Chapter 382: 380 Exposure_1

The night grew deeper.

The sound of murder echoed through Silver Moon City, as fires lit up the sky.

The Silver Moon Guards, once protectors of order, had now become the root of chaos.

They not only ignored the burning granaries but also hindered the public trying to extinguish the fires, allowing it to spread.

This abnormal behavior led the residents of Silver Moon City to realize that something was amiss. Given the cries of murder and the bodies and blood spread across the streets, the term ‘rebellion’ came to mind for many half-elves.

So, a wave of panic quickly swept through the city, exacerbating the chaos.

However, faced with these developments, the Blood Knight Army was not rushed. They first secured the Half-Elf Palace, then dispatched troops to control the city’s four gates and main roads, but they refrained from entering the narrow alleys.

Meanwhile, they completely overlooked the burning granaries.

With both sides ignoring the spreading fire, it gradually took over nearby residential areas.

Cries, pleas for help, and screams filled the air.

This was destined to be a chaotic and bloody night. With fundamental order lost, suppressed evil finally burst forth.

Those who were normally compliant picked up weapons, the honest became vicious, those who held grudges immediately began to fight, and comrades turned into enemies.

Blood flowed freely in the night, with life amidst the chaos rendered even more worthless.

No doubt, it was a fiendish frenzy.

Finally, the Blood Knight Army could sit idly no longer.

Knight Logh had not expected the rebel army to be craftier and more malignant than he had imagined!

Now it seemed that they would rather burn Silver Moon City to the ground and have countless half-elf brethren die in the chaos, just to force the Blood Knight Army into alley warfare.

While Knight Logh was not willing to let his precious cavalry fight in the alleys, as time passed, he found that he could not hold on any longer.

He couldn’t watch the city’s food supply go up in flames. If that were to happen, the winter in the North Territory would be tough.

So, he finally ordered the march towards the burning areas.

Following his command, members of the Blood Knight Army began to infiltrate Silver Moon City’s streets and alleyways, much like a gentle stream.

The Silver Moon Guards who had been waiting for this moment immediately rushed out, and a brutal and violent hand-to-hand battle between the two sides ensued.

Thus, the bloody battle for Silver Moon City entered its most intense phase.

…

Meanwhile, Queen Isa’s labor was reaching a critical stage.

In the delivery room, Lady Sharon firmly held her daughter’s hand, constantly wiping the sweat from her forehead and encouraging her,

“Isa, push harder, push harder!”

On the bed, Queen Isa’s face was pale and sweaty. She was biting her teeth, making the greatest effort for the birth of her child.

However, the expression on the face of the attending doctor indicated that things were not progressing smoothly.

“What’s the situation? Ah?” Lady Sharon hurriedly turned to ask.

“My lady, her majesty, she… she…”

Seeing the doctor hesitate, Lady Sharon became more anxious. She quickly pulled out a vial of potion from her bosom and said to Queen Isa,

“Isa, I spent a fortune on this energy potion. Drink it quickly.”

Queen Isa took a few breaths, but shook her head, “No need, mother, I still have strength…”

“Now is not the time to be obstinate! Here, drink it.”

But Queen Isa firmly pushed away Lady Sharon’s hand, “The palace has prepared an energy potion, I can drink that…”

The doctor quickly pulled a vial of potion from her medical kit, “Indeed, my lady, we have prepared an energy potion.”

Lady Sharon frowned, “It’s fine, it’s the same. Here, Isa, drink the potion.”

With that, she tried to bring her own energy potion to Queen Isa’s mouth.

The female doctor whispered softly, “But madam, Her Majesty cannot casually consume things from outside the palace…”

Lady Sharon instantly got angry, turned around and rebuked, “What do you mean! Are you suspecting me?”

The female doctor got scared and quickly shook her head, “No, I dare not…”

Observing this, Queen Isa said breathlessly, “Mother, do not blame her, this is the palace rule, everything I eat and drink needs to be tested first.”

Lady Sharon glanced at her daughter and reluctantly nodded, “Okay, then it’s not necessary to trouble you any longer, you should drink the potion prepared in the palace.”

Only then did the female doctor sighed with relief, she quickly came forward to let Queen Isa drink the energy potion prepared in the palace.

Afterwards, Queen Isa’s complexion visibly became rosy, apparently, the potion was very effective.

“Isa, push, push hard!” Lady Sharon encouraged her again.

However, as time passed, the situation did not improve.

The birthing doctor became increasingly anxious and was often at a loss for words.

Observing this, Lady Sharon could no longer suppress her restlessness and immediately came to the foot of the bed to check on Queen Isa’s condition.

Though she had never assisted in childbirth, Lady Sharon had given birth to three children herself and naturally knew a thing or two about this matter.

So, when she lifted the blanket and saw the situation below Queen Isa, she was stunned.

“Isa, why… why is there no movement at your cervix…”

“Is that so? Mother,” Queen Isa said faintly, sitting up straight, her painful expression completely disappeared as if everything just now was an illusion.

Lady Sharon froze, clearly not understanding what was going on.

Queen Isa looked at her mother with sharp eyes and said solemnly, “Mother, perhaps your energy potion can help me. Why don’t you bring it out and let someone test it first before giving it to me.”

Lady Sharon was shocked, she stammered, “You… you are not in labor at all, right?”

But Queen Isa did not answer her mother’s question, and instead persisted, “Mother, where is your energy potion? Bring it out.”

“Since you are not giving birth, then of course there is no need for that potion…”

“No, Mother, I want to drink it,” Queen Isa said with an undeniable tone.

The doctors and maids in the delivery room were also shocked by the sudden change. Her Majesty was just pretending to give birth… Though they could not understand why the queen would do such a thing, they clearly felt the oddness in the situation, each of them lowered their heads in silence, not daring to make a sound.

Under Queen Isa’s stringent gaze, Lady Sharon’s face became increasingly distressed, yet she still didn’t dare bring out the energy potion she had earlier.

“Mother, when father wanted to marry me into the royal family, I once begged you, but you outright refused me then, saying-

As a child of the Miller household, it is my duty to contribute my strength to the family’s prosperity, even if the cost is a lifetime of happiness.”

Queen Isa looked at her mother, her eyes flashing with thick disappointment and mockery.

She continued, “So, mother, for the sake of the Miller family’s prosperity, what price are you prepared to let me pay this time?”

Lady Sharon was trembling, she weakly defended herself, “Isa… what, what do you mean by that…”

“Potion!” Queen Isa said coldly.

“You, you haven’t given birth yet, what do you need the potion for…” Lady Sharon continued to play dumb.

But this kind of resistance was destined to be in vain.

Quietly, an armored person whose face was obscured, appeared behind Lady Sharon, picked her up.

“What… What are you doing! Isa, Isa… you can’t do this! I am your mother! Your birth mother!”

However, these words not only failed to arouse Isa’s sympathy but made her eyes even colder.

The armored person took the vial of potion from Lady Sharon and handed it to a doctor nearby.

Queen Isa’s chilling command came at the same time:

“Test it and see if there are any issues.”

The doctor nervously took the potion and said,

“Yes, Your Majesty!”
