Chapter 260
Raul had analyzed countless times, considered every possibility, and even imagined the Lord of Warfare, the Minister of Personnel, or even the Minister of Works being promoted to Chancellor,
But he never expected that the one who would stand above all but one would turn out to be the inconspicuous, crippled Prince Dashnell!
They only saw in Prince Dashnell those crippled legs and believed that he could never ascend the throne.
But they forgot that, though he could not ascend the throne, it did not mean he could not take up an official post.
At present, Prince Dashnell had become the one who could not ascend the throne but still had complete control over the kingdom. Any prince who wanted to rise must curry favor with him.
In a sense, Dashnell had taken over the position of Chancellor that Raul once held!
Although the Chief Minister of Wellspring Hall was only a fifth–rank position, Dashnell Sutherland was a royal prince himself,
When these two factors were combined, his power was equivalent to a first–rank official.
Raul recalled how he had once been so determined to marry Margaery to Dominic Hadley that he risked falling out with Margaery. He regretted it so bitterly now!
He was so wrong. He was utterly, completely wrong. At that time, he should have acceded to Dashnell’s wishes and married Margaery to him.
However, the guard was not done yet.
He continued, “That was not all. Today, His Majesty announced another matter during the morning court session.
“Starting the day after tomorrow, the Star of Fortune will be renamed Margaery of Glowsend. She will assume the position. of the Imperial Seal Bearer and assist His Majesty in pre–reading memorials, drafting imperial edicts, and affixing the imperial seal…”
This explosive news almost blew Raul’s mind.
Just moments ago, he and Joshua were still fantasizing that Margaery would not last long outside, and that once she became. a discarded pawn, she would return to the Wallen family.
Against all odds, Margaery soared to new heights while the Wallen family declined.
She was now the Imperial Seal Bearer, and she was pre–reading memorials, drafting imperial edicts, affixing the imperial seal, etc. Such immense power was truly unprecedented!
‘So His Majesty… is allowing her to participate in state affairs?” Raul whispered.
Joshua was jolted to his senses when he heard this, and his eyes nearly popped out in shock. “How is this possible?
‘For so many years, the harem has been forbidden from interfering in politics, and women have not been allowed to enter court. How did Margaery…”
Had the world been turned upside down?
‘Now, everyone in the streets says that Miss Margaery is the Star of Fortune, and it is only right for her to stay by the King’s

side.”
The guard, already harboring thoughts of leaving the Wallen family, spoke in an indifferent tone like he was dituwing someone else’s affairs. In fact, his words contained a certain icy sarcasm.
“It was also said that the King was personally grooming her, and that the true Star of Fortune would be the guardian goddes of the Eastvale Empire. In time, she will be a bright, dazzling talent.”
Joshua staggered backward upon hearing this.
Raul was also stunned. ‘How? On what basis?‘
Now, he and his five sons were unable to escape the shadows of the past. They had fallen so low that they hit rock bottom. But why was Margaery able to soar to the skies and win the King’s favor?
Raul felt very resentful and hard done by.
The guard continued, “There are also rumors outside that Miss Margaery never forgets what she reads, be they medical texts, sword skill manuals, or anything else. After going through the material at most twice, she can memorize and recall everything flawlessly.
“The commoners claim that she is a true genius whose talents have been stifled by the Wallen family.”
Upon hearing this, Raul felt as if his head received a jolt. He suddenly remembered!
When the children were young, all the sons went to school, but because Margaery was a daughter, he did not send her.
However, once, he tested his sons on an epic poem.
At that time, Russell, Clyde, and Andrew had already begun studying. After making them memorize the poem for seven or eight days, none of them could recite it correctly.
Margaery was the youngest. She did not have the poem in her hands, nor was she required to study the poem. Yet she was able to memorize it and recite it flawlessly.
When asked, she replied with innocent honesty, “When Andrew was reciting, I listened two or three times.”
At the time, Raul did not pay attention. He only reminded his sons to work hard and not be outdone by a daughter.
Later, when Craig Eastwick sought out Margaery and gave her a prescription, Avery complained that he was the one studying medicine, yet Craig gave the prescription to Margaery and not to him.
At that point, Raul also found it puzzling.
Only now did he realize that Craig had long since discovered Margaery’s extraordinary talent!
It was a talent that all five of his sons combined could not match!
She was born a genius, yet was trapped within the Wallen family with no chance to develop her ability. The father and sons were full of self–righteousness, believing that Margaery enjoyed the wealth and privilege in the Wallen family that should have been accorded to Tessa Wallen.
Only at this point did they realize that from beginning to end, the real fools were themselves.
Margaery was born fundamentally different from them!

Since childhood, she had never envied anyone. She always greeted everyone with a smile and cheerfully shared what the had with those around her, all because her heart was pure.
Yet they thought she was foolish
Now, all the goodness in Margaery had received its rightful reward.
After leaving the Wallen family, her brilliance dazzled many people.
Then the guard added, “The commoners claim that the Wallen family is nothing but mud clinging to Miss Margaery. Once the mud is shaken off, Miss Margaery’s true radiance can shine brightly.”
These words truly struck cruelly at the hearts of the two men.
Immediately after that, the guard hastily said, “Sirs, I have come to bid farewell. From now on, I will no longer serve in the Wallen family:
With that, he turned and left.
“Come back here” Joshua recovered himself just then. He was so furious that his chest was heaving with rage. “How dare a mere servant utter such words!”
The servant turned his head back to reply, “Sir, the Wallen family is no longer what it once was. In the past, all of you and Tessa Wallen twisted the truth. Everyone in the household became your accomplices just to survive.
“Now, I too must repent for what I have done. After speaking, the servant strode off without giving the father and son another glance.
Joshua smashed his fist against the door frame in rage. These people are too much!”
He had no place to vent his fury.
Suddenly, Joshua heard a loud “thump” behind him.
As he turned around, he saw Raul had collapsed to the ground. Blood was streaming from his mouth and nose, and he had lost consciousness.
“Father! Father!” Joshua cried out in shock. He rushed forward to help the older man up and kept calling out to him.
But Raul’s eyes remained tightly shut. His limbs convulsed for a while before his body became unresponsive. Joshua instinctively shouted, “Someone, go summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!”
A maid’s soft voice rang out from the doorway, “Sir, times have changed. Master is no longer an official of the court. We can no longer summon the imperial physician.”
Joshua felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.
His whole body felt numb. He sank to the ground in despair and croaked hoarsely, “Summon a regular physician.
“Yes, Sir. The maid left, but she was no longer as diligent as before.
It wasn’t only the masters of the Wallen family who regretted their actions. The servants also regretted having once followed Tessa Wallen and having hurt Margaery Wallen so deeply.
Now, Margaery has broken free and soared to the sky. But the Wallen family….
