Chapter 308
“I will follow in your footsteps.” Margaery gazed at her, eyes shining brightly.
Grace smiled, the world dazzling, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
She stepped out, her gait light and carefree, exuding an indescribable elegant bearing.
After walking a while, she turned to look at Margaery, the corners of her mouth lifting. “Thank you, too”
That single sentence contained so much.
If not for the catalyst Margaery provided, she would never have had the chance to enter Wellspring Hall.
Margaery pondered the meaning of her words, a warm current surging in her heart.
If not for Angelina’s exuberance, audacity, and boldness, the King would not possess his current understanding, not would he be willing to open this door.
If not for Grace’s astonishing talent and brilliance, others would not see that there were paths women could also take, a even excel upon.
As for herself…
With the right timing, favorable circumstances, and harmonious relations, her journey to this day had relied not only on b own efforts, but more importantly, on momentum.
This momentum was precisely the King’s intention to eliminate the Chancellor and establish the cabinet.
She became a stepping stone for the King to fulfill his grand ambition; in the past, any move against the Chancellor’s estate would have required a major case to completely shatter half the court.
However, the cost would have been too great.
Therefore, the King had never found a suitable opportunity to act.
Yet, her severing ties with the Wallen family was like chiseling a crack in the vast Chancellor’s estate. It did not implicate other members of the Chancellor’s faction, nor did it require a major case.
Essentially, this was a family matter of the Wallen family.
Even when it later involved the King, it was only because of the title of Star of Fortune, and did not implicate anyone else.
Thus, the downfall of the Wallen family this time was due to the collapse of family affairs and private virtue.
Because other followers of Raul were not implicated, they initially had no motive to intervene, and later saw no need to act one by one, they have chosen to remain quietly dormant to this day.
All of this has precisely fulfilled the King’s dual goals of stability and reform.
At this moment, Margaery deeply feels what a seemingly insignificant person can truly accomplish.
A single action could have widespread consequences.
In her previous life, she died three years later.

During those three years, the King remained inactive.
This meant he never found a suitable opportunity.
In this life, that opportunity was provided by her, a seemingly insignificant individual.

It turned out that even an insignificant person, when the timing, circumstances, and relations were right, could change the course of the world.
It turned out that whether a person stood at the summit depended mostly on fortune rather than one’s own effort
Margaery gazed toward the distant sky and the soaring spire of the Hall of Divinity, suddenly understanding what it meant to receive the mandate of heaven!
She also realized how insignificant human beings truly are.
Therefore, even when standing at the heights of the temple, one must remain humble and cautious, filled with reverence, to as to proceed steadily step by step and avoid inviting disaster.
The biting cold wind brushed her cheek and lifted the long hair by her ear. Margaery turned to go back, and a sense of moral grandeur arose in her heart.
The path had already been laid.
She was going to stride forward.
This evening and tonight were her last moments.
The medicine she asked Lillian to buy was all prepared and placed in her room.
She began to prepare the medicine for herself.
Marc sat beside her, watching quietly. “Have you discussed this with Prince Dashnell and your master?”
He sensed danger.
“Yes” Margaery smiled, “Rest assured, Marc, I will not take unnecessary risks.”
She was, in fact, taking a risk.
However, it was within a controllable range. “Three years is too long; I hope turn my life around within three months”
Marc looked at the handwritten manuscript on her desk, his expression complex. Yellow Inner Classic? Is this the gift Princess Grace gave you today?
This kind of thing was truly mysterious.
Yor a moment, he could not tell whether Grace had high hopes for Margaery or was bringing her harm.
Margaery nodded with a smile. “I glanced at it; it’s quite interesting. Not only does it complement medical techniques, but it also relates to the operation of internal energy. Perhaps it will yield unexpected results.”
So whose disciple are you, really?” Marc felt awkward. “You’re so unique. There’s never been anyone like you. Back then, each school was actually quite exclusive.
“Women are entering the court. The King himself welcomes diverse perspectives.” Margaery smiled. “Naturally, I must also

embrace inclusivity. By learning from various schools of thought, I gain a broader understanding of the world and avoid becoming arrogant.”
Mainly, she wanted to move forward.
Marc nodded, unsure what to say.
But he was truly curious: when the legacies of the Nine Imperial Halls, the Chapel of Wisdom, and the Palace of Purple Clouds all converge in one person, what kind of legend would be forged?
Margaery did not think that far ahead.
She had only one thought at the moment: beset by internal and external troubles, she needed capable people. Tessa was will alive, and with the hatred she had accumulated in her heart, she would surely return with a vengeance. Margaery did not want to fall behind Tessa and be held down and beaten when the time came.
Thinking of this, she could not help but recall Callum. “I wonder if Master and Joshua have found any trace of Callum ! hope everything goes smoothly in Yanzy City.”
Indeed, Marc sighed, “All of a sudden, Nathaniel is dead. Marcus is about to be demoted to a commoner, and the Halley family is about to be confiscated..
“This year has truly been turbulent.”
And upon reflection, it seemed that the spark igniting all this turmoil had been lit by Margaery.
Now, Marc even truly suspected that Margaery was the real Star of Fortune.
The fate of the Eastvale Empire had already begun to shift.
At this moment, Grace returned to the Princess’s residence.
“Tomorrow morning. I will attend court.” She stopped Finn, full of spirit. “Wait a while; I think you will have your chance soon enough.”
As she spoke, she looked at Finn with some apology. “All these years, being with me has been a grievance for you.”
Finn was very handsome. In middle age, he had not lost his charm; instead, he had gained a mature and steady demeanor, making him even more attractive:
Finn said, “If not for me, you would have already risen to the position of Minister by now”
He was the third–place scholar of his year.
Although not as dazzling as Grace, he had earned his place through genuine etfort… All his talent had been overshadowed by his own looks.
The method for choosing the third–place scholar had always remained unchanged: each was personally selected by the King, and besides talent, their appearance was strongly considered. Ultimately, these scholars served only as decorative companions to the princess, holding no real power.
Thus, after years of diligent study, he ultimately ended up in a bizarre web of nepotism.
Finn smiled bitterly. “Nowadays, I no longer concern myself with court affairs. Besides, with you alone serving in court, and at Wellspring Hall, you have already reached the pinnacle of officialdom.

He took a deep breath, looking at Grace with undisguised admiration in his eyes. “Things are no longer as they once were. Now, I feel that being able to spend my life with you is the greatest fortune of this lifetime.
“It is I who have married above my station.
“Not because of status, but because you’re someone whom ordinary men in this world can only look up to.
“As long as you have no regrets.”
Grace’s lips curled up. “But, the children have all grown up. If you wish to go out, I can think of a way. I believe the King is very broad–minded these days.
“The Eastvale Empire is precisely in need of capable people now.”
She looked at Finn, her gaze suddenly becoming grave.
Finn stiffened. “You… performed a divination?”
