Chapter 214
Margaery nodded, allowing him to take her hand.
The rea of thein me in front and one behind, walked a dozen ps along the narrate path big the cliff and arrived
Russell fallowed closely behin.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he discovered there were aqually two people in the cave, one of whom was sitting in a wheelchair.
It was Dashnell.
“Prince Dashnell?”
Russell was startled, his eyes widening in astonishment.
After regaining his composure, he hurriedly saluted.
Dashnell ignored him and instead reached out to pull Margaery closer, wrapping her in the fox fur cloak he had brought. “Are you cold?”
“I’m not cold.”
Margaery looked at him, her eyes slightly red. “It’s just that the path here is difficult. How did Your Highness’s wheelchair get here?”
The narrow path outside could not accommodate a wheelchair.
The guard behind him stepped forward. “I escorted His Highness here, and the wheelchair was carried separately.”
“Sorry for the trouble, Your Highness.”
Margaery was deeply moved and held Dashnell’s hand.
“I promised I would come, so I will definitely come.”
Dashnell spoke, his voice hoarse. “Let’s go. We’ll walk a bit further ahead. There’s a rock up ahead. From behind it, we can see them, but they can’t see us.”
Margaery was a little worried. “Your Highness, Warren might also bring people today. Is it really okay for you to go out like this?”
“I’m your senior in the sect. This is easy to explain.”
Dashnell sighed, his gaze grew more profound as he looked at Margaery.
Even if he were not her senior in the sect, no one could stop him today.
In his previous life, his late arrival caused her tragic death here. This time, no matter what, he dared not be late.
He dared not fail to come at all.
But fearing Margaery would worry, he still explained, “The people Warren brought are over there. I have already met them and greeted them.”
Margaery nodded, “That’s good.”

Chapter 211
The group exited the care and walked a little way down the mojhrain
Because the boulder Dadmell mentioned wat situated slightly love where Tessa and the others were, those below food to mane their necks to see the scene above.
Today, everyone wore white clothes and white hats. Even the four cloak on Margaery was white. So even if sonuote looked up, it was hard to make out anyone clearly at first glance
Besides, everyone was preoccupied with trying to kill Margaery
So, they could not possibly care about anything else.
Margaery let out a cold laugh. “Til push His Highness out”
The first dozen steps ahead could indeed only accommodate one person, but the other side of the cave was different. Ever three people passing together would be no problem.
Dashnell nodded and asked. “Has your wound healed?”
“It’s already healed. I plan to resume martial training tomorrow, Margaery said.
Recently, she had been anxious and restless. She worried about her lack of martial prowess and needed Adam and Wayne’s help for everything.
This situation couldn’t go on.
She couldn’t guarantee that someone would always be by her side.
What if she ended up alone?
She felt insecure.
Dashnell understood her.
Although Adam and Wayne stayed to help her, along with the others from Stormshade Hall, it was hard not to feel uneasy when one lacked strength, especially since Margaery had been through such terrible things.
To expect her to fully trust someone now would be difficult.
He wasn’t sure if he could truly enter her heart.
Dashnell sighed silently.
“Tonight, let Craig check your wound again. If it’s truly healed, you may resume martial training as you wish.”
He glanced at Wayne. “Solon’s agility and stealth skills are excellent. You should learn from him when you can.”
Both skills could ensure her safety.
Dashnell believed that such abilities could never be too many.
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Margaery said, then looked at Wayne. “Thank you, too, Mr. Hawke.”
Solon’s expression was complicated. “Lady, just call me Solon…”
There was really no need to be so formal because it would only make things feel distant.
As they spoke, Tessa’s voice rang out from below, full of delight. They’re here!”

Chapter 214
She looked at Leo and Albert Guys, hurry and captins
They really are together!”
Russell trembled all over at her words. It was his first time seeing mother side of Tess, so frenzied and cruel
Margaery glanced at him but said nothing.
In her view, in her previous life, the Wallen family and the kidnappers were all in it together. After all, their sole purpose was to torment and kill her.
What difference does it make?
She snorted and walked a few steps forward.
The others followed her.
Soon, they saw on a clearing atop the cliff below, Leo dragging Tessa out.
Leo pressed a dagger to her neck, glaring fiercely in the direction of Sinderin City. With his burly physique, he truly resembled a ruthless bandit.
Albert also pretended to be vigilant.
Though he lacked Leo’s muscular build, his eyes were gloomy, and his whole demeanor was sinister.
In her previous life, these two acted convincingly.
At first, even Margaery was deceived, believing they had truly kidnapped Tessa.
It was not until the end, when Russell dragged her and threw her into the Icy Pool, that she saw the triumphant smile in Tessa’s eyes, the silent words she mouthed, and the faint trace of amusement in Leo’s gaze.
Only then did she realize they were all accomplices.
All this was just to hunt her.
Margaery thought of this, her fists slowly clenching.
Feeling sorry for her, Dashnell reached out and held her hand in his palm, gently prying open her fingers one by one, warming her, “Margaery, it’s all in the past now.”
Margaery snapped back to reality, realizing she had once again fallen into the terror and despair of that time.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
She took a slow, deep breath, and the warmth of Dashnell’s palm pulled her back to the present.
Someday, she would move on.
She encouraged herself.
At that moment, two more carriages appeared on the snowy road not far away. The carriages were black and looked like ordinary merchant wagons.
But when the doors opened, Raul, Andrew, and Avery stepped out.
“Quite a full turnout.”
Chapter 214
A slightly shrill voice suddenly sounded from behind, clearly tiled with anger Lady Margaery, when you spoke last night, I still found it unbelievable”
“Yet I did not expect that, under the bright heavens, the Chancellor of the current dynasty would actually commit such acist
“Cruelly mindering his own daughter. harming the Star of Fortine
“Whether in public or private, such a person cannot be tolerated in this world!”
Margaery did not expect Warren to suddenly appear behind her. She hurriedly turned and bowed, “Warren”
Warren nodded. “Lady Margaery, you are too courteous.”
As he spoke, he saluted Dashinell. “Prince Dashnell.”
After that, his gaze toward Russell became much less friendly. “How rare, another one slipped through!”
No matter how it sounded, it all seemed like sarcasm.
Russell’s face was devoid of light. He could only turn and bow. “Greetings, Warren. Please forgive me if I have caused any offense.”
“Whether you laugh at me matters little.”
Warren let out a cold laugh, his implication very clear.
Russell was no fool. Today, Raul, Joshua, and the others all thought their actions were secret, that once Margaery died, no one would ever know.
But in reality, not only did Dashnell appear, even Warren showed up.
Moreover, the person behind him was clearly an imperial guard. The badge on his collar could not deceive anyone.
