Chapter 1015
Yuvan returned to the study,
There, Wayne set down the scroll he was reading, and rose to his feet. “Your Highness, why did Violet come? Has Lady Molly spoken to her?”
Yuvan’s voice was laced with disdain as he said, “She’s a fool. She’s associating with Jessica in secret, and even went against Carissa just to help Jessica.”
Wayne shook his head. “Your Highness, marrying her was a mistake. She has no standing‘ in the Spencer family. Even the head of the Spencer family is unwilling to engage with you for her sake. She’s of no help at all.”
“How was I supposed to know she was this stupid?” Yuvan muttered, sitting down.
His eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint.
“Violet is a hundred times better than her. When she came today and slapped Molly, she warned her and left–sharp, decisive, and without hesitation. Watching her, I felt a deep regret. If I had married her, not only would I have gained the full support of the Spencer family, but I’d also have an invaluable ally. She would be worth more to me than so many others.”
“Your Highness, we’re surrounded by enemies on all sides. You must tread carefully and avoid provoking anyone from Hell Monarch Estate for now,” Wayne said cautiously.
However, Yuvan was lost in his thoughts, consumed by his plans. “Molly is useless. She should step aside and let someone more capable take her place.”
Wayne was startled. “Your Highness, you can’t possibly mean… That’s unthinkable! Violet is a wild mare, impossible to tame. She’s a force of nature, not someone you can control.”
“Wayne, I have no choice. Without Eleanor, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to make progress in the capital. Molly is useless, and Fiona isn’t my primary wife so the noble ladies of the capital won’t associate with her. But Violet has connections here, and she’s close friends with Carissa. If I marry Violet, Carissa would certainly turn a blind eye to our actions out of consideration of their friendship.”
Wayne shook his head. “Your Highness, you’re thinking too simplistically. The same strategy can have vastly different outcomes depending on the people involved. If your heart is unsettled, you’ll only become impatient and rash. You need to calm down and look for a better way forward. Otherwise, you might as well give up.”
Yuvan’s voice rose suddenly, filled with frustration as he snapped, “I can’t give up! I’ve worked for years to get here! How could I just walk away?!”
He took a few deep breaths to steady himself.

“You’re right. I’ve been too hasty. But I just can’t figure out the king. It’s as if he’s never suspected me. Whenever he sees me, his gaze unchanged. This man’s thoughts run too deep. I’ve truly underestimated him.”
Yuvan knew Salvador had already begun to suspect him and had made no attempt to hide the fact that he had sent spies to watch his every move. Yet, each time they interacted, there was no outward sign that anything had changed.
The more Salvador did nothing, the more elusive he became. Over time, it created a sense of unease in those around him.
Yuvan was still short on soldiers, and the Spencer family had yet to give him a clear answer. Whenever the topic of warhorses and weapons came up, they always steered the conversation away, avoiding it like the plague.
Now, the forces in the capital had been shattered, Eleanor was no longer useful, and even the few plans he put in motion had failed. The continuous loss of men and resources had drained him of the patience he once had.
And then there was still Rafael.
“I have no choice but to do this. Even if I’m not aiming for anything grand, I still need to protect myself.”
Yuvan sighed deeply, frustration clouding his features. Yet, there was a sharp glint in his
eyes.
“The Spencer family dotes on Violet the most. I need her to submit to me, whether willingly or not. Once she loses her innocence, she will have no choice but to follow me. I’ll let her be my princess consort and will never mistreat her.”
Wayne shook his head and sighed. “Your Highness, I don’t agree with this course of action. Violet is no ordinary woman. She has the backing of the Spencer family, the Inferno Guild, and the Hell Monarch’s household. From what I’ve seen of her character, she is not the type to be constrained by societal norms.
“If you handle this poorly, not only will you fail to gain the Spencer family’s support, but you’ll also make enemies. The Hell Monarch is likely well aware of our dealings, even though he has no proof and can’t pinpoint our forces. If you harm Violet, the combined wrath of the Spencer family and the Hell Monarch’s household will be something we can’t withstand.”
“Then, what do you propose? If we don’t do this, how can we turn things around?” Yuvan asked, his tone growing more impatient.
Wayne thought for a moment before replying, “I believe we should continue focusing on Marshal Prince at the Southern Frontier. As long as we can control a portion of the Southern Frontier’s forces, our chances of victory will increase dramatically.

“As for Westhaven, we haven’t lost as long as King Edmund is on the throne. You’ve always said to take things slowly and to wait for the right moment. You’ve missed several opportunities already. Compared to when we first discussed the Southern Frontier, our chances are now much lower. Why rush now?”
