Chapter 233
Avery could not leave and could only turn around, glaring viciously at Adam.

Adam remained expressionless. It was not that he enjoyed spreading these matters, but today was meant to pave the way for the King to issue an edict, completely severing the relationship between Margaery and the Wallen family.
He glanced at Avery and said, “Avery only became the youngest physician in the Royal Medical Hall after taking more than a dozen prescriptions from Margaery.
“But today, he poisoned the substitute above the Icy Pool, causing the substitute to writhe in pain, her face twisted and body contorted.”
Before Adam finished speaking, a person could not bear it any longer and slapped Avery across the face. The others grew angrier as well.
Immediately after, another person punched Avery in the face.
“You bastard! So heartless. Are you her brother? You are simply a beast!”
Avery was beaten until he curled up on the ground.
Only then did Adam stop them and say, “Everyone, today’s matter will be judged fairly. There’s no need for you to get yourselves involved.”
Everyone nodded, calming down. “Such a person is unworthy of public office!”
Avery listened to these words, feeling as if his life was over!
At this moment, Andrew had already fainted.
Because what he did today was even more outrageous.
‘Coward, and he just fainted like that!”
The angry citizens kicked him and looked at Adam. They asked, “Andrew didn’t get violent, did he? If I remember correctly, he is only seventeen!”
That was just a little older than Margaery.
Adam sneered, “Andrew cut off the substitute’s legs today.”
The crowd was in an uproar! “Worse than a beast!”
They, furious, kicked Andrew several more times, then looked at Joshua, who stood there in a daze. They said, “And you say that Margaery didn’t treat you as brothers, because you treated her so heartlessly!”
“What a ridiculous joke!”
“If she came to our house, we would never treat her like this!”
“Exactly, if the Star of Fortune came to our house, we would treat her very well! A family like this doesn’t deserve to exist!”
“If she really went back to your family again, where is justice?”
“Raul is unfit to be a father!”

“The Wallen family is unworthy of such high office!”
“Drive them out of Sinderin City!”
The crowd was stirred up, for the actions of the Wallen family violated human rights.

Moreover, since Margaery was the Star of Fortune, her safety was closely tied to everyone. For a moment, all felt that the Wallen family harbored malicious intent. “To harm the Star of Fortune is an unforgivable crime.”
“They want chaos in the Eastvale Empire at this moment!”
“Indeed, if the Star of Fortune had died today, wouldn’t that mean the nation’s fate would decline, and disaster would strike?”
Joshua’s head throbbed painfully. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
He never expected to face such a scene today.
At this point, all three of them had fallen. Adam glanced around at the citizens and said, “Would you please go to the Sinderin City Prefecture and report this, and have someone send them back?
“So they don’t die here and bring bad luck.”
They nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, dying in front of the Star of Fortune is terribly unlucky!”
Moreover, since they were the Chancellor’s sons. Although the people were furious, they did not dare to let them truly die, so they reported directly to the authorities.
The officers arrived and escorted them back to the Chancellor’s estate.
Margaery watched the farce come to an end, a trace of coldness appearing in her calm eyes.
Adam came upstairs, took a deep breath, and said, “After this incident, the Wallen family and you are completely cut off. In this world, you are now alone.
“If you do not mind, please consider me family.”
He truly could not imagine what it must feel like for a sixteen–year–old girl to endure such a nightmare, how heartbroken she must be.
Margaery came back to herself, her eyes slightly red.
Perhaps it was because she had endured so much hardship and coldness that even a little warmth could move her to tears.
Adam’s words warmed her and moved her.
“You and Solon have long been my family.” Margaery looked at Adam, choking with emotion, saying, “Without you, I would not be here today.
‘I fear I would already be dead.”
In the end, she was simply too powerless.
Indeed, the Wallen family had held sway over the court for so many years. Though many in the court opposed them, none could do anything about Raul.
Let alone a young girl like her. How could she contend with such a colossal force?

With that, he knocked his head heavily on the ground.
The King looked at him, his gaze deep.

He wanted to punish him, but the manner of punishment required careful consideration. Not based on what Raul had done, but on what punishment suited the current situation.
Moreover, timing was crucial.
He was waiting. By now, the time was almost right.
Sure enough, within moments, Dermot rushed in from outside the door and said, “Your Majesty, something serious has happened! News has come from outside, saying…”
As Dermot spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Raul and continued gravely, “They say that today, the Wallen family, in an attempt to rescue Tessa, mistakenly took Keaton for Margaery, bound her, and tortured her to death at the Icy Pool.
“Such cruelty is rarely seen in this world.
This matter has already spread outside, and the people are in an uproar, demanding that the Wallen family be driven out of Sinderin City.”
Dermot had not yet finished speaking.
Raul was shocked and asked, “What?”

Dashnell was the best candidate among all his sons!
Dashnell nodded and said, “I will see to it at once.”

By not getting his fief, he would become the chief minister of the cabinet, second only to the King and above all others. Yet, as chief minister, he was only a fifth–rank official, so this arrangement would not arouse jealousy.
Combined with his status as a prince, it was sufficient.
After Dashnell left, the King ordered Raul, who was unconscious, to be dragged out.
Warren sighed and said, “Your Majesty, Dashnell is really like you. He knows when to advance and retreat.”
“Knowing when to retreat and defend allows one to act when the time is right and strike decisively at the critical moment.” The King nodded. “After me, the Eastvale Empire will be entrusted to Dashnell and Margaery.”
Warren could not help but ask, “Your Majesty, when will you announce that Margaery is severing ties with the Chancellor’s estate?”
