Since you are already in the palace, you shall act as my messenger this time,” the King said,

looking at him.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Oliver did not ask what the decree was about. He simply stood to the side, waiting for

orders.
