Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4760

Fanny was a smart woman. She quickly realized she was being set up. She furrowed her eyebrows and shouted at Zack. "Don't accuse me of things I never did. I am loyal to Her Majesty and will never betray her. Besides that, I have been staying in the palace all this time while the war started. If you want to accuse me, please find a better reason."

Her argument was solid, and she delivered it with integrity. Many officials nodded in agreement with Fanny because she was right; she did not accompany the troops and thus could not have betrayed them.

However, Zack had thought it through. He sneered and looked into Fanny's eyes, "Stop arguing. Before we left, Her Majesty and I had already planned our attack. You were there too. After we departed, you secretly sent someone to deliver our plan to the leader of the pirates. That's how she got ahead of us every time, and in the end, she managed to break through the formation and attack us."

Zack wore a sorrowful and angry expression as he outlined and meticulously mapped out the charge.

Fanny's body could not stop quivering as a surge of rage washed over her. "What war plan? You have made everything up."

Zack was right when he said the Empress requested to speak with him alone, and Fanny was there too. However, they never discussed the war plan. It was all made up by Zack. All the officials were dumbfounded. Fanny and Zack had their points, and they could not tell who was telling the truth.

Suddenly, Zack laughed coldly and pointed at himself. "Made everything up? I am the Great General. Why do I have to make up some false accusation just to prove that you are wrong without any reason? Look at me. I nearly died in the war. Do you think I would risk my life just to accuse you?"

After that, he took a bloodied secret letter and threw it onto the floor. "That is the letter that Fanny wrote to the leader of the pirates. There's no way she could deny it anymore with that evidence."

Zack's eyes were filled with venom. He had forged the secret letter. He replicated Fanny's handwriting and purposefully covered it with blood to obscure it and make it impossible to tell whether Fanny had penned it.

The officials gathered and opened the secret letter to inspect it. According to Zack, the battle plan was written on the note, and Fanny had signed her name at the bottom. Everyone was taken aback by the news, and they all glared fiercely at Fanny.

"It's you!"

"Fanny! Her Majesty had treated you well. How dare you collude with the pirates!"

"Cats always hide their claws. You committed treason by cooperating with the enemy and killing Her Majesty. No one will show you pity even if you are tortured a hundred times!"

As the officials continued to shout and scold her, Fanny trembled faintly. She was angry and aggrieved. It never crossed her mind that Zack would forge a secret letter to set her up. However, Fanny quickly calmed down and stared at Zack. "You framed Her Majesty and accused me. Your ultimate goal is to seize the throne and become Emperor, right? I will not let you succeed."

Zack said, "How are you still not ashamed after what you have done? Guards, arrest Fanny! Hang her at the city's gate for three days and after that persecute her publicly."

Nearly a hundred guards rushed into the hall and surrounded Fanny as the last word was spoken.

Fanny bit her lower lip and remained calm as the guards approached her cautiously. She yelled at Zack, "You are the one who is attempting to commit treason, not me! Nothing good will come out of this for you."

After that, she activated her internal energy to fight against the guards. One of the reasons Quincy had valued Fanny was because of her ability, not only in governing but also in fighting. However, she was only a woman, and she gradually became unable to withstand the guards' attacks.
