The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 152 She Refuses to Bow Down

Lady Nora was not just accompanied by a few people, but led the Royal Guard, a force so imposing that not only Military Academy students, but even officers, and young ladies and gentlemen of the nobility would instantly lose psychological advantage, thoroughly suppressed and easily manipulable at her whim.

But Lin Fu’s reaction greatly exceeded expectations.

Far from shrinking back and being manipulated, she even managed to keep her own foolish companions in check.

With the thought that the Princess was watching not far away, the consequences of botching things were something she couldn’t afford.

"How dare you."

Lady Nora no longer hid on the sidelines and actively stepped forward, commanding in an even more imposing tone than the middle-aged female officer, "Men, make her kneel."

Two men from the Royal Guard immediately stepped forward, but Mervin and Ivan couldn’t just stand by and watch a member of their squad being bullied. They were about to protect her but were stopped by Joter who got in their way first.

"Don’t be impulsive. If you intervene, you’ll only escalate the situation, and ultimately, it will be Lin Fu who suffers."

Joter’s words poured over them like a bucket of cold water, and Mervin’s people reluctantly calmed down, containing their inner rage though their eyes still blazed with fighting spirit.

"There’s someone deliberately targeting Lin Fu," Joter whispered, "The provocation earlier was intentional to make Lin Fu slip up and get caught." He finished with a helpless, wry smile.

Mervin’s eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, clamped down on Lady Nora. Hearing Joter’s words, he replied, "They didn’t expect Lin Fu to be so defiant. They got the handle on her, but it put them in an awkward position where they couldn’t back down with dignity."

"That’s exactly it."

If they couldn’t suppress and intimidate Lin Fu into admitting wrongs and bowing her head, then it’s the Royal Family that would face embarrassment.

The dignity of the Royal Family truly shouldn’t be offended, and Lin Fu had to pay the price.

But those behind the deliberate provocation against Lin Fu would not escape unscathed either.

Their meticulous scheming ended up blindsided by Lin Fu’s flurry of wild punches, rendering the trap they laid on the platter useless.

"They must have intended to rebuke Lin Fu under the pretext of her establishing the reputation of the ’Imperial Blade’ during the Big Escape Killing in the rainforest. They came here to berate Lin Fu and humiliate her before rewarding her with a Royal Family-crafted weapon. This way, it would both demonstrate the Royal Family’s tolerance and benevolence and achieve their goal."

Ivan’s analysis was precise and spot on, matching Lady Nora’s intentions exactly.

"Yes!" Joter said with a helpless, wry smile, "If only Lin Fu conceded a little and admitted her mistakes, she could have blurred the issue, but..."

"Lin Fu would never bow her head and admit wrong," Mervin said emphatically, causing everyone to look at him simultaneously.

"She is unwilling to bow her head, and she cannot afford to bow her head."

Mervin paid no attention to the others, his deep eyes unwaveringly fixed on Lin Fu’s stubborn and straight back.

His gaze sparkled with extraordinary light.

The soldiers of the Royal Guard stepped forward, one on each side, seizing Lin Fu’s arms and shoulders, attempting to force her to kneel on the ground.

But Lin Fu struggled fiercely, a lone figure resisting against two men both taller and more robust, clad in battle armor.

Still, she was only one person, and her A-grade physical capabilities were somewhat lacking.

Those chosen for the Royal Guard were not only of noble birth, but also had exceptional personal qualifications.

Lin Fu’s face turned pale, sweat beaded on her forehead, and her body, unable to withstand the overwhelming force akin to a mountain’s weight, began to tremble faintly.

She could not kneel.

She would rather die than kneel.

Gradually, blood began to seep from her eyes and ears.

This was a sign of internal injuries caused by the violent clash of forces.
