Peter's POV “You were the benefactor?!” I asked, raising my voice as I clenched my fist tightly.My dad nodded, his expression unyielding. "I was. But that wasn't my original plan. I knew you could stop him.”I furrowed my brow, confusion and anger warring within me."He was just a warning," my dad said, his voice calm but laced with menace. "Anna will never be safe from me, no matter where she hides in this kingdom.”He took steps towards me as he spoke, not minding the fact I was at the brink of reacting and doing something fucking terrible against him.“Now listen and listen well, Peter.” He said, his voice low as he placed a finger on my rising chest.“You have two choices now, take the council’s advice or witness the death of Anna.” I gritted my teeth strongly, pushing his finger off my chest, seething with rage, my teeth grinding together. "Fuck you!" I snarled, my fist flying before I could think twice.The punch landed square on his jaw, the sharp crack of impact reverbera

Peter's POV "I... I apologize, Your Highness," the General stuttered, his brows furrowed in confusion. "May I ask, why not?”“Because I can't have my kingdom looking helpless against our foes, we have to face our problem alone.” I replied. My Dad threw a deadly glare at me as he heard that. He saw right through my deception, knowing I'd lied about my reasons for rejecting the plan. Yet, as the retiring king, he was bound by duty to remain silent, his discerning gaze a testament to his disapproval of my rule.Not like I cared though.I knew I wasn't true to my promise to Anna, but at this moment, nothing else mattered. I had to put her first, even if it meant ignoring everything else."I'm sorry, Your Highness," an elderly councilman said, his voice laced with caution, "but if I may?”"Go ahead," I said.“I respectfully disagree with you, your Highness.” He started, making me sigh as I settled in my chair, interjoining my fingers together."Kelvin and his pack are like shadows," he

Anna’s POV The spilled hot sauce stung my nostrils, its sharp scent thick in the air.“Why, Lily?” I whispered, irritation sharpening my tone. “It was just a little mistake—”“I don't fucking care!” My eyes widened in shock as Lily yelled at the top of her voice, interrupting my sentences and making Sid flinch in fear.I glanced at her, then shut my eyes, shaking my head as I struggled to wrap my mind around her chaotic behavior.Maybe this was the reason why she wasn't blessed with a female child. Because of this ruthless attitude of hers.Only the goddess would know what would have happened to Sid if she had a daughter who behaved exactly like her.I sighed and stood up, facing Lily’s glaring face.“You said you saw me like a daughter,” I muttered under my breath, slowly bringing up the topic.“Yes I did, but how does that relate to my orders?” Lily added more pressure to her brows. My lips curled into a small smile and my face lightened up, but all vanished in a second as my fa

Anna's POVMy eyes widened as Lily landed a resounding slap on Sid’s face.What's her deal? Sid just made a little mistake.“You stupid bitch, how dare you!” Lily roared at her.“Do you know how much this cost me?” *Smack*Sid screamed in pain as she fell to the ground, another slap coming in contact with her hot cheeks.“I'm… I…” she stammered, her lips trembling as tears ran down her cheeks.“Shut up!” Lily yelled at her. “Please.” Sid pleaded before Lily grabbed her by the hair and she grunted in pain.My stomach churned as I watched Sid crumple to the ground, Lily towering over her like a predator over a prey. The sound of the slap echoed in my ears, but it wasn’t just the noise, it was the sheer hatred in Lily’s eyes that froze me in place.A few minutes ago, Lily was caring for me like a hen protecting her precious egg and now she has turned into some sort of monster against Sid.“I asked for a drink, you slot. I didn't ask for the drink to be poured on my favorite gown!” She

Anna's POV My heart began to race against my chest and my hands grew cold as Lily proceeded to the restroom.The restroom was just as stunning as the room. A serene oasis with a purple tub, a sleek sink, and the sweet scent of fresh roses.As we stepped into the bathroom, Lily reached for my buttons. I swiftly caught her hands, feeling a sudden rush of heat spread throughout my body.Never in my life did I imagine a royal princess helping me bathe. The embarrassment was overwhelming, but here I was, living it.I know Lily is trying to just take care of me but I feel she is overdoing it now.“Please, let me undress myself?” I pleaded, ignoring the sting I knew it would cause.Lily shook her head, a determined smile on her lips. “Just let me help, okay?”I sighed, my shoulders sagging. “Fine.”Lily's lips curved into a soft, gentle smile as I nodded my agreement.For fuck sake, why couldn't Sid just help me out with this? It wasn't just the embarrassment of being vulnerable in front

Peter's POV “Anna…” I shut my eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath before locking eyes with her again. Her face was pale, her eyes brimming with tears.“Please, Peter.” She pleaded, her lips trembling.I knew her request was rooted in the painful truth: I had killed the head maid’s son to save her, a choice that had been forced upon me. It was either him or her, I couldn't lose her, my happiness.“Anna, I can't keep that promise.” I spoke firmly, “I don't care about anything else, Anna. Just you.” Anna closed her eyes tightly, letting out a soft groan.“All those innocent people, Peter.” Anna whispered, “I can't be the cost of their lives. If you want me, you have to put your duties first to your people.” My heart ached at her words. I knew she was right, my duties as king were important. But so was she. She was my everything.“I made a vow to you first, Anna. Not my kingdom.” I whispered, gently placing my hand on her palm.Anna's eyes opened, and she looked up at me, a tear ro
