Chapter 906

Author: Breaking Wave
Carmella's lips trembled slightly. She could not say anything to meet Martin's gaze, feeling guilty.

"It's... nothing." Carmella forced a chortle. "Your Majesty, the trial's been going on for too long. You must be tired. Let me help you get back to rest first..."

"I want to hear the truth!" Martin roared, "Who were you looking for?"

Carmella froze and turned her gaze to Joy.

"What's going on here?" She gritted each word. "Joy, what are you trying to do?"

Joy replied indifferently, "Your Majesty, I could only find these two people based on the clues you gave me."

"You..."

A strange smile crossed Joy's lips. "Your Majesty, you told me that one of them is a drug addict and the other's involved in prostitution. The ones I found fit the description you gave me perfectly!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Carmella glared at her furiously. "I gave you other information too!"

"You personally handed the little princess to people like these back then, didn't you?"

"Joy!" Carmella's heart ra

    "Go look for these two people with Suzanne and bring them back to Southeast Aciatic... Then make them memorize this testimonial."When the time comes, Rowan Irwin will be charged with conspiring with Aurelia's parents to murder a member of the royal family, and they'll all be sentenced to prison!""Your Majesty, can we really use these two people?""Hmph! The man's an addict, give him some Fentanyl… As for the woman, give her some money first. As long as she sees the money, she'll do whatever we say!"...There was a commotion in the courtroom.Carmella's eyes went wide open, and her face was completely drained of color as if she had seen a ghost."Fentanyl?" Some foreign journalists began to inquire in a low voice, "What's that?""That's a kind of drug!" Every word Rowan uttered was forceful. "Fentanyl is a synthetic drug that's similar to the opium poppy but much, much more potent. This drug is highly toxic and can be addictive. An overdose can happen easily within a short ti

    Carmella had a thin layer of sweat on the tip of her nose. She leaned on the railing of the gallery, feeling weak and struggling to keep herself from collapsing. She lifted her hand and tried to adjust the crooked crown on her head but accidentally caught her hair and knocked her crown off. A large gemstone fell out with a clatter."Carmella..." Martin looked at her coldly. "Why did you do this?""Your Majesty, I...""Why did you do it?!" Martin lost his patience and grabbed her throat!Carmella widened her eyes. The fear of death made her stiff, and even her breathing stopped.Alexander stopped Martin and advised him in a low voice, "Uncle, this is a court. You must not act impulsively!"Martin slowly let go, but his teeth kept chattering, and his face was contorted with anger.Rowan said calmly, "Your Majesty, there may only be one reason why the queen did this..."As he spoke, he took out a DNA test report. "Your Majesty, are you afraid of this?"Carmella looked up, her exp

    The moonlight was like frost as it enveloped the majestic imperial palace in a layer of frigidity. The dew that fell on the steps gave off a touch of chill.Carmella stood in the center of the hall with her eyes cast down. Her expressionless face was stiff with a determined indifference.It was all over, and talking about it was futile.The only thing she cared about was Martin. If Martin did not trust her, was repulsed by her, and loathed her, then her world would lose all its radiance.Carmella spoke softly after a long silence. "Your Majesty, are you hungry?"I remember you used to like the raspberry cake I make. Shall I make some for you now?""You don't have to bother." Martin's voice was hoarse as he slowly turned around. "You probably don't know that I don't like that kind of overly sweet stuff... It's you who always thought you knew best!"Carmella's eyes dimmed, and she clenched her hands tightly.Martin looked at her, his commanding expression jolting her."You alway

