Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 592

Chapter 592 The Countermove

His words stirred the entire court.

Piers couldn’t help turning to look at Gareth, clearly anxious.

Surely now we step in?

If the Duchess takes a hit here, Sylvia will not let it go.

Gareth remained completely still, his expression calm as he gave a slight shake of his head.

She did not come here unprepared.

This is well within her control.

As expected, Elowen spoke, “My lord’s concerns are entirely reasonable, and they reflect how a case should be handled,” she said calmly. “However, this testimony only emerged this morning. The Ministry has only just presented it before His Majesty. Naturally, the evidence has not yet been fully gathered.”

Colton did not respond.

Elowen continued, her tone steady.

“That said, Dominic is not making baseless accusations. The matters he described, the evidence that should exist, I have already secured.”

Theodric leaned forward slightly.

“You have it?”

Elowen met his gaze and nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty. You are aware that my husband has always been cautious in matters concerning Nordia, especially the negotiations. Prince Roderic provoked him repeatedly, yet he remained restrained, unwilling to jeopardize Your Majesty’s efforts. Why would he choose to assassinate the prince?”

She continued smoothly. “But at the time, the situation escalated too quickly. Nordia demanded answers. The court demanded truth. And the truth is not something that can be uncovered overnight.”

She paused briefly:

“My husband could have spoken in his defense. But he understood that doing so would only

intensify matters and place Your Majesty in a more difficult position.”

Her voice softened.

“So he bore it in silence. He offered no explanation, no defense, and endured the accusations, even accepting the loss of his title and confinement to his estate.”

She let out a quiet breath.

“But I know what it took for him to achieve everything he has. As his wife, I could not bear to see him suffer such unfounded accusations. So I spent time and effort investigating, and eventually uncovered the truth.”

Theodric’s gaze lingered on her with new consideration.

Colton’s expression, however, tightened slightly.

Elowen continued, as though unaware.

“Originally, we intended to wait for the right moment and present the evidence properly. But Your Majesty’s summons came suddenly, and we had no time to prepare. The evidence remains at Hale Manor.”

She inclined her head slightly.

“It would be best if Your Majesty sent someone to retrieve it. That way, there can be no

suspicion of tampering. Whether the evidence is genuine or not will be clear at a glance, and no one will be able to question it afterward.”

Her reasoning was flawless.

Theodric studied her, then turned. Cassian… that guy really hit the jackpot.

“Quin. Go to Hale Manor yourself.”

Quin bowed. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Elowen added calmly. “You can ask for Bran. He knows exactly where everything is kept

Quin acknowledged and left at once.

This young Lady of the First Rank was far from suple.

Elowen paid no attention to it. She turned back to Colton, her expression as gentle as before

“You asked why Dominic, facing a lesser charge, would expose something so serious,” she said. “I can offer an explanation.”
