Chapter 74: A Betrayal Unseen

Just when Lin Yuer believes she has secured victory, a betrayal from within her own ranks shakes her to the core. A trusted confidant, one who has been with her from the beginning, is revealed to have been feeding information to Lord Xian. The revelation strikes hard, as Lin Yuer realizes that the enemy is not just outside her walls—but inside as well.

The betrayal is not only personal but also strategic. The leaking of critical information about her movements and plans has given Lord Xian the edge he needed to execute a series of surprise attacks. In a single night, several of Lin Yuer's key allies are captured, and her trade routes are sabotaged. The damage is significant, but Lin Yuer is not one to wallow in defeat.

Instead of retaliating immediately, Lin Yuer retreats into her inner circle, strategizing with Wei Li and her most loyal supporters. The betrayal, though painful, serves as a lesson in trust and the intricacies of power. She begins to rebuild, focusing on those who have proven their loyalty. The mole, however, is still at large, and Lin Yuer vows to root out the traitor and bring them to justice.
