Ultimately, she still had not emerged from her hatred.
Realizing this, Margaery took a deep breath, turned, and sat back at the table, attempting to calm herself.
She had to move on eventually.
One could not live in hatred forever.

The Wallen family were unworthy of her. She needed to learn to let go in the truest sense, so she could finally free herself.
At this moment, in the Chancellor’s estate.
Raul hurried into the courtyard, heading straight for Sunbeam Court, anxiously calling out Tessa’s name, “Tessa, Tessa!”
Sunbeam Court was completely empty. There was no trace of Tessa.
Recalling the message delivered by the guards, Raul broke out in a sweat from anxiety. “Has she really been taken?”
Thinking of Tessa’s frail appearance that could be blown down by a gust of wind at home, if she fell into the hands of kidnappers, she would be terrified.
Raul was deeply worried.
He could not help but vent his anger on others.
Leaving Sunbeam Court, he began to beat and kick the two maids at the entrance, furiously shouting, “Wretches! I told you to look after Tessa. Where is she now!”
“What use is there in keeping such useless maids in the Chancellor’s estate!”
Shraya knelt trembling on the ground. “Lord, please calm down. Lady Tessa said she wanted to eat iced pear soup and asked me to prepare it personally. I have only just returned.”
Robyn said, “Lady Tessa said she wanted salted crisp cakes and sent me out to buy them…”
The two of them felt utterly wronged.
If it weren’t for Tessa wanting to eat various things and sending them out, such an incident would not have occurred.
Now Raul blamed them for not taking proper care of Tessa.
‘Could we possibly be in two places at once?‘ they thought.
But in the end, they dared not voice such a defense.
“Get out!”
Raul did not want to hear these words at all. He was only worried about what to do next.
The guard looked at him, also anxious. “Lord, what should we do now? The kidnappers said that if we report to the authorities, they will kill Lady Tessa, subjecting her to unbearable suffering!”
The only condition was that they had to bring Margaery with them.

“They’re targeting that wretched Margaery” Raul’s expression was grim. “Then take Margaery over!”
He glanced outside the main gate as he spoke. “Go and tell the others.”

The note sent by the kidnappers not only demanded Margaery, but also required the Wallen family to escort Margaery together.
Although Raul did not know why the other party made such a request, he was more concerned about Tessa’s safety, so he sent people from the estate, “Bring Russell back to me as well!”
Even if it was just to make up the numbers, he had to go today.
Thinking of Russell, Raul grew even angrier and reminded the guards, “Be careful not to alert Margaery. Don’t let her notice anything unusual.”
The guards nodded and quickly left through the main gate.
After a while, Avery and Andrew hurried over.
Avery entered and asked, “Father, have you received the news? The kidnappers have abducted Tessa, but now demand that we bring Margaery, yet Margaery left the Chancellor’s estate long ago!”
“Even if she were still here, she certainly wouldn’t agree to exchange herself for Tessa!”
If it were him, he wouldn’t agree either.
But after all, Tessa still needed to be rescued.
Avery was also concerned about Tessa, but was somewhat distracted.
Andrew recalled Margaery’s arrogant attitude the last time he saw her and felt powerless. “That’s right, Father, she definitely won’t come back.”
At this point, Andrew appeared somewhat dejected.
He had originally thought that, given his relationship with Margaery, he should be able to persuade her to return.
Yet unexpectedly, Margaery did not give him any face.
Now, with Margaery living at an inn and so estranged from the Wallen family, perhaps in her heart, the Chancellor’s estate had long ceased to be her home.
‘How could she possibly agree to exchange places with Tessa, whom she despises most?‘ Andrew felt this was nothing but a fool’s dream.
Raul was equally aware that the relationship between the Chancellor’s estate and Margaery was beyond reconciliation.
“If we expect her to take the initiative to switch, she will certainly be unwilling.”
Raul stood in the snow, his eyes darkening, gradually turning cold and ruthless. “Now, there are only two methods.”
“First, have Lady Christina arrange a meeting with her.”
“Second, have Phillipa arrange a meeting with her.”
“Once she is lured out, distract the guards from Prince Dashnell’s estate, then bring Margaery back by force.”
“But, neither Christina nor Phillipa can be used directly. If we tell them the truth, they certainly won’t help, and Morales’s estate and General Eames must never learn of this matter.”

Raul looked toward the direction of the imperial palace. “Wait for Joshua to return. He and Phillipa are colleagues. After working together for so long, he must have seen Phillipa’s handwriting. Have him imitate Phillipa and write a letter to Margaery”

With that, he headed straight for the study.
Yet, as he picked up the pen, his feelings grew complicated.
He had secretly loved Phillipa for many years.
The manuscript was a pile of discarded drafts from Phillipa’s calligraphy practice. He had collected a thick stack and could always imitate her handwriting.
But thinking about his current relationship with Phillipa, Joshua felt depressed, and at the same time, he hated Margaery.
Phillipa stood on Margaery’s side.
When he went to the palace to find her today, Phillipa was extremely cold, unwilling to spare him even a glance.
Thinking about all this, Joshua felt even more that Margaery deserved to die. “I’ll write the letter and invite her out right now!”
A person like Margaery ought to die.

Once she’s dead, no one would ever be able to sow discord between him and Phillipa again.
Once Tessa returned, he and Tessa could also…
Phillipa and Tessa gave him different feelings.
He wanted them both.

Meanwhile…
The Wallen family’s guards found Russell, who was staying on the second floor of the inn. Their expressions were complicated and their tone urgent.
“Lord Russell, Lord Chancellor requests your return. There is something very important he needs to discuss with you, matters of life and death.”
