Provoking a Graceful Bloom Novel

---- Chapter 270 If it had been anyone else, hearing a powerless, low-born lady speak with such audacity might have drawn only scoffs. But Nathaniel was not anyone else. He never looked down ona woman. At the Northern Frontier, many of his subordinates were female officers. Some were exceptionally skilled and had even been promoted to the rank of general He regarded Mira coolly and said, "You have fifteen minutes." Her eyes lighting up, she hurriedly said, "You might not know this, Your Highness, but my father had already unified the desert regions before he passed.

From the Vahada Grasslands to the Vahada Dunes, all fell under his command." Nathaniel didn't say a word, nor did he look at her, as if he were focused entirely on his tea, Mira knew immediately that he already knew these matters well. "But perhaps you aren't aware of the current situation in Vahada," she said. Nathaniel raised an eyebrow. "You mean to say you can locate the rebels in Vahada?" The unexpectedness of her claim caught him slightly off guard. ---- Mira shook her head. "Your Highness, why assume they are rebels? That's only a label imposed by the Aurensian king.

Because the king can't tolerate them, they're marked as lawless. That doesn't make it the truth." Liam scowled from where he was standing. "Watch your words, woman!" Speaking ill of Wilfred within Obsidian Estate could invite trouble. However, Nathaniel waved a hand dismissively, showing no sign of stopping her. With a flat expression, he said, "I find some merit in your reasoning. Continue." Mira realized that the man she admired was truly extraordinary. His mind and insight were far beyond those of ordinary people. She smiled faintly.

"Your Highness, as the monarch of the Northern Frontier, you should know that the people there were once labeled rebels too. But in truth, they are ordinary folk, simply seeking peace and stability in their lives." Nathaniel's eyes brightened at her words, just as she had hoped. He waved a hand, and Liam stepped forward to pour Mira a cup of tea.

---- She continued without hesitation, "Your Highness, if the court steps in to appease the people and offers a different approach to bring the remaining six clans of Vahada under control, Aurensia would become the undisputed power across the entire Lynsera Continent." With both the Northern Frontier and the Southern Frontier secured, Aurensia's influence had already grown tremendously, establishing it as a superpower on the continent.

If they could reclaim the nomads of the Vahada Grasslands and the Vahada Dunes, and then subdue the long-unconquerable Northern and Southern Mundra, then no one in all of the Lynsera Continent could rival Aurensia "Beyond the Vahada Grasslands lie the Kyren Peaks, and on the other side is Southern Mundra. Once the six Vahada clans are secured, it will be just a matter of time before Southern Mundra is reclaimed. By then, you will surely become Aurensia's Warbringer and be remembered for all eternity," she explained. Nathaniel said nothing.

With his gaze lowered, it was hard to guess his thoughts. Though Mira was sure he would like the proposal, his silence carried a profound, unfathomable authority that made anyone dare not act rashly. No matter how bold she had been in other courts or camps, she found herself respectful, even slightly ---- afraid, in the presence of this man. Of course, she wouldn't be so drawn to him if he weren't so formidable. Mira couldn't read his thoughts, but she felt the moment had come.

She stood, looked at Nathaniel, and spoke earnestly, "Your Highness, | hold the command emblem of Vahada's six clans. If you're willing to work with me, I'll spare no effort to help you subdue the six clans, then follow you across the Kyren Peaks to take Southern Mundra in one decisive strike."
