The Humbling Of Alaric Royale

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-16 13:37:09

The Royale estate was no stranger to luxury or discipline. The sprawling mansion was home to countless house staff, from chefs and cleaners to personal assistants and security.

Alaric’s reputation as the richest man in Country M had cultivated an aura of untouchable authority. His every word was treated as law, his presence commanding reverence wherever he went. That was, until the triplets decided to take over.

The house staff couldn't help but exchange glances as Alaric strode into the grand dining hall with Arlyle, Artie, and Allie flanking him like little generals. The scene was surreal. This man, known for his cold detachment and domineering demeanor, now carried a clipboard handed to him by his youngest daughter.

“Daddy, don’t forget your tasks for the day,” Allie said, her tone firm but sweet. “Yes, Young Miss,” Alaric said with a sigh, his tone devoid of his usual authority.

The head chef, who had worked for the Royale family for over a decade, nearly dropped the souffle he wa

    The Royale estate buzzed with activity as Alaric's "love training" entered its next phase. The triplets, with their natural knack for leadership, had taken over a small section of the mansion, transforming it into a makeshift “academy.” The staff watched in awe as the godlike tycoon followed every instruction from his children, their fearless commands cutting through his usual air of authority.“Alright, Daddy, let’s go over today’s schedule,” Arlyle said, pointing to the timetable mounted on the wall of the “training room.” Alaric squinted at the chart, which was color-coded and meticulously detailed.7:00 AM – Morning greeting call to Mommy.8:00 AM – Compliment practice with staff.12:00 PM – Research break: reading books on relationships.3:00 PM – Roleplay: how to apologize properly.6:00 PM – Evening call to Mommy.“Compliment practice?” Alaric asked, raising an eyebrow. “Mommy loves sincere compliments,” Allie explained. “You’re not very good at giving them yet, so practice is

    Morning sunlight streamed through the grand windows of the Royale mansion, casting a warm glow on the bustling household. The triplets were up early, preparing to implement the next phase of Alaric’s “love training.” While the young masterminds strategized, the house staff watched in awe, whispering among themselves about how their once untouchable boss had turned into a lovesick student under the guidance of his precocious children.“Daddy,” Arlyle began, holding a clipboard that seemed far too professional for his age. “We’ve noticed a weakness in your approach.” Alaric, sitting at the dining table with a cup of coffee, raised an eyebrow. “And what’s that?”“You’re too predictable,” Allie chimed in, tapping her tiny finger on the clipboard. Artie nodded solemnly. “Mommy is a strong, independent woman. She doesn’t need grand gestures all the time. She values thoughtfulness and consistency.”“And you haven’t shown her enough of that,” Arlyle added. Alaric frowned. “I’ve been calling

    Alaric stood outside Elona's villa cum apothecary, nervously fidgeting with the small bouquet of white lilies in his hand. The triplets had instructed him to surprise her with small gestures, and he hoped this would be the perfect opportunity.Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and stepped inside. Elona looked up from her desk, a hint of surprise on her face. "Alaric, what are you doing here?" she asked, her tone neutral."I brought you some flowers," he said, holding out the bouquet. "I know how much you love white lilies." Elona's expression softened slightly as she accepted the flowers. "Thank you, Alaric. They're beautiful."Alaric smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "I'm glad you like them. I was thinking... maybe we could grab lunch together? I'd love to catch up and talk about the kids."Elona raised an eyebrow, clearly hesitant. "I don't know, Alaric. I'm pretty busy today." Alaric nodded understandingly. "No worries, I completely get it. Maybe some other time, then?

