I took a deep breath and calmed down. Standing up, I sat beside him and held his hand to take his attention. I looked deep into his eyes and said, “It’s not your fault, okay? No matter what happens, we’re a family. We’ll face it all together.”The bond and pull between fated mates were far too stron

Gritting my teeth together, I ordered, “Follow up on this matter.”When I didn’t hear anything from her, I looked up and stared at her unresponsive facial appearance.“What? Say it!” I ordered, rage radiating in my every tone and action.She bowed her head and said with difficulty, “I’m sorry, Princ
Della’s POVI kept my face void of emotions as I crossed my legs and leaned my elbow on my knees, waiting for her reply.Observing her facial expression that’s mixed with regret and anger, I couldn’t help but tilt my head in curiosity. Taking a deep breath, she started to speak as calmly as possible

Della’s POV“By the way, how was your talk with Mr. K last night? You look so exhausted this morning, and you had to go to the temple, so I wasn’t able to ask you,” Albert suddenly asked, making my heartbeat palpitate so much that it felt like it would jump out of my chest any minute now.The guilt
She opened and closed her lips quite a few times with hesitation before finally letting out a deep breath and softly narrating, “I… just heard things, that’s all. Stories, mostly, but ones that never align with what we published. I wanted you to know that people out there believe in you, Princess De
