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
Victoria arrived at the main palace and could not help but shiver when she locked eyes with Martin."Uncle…"Martin looked sullen as if he had lost all hope in her.Victoria looked around—the guards seemed to be General Harris' men. It was easy for one to figure out why Martin had summoned the team to the palace at such a time.She bit her lip and forced a smile. "I wonder what it is that you summoned me here?"Martin took a deep breath to suppress his rage and waved to get the guards to leave.Soon, they were the only people left in the main palace. In reality, Martin still cared about her dignity. After all, he was the one who had brought her up."We're the only ones left." His voice was deep as he glanced at Victoria with sharp eyes. "Tell me the truth!"Victoria pouted. "I don't know what you mean, uncle.""You're still denying it!?" he barked. "Was it you who posted those photos? Did you buy those spam accounts? You hurt Alexander, making him go through this crisis. What
Victoria was stunned. Subsequently, a few tall guards came forward to hold her arms, dragging her away.Martin prohibited her from leaving her palace, so she could not get out within a short period.She screamed with all her might, her frantic cries echoing through the elegant corridor. Martin, his emotions in turmoil, turned around at the sound. It took a few deep breaths for him to finally regain his composure.Alexander heard the commotion emanating from the main palace and hurriedly made his way there. As he arrived, his eyes fell upon the guards forcefully escorting Victoria out.The siblings crossed paths, and a fierce glare from Victoria met Alexander's gaze. In that instant, a chilling sensation began to creep over him.…Alexander squatted before Martin when he walked into the main palace."You're here…" Martin forced a smile.Alexander had been treating him like a tree, thinking that he was the refuge for all disasters and that he was everlasting. However, he suddenly
Alexander glared at Neil speechlessly.Neil was still indulging, being stupefied. He conveniently played with the ring on his finger. He only came to my senses a long time later when Alexander seemed to have spoken to him."Hey, what did you say?""Nothing." Alexander squeezed a smile, "I was just thinking if I should just remove the hereditary knighthood in the future."Neil was confused. "Why?""If everything goes as planned, you'll inherit General Harris' knighthood.""That's right." He nodded. "So what?"Alexander smirked. "I was just thinking that the hereditary knighthood system doesn't make sense. I can't be giving it to a fool, right?"Neil widened his eyes and attempted to hit him."Hey!"Alexander dodged him when Neil swung his fist, smiled, and said, "I spent so much effort putting on a show for you… And this is how you're treating me!""What show?"Alexander clapped, and someone brought a tray. A pair of diamond rings shone brightly under the light."Although I
Zuko's chubby hands were strong. After hitting the 'tambourine', he held his own cheeks and giggled."Zuko!" Zephyr pulled his chubby hand and pretended to hit it. "How dare you hit your father, you brat. Let me punish you!""Mama!"The boy who was wronged turned around to hold Cordelia's neck.However, she did not spoil him like she usually did. Instead, she softly placed him on the ground, allowing him to cry, and insisted not to carry him. Later on, she squatted down with Zephyr.She stopped smiling and said, looking at him seriously, "Which hand did you hit Daddy with? Show me!"Zuko widened his eyes at first before frowning. He was about to cry again, but Cordelia stared fiercely at him."It's wrong for you to hit someone! He's your father. How dare you hit him?""Wah…""Which hand did you hit Daddy with? Show me!"Zuko realized what was happening now. He found out he had no backing this time. He understood he might have made a mistake this time, so he extended his chubb
“I…” Cordelia frowned and said hesitantly, “I think I saw someone passing here just now!”Zephyr looked around in alertness but did not see anything suspicious.The ecological environment inside the palace was decent, as the royal family had never set restrictions on small animals. There were often cats sneaking in from outside for food or squirrels scurrying on the trees.Zephyr gave it a thought and said in a low voice, “Whether it’s a trick of the eyes or not, we need to let Alexander know and let him keep his guard up."“Mm, you’re right,” Cordelia agreed. “It’s always better to be more careful.”The husband and wife hastened their steps, but by the time they came to the center of the garden, everyone was set in place for the photo.Martin sat in the center, with Aurelia and Alexander on either side of him. The young cousins wore crowns and were formally dressed. In addition to their outstanding appearances, one could not help thinking that this was probably what the fairytal
Neil was sent into the VIP ward after he came out of the operation theater. There was a large window in the ward, and Aurelia sat outside of it, looking at Neil lying quietly in bed through it. A type of pain that no one knew of was hidden in her faint expression.It was now that she understood that one was unable to react under great pain—unable to cry, laugh, speak, or move. She could only sit here stiffly like a log and watch him, afraid to miss a second or minute.The scene before Neil passed out kept replaying in her mind.…He was covered in blood and struggled with all his might to hold her hand before he pulled out a diamond ring with much difficulty to slide it down her finger."I-I propose…" Neil had blood in his mouth too, and he was barely audible. "Aurelia, don't be scared… I won't die. I'm going to marry you…"He was barely coherent, and Aurelia's heart felt like it was sliced.…Aurelia looked down at her hands. The bloodstains had dried to a dark red, and it was