    Alaric sat in the spacious lounge of his penthouse, staring at the leather-bound journal Elona had left behind, in the hospital grade room, in the villa where she'd treated him and brought him back from his vegetative state.His chest tightened as he ran his fingers over the worn pages, filled with scribbled notes about her pregnancy and motherhood. The words felt like daggers to his heart, a stark reminder of everything he had missed, everything he had lost due to Harley Carter’s deceit.He could still hear her voice from the day he’d regained consciousness. Weak and trembling, he had overheard her speaking to Master Fu as she worked tirelessly to save his life."He didn’t even want to look at me, Master Fu. He believed I betrayed him. I endured everything. The rejection, the accusations, the loneliness. I bore our children alone, naming them after him because, despite everything, I couldn’t stop loving him. I wanted a part of him to stay with me, even if he never came back. What wou

Even if she pushed him away or told him she wasn't ready, Alaric was determined not to back down.He decided to suggest a holiday getaway to an upscale resort, just the two of them and the triplets. A chance for them to reconnect, away from the distractions of daily life."Elona, I was thinking... maybe we could take a trip together, just the five of us," Alaric said, trying to sound casual despite his eagerness.Elona raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. "I don't think that's a good idea, Alaric. I'm not ready for something like that."Alaric nodded, undeterred. "I understand. But I want you to know that I'm committed to our family, to you and the triplets. I'll do whatever it takes to prove that."Elona sighed, her voice firm. "I appreciate the sentiment, Alaric, but words mean nothing without action. I

    The cold evening air bit at Alaric’s skin as he pulled up to the gates of his villa. His mind was still reeling from his conversation with Senior Royale. The curse. The imposter. His mistakes.He had wasted over a year. A year living under the same roof as a fraud while his real wife was out there, alone. No. In the hands of another man. She didn't have her memories and that made her vulnerable. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. Never again. He will set things right. This was his vow to himself. As his car rolled to a stop, his sharp eyes caught sight of two figures standing near the gate. Edward Callahan. Tania. A frown settled on his face. What were they doing here? Hadn’t they just returned from abroad?Alaric stepped out of his car, his powerful frame cutting through the dim light of the villa’s entrance.

    Alaric sat in his dimly lit study, the ticking of the antique clock grating on his already frayed nerves. His fingers drummed against the polished wood of his desk, his mind replaying a detail that had been gnawing at him for days.Elona was five months pregnant when she arrived in Country M with Kian. That was nine months ago. He clenched his jaw. With the right calculations, she must have given birth. So, where was the baby? Or… babies, since Elona had a history of giving birth to multiples? Since he now knew the truth, it was obvious that he was the father. A shiver ran down his spine when the possibility of Kian claiming them as his flickered in his mind. His breath turned shallow, his obsessive compulsive need for order clashing violently with the messy reality he had allowed to unfold. He was a man who thrived on control, everything in its rightful place, everything accounted for.But this? This was chaos. An unprecedented kind of chaos. The real Elona was out there, with anot

    Meanwhile, in Velmorah, Aria decided not to worry about Alaric's threats or the threats that loomed in the dark. She did not even want to deal with the imposter who stole her identity. For her, the past life she once had, did not matter at all. What really mattered were her children, the flesh of her flesh. Now that they had reconnected, she felt whole again.Aria sat in the warmth of her private study, her delicate fingers curled around a porcelain teacup as she watched the triplets animatedly recount stories from their past. The soft glow of lanterns cast flickering shadows on the walls, but the only thing that held her attention was the three little geniuses before her.She had barely known them for a short while, yet it felt as though her soul had recognized them long before her mind had. They were the missing piece of her heart, the heartbeat she didn’t even know she had lost.The triplets took turns to help her understand the life they shared before she was hurt whilst accompany

    The prison wardens office swirled with a suffocating tension. The revelation hand a certain ominous feeling that was pressing down on everyone in the room. The forensic team stood frozen, the results on their screen a glaring contradiction to what had been believed for over a year.“This… this isn’t possible,” the warden stammered, his face turning ashen. His fingers trembled as he clutched the paper detailing the fingerprint results. Feeling the colad and fore doing aura emanating from the Royale grandfather and grandson, his knees nearly buckled. Alaric sat across from him, and his cold, calculating gaze drilling into the man like a sharpened blade. His posture was deceptively relaxed, but his aura was suffocating. Even the most hardened officers in the room dared not meet his eyes. “Explain,” Alaric said, his voice dangerously quiet.The forensic specialist cleared his throat, stepping forward. “Sir, according to our records, this woman”, he pointed to the prison cell's current oc

