The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 543

Xander kicked the gates open, leading the Aegis Guards as they instantly flooded into the mansion.

As the gates crashed open, the brass knockers clattered to the ground, startling the crows roosting under the caves into flight.

Immediately, the maids and servants inside screamed in panic, their cries echoing through the hall

When the commation finally reached Leonard, he was still comfortably napping in his room,

Leonard bellowed angrily. “What’s all that racket outside?”

The butler stumbled in, his face a mask of terror. “Lord Leonard, this is bad. The Aegis Guards.”

Leonard, who was still groggy with sleep, opened his eyes and mumbled, “The Aegis Guards? What about them?”

He had barely finished speaking when his eyes flew open in terror. “The Aegis Guards?”

“Yes! It’s Prince Kander. He brought the Aegis Guards in!” the butler stammered, barely able to speak clearly.

Leonard bolted upright, craning his neck to peer outside.

Sure enough, the Aegis Guards swarmed the courtyard, ransacking the entire mansion.

The terrified servants scattered in panic, only to be herded back at swordpoint by the Aegis Guards. Soon, the entire courtyard was filled with trembling figures forced to their knees.

Leonard’s mind was racing as he kept muttering, “This can’t be! How could Prince Xander have come after my mansion? Didn’t the Queen go to plead to His Majesty?”

Countless possibilities raced through his mind, yet it never occurred to him that he had already become the Queen’s disposable pawn,

In Leonard’s skewed calculations, he was convinced that if the Queen simply shed a few tears before Arthur, this whole affair would be easily swept under the rug

After all, Fermin was the Queen’s son and the prime candidate for Crown Prince.

If Fermin’s reputation was tarnished, he could not possibly be fit to be the Crown Prince.

Additionally, Leonard he firmly believed that he was such a useful pawn for the Queen that she wouldn’t easily abandon him.

Just as Leonard stood frozen in shock, the front doors burst open.

The booming voice of a member of the Aegis Guards came from outside. “Leonard Beckham, Chief of the Federal Bureau, come out at once, confess your crimes, and face justicel”

His voice boomed like thunder, cutting through with piercing clarity and intimidating authority.

Even Leonard, for all his usual composure, felt cold sweat trickling down his back.

With an ingratiating smile, Leonard bowed slightly to Kander and asked, “Prince Kander, what is the meaning of this? What offense could than committed to warrant you mobilizing such forces?

The leading Aegis Guards captain stepped forward and bellowed, “Leonard By His Majesty’s decree, we are seizing your mansion. Cooperate willingly if you know what’s good for you, or you’ll only make things worse for yourself”
