The King’s meaning was clear. He continued, “The Star of Fortune bears the fate of the nation. Even if her strategy is not the best in the world, it must rank among the top three.

“Even if her skills are not the best in the world, they must at least be second.

“Even if her courage and insight cannot encompass the world, she must at least understand the court and perceive the people.

“Even if she cannot truly become the Star of Fortune that protects the realm, she must at least possess complete power to defend herself.

“Otherwise, all the nation’s efforts would be in vain!”

If she were to die, rumors would spread, and chaos would ensue.

Simon listened to these words and repeatedly agreed, “Your Majesty, you are wise and mighty, a blessing to the people!”

He added, “Even if she lacks achievements, at the very least, her intentions must be upright, and she must possess a compassionate heart to aid the world!”

The two exchanged words, each speaking to the other’s heart.

The King snorted coldly, “I see you are skilled in conversation.”

Being skilled in conversation was rare. Because it required first understanding the human heart.

Simon understood the King. Regarding the next successor, the King had already made up his mind, but the timing of the inheritance was his decision, not something for the princes to seize for themselves.

He could grant it, but would not allow anyone to take it by force.

The King continued, “Go now. From now on, matters concerning Margaery will be entrusted to you and Norman to help her

progress.

“In three years, I want to see a transformed Margaery! In literature, she must be able to debate fiercely. In skills, she must have the power to sweep away enemies on the battlefield!”

Simon bowed and replied, “Your Majesty, thank you for nurturing her.”

“You may leave.” The King waved his hand, signaling Simon to depart.

Simon tactfully left.

The King rose and entered the back hall.

He took out a portrait of Angelina, his eyes brimming with tears, and he said, “Have I… Ultimately been selfish after all?

“I still remember the day we parted. You told me that we would meet again and that you must become the most dazzling woman in the world. Mastering both literature and skills, able to help me govern the nation within, and sweep away enemies to command respect beyond its borders.”

Two streams of hot tears rolled down.

He choked up slightly. “The day I saw Margaery, it was as if I saw you in your youth. If we had a daughter, she would surely

be like this, wouldn’t she?”

As he spoke, he covered his face. He continued, “It is my fault. I failed to educate Nathaniel well. Though born into royalty. his vision, skills, talent, courage, and strategy are not even half of yours. He has inherited none of what you and I possess.

“In the end, I have wronged you.

“Someday, when I pass on… I will go to you and apologize.”

Simon braved the wind and snow as he left, and from afar saw Norman entering the palace.

He watched for a long time, sighing. “The King knows everything! The might and capability of the Eastvale Empire’s Warrior King, now, perhaps only Prince Dashnell can compare.”

What moved him even more was the King’s arrangements for Margaery.

The King thought highly of her. The degree of favor she received rivals that of the princes.

It was because Margaery had proved herself.

Her every action revealed to the King her resilience, endurance, intelligence, and humility.

It was she herself who earned such an opportunity.

The King’s expectation for her was to become the next Queen.

To be a kind Queen to all people, the confidante and supporter of the next King.

She was to be the next guardian of the Eastvale Empire!

From now on, there would finally be no need to worry too much about the future of Margaery.

Raul watched Simon leave, then saw Norman enter, yet still did not receive the King’s summons.

He was so anxious he could hardly contain himself.

“Warren, could you please tell the King once more?” Unable to hold back, he looked toward Warren under the eaves.

Warren looked at him with unprecedented coldness and said, “The King is busy. It’s not up to me. Chancellor, you’d best

wail.”

‘After what you did at the Icy Pool, now you feel guilty? It’s already too late!‘ Warren thought.

In the Imperial Study.

Norman stepped forward and greeted, “Your Majesty.”

“Norman, sit here.” The King pointed to the seat beside him and sighed. “I called you here today to discuss the matter of the

Star of Fortune,” he said.

Norman nodded and said, “I have already heard. Raul, to save Tessa, brutally killed the Star of Fortune, only to end up hurting himself with his own petard.”

He sighed, “Truly deranged.”

The King nodded and said, “Indeed, deranged.”

As he spoke, he looked at Norman and continued, “Norman, can you tell me why you accepted Margaery as your disciple last time? The Chapel of Wisdom has never had a precedent of accepting female disciples.”

There were not many disciples in the Chapel of Wisdom. But each one was remarkable.

Even he, the King, was once from the Chapel of Wisdom.

Norman’s attainments were truly unfathomable. Over the years, the first disciple he accepted was Dashnell.

The second was Margaery.

The King could understand accepting Dashnell, but Margaery…

Upon hearing this, Norman sighed and replied, “Perhaps it was fate. That day, I asked her a question, and her answer resonated deeply with me. I felt she possessed spiritual insight, so I accepted her.”

“Really?” The King was somewhat surprised and asked, “She is only sixteen. What did she say that moved you so deeply?”

Norman recalled the scene and, after a moment, he said, “That day, I asked her, as a person, how can one avoid being worn down by the suffering of this world and achieve peace of mind?”

The King responded, “That is a difficult question. Some people spend their whole lives and never solve it.”

As he spoke, he looked at Norman and added, “I am quite curious how she would answer.”

Norman smiled and replied, “She said that the suffering of this world is nothing more than love, hatred, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, and doubt. It is these things that torment people to the point of longing for transcendence or death.

“To attain liberation, one must not argue with reality.
