The Queen is an authority figure, looking for a shrewd successor who would also fully respect her. Although Edith doesn't count as shrewd, she has been wholeheartedly dedicated to Your Majesty the Queen over the years. Adding the fact of her association with the Durant Family, the Queen always thought she was a fine choice. However, recent events have gradually awakened the Queen, and after investigating the Durant Family, it was found that Edith, along with Durant and Mr. and Mrs. Meg, seem to be paying lip service more often than not. They prefer power to respect for her.
An Yiqing suggested he confess everything tomorrow, even though it might infuriate the Queen. Still, it's a way of showing respect. Emory respects the Queen, so after doing all this, he confessed to her. It must be said, it's a risky move. But if played well, it could yield unexpected results.
Wiping his face, Emory looked at himself in the mirror. Take a gamble, take a chance, he has no regrets!
