Chapter 240 Confiscation
13 Fashed
Ashley handed over the head of Kamari to Kolton and said, “I am Ashley, the granddaughter of the renowned
scholar Finnian Charlie of Zloimond. My grandfather had long seen through King Kamari’s ambitions, so he sent
distribution of his wealth
Kolton knew almost nothing about Ashley, but he had heard from Isolde that she was not someone to be trifled
with. However, no matter what, she had killed the rebellious Kamari and could testify to his rebellion, which
would be of great use to the King.
He said, “Mr. Charlie and Miss Charlie are both loyal and brave. | will report to His Majesty. Since you know about
Kamari’s rebellion, please accompanyto the capital to meet the King”
Ashley bowed and said, “If there is anything | can do, Marshal, please feel free to command. There are many
pieces of evidence within the royal residence. Please follow me”
Kolton raised his hand and called several soldiers to accompany him.
Oliver carried Isolde into the royal residence’s side room. She was seriously injured and needed immediate
treatment.
Harlan quickly ordered people to carry Geoffrey along. He knew that Oliver must have the Consumption Pills to
treat her condition.
Doug, along with Anthony and Lucas, dealt with the aftermath of the battle, offering leniency to the surrendered
soldiers.
He ordered Anthony to take a group of men to the rear courtyard, where the children, wives, and concubines of
Kamari were to be detained, but not mistreated.
Anthony received the order and left with his men.
The family members of Kamari were shocked by the chaos. Upon hearing the truth about Kamari’s betrayal, all of
them claimed to be unaware of his plans and begged Anthony for a lighter punishment.
Following Doug's orders, Anthony first detained the family members and began patrolling the area. As he went,
he heard the sound of crying.
Anthony followed the sound of crying and arrived at a secluded courtyard in the rear. He entered and saw a
young woman in green clothing, weeping as she leaned over a bloodstained woman on the bed. The woman's
clothes were soaked in blood, and it was unclear whether she was alive or dead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStartled by the sound of someone entering, the young woman quickly stood up, her eyes filled with hostility as
she glared at Anthony, on guard.
Anthony observed that the young woman resembled Kamari to sdegree. Looking at the woman on the bed,
who had an exquisite appearance and was dressed in fine clothing, he recalled that he had not seen any of
Kamari’s consorts earlier. He guessed that this woman must be one of Kamari’s wives.
“What happened to her?” Anthony asked.
“Don’t ccloser!” The young woman in green glared at Anthony, tears still on her face, but she tried to
appear fierce, attempting to scare him off.
“Don’t worry
Anthony said calmly “I ord Dour only ordered us to detain the neonle of the roual recidence

for now. His Majesty is merciful and won't harm you.”
Fleished
Upon hearing this, the young woman suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Anthony, crying. “Please, Marshal,
save my mother, the queen.”
Anthony was startled by her action and quickly waved his hand, awkwardly saying, “Please, get up. I'm not a
marshal, just a soldier. Is that your mother? Has she... passed away?”
“She’s not dead, she’s still breathing! Please, | beg you, have a doctor save her!” The young woman in green
repeatedly kowtowed, her cries full of sorrow.
Anthony paused for a moment, then stepped forward to check her pulse.
Indeed, she still had a faint breath, though very weak.
“Where is she injured?” Anthony asked.
“She’s been stabbed in her lower back,” the young woman said. Seeing that Anthony was genuinely trying to
help, she quickly wiped her tears and stood up.
Anthony gently turned the queen’s body, and indeed, he found a bandage around the wound. Fortunately, it had
stopped the bleeding, or else her life would have been lost by now.
“Wait here,” he said. “I'll go get smedicine.”
Earlier, he had seen Oliver giving Isolde spills, so he was sure there must be shealing medicine
available.
The young woman grabbed his sleeve and pleaded, “Please, don’t tell them my mother is here. She opposed my
father’s rebellion and was killed by him. She shouldn't be dragged into this anymore.”
Anthony replied, “I can’t make this decision. I'm just a soldier. | don’t have that kind of authority.”
The young woman knelt down, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Please, | beg you, my mother was truly wronged.
Many people in the royal residence know that she was executed. Please, just pretend you never saw us. Can you
do that?”
In his life, Anthony had only interacted with one woman, Isolde. She never cried, and she was always fierce. So,
he knew how to handle a tough woman like her, but he didn’t know how to deal with a crying, pleading one. He
was momentarily at a loss and said, “I'll go get the medicine first. We'll talk about it later.”
He quickly left the room.
On Isolde’s side, Oliver had already finished bandaging her wounds. The two of them stared at each other for a
moment before Harlan cto find Oliver to go see Geoffrey.
Geoffrey had been struck at a vital point. The injury was serious, and he had lost a lot of blood. The sword wound
was dangerously close to his heart. Oliver gave him the Consumption Pills but told Harlan, “Whether the Duke
can survive depends on him.”
Harlan nodded solemnly and asked, “How is Lady Isolde?”
“There are multiple wounds, squite serious, but nothing life-threatening,” Oliver replied. When talking about
Isolde’s injuries, his eyes softened noticeably, and his tone becgentler.
Just then, Anthony poked his head in from outside. Harlan noticed him and said, “Anthony, what's the
213
Chapter 240 Confiscation
matter?”
Finished
Anthony cleared his throat as he walked in. “I was hoping to get sexternal injury medicine. There are many
soldiers outside who are injured”
He glanced at Oliver, who was standing there in silver armor with one arm missing. Despite being only slightly
taller than himself, there was an imposing aura around him that made Anthony feel slightly intimidated, causing
him to hesitate to meet his gaze.
He had only been missing for more than a month, but he looked so different from before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Isn't there a military doctor outside?” Harlan asked.
“A few of them are seriously injured and need better medicine, Anthony replied.
Oliver took out a bottle of medicine and poured a few pills into his hand, handing them over to Anthony “Give
these to the soldiers with the most severe injuries first. This isn’t the Consumption Pills, but it’s still a healing
medicine given by the Regent. It has extraordinary effects. After taking it, it will stabilize them long enough for
the military doctor to treat them.”
Anthony silently took the medicine, murmuring a quiet “Thank you” before leaving,
Oliver didn’t stay long by Geoffrey's side. He had never had a good impression of him before he left the capital.
He went back to look for Isolde but found that she wasn’t in the room. After asking the soldiers standing guard
outside, he learned that Isolde had gotten up and left shortly after he had gone.
This battle had another meaning for Isolde.
There was something in the residence that she absolutely had to retrieve.
It was the wedding dress that Oliver had made for her.
Ashley led Kolton to Kamari’s Summit Pavilion.
This was where Kamari resided, a vast place covering more than fifty acres.
The study of Kamari was also located here. Now, Ashley led Kolton into the study to search, and at the back of
the study was a storeroom, a secret chamber that could only be accessed by pressing a hidden mechanism. The
concealment was flawless. If not for Ashley’s guidance, Kolton would have never found the
storeroom.
The storeroom was immense, filled with countless treasures like gold, silver, and jewels. The walls were stacked
high with gold bricks, and upon seeing them for the first time, Kolton’s eyes nearly went blind from the dazzling
sight.
