The owner of the restaurant was brought back for questioning.They shoved him into the interrogation room.Aurora went in to talk to him first.The owner sat stiffly behind the table. There was a mixed expression of anger and panic on his face.“What is this all about!” he cried furiously, “I told y
“Are you sure that you never put it to action?” Clemente asked in an intimidating voice, “Then explain this car accident. It was your car. And it happened 5 years ago, on the same night that Keavy died, at 6:45, which was the exact time that you left the restaurant and were heading to Keavy’s house.
Aurora hesitated for a while and decided to share her doubts with Clemente.“Clemente, I still feel that there are missing parts in this thing…” she said.“About what? The owner admitted to his crime already,” Clemente looked confused.“The owner is responsible for Keavy’s death. But what about Elde
Aurora looked over and found that it was Elder Lamonte.By his side was Agnes, with her head held down.“…Queen Aurora,” Elder Lamonte gave a nod to Aurora.There was an awkward smile on his face.It looked as though he was trying to show his gratitude yet wasn’t quite used to that expression.“Than
Clemente was brought into the meeting room a couple of minutes later.He came in with a big grin on his face asking, “What are you still doing here Aurora? You should head back to the castle with the King. I want to stop by my brother’s grave and let him know about the truth that you found. Do you w
Clemente was on the phone with the prison.Seconds later, he covered the speaker with one hand and turned back to Aurora.“The owner said that he could remember,” he said with a tight furrow. “He simply said that it was a person wearing a baseball hat and a mask—”“Male or female?” Aurora asked urge
In a great rush of excitement, Aurora let out a small gasp.That ought to nail Agnes down!“You see it, right, Clemente?” she cried, shaking Clemente’s hand. “That is Agnes! She claimed to be at her parent’s house, but she first called the patrol center to divert you from home and then ambushed the
Clemente checked the time really quickly, “Fuck…the office is off duty now. There is no way we can get the paperwork for the visit done today.”Aurora raised an eyebrow, “You are the general. You don’t need any paperwork. Just wave your badge in the air and tell whoever dares to stop you to fuck off
The swear.She didn’t know the consequences that bore with it back then.Now she knew.Bound by that oath, she was physically forbidden to disclose that secret.It was her own doing.Desperate tears streamed down Aurora’s cheeks as she choked, “D—Damien…God…Please trust me…”“Trust you what?”He too
Aurora couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own eyes.…Damien?How did Damien get in here?! She thought that there was no way either of them could pass that misted forest!And why didn’t he bring more soldiers? He was here alone, how dangerous!And Westin…It seemed that Westin knew Damien w
Amidst the sea of lilies, fairy lights on the archways and trees twinkled like stars, casting a soft, warm glow.The gentle rustle of leaves, the occasional flutter of butterflies, and the distant murmur of a mountain stream added to the dreamy serenity.A path paved by pedals winded through the sea
Aurora stopped laughing.A nostalgic and slightly sad feeling surged up in her chest.Yeah…When was the last time that he made her laugh?“…Back in the Grace Ruin,” she said lowly eventually.“The Grace Ruin.” Westin nodded, “We were facing a lot of dangers and you didn’t even know who I am. But it
Elder Medline was the only person who remained sitting.She crossed her arms and looked at Aurora with a critical eye.“What is with the waistline?” she asked.“What about it?”“It doesn’t fit. And it makes your waist look like a bucket,” she said with a tone of asperity. “The tailors should close u
Aurora held her breath involuntarily.Westin didn’t mention that he had a godmother.And she didn’t remember seeing Elder Medline on any occasion before. It almost felt as though Elder Medline had been deliberately avoiding her.Elder Medline cast a warning look upon Aurora and turned to Annie, “Ris
Aurora sighed.…It was going to be a long day.They arrived at the fitting room and the maids opened the door for them.Everyone in the room stood up and curtseyed to them upon their arrival.“Queen Aurora,” they said in unison.Aurora’s eyes flickered to a girl in the back of the crowd.Annie.She
Love?Aurora let out a cold sneer internally.What Westin said about love was ridiculous.He didn’t love her. He was just possessive of her. And there was a difference between the two.Westin buried his head down to her neck and murmured hoarsely, “Please tell me Aurora…What should I do with my love
Aurora touched his hand, which was cold and clammy, and it sent a shiver down her body.“Get it together, Westin,” she whispered into his ears.He took a deep, shuddering breath and nodded, “Yeah I know…Thanks.”Aurora turned to look at Agnes and sneered, “Blame Westin? You have got to be fucking ki
