Understanding Valerius's intention, the Minister of Finance, Robert Elan, stood up and spoke:"Your Majesty, Prince Ethan is a royal of Aria and should be given a prestigious position. I believe the role of Minister of Rites or Chancellor of the Imperial Academy would reflect our respect without interfering in state affairs."The Left Prime Minister, Dominic Everard, added:"Your Majesty, I think the position of Grand Tutor would be fitting for the noble status of Prince Ethan."Valerius contemplated before turning to Cassian Lightwood:"Cassian, what is your opinion?"Cassian Lightwood, renowned for his literary talent from a young age, had passed the imperial examination at twenty and was now around twenty-seven. Valerius trusted him greatly, having sent him on diplomatic missions and tasked him with significant responsibilities.Cassian replied gently:"Your Majesty, Prince Ethan is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, surpassing many in talent. I believe the role of

Reed, noticing Ethan's contemplative mood, approached him and said: "Your Highness, is there anything else you need? We are here to assist you with anything you require."Ethan turned to face Reed, his expression softening:"Thank you, Reed. You've both done a wonderful job. I appreciate your hard work."Leo, hearing this, also approached and said:"Your Highness, it is our honor to serve you. We are grateful to be here with you."Ethan smiled at his loyal attendants, feeling a sense of gratitude for their unwavering support. Despite the luxurious surroundings, it was their presence that brought him the most comfort.Shortly after, a group of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards assigned by Valerius Evander to serve Ethan Caelan arrived at the Jade Heart Palace. Leading the group was a middle-aged eunuch named Cyril Stone, a slender man with sharp and agile eyes. Accompanying Cyril were four young palace maids and a tall, stern-faced guard.Cyril Stone stepped forward, bowing deeply bef

Reed Jace prepared the high-quality tea recently bestowed upon them by the Emperor, brewing it in a jade teapot. The fragrant aroma of the tea filled the room as Reed poured a cup for Ethan Caelan and respectfully offered it:“Your Highness, please enjoy the tea.”Ethan lifted the teacup, took a sip, and smiled slightly, savoring the exquisite flavor of the finest tea from Helios. He said softly:“Sit down, both of you, and join me for tea.”Reed and Leo Grant hesitated before sitting down beside Ethan, each taking cautious sips of their tea while expressing their concerns about Ethan’s new position.Leo broke the silence:“Your Highness, the title of Grand Academician may sound prestigious, but it is merely a title without real power. You will spend your days in the Imperial Academy, engrossed in compiling books and teaching, as if you were trapped in a gilded cage.”Reed nodded in agreement, his deep voice tinged with concern:“Your Highness, as a prince, this position seems beneath

Feeling slightly embarrassed by the praise, Ethan tightened his grip on his silk fan and smiled:"Thank you for your kind words."After delivering Ethan to Theo Howard, Cassian bowed and took his leave:"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I shall return to the palace to report to His Majesty."Ethan nodded:"Thank you, Chief Scholar Theo Howard will take good care of me here. You may return."Cassian bowed to Ethan and then to Theo Howard before departing.Theo Howard then guided Ethan on a tour, introducing him to the various rooms, libraries, and every corner of the academy. Finally, they stopped in front of a large room surrounded by exquisite natural scenery. Outside, a clear stream flowed gently, and vibrant flowers bloomed, accompanied by the melodious chirping of birds."This room was designed specifically for His Majesty to rest whenever he visits. Now, by His decree, it is to be Your Highness's office."With that, Theo Howard gently opened the door, and they both entere

Lucian, still unwilling to relent, whispered close to Ethan’s ear with a mischievous smile:“You are very beautiful, Ethan. I like you a lot.”His breath brushed against Ethan’s ear, sending an involuntary shiver down Ethan's spine, a feeling of repulsion rising within him.After saying this, Lucian stood upright and leisurely moved to his seat on the left, right next to Ethan.Valerius Evander entered the hall, resplendent in a golden royal robe adorned with dragons and phoenixes, exuding the authority and majesty of a sovereign. His radiant presence and sharp eyes scanned the hall.Standing at the highest step, Valerius spoke with a commanding voice that echoed throughout the hall:“Today is a day of great celebration for the court. We gather to rejoice in Helios’s glorious victory over the foreign nations. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the civil and military officials. You have united as one, contributing to our grand cause. Tonight's banquet especially honors the four great g

When she met Ethan's gentle eyes, she quickly looked down, her face flushing with shyness. She was seated on his right, indicating her high status, likely a princess of Helios.She was Juliana Evander, the thirteenth princess and the youngest sister of Valerius Evander, who dearly cherished and pampered her. Throughout the banquet, she had frequently glanced at Ethan, her eyes brimming with admiration, although he had been too preoccupied to notice.As the banquet was drawing to a close, Dorian Ashcroft stepped forward and announced:"It is time for the lantern release ceremony, to pray for the peace and prosperity of Helios. His Majesty invites the court officials to join the ceremony at Moonwater Lake."As the officials and royal family members made their way to the large lotus lake, Ethan also stood up to follow, but was unexpectedly held back by a firm hand, followed by a deep voice: "Your Highness, let me guide you."Ethan Caelan turned around, his eyes brightening upon seeing Ha

In the dark, amidst the noisy chatter, no one noticed someone had fallen into the water. There were only a few people on the boat, aside from Valerius, Lucian, Dorian, and a guard rowing the boat. Everyone was stunned, and Valerius called out: “Ethan! Ethan!” The surface of the water was entirely still. In his previous life, Julian Pierce was an excellent swimmer, but in Ethan’s body, falling into the cold water, his entire body felt frozen. Despite trying to swim to the surface, his limbs were stiff, unable to move. As the boat drifted further away, Ethan lost consciousness, his body gradually sinking into the icy water.Each passing moment was heavy with tension. Valerius Evander anxiously watched the still surface of the lake, searching for any sign of Ethan Caelan emerging. Unable to wait any longer and convinced that something terrible had happened, Valerius prepared to jump into the lake but was stopped by Lucian Evander."Brother, be careful! This could be a trap. A prince wh

Ethan's exquisite beauty and noble aura blended seamlessly with the opulence of the attire, as if it were designed solely for him. Valerius's heart swelled with a strange pride, a sense of possession and admiration he had never felt before."It suits you perfectly, Ethan..." Valerius murmured, his voice a soft caress, almost as if he were speaking to himself.Dorian Ashcroft's voice echoed from outside the door. "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready.""Bring it in," Valerius responded, his eyes still fixed on Ethan, unable to tear himself away from the mesmerizing sight.A group of maidservants respectfully brought the medicine to the bedside. Valerius took the bowl, his voice turning icy: "Leave us."The maidservants bowed and quickly retreated. Valerius gently held the bowl, carefully spooning the liquid into Ethan's mouth. Each drop was an act of devotion, a silent plea for Ethan's recovery.However, the medicine kept spilling out, trickling down Ethan's pale lips. Valerius hurriedl
