Chapter 330
“What does this have to do with her? Callum, holding back his anger, stared at Wilbur
Wilbur smiled and said, “You still don’t know, do you? All your tricks–poisoning the King, digging tunnels planning explosives–were exposed by Margaery. You lost to her
Wilbur had already received a letter from Sinderin City, so he was fully aware of what had happened here. You thought of was your prey, yet you did not realize you had already been exposed by her
Words failed Callum. He trembled all over, his brow tightly furrowed.
Yet he remained unwilling to accept defeat. “But the state banquet hall was still blown up today, and those who were mean to die still died.”
He stared at Wilbur, hoping he could win.
But upon hearing this, Wilbur laughed. “Your people wanted to use the ritual for Nathaniel to create a disturbance in the palace, and Margaery let you have your way. You wanted to blow up the state banquet hall, and she let you succeed as well
“However,” Wilbur’s tone shifted, “the sounds of music and celebration coming from the state banquet hall were all an illusion. There was nothing there at all. Tonight’s state banquet is being held in Angelina’s palace.”
Callum stared in shock, unable to hold back any longer. “What did you say?”
“Do you still remember the item Bernard took out at Somerton Hall before?” Wilbur explained to him. Tonight, all the sounds from the state banquet hall came from inside that device.
“And your secret passage was discovered by Margaery long ago. Alardus was captured early on. Only you naively believed you could win, and only Sigurd thought everything was under control.
“You framed Osmond, and then framed General Griffith. Did you really think no one knew about these things! Tonight whether it is you or the Salome family, it is all over.”
Callum was silent.
In the raging cold wind, Callum’s fervor completely faded. He clenched his fists and trembled all over
Wilbur’s words struck him like a blow to the head.
As happy as he was a moment ago, he was just as devastated now.
No matter how much he schemed, he never expected to fall into Margaery’s hands
Back in Yanzy City, he even thought that if Margaery and the King died together this time, it would be steal. If, he coul
take her as a concubine.
Once the time was right, he would simply get rid of her
Yet he never imagined….
Suddenly, shouts of killing echoed through the city
Wilbur gave him a cold glance, raised his hand, and issued the order, ‘Suppress the rebels Kill them”
The Yanzy City army surged into Sinderin City like a tide.

Calls was ted to a horse’s back, wiring his private troops retreat in defeat, attacked from all sides, and finally trape like a rat in a jar.
At the palace gates, General Critich Danell and others all appeared Even Omond was at the front on horseback
Callum’s body went rigid. Only then did he realize that while be schemed against the King, the Kang had turned the tabi
red him out, and was about to capture everyone in one sweep).
He though, Only my father could have thought of such ruthless tactics
Callum’s blood froze. He stared blankly at the scene, his mind umerly blank
The state banquet was over.
The ministers were all astonished completely unaware of what had happened: a coup had already ended.
Margaery accompanied the King up onto the palace wall gazing at the scene of battle outside, and sighed softly. “It is all
over
“Yes, it is over
The King’s face revealed no emotion, but his complex tone was laced with deep pain. My princes once studied with Norman. Though they are not Christians, they have received his teachings.
“Yet, not everyone possesses innate wisdom. Such wisdom is like a meteor streaking across the deep sky. To many, it is bu fleeting flash, a marvel Yet few ever think more deeply about it. Some among them have already been blinded by desire.
In the darkness, he turned to look at Margaery. Margaery, you and Dashnell must not be like this.”
Margaery nodded. ‘I will not forget Your Majesty’s teachings.”
As they spoke, someone below suddenly sprang up, thrusting a sword at the King. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will take you down with me.”
Seeing that he was about to fail, the attacker had already lost himself to madness
Margaery drew her sword. The blade beam sliced across his body like water, and his body split open like a lifeless puppet, blood spraying everywhere.
It was Margaery’s first time killing. A wave of nausea surged up, forcing her to vomit uncontrollably
She vomited so hard that tears sprang to her eyes
“You are very different‘ The King gently patted her back. “If war breaks out in the south, you sent Dashiell shall go together From now on, this vast land is yours to protect as your own.”
Margaery’s eyes grew moist, tears shimmering as she nodded. “Yes”
She turned to look below. Callum was staring at her with a murderous gaze
Meanwhile, Dashnell rose from his wheelchair and walked toward Callum. “Callum, you are far too impatient
“You!” Callum stared in astonishment, eyes wide. “You are not crippled”
“Sorry to disappoint you, Callum.” Dashnell looked at him. “Thank you for teaching me how to conduct myself so early on You schemed so much. How could I let your good intentions go to waste?

“All these years sitting in a wheelchair, isn’t that exactly what you wanted?”
In the cold wind, Dashnell’s tone remained calm, showing no sign of emotion.

When speaking of the life–and–death crisis of his youth, it now seemed no different than recounting someone else’s story His emotions did not fluctuate, and he simply said, “I merely fulfilled your wish.”
Callum was speechless.
Back then, he, Freda, and Sigurd plotted against Dashnell, causing him to be gravely injured for three months, turning a brilliant young man into a cripple.
The King, fearing Dashnell could not bear it mentally, had no choice but to send him to the Chapel of Wisdom.
Yet unexpectedly, all of this was merely an act.
At that time, Dashnell was so young, yet possessed such deep cunningness.
Margaery stood atop the city wall, watching this scene with some alarm.
She thought, ‘Until now, Dashnell has concealed his talents. Tonight, he suddenly stood
- up.
He…
Margaery instinctively glanced at the King.
Seeing the King’s expression remain unchanged, she realized the King had long known about Dashnell’s concealment, and Dashnell must have reported it to the King in advance.
With this thought, she finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At this moment, Callum looked at her.
The hatred in his eyes was undisguised. “Margaery, I truly never expected that one day I would fall at your hands.”
“Your Highness, I am Margaery of Glowsend,” Margaery corrected him, her face showing no other expression.
Callum suddenly felt defeated.
At this moment, he was below the city wall, while Margaery stood above. Their positions had reversed, their statuses had changed.
He lowered his head and said nothing more.
He was guilty of regicide, patricide, mutiny, and usurpation. With such charges, even if he shouted until his throat was hoarse, it would only end in death.
At this moment, Phillipa escorted Alardus out, looked at Sigurd, and said, ‘Lord Sigurd, congratulations on your family
reunion.”
Sigurd stared in astonishment, his eyes wide. “You–you actually captured him?”
He thought, “That letter from before…
In the letter, Alardus told him everything was going smoothly and that he would keep watch over the tunnel. To avoid drawing attention, he instructed the Salome family not to visit the Hall of Divinity for the time being.
But it turned out that Alardus had long since become a prisoner.
