The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 239
The servant waves his hand behind to order a servant to bring water for his king.
The King coughs his life out as he asks in midst of his gasps “W-Woman?! You…. said A WOMAN?!”
The servant hands him water and nods “They are sure that it’s not Princess Veronica-”
The King snorts “That Princess will never set her foot away from her Palace! Then who is she?!”
The soldier too frowns confused.
‘That’s right His Highness is well aware that The Princess is in The Western Realm now! Who is this woman?!’
The King who is thinking deeply tilts his head as if remembering something “Perhaps…That girl… No way… She is just a commoner…”.
He couldn’t help think astonished “Then who is this Lady leading The Northern Realm? And that Crown Prince is simply following a woman? Just who is this Lady? Who is capable of winning Kalki’s trust?!”
“He never trusts his own shadow! Does she know the way to break this strategy? Or… Is Crown Prince using this Lady as a mere bait? That should be the case… He doesn’t even trust his brother with wars! Ha… That’s right! He is using this Lady as bait!”

Maya is now nearing the third layer of the fence and gasps when she looks at the huge smoke emerging around the fence from inside.
‘This final fence should be deadly! This fire… Does he know about their plan? Could he … fight back the fire? Because I can’t bear coldness…’
Maya feels someone’s presence behind her and turns.
Kalki speaks glaring at the fence “Stay close to Xavier”.
Maya wanted to roll her eyes but she nods “I will protect him”.
Kalki averts his eyes from the fence for the first time and looks at her for a moment. He is astonished by her words for a moment. Seeing her exhausted face he wanted to send her back but he couldn’t.
‘Shouldn’t she worry about her protection?’
He felt himself being so greedy, selfish and even ungrateful. At this point for bringing her in midst of all this. But he could be ruthlessly selfish than this when it comes to his brother.
Even though she will suffer for a bit, the cause of her presence is bigger than her exhaustion now. He wanted her here as his replacement if something happens to him today.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#'s-respected-empress_12655201705389405/my-master-is-invincible!_51997912338591964″>#'s-respected-empress_12655201705389405/my-master-is-invincible!_51997912338591964</a> for visiting.
It felt like an end to him since he heard that the Southern Realm decided to use the burning arrows to attack him. They must have heard the rumours from last time.
‘I should have died in that burning chamber last time anyway. If not for her…’
Seeing Maya and hearing her words, Kalki is confident that she will keep her words. He is also assured that Xavier would never leave her alone with no guard. He looks at Xavier, who arrived on Charles and stood on the other side of Maya.
He eyes them for more than a few moments and sighs looking at the fence sternly.
‘I know. They will protect each other today. Even I end up dead today, Xavier will take care of the rest with the help of my Edicts which I left in my chamber. And… She might…resent me if I abandon her before she could close the Cold Prison. I should have left the information for her…’
He shuts his eyes in instant regret ‘I didn’t think of her…I could only hope Alex helps her’.
His eyes land on Eros and he smiles in his heart ‘You did well. Live well in future too’.
NEIGHS!
Eros heard his Master’s words and acknowledges him with a joyful sound.
Eros is in ecstasy!
Damn! Eros is so easy to please!
Who would have thought his Master would appreciate him out of nowhere?!
Seeing the fire and smoke emerging viciously inside the fence, Kalki’s eyes turn a little glossy. A little maybe not as expected.
He looks back at his soldiers for the last time filling his heart with pride and takes a deep breath before ordering them to charge.
Maya jumps in fright when she heard his roar.
‘Heavens! Is he trying to make me deaf?!’
But seeing him leading the soldiers into the fire surrounded fence, she chokes in horror.
‘Why would he… Is he seeking death?!’
Xavier speaks before moving ahead “Follow me, Maya”.
Maya is too shocked to decide and looks at the way Kalki entered.
“Would he be fine?”
Eros answers flatly “My Master is invincible, Your Highness”.
Maya could only nod subtly as she followed Xavier. She gazes back unsure again before moving towards Xavier.
She grabs the bow and starts covering Xavier from any attacks.
She thought she could be relieved once she is with Xavier alone. Because Kalki’s presence is always stressful for her.
But for some reason, she felt strangely bothered as the image of Kalki entering the fire fence alone before made her heart in chaos.
Weird.
There is this feeling under her stomach making her not able to remove Kalki’s face from Maya’s mind.
She focuses hard while Xavier rode Charles around the fence.
All they have to do is move to the other side of the strategy and open the fences from inside so that Victor could enter too with his battalion of soldiers to strengthen them.
That would protect both the soldiers and save time in defeating the enemies.
Maya felt this move commendable at first when Kalki proposed this but at this moment, she finds his words strange.
‘Why would he choose to face them alone? Even though he could manage for an hour or so till we reach him… Why didn’t he change his plan when he saw the fire?’
As time passes the questions in Maya’s mind only increased and this gut feeling of hers gradually grows a strange worry in her.
She is about to grab an arrow but stops in her thought.
‘Is he confident that he could survive this or…Was he aware of this from the start?!’
