I had never liked Cindy, but no way was I letting anyone drag my son through the mud!

Claiming Adam was seduced and tricked into marriage? That was a humiliation to me.

Rumors about love were the worst. They were almost impossible to prove wrong and way too easy for people to believe.

The more I argued, the more it looked like I was hiding something.

“Nonsense!”

A calm but furious voice cut through the chatter.

Fiona, Baron Kazek’s wife, who had been sitting quietly off to the side, jumped to her feet.

She was Astra’s aunt and also Cindy’s relative.

“Ms. Lily, you’d better back that up with proof!” Fiona’s face was grim, her whole body shaking. “Duchess Spencer fought a brutal war in Southreach. Every soldier saw it! Every medal she wears was earned by risking her life! Aren’t you scared of the consequences for slandering a national hero?”

“Consequences?”

Margaret turned toward Fiona with a cold stare.

A wave of pure-blood royal Alpha pressure hit Fiona like a wall.

Her pheromones, sharp and tinged with the metallic rot of blood, radiated outward like a net, wrapping around Fiona, a mere Beta.

“Mrs. Kazek,” Margaret said softly, but her words cut deep. “Truth doesn’t change. Lies don’t become real. If Cindy were innocent, why isn’t she here? Why did Adam give up his command? That’s guilt!”

“You” Fiona choked, pinned down by that overpowering scent. She gasped, her face pale, legs shaking. She sank back into her chair, unable to say another word.

Margaret’s lips twisted in pride, like a rooster showing off after a fight, scanning around with a smug, scornful look.

Watching it, my chest tightened with anger and helplessness.

In this circle that worshiped blood and strength, Margaret’s royal aura really shut people up.

Was I just going to stand there while they trampled my son’s fiancée and spat on me at my place?

Before despair could swallow me, a rush of footsteps pounded from the door.

“Sorry! I’m late!”

All eyes turned toward the entrance.

It was Count Camden’s wife.

Breathless, her hair a little messy, she clutched a long silk-wrapped bundle tightly.

Her face shone with a strange excitement-the kind that came from witnessing something amazing.

“Well, well, Mrs. Camden, did you go treasure hunting?” Lily sneered, dripping sarcasm. “What took so long? Did you fight a war in Southreach, too?”

Winnie Camden completely ignored Lily’s taunts.

She strode to the center of the hall, gave me a deep curtsey, and spoke between gasps.

“Your Majesty, forgive me! I left early, but… I got stuck passing the Silverpeak Ducal Estate. I couldn’t get through at all!”

“Stuck?” I frowned. “Is there trouble?”

“No trouble! Good news!” Winnie’s eyes sparkled. “It’s Oliver! Mr. Silva is holding an art exhibition at the Silverpeak Pack. The nobles are losing their minds-the streets are jammed! Even King Ryken went to see it!”

“What?!”

I leaped from the couch.

Oliver? That clusive, number-one scholar on the continent?

And he was holding an exhibition at Cindy’s place?

The hall buzzed instantly.
