Chapter 176: A Grave That Changed the Kingdom

"Why would he do that?" Primrose asked.

But instead of answering, Raven looked at her and asked a different question. "Your Majesty ... do you know where His Majesty went?"

Primrose frowned the moment Raven asked something that didn’t seem related to the Marquess at all. "He had something to take care of outside," she said. "Why are you asking?"

"Because ..." Raven whispered, "His Majesty will be the reason my husband dies."

"All I saw in my vision," she continued hesitantly, "was His Majesty leading my husband to kill himself tonight. I couldn’t hear what he said to the Marquess ... but His Majesty looked so ... angry."

Angry?

Primrose knew Edmund had been investigating whatever the Marquess was hiding from the public, but what kind of secret could possibly make him that angry?

Even when Primrose told him that the Marquess of Moonshadow had been abusing his wife for years, Edmund’s expression hadn’t changed much.

He clearly found the man disgusting and rotten, but his face had stayed calm, almost expressionless.

So ... what did he hear this time?

What kind of truth could shake a man like Edmund—a stoic, cold-faced man—show such visible rage?

"Will he be alright?" Primrose suddenly reached out and grabbed Raven’s arm, holding it tightly. "My husband ... is he going to be alright?"

Raven narrowed her eyes slightly. [She just heard that her husband would lead someone into his death, and yet ... the only thing she’s worried about is whether he’ll be alright.]

Was that surprising? The Marquess would die regardless. But Edmund ... Edmund was her heart, so of course, she’d be more worried about him.

"Nothing bad will happen to His Majesty," Raven said softly. "Since the Marquess takes his own life, the case will be closed. That’s all I can see for now."

"That’s a relief." Primrose let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding and sat back down. "I’m glad he’ll be alright."

"Yes ... it’s a relief, Your Majesty." Raven’s shoulders relaxed. Her whole expression softened, as if a heavy weight had finally been lifted from her chest.

[I’m finally free,] she thought. [I used to think this day would never come. I thought it was just a dream, something too far away to reach.]

"I might need to stay the night here, Your Majesty," Raven said after a moment. "I need an alibi. Just in case anyone asks questions."

Primrose nodded without hesitation. "Of course. You can stay as long as you need. There are plenty of empty rooms here, you’re free to pick whichever one you like."

After that, neither of them said a word. Raven simply sat beside Primrose, lost in thought, already imagining what she would do once her husband was gone.

She was even thinking about taking her children on a little vacation, something peaceful, something new. Something that finally felt like freedom.

Of course Raven felt that way. If Primrose had been in her position, she wouldn’t have cared about her husband either. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Lady Raven," Primrose finally spoke again, her voice calm but a little unsure. "You said ... you can also see things that happen in other timelines, right?"

Raven nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty, you’re right. However, unfortunately, my visions of that other timeline are much messier, so it’s harder to make sense of."

Primrose clenched her hands tightly on her lap, gathering the courage to ask. "I don’t expect you to answer this, but ... you know I died in that timeline, right?"
