The Abandoned Luna's Journey to Power (by Emily Reed) novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Backing Down

Cindy’s POV:

I wanbed the color slowly drain from Princess Margaret’s face and continued in the same mild tone. The dragon ruby was a wedding from the Crimson Dragon Mercenary Company. Their commander personally menoted that it carries a unique magical mark. It’s one of their treasured relics. If I were careless expugh to lose in-or if someone were to take in-1 would of course, have to report in honestly

After all I wouldn’t want the commander to think I failed to value their gift Would F

“If that bot-tempered man decided to mobilize every mercenary and rogue in the capital to search for the ruby… or worse, escalate the manter all the way to King Rykem… oh my, in would be quite a scene.”

I sighed softly, as though troubled by the inconvenience. For the sake of dearing Amat Margaret’s name, we might have to invite Martha, the guards from last night, perhaps even Adam’s butler. to testify before the military tribunal. Let the entire kingdom judge for itself who exactly took the ruby.

“What do you think. Aunt Margaret?”

These words were like a heavy sledgehammer slamming into Margaret’s chest.

Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

She didn’t fear Queen Isabella, she didn’t fear me, and she didn’t even truly fear King Ryken.

But she feared those lawless mercenaries and rogues!

Especially the Crimson Dragon Mercenary Company-men notorious for their volatility.

If they learned their gift had been stolen, even if they didn’t storm Crystal Palace outright. the tidal wave of rumors and public outrage would be enough to shatter the reputation she had spent decades cultivating.

‘Princess Incites the Queen to Steal Her Daughter-in-Law’s Dowry.” If that headline spread, she would never recover in noble society.

A sheen of sweat formed along her temples.

She stared at me, venom in her eyes-but beneath it, unmistakable fear.

She knew I meant every word.
