From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 1529: 691 The Way Back_1 Chapter 1529: 691 The Way Back_1 Whale Feather had long heard of the renown of the saintess, but had not yet met her in person.

Today, he finally got the chance and was determined to see her for himself.

As one of Liam Anderson’s trump cards, Whale Feather knew of Liam’s annihilation plans against Nando.

The Saintess was also one of his partners and even strategized for this plan.

This saintess, seen by the world as pure as jade and compassionate, was in fact full of schemes and cunning.

Her role in this plan was evidence enough.

Many people think that if a woman is scheming, she must deviate from the traditional image of a woman, and is therefore not a good woman.

...

On the contrary, Whale Feather believed that only such a woman had the right to stand beside Liam Anderson and share in the rule of the world.

Being the Queen Consort of Liam Anderson wasn’t so easy, and if she didn’t have some cunning tactics, it wouldn’t be good for the kingdom or the people.

Otherwise, the previous Queen Consort would be a profound lesson.

According to his investigation, this saintess was a smart woman, she would never make the stupid mistake of walking into a tiger’s den.

Liam was too concerned to think deeply about it.

Whale Feather, however, was convinced that the Saintess must have another trick up her sleeve.

What could it be?

While walking and contemplating, Whale Feather could not figure out her intentions.

But whatever she was scheming would be revealed soon enough.

Pondering over the saintess, Whale Feather was making his leisurely way towards the King’s Palace.

It was not that he was unconcerned.

Nowadays, the people of Nando had been mostly annihilated, and the Tiger Feather Army was standing by, with the whole palace under control, he had nothing to worry about.

As for the saintess, if she died so easily, that would be overestimating her.

Suddenly, intermittent static came through his earpiece.

Whale Feather narrowed his eyes.

The signal had been blocked, and his subordinates couldn’t convey the message.

Something had gone wrong.

Whale Feather coldly ordered the driver, “Return to the dock, now.”

The driver didn’t dare to delay a moment, drifting off-road and speeding towards the coast.

The streets were now deserted, which saved a lot of time, but it still took about ten minutes.

Upon arriving at the dock, Whale Feather immediately jumped out of the car and rushed over.

His ship by the shore had already disappeared without a trace.

“What happened?”

Whale Feather grabbed a weapon from one of his subordinates standing by at the dock and asked coldly, “Where’s the Snow Shark?”

“Sir, your Snow Shark set sail right after you left.

Wasn’t that your command?”

Whale Feather took a deep breath as he almost forgot the Snow Shark had the duty to patrol and cruise.

Whale Feather noticed a speedboat moored on the shore, he immediately jumped on it, started it up and plunged into the heart of the ocean.

A hundred nautical miles out, he finally caught sight of the Snow Shark.

To his astonishment, the Snow Shark had collided with a passenger ship which was only a third of the size, black smoke rising into the sky.

“Sir.” The surprised face of a subordinate showed up on a lifeboat.

“What happened?”

“Sir, our cruising crew in the west sea discovered an unidentified ship and immediately started pursuit.

We intended to report back to you immediately, however, our signal was jammed.

We chased it here and collided with the passenger ship.

Suddenly, a pirate ship took all the people from the passenger ship and escaped.

Our men pursued, but were repelled by a hail of arrows.

I’m afraid they are now out of Percival’s sea territory.”

“A pirate ship?”

“Yes, a pirate ship.

We’ve dealt with pirates before, I can tell, they were South Beverley pirates.

I saw the flag on their ship clearly, it was South Beverly pirates.”

Whale Feather’s calm voice was filled with suppressed anger, “Haven’t those pirates already submitted to Allegro Kent?

Has Allegro also betrayed the King?”

Gazing out at the vast sea, Whale Feather knew it was too late to call for more ships.

Estimating the time, they were already in international waters, where, under international laws, royal ships were prohibited from entering without prior notification.

Violaters would be held accountable.

“This isn’t good, the situation at the King’s place…”

Whale Feather immediately turned the boat around and rushed back to Inracetales.

Loretta put down the binoculars, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked towards Inracetales.

She had managed to send everyone else away, but she had left herself.

If the king discovered that he had been deceived, had she considered the consequences?

Footsteps sounded behind her, a rough voice falling in her ear, “We should trust her.

If we don’t hold her back, she can act without reservation.”

Loretta sighed, “But it still hurts.”