    Aria paced the length of the study, her fingers curled into tight fists. The weight of the letter still lingered in her mind, but it wasn't fear that consumed her now, it was frustration."Who does he think he is?" she muttered, her voice sharp with anger. "He had an imposter by his side for a year, and now he thinks he can summon me like I owe him an explanation?"Kian leaned against the desk, his arms crossed. "Alaric is a desperate man, Aria. The fact that he’s finally figured out that the woman beside him isn’t you means he’s digging deeper. We need to be ahead of him." Aria exhaled sharply. "I don’t care about what he figures out. I care about keeping my children out of this mess."Master Fu, who had been silent until now, set down a document on the table. "We might not have the luxury of staying out of it anymore. Our sources have confirmed something troubling, Maribel is not working alone. There's someone orchestrating this deception from the shadows."Aria stilled. "What do yo

    The days that followed were quiet but suffocating. The peacefulness of the Vortigen Grand Villa, which had once been a refuge, now felt more like a gilded cage. Aria's thoughts often wandered back to the time before her memories had been taken. Before she had learned the truth about her life, about Alaric, and about the world she had once belonged to. But those days seemed like a distant dream now.She focused on the present, on her children, and on the promise she had made to Kian. They would not let the past destroy what they had built. However, the threat of Alaric’s return still loomed over them like a dark cloud. The truth was out there, and it was only a matter of time before it reached him.Kian, ever the protector, was especially vigilant. He spent long hours studying the files and information Master Fu had gathered about Alaric’s movements, searching for any sign of weakness, anything that would give them an edge. He wasn’t about to let Aria slip through his fingers again. F

    The ominous, foreboding feeling that lingered over Vortigen Grand Villa had settled into a tense silence. Master Fu paced slowly in the study, deep in thought, while Kian and Aria sat with the triplets, who were now playfully rolling around on the rug. Their laughter seemed like a distant melody, a stark contrast to the storm brewing on the horizon.Aria absentmindedly played with Allie’s hair, the feel of her daughter’s soft curls grounding her, anchoring her to the present, to the family she had found in Kian and these beautiful children. She had made her decision. The past, with all its pain and lies, was behind her.But even as she tried to savor this peace, her thoughts kept drifting to the woman who had taken her place in Alaric’s life.

    The Vortigen Grand Villa was silent, tension swirling around the whole place. Master Fu sat at the grand study’s desk, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished mahogany surface. The triplets sat on the plush couch with Kian and Aria, their small faces serious as they waited.In his hands, Master Fu held the DNA analysis results, sent directly from Alaric himself, who had unknowingly delivered the truth into their hands.The envelope was already opened, the paper slightly crumpled from his grip. He had read the contents twice, yet the the truth was a bittersweet revelation. Although he expected it, Aria had no recollection of her past. But it was also good for the triplets to know that they were right.Aria took a slow breath, her fingers entwined with Kian’s. Although she had braced herself, though she had always felt an inexplicable connection to the triplets, a part of her still feared, feared that this was all a cruel trick of fate.Master Fu exhaled sharply before looking

    Forty-Eight Hours Later......Alaric Royale sat behind his massive oak desk, his fingers rhythmically tapping against the polished surface. The clock on the wall ticked steadily, but his mind was anything but calm.Forty-eight hours had passed. A whole two days since he had Maribel’s blood drawn under the guise of a routine check-up. Any minute now, he knew he'd be drawing closer to the truth.A soft ding echoed in the quiet office and his phone screen lit up with a message from Dr. Hastings: "The results are ready. You’ll need to see this in person."Alaric’s grip on his phone tightened. He rose from his chair, grabbing his coat with a sharp motion before striding out. Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, immediately fell in step beside him. “Sir?” Jimmy inquired, softly.“We’re going to Hastings’ clinic.” Alaric's response was clipped. Jimmy felt the suppressed rage and shuddered inwardly. Jimmy needed no further explanation. His sharp gaze darkened as he nodded. “Understood.”Dr. H
