Chapter 57 -057: Leader’s Demeanor

Land War Academy, Faculty Residential Area—

As the deputy head of the academy, with backing from powerful supporters, Jason’s residence was spacious, boasting prime location, and featured the most expensive retro-style decorations.

However, at this moment, he was in no mood to enjoy it.

Instead, he was trembling with fear, hiding at home, cursing David to high heaven.

This idiot, despite being an elite trained by the military academy and even armed with a thermal weapon, had failed to kill a freshman.

No wonder he had no prospects, relegated to serving on the trash star.

Jason was seething with hatred towards David.

He had planned everything so meticulously, as long as David killed Lin Fu, everything would be set in motion.

He would have gained favor with the Princess, handling the matter neatly and efficiently.

Afterward, he would simply dispose of David, ensuring the incident couldn’t be traced back to him.

It would be regarded as David’s failed whistleblowing followed by a vengeful retaliation.

This contingency plan was devised immediately after Lin Fu narrowly escaped the previous conspiracy, a matter that should have been straightforward but was botched by David.

Suddenly, the house’s alarm system blared to life.

Jason, heart pounding with dread, peeked out the window to see personnel dressed in Eighth Fleet uniforms already blocking the outside, which scared him out of his wits.

“It’s over.”

Jason fell to the ground, knowing that Major General Fu Xing’s men had caught up to him.

“Jason, open the door.”

As Song Zheng’s voice echoed, Jason dare not respond but instead immediately sent a distress call to the lady-in-waiting.

***

“Your Highness, that male student named David botched the job,” the lady-in-waiting reported respectfully, standing in front of the vanity while the young girl before her was being attended to by a dozen court maids with eyes closed.

“Useless. Can’t even handle such a small matter, and so clumsily at that,” commented the girl without even opening her eyes, a remark that turned a dozen maids’ faces pale with fright.

Everyone knew the Princess was angry.

“Yes, Jason really did not perform well this time,” the lady-in-waiting also disapproved of Jason. In fact, the attempt by David to assassinate Lin Fu was not her doing.

She would not adopt such a flawed method to assassinate Lin Fu.

In both Theresa’s and the lady-in-waiting’s view, Lin Fu was nothing but a worthless commoner.

She was not even worth the act of assassination.

Jason’s unilateral action had angered both of them.

Nevertheless, what’s done is done. Jason was the Princess’s man, and others would not see it as Jason overreaching himself.

“Jason is now asking for help. My advice is to save him,” the lady-in-waiting fearlessly continued her analysis, “The struggle between you and Prince is just beginning. Many ministers are watching to see where to align themselves. If we don’t save Jason, it could negatively impact other ministers’ perceptions of you.”

These words snapped the girl’s eyes open, a fierce glint in her beautiful gaze.

“Incompetent.”

“Jason certainly is incompetent, unable to handle even this minor matter. We will need to reconsider his usefulness in the future,” the lady-in-waiting continued, “But as I said, Jason is insignificant by himself, yet he was among the first to pledge loyalty to you. You need to show everyone watching that you are a sovereign who does not abandon allies.”

“I understand!”

Theresa nodded, “In that case, save Jason for now.”

She paused for a moment, then waved off the attending maids, standing up to look down on the lady-in-waiting from above, “I underestimated Major General Fu Xing’s concern for Lin Fu. But the more he does so, the less I can allow them to be together.”

The man she had her eye on had been taken by a mere commoner, a situation she found hard to tolerate.

“I understand,” said the lady-in-waiting.

“For the moment, leave Lin Fu be. Major General Fu Xing is so protective; we can’t afford to offend him.”

The lady-in-waiting, looking relieved, praised, “Your Highness is more and more like a true leader every day.”

The compliment clearly pleased Princess Theresa, who revealed a radiant smile.
