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
The ring in her hand was the same as the one on her finger, only different in size. They were a pair. If the accident had not happened...Aurelia clenched the two rings, thinking of how Neil had desperately put the ring on her finger after being shot, and a painful spasm gripped her chest."He..." She opened her mouth, wanting to ask questions, but she felt choked and could not get a single word out.Carter felt sorry for her and could only vaguely offer, "The bullet hit his shoulder, not a vital organ, and he received a blood transfusion. He'll wake up soon.""Really?""Yes, really.""How long will it take?""Well…" Carter hesitated. His cousin had not told him how long he needed! It was ridiculous!Carter had been an honest person with excellent academic and moral standards all his life, and now, for the first time, he was lying—he was lying to a member of the royal family!He rubbed his nose and scratched his head, his ears turning red. Finally, he forced a smile and answer
Martin and Alexander came to the detention center and saw Victoria's crazed state through the metal grill and tempered glass window.Alexander frowned and asked the prison guard softly, "Has a doctor looked at her?""Yes," replied the guard. "We consulted three authoritative experts in psychiatry, and the diagnosis was that Princess Victoria suffers from mental illness and exhibits severe symptoms of bipolar disorder, and…""And what?"The guard licked his lips. "And through professional diagnosis, the princess has an antisocial personality disorder."Alexander was stunned and looked at Martin beside him, who was equally in disbelief."The cause of this personality disorder can be either innate or developed," explained the prison guard. "So, the best course of action now is to isolate her from society to prevent her from causing further harm."After the shock, Martin sighed deeply. His aged eyes were angry, confused, regretful, and helpless. He could not understand it. A persona
Not now anymore.Someone wanted his life, so Alexander would ask for the same thing from that person!Alexander took a deep breath and chuckled bitterly, wondering if he had turned into a bad guy. It was just that if kindness lost its sharp glimmer, it would harm not just oneself but also others."Y-Your Majesty!" The prison guard widened his eyes when he saw Alexander and fumbled to bow.Alexander stopped him and asked softly, "Does she have to see a doctor and take medication to be in here?""Well…" The prison guard blinked. "King Martin didn't give any instructions for it, so there hasn't been a doctor or medication for her."Do you want me to arrange for it, Your Majesty?"The prison guard wanted to seize the chance to show off himself, but Alexander put up a hand unexpectedly and said in a low voice, "Since my uncle didn't find her a doctor, let it be. I don't want additional issues.""But…" The prison guard was puzzled. Should they just let his biological sister continue
