“Ah, not all the children here are homeless. Some of them are local kids who play here regularly,” said Bill.
Harriet still couldn't calm the discomfort in her heart despite hearing that.
Bill and Ben cheerfully showed them so much about the house they live in, which was quite spacious and had been repaired here and there. They also showed where the children play and where they sleep.
These children looked cheerful, and all played happily. Their food supply was ample, and everything looked absolutely fine.
"Okay, we get it," said Harriet.
The two young men turned to her. For some reason, they looked surprised at Harriet who smiled warmly at them.
“Ah, would you two want to join us for lunch?” they offered.
Harriet looked at the two and shook her head. "No. We have to go back home. There are things we have to prepar
Ezekiel groaned softly feeling the pressure on his head. He massaged his forehead a little roughly in frustration.“Your Highness, you must…” Sir Marcus paused when he saw Ezekiel raise his hand."I'm fine," Ezekiel said flatly.“But you haven't slept for three days…” his Aide, Sir Marcus looked so worried to see him.But Ezekiel felt work was better than sleep. If he slept–no. Closing his eyes was enough to make him see the shadow of that day. Harriet's pale face called out to her husband and her frail back at the edge of the flower field.That's when they heard a sound from outside the door—like the sound of rapid footsteps.DRAP DRAP DRAPCRASH!His office door opened, and Ezekiel saw a beautiful woman in a white dress appear before him.“
Crown Prince Ezekiel Euclase's and Ezra Beryl's wedding invitations were spread across the continent. Everyone received the invitation, even the Dukes and some important people from outside the continent.When Duke Diamond got the invitation, he simply threw it on the coffee table and didn't touch it for three days. He was busy with something else.Duke Ethan Diamond had just found his little sister who went missing fifteen years ago, Celine Diamond.As Ethan walked toward the greenhouse of his castle, his chest felt relieved and the world felt like it was giving him a chance to be happy again. Because the only family he had now was back."Celine!"Ethan called out to a young woman who was crouching caring for flowers in the greenhouse. A young woman with long white hair that seemed to emit her own light in the bright sunlight.And the young woman turned arou
Penelope laughed at the latest gossip she got from the palace. “You said Miss Ezra Beryl ran into the Crown Prince's office in her wedding dress? Hahahaha! She is a really interesting woman!”Of course, nothing could get past her eyes and ears, especially since Ezra was now in the middle of a vortex of gossip. Moreover, Penelope was very happy to hear and spread gossip about Ezra.She still remembered when she had just met Ezra a few months ago, the woman saw her angry because someone was spreading gossip about Harriet. After that, Ezra started to make some scandals as the future Empress.And when Penelope asked why Ezra was acting so conspicuous, the young woman replied, “Aren't you unhappy about hearing bad rumours about your friend, Marchioness Goldlane? I'm making a new rumour so they have other things to talk about."Penelope didn't think she would find another woman as impress
"I'm just homesick."Ezekiel stopped as a result, but his brows furrowed in disbelief. She cried because she missed home?Wait a moment…The man began to notice something strange. He turned to the woman and looked at her deeply. When he thought back… none of Ezra's family had tried to contact her or visit her in the palace.But wasn't this girl the youngest daughter of the Beryl family, as well as a Saintess?Shouldn't she be the pride of the family?As soon as he thought about it like that, other oddities emerged. If she was such an important person in her family, there was no way the Beryl Family would allow her to be adopted by the Emperor, right? Then…“We can visit your household after the wedding. Or… we can take the time to visit before the wedding,” said Ezekiel."Are yo
“Mmmmmmm… I… aahhh… It's so beautiful…” Ezra clenched her fists with enthusiasm and joy at seeing her figure in the mirror. The white dress that was so luxurious and beautiful fit her body perfectly. Her lips curled up sweetly, and she turned around.Ezekiel was sitting on the sofa behind her, staring at her while massaging his temples.When Ezra turned to him, her long hair tied in a ponytail parted forward.She put her hands on her hips. “You have something to say, Your Highness?”Ezra's question made Ezekiel furrow his brows. The woman said she wanted to meet him in her room, but when he entered, the boutique staff had already filled the woman's room. Apparently, the fitting of Ezra's wedding dress had been completed."The dress looks beautiful," said Ezekiel flatly, giving up.Instantly, a row of white t
Penelope walked down the long hallway of Duke Diamond's capital residence. Her heart was pounding–she thought she had to go East to visit Celine, but she was glad that her best friend had already arrived in the capital.She walked over to Celine's room door and hoped to see her right away, like when they were kids.But…"What do you mean she doesn't want to see me?" asked Penelope in surprise when she heard the words of a maid who barred her from entering Celine's room. “I am Celine's best friend!”“Looks like you're the only one who thinks that friendship exists. Young Lady doesn't want to see anyone."Penelope furrowed her brows in anger.“I don't want a maid like you to say anything on Celine's behalf. If she really doesn't want friendship with me, then I want to hear it from her own mouth! Get out of the way!”
A damp wind blows. The autumn sun was shining faintly covered by thin clouds in the sky. Ezra was sitting smoking in the front row of the church pews, looking at the statue of Andrius that stood in the middle.Her black soulless eyes looked dim and cold. Her memories revolved around memories of a distant past, but they could not be forgotten.FUUUUUU…She exhaled the smoke slowly.“This time… everything is different, huh?” Ezra muttered quietly. “Everything was because of the women named Cecilia Morganite and Harriet Goldlane…”Ezra took another puff of her cigarette.“And suddenly that woman appeared after 15 years of disappearance, right after Cecilia Morganite's death. Heh," Ezra snorted in disgust.The woman stood up, walked over to the statue of God and pressed the butt of her still-
Gasp!Wow…They look so good together…!The guests gasped at the appearance of the party host, Ezra Beryl and her fiancé, the Crown Prince, appearing hand in hand.Both wore matching clothes, with azure accents that were so soft it was almost like the dawn itself. The two's eyes were both black and their hair colour looked similar, making them look more like siblings than fiancés.No.People said when two people were a match made in heaven, they would have a similar appearance. That's what Ezekiel and Ezra looked like now.As the two of them spoke their opening words and invited the audience to start enjoying the party, suddenly a servant announced the arrival of important guests.The pair of guests that everyone had been waiting for, the stars of the month's last and most shocking news&hel
