Neil's eyes widened like saucers in that instant!"You…"He was the center of attention, adored by everyone, since he was a child. For the first time in his life, his head was hit!? Unacceptable!However, when he turned around and saw the girl giggling, his heart melted like cotton candy under the sun."I didn't realize your hand's so strong when you're so thin!" Neil smiled.Aurelia jutted her chin and threw him a triumphant look.Neil went closer step by step, his charismatic face devilish and playful. He forced Aurelia to a corner.Like the last time, he had a hand against the wall and bowed slightly. All that was reflected in his eyes was the girl.Aurelia's face heated up. The big hall was dead silent, and all she heard was her pounding heart."You… What are you doing?" She put up her princess status. "How dare you be rude to me!?"She had no idea that she was nothing more than a feisty kitten in front of him. There was no threat, and all he wanted to do was to pick her
Helene stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Neil. Then she quickly ran over to Aurelia in an attempt to keep the two of them apart with her frail body.Neil did not dare to act up in front of her and obediently stepped back, nearly covering his head with his hands."Bad man! Bad man!" Helene puffed out her cheeks. "It's the same bad man as last time, bullying my baby!"Neil could not explain himself. It seemed like all the "moms" he had just called were in vain!"Mom, it's not like that," Aurelia said awkwardly with a soft voice. "Uncle didn't bully me. He…"She suddenly remembered something and looked at Helene in surprise and joy. "Mom, you recognize him!?"Helene's mind was unclear, and she often did not recognize people, but she recognized Neil as the bad guy from 'last time'…Aurelia was so happy she almost shouted out loud."Mom!" She hugged Helene. "It looks like Mr. Irwin's medicine really works. You've improved a lot from before!""Mr. Irwin…" Helene became co
Neil composed himself and crouched down to lift her hat, revealing that it was actually Suzanne!"Your face..."Suzanne looked sad and frantic, quickly wrapping her veil around herself to cover the scars on her face.Neil bit his lips, already guessing what had happened."This isn't the place to talk." He helped her up. "Let's go somewhere quiet."Suzanne trembled all over as if she was afraid of the light. Her hat and veil covered her completely as she followed Neil timidly.The two of them arrived at a cafe outside. Neil asked for the shop to be cleared, and the owner served Suzanne a cup of milk tea.Suzanne instinctively flinched when the owner put the milk tea on the table. Neil's brows furrowed, thinking of the scars on her face."Mr. Harris…" Suzanne calmed down. "I was taken by… Princess Victoria."Neil's heart dropped.Actually, the Irwins had sent people to protect Suzanne and Joy after the court trial ended. Now that Carmella was sentenced, Joy could pull herself o
"Don't worry." Neil thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I'll get someone to send you home. Regarding your brother, the Irwins have gotten people to protect him. Victoria would not be so foolish to harm him in the hospital."Suzanne looked at him with appreciation and nodded.When they were about to leave, notification alerts popped up on their phones one after the other.It was a piece of news.[Exclusive breaking news! Prince Alexander has a thing with Mr. Z of Centrolis. Are they having an affair!?]Neil's hand trembled, and his phone almost fell onto the ground.Suzanne's face changed drastically—she was as pale as a piece of paper!"It wasn't me… It wasn't me! I came to you as soon as I escaped from the palace! I swear on my brother that I've never sent anything like this to the media!"Neil's face was grim. He forced himself to calm down.Within just a few minutes, the news spread like wildfire, rapidly gaining traction across numerous news websites and overwh
"Something like that!" Cordelia smiled and continued looking at the screen.The loyal, old butler entered and handed some files."Madam, sir, these are the data the PR team has gathered. These are the accounts that appeared the most in the comments."Neil went closer to take a look. "What's wrong with that?""These accounts appear frequently and comment on things that are harmful to Prince Alexander. They even encouraged the netizens to boycott him!"Not only that, but the PR team also discovered that someone seems to be controlling the comment sections. The team contacted the media platforms and discovered that many netizens can't share the comments they'd like to share."Zephyr nodded. "So, these are spam accounts, and someone controls them. Ha, they think they can stir a wave with a small trick like that?""My sister is simple-minded." Alexander forced a smile. "She used to follow Aunt Carmella, and my aunt would stand up for Victoria whenever something happened. Without my a
Neil had been in the entertainment industry for years. He knew very well that the tongue was not steel, yet it cut. He had seen many celebrities with bright futures fall due to some gossip.Those people were honest with their fans but in the end…"I know," Alexander said, turning his head to look at Neil. He appeared calm and fearless. "I'm not challenging the citizens' bottom line. I'm just speaking the truth to relieve the burden in my heart. It's like a ticking bomb, and I don't know when it will explode. Instead of waiting for someone else to detonate it, I'll do it myself!""Alexander!"Neil was worried about him. It would be Southeast Aciatic's loss if such an amazing person did not become the king."Don't worry, cousin." Cordelia chuckled and showed a couple of data. "Can't you see the problem from these? Victoria has lost her mind to be controlling the netizens' comments. The madder a person is, the easier for us to catch their weakness."We'll find out that Victoria is t
Martin looked into Alexander's eyes. He did not know what to say at the moment.Alexander's eyes sparkled with clarity as if a paradise dwelled within them. He was resolute in his belief that his judgment was correct. Martin was certain that choosing Alexander to rule the country was the wisest decision.However, he sighed helplessly. "To be honest, Alexander, I don't care about that."Alexander's eyes lit up."I'm old but not stubborn." Martin looked at him. "There are many kinds of human love. Is the one that caters to the world the only normal one?""Uncle…""You've never hurt anyone. Even though you like Zephyr, you didn't ruin his family. As long as one is kind and pure, is their sexual orientation important? I believe that you're a good kid, as well as a good future king. However, that's what I think. It doesn't mean that the citizens think the same. You get it?"Alexander's smile was adorned with a glimmer of light in his eyes.Alexander bowed respectfully, placing his r
The door opened, and Alexander walked in slowly. Everyone had their eyes on him, and the entire place fell into silence.Alexander walked onto the stage calmly with a light smile on his face.The reporters unleashed hard-hitting questions while the relentless stream of netizens' comments flashed on the big screen behind Alexander. The sheer magnitude of the terrible things being said became unbearable.Alexander merely smiled and looked at everyone calmly. Subsequently, he stood up and enunciated word by word in all seriousness."I know everyone cares a lot about this. I'll explain everything today." Alexander licked his lips and took a deep breath. "That's right. I'm homosexual."An uproar broke as soon as he said that. It was chaotic below the stage."I've actually been suppressing this for a long time." He chuckled. "I announced this today to give everyone, as well as myself, an explanation."I admit that I like men, but I don't think it's outrageous. Everyone is different wh