    Martin's eyes flickered, but he did not respond after a long time.The moment Carmella fell to the floor, his heart was momentarily gripped. It felt like a ripple, though, spreading out in circles and leaving no trace afterward.In spite of it, they were husband and wife. He was not a heartless beast without feelings.Carmella's pitiful state brought back flashes of the good times she had had with him in his mind."Get a doctor to treat the queen's wound first."Noah was surprised but complied with a nod nonetheless.Carmella was soon treated, and the bleeding from her head stopped. She was then taken back to her palace for rest, but it was heavily guarded, and she could not move around freely anymore.Noah looked at Martin. The old king looked tired. His eyes lacked luster and brimmed with endless self-blame and despair instead.Noah bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, once Her Majesty's health improves, officials from the judiciary department will come to take her away. There are

    It was late at night when all was quiet.Someone appeared in the west palace.Martin did not let anyone accompany him as he walked slowly into the palace alone. He came to Helene's bedside and touched her dry chestnut-colored hair. Aurelia also had hair of the same color.He took a deep breath, feeling the urge to cry rising in his throat. Time really flew by. The siblings who used to pick seashells by the beach were now both in middle age. Everything had changed, yet everything remained the same.Helene was sleeping soundly, holding onto the small pillow even in her dreams. Martin tried to move it, but it was held too tightly, and he could not take it away. He smiled gently, tears shining in his eyes."I know you all think I should give the throne to Aurelia, don't you?"The light in Martin's eyes gradually returned. There were now hints of sincerity and nonchalance. He spoke to himself at Helene's bedside."I really didn't expect Aurelia to be your daughter and my niece."My

    Zephyr had a momentary look of surprise on his face.Alexander smiled calmly and softly said, "Actually... you should've already known, right? Mrs. Hamerton's so smart she must have told you about it."Zephyr." Alexander looked at him seriously. "What I said today stops here. I won't bring it up again in the future."When I ascend the throne and we meet again, I'll be the king, and you'll be my subject. Everything between us... will follow the rules!"Alexander smiled and wanted to shake hands with Zephyr, but the latter hesitated and did not shake it. Alexander's hand remained hovering in the air, which was slightly awkward, but it was within his expectations."It's okay." He put his hand down. "I've said everything I wanted to say. There are no regrets now. I'm really happy to see that you're living so well. Treasure your wife. She's a very good woman.""I know," Zephyr replied without much emotion. "As for your son, his status in Southeast Aciatic will also be noble in the f

    Alexander's mind turned blank, and his heart pounded. By the time he could react, Zephyr was smiling at him warmly.The light hug just now represented their friendship, but to Alexander, it was a treasure he would keep in the bottom of his heart forever.After a momentary stupor, Alexander beamed happily. His steps were lighter as well. He made his way out before turning back to wave at Zephyr again until he completely faded into the dark night.Zephyr took his time standing in the front yard.The soft night breeze blew. He took a deep breath and hurried his way back inside. He could not wait to hug his wife and sniff her out.A shadow flashed in the trees not too far away as a telephoto lens retracted slowly.…When Zephyr stepped inside, instead of finding Cordelia, he was greeted with an aroma from the kitchen. He smiled and strode in, hugging the busy woman from the back."Yikes!" Cordelia was frightened and swatted the hands on her hips right away."Are you a cat? How did

    Cordelia stretched her shoulders and neck. Recently, Zuko had gained a lot of weight and turned into a little chubby ball. Plus, the little baby who had just learned to walk did not seem to like walking anymore and kept asking to be carried by his mother.Every day, Cordelia carried Zuko, who felt as heavy as two bags of flour in her arms, so much so that she had muscle inflammation in her shoulders.Zephyr quickly dragged her to sit comfortably on the couch and massaged her shoulders and neck.Cordelia was not done with what she was saying, though, and continued with the previous topic. "Why don't I dislike Alexander? Because he's really nice."The others, like Nelly and Ava, approached you with ulterior motives, but Alexander's sincere to you." She looked up at him and smiled playfully. "Honey, your wife can always tell who's sincere no matter how silly she is.""Oh?" Zephyr smiled and asked deliberately, "How can you tell?""Alexander's sincere to you like how I am to you!" Co

    "Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

    With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

    "You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

    "No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

    "Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

    There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

    "No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

    Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

    Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
