"Doctor William, h-how can you tell it's my brother?" Corine inquires the royal doctor in a flabbergasted manner as her hands' tremble on William's shoulder.
"I-I need to check on him. Let's go to his room." The doctor instructs as he tries to avoid the Princess's question because he knows that it will make her break down.
They headed to the Prince's room, running like in a marathon while Lady Genesis's mind couldn't sink to the fact that she spends her time with the Prince, but why?
On the contrary, Kedrick knew it all along but hid the truth. He couldn't believe that William could identify him in one touch. His imaginations wonder why he couldn't scent the powerful Alpha pheromones that the Prince possesses.
The royal doctor opens the Prince's room as th

Princess Corine exclaims."Your Highness, you need to recover before your father, the King will find out that you get yourself into trouble," William tells the Prince, which pisses Alphonso's mind."Did she know?" He soullessly asks because he feels like the Lady is upset with him for hiding his real status. The Prince wants to get up from his bed, but his body struggles as he doesn't have enough strength.Corine and Kedrick stare at each other when he mumbles words under his breath, making the two confused about what he means.Yet, William knows what the Prince's means, "yes, she knows it is you, Yo

The King calls out for Alphonso, and Alphonso turns his head to look at his father's pouting lips.He irritably shrugs, "Father, I am sorry. I declare this test on hold as one of the Ladies went missing."His Father, King Hedery, notices his son's frustration in his words.

Getting bolder, aren't we?" The Archduke comments as he lifts the teacup on his table and taking a sip on it.The Butler raises his right eyebrow as he makes a scrunching face, straight at Ridge's orbs.

She is my woman, my mate, and the one and only Archduchess of the Raphbarg Kingdom." Then he pulls Genesis next to him by grabbing her waist, placing her head on his wide, masculine chest.Genesis looks surprised at the Archduke's unshuttering speech, making her utterly speechless.Kedrick looks skeptical about his words, and Ridge can read it on his face, so the Archduke lets go of Genesis's body to kneel on one knee in front of the Knight.Ridge whispers in his right ear, "since I

Pinning her body down on the bed."H-Hey, what are you doing?" Stammers, Genesis, while blushing hard.She tries to move her hand to cover her face. Unfortunately, the man grabs it and letting it wrap around his warm neck."Hey!" Genesis tries to push him away, but Ridge grabs her right hand and places his lips on her palm."Don't push me too hard after I saved you on the brink of death," His storm-like eyes wish Genesis's mind to ease as it glows in seduction.
