A heavy voice rang out from behind the comms, muffled by the monotonous ticking of the hospital machines. "Keep watching. Make sure he's not aware of your presence. We need to know what the next step is."The man nodded, though no one was looking. His eyes followed Edward and Kyla as they moved further away, towards the hospital meeting room located at the end of the corridor. His face showed no emotion, but there was something mysterious behind his eyes."Understood, General. I will not lose them from my sight." His shadow again disappeared among the hospital's neon lights, which reflected coldly on the floor like a figure that could not be caught. He continued to observe from a distance, watching their every move carefully.Meanwhile, Kyla and Edward had arrived at the apartment. After the apartment door closed, the atmosphere was noticeably quieter. True to his promise, Edward went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner. His hands were skillfully preparing the dishes, although
Meanwhile, in Snowflake City, Edward continued his day, not knowing that the great enemy of his people, the Jupy nation, was already after him. His every move is complicated, not only by his strained relationship with Kyla but also by a threat from beyond the kingdom of Mars that may shake the world he has known for so long.The Jupy people, who have long held a grudge for their defeat five years ago, are now preparing for revenge. They deploy troops to scout Edward's every move, infiltrating the city to ensure that they take advantage of all opportunities. Little did they know, however, that their plans were already known.Tanyi, Edward's loyal subordinate who had been tasked with protecting the prince, had received information about the presence of Jupy's army, which was secretly lurking. As an astute and vigilant man, Tanyi immediately reported to Edward about the approaching threat without telling anyone except those who were absolutely necessary."General, we have caught wind of
At the Wijaya family residence, the atmosphere was already bustling with preparations for Ricky and Diandra's wedding. Magnificent decorations were arranged in every corner of the room, fresh flowers adorned the main hall, and crystal chandeliers shone brightly, creating a luxurious and festive atmosphere. From the outside, everything looked perfect, but not everyone inside had good intentions.Diandra sat on one of the large sofas in the living room with Ricky. Her face still showed bruises from her last encounter with Edward, but they shared a proud smile.“Ha! I can't wait to see Edward fall in this game,” Ricky said in a cocky tone while crossing his arms over his chest.“But... what if Richard really doesn't want to marry Kyla anymore?” asked Diandra, her tone slightly worried though she tried to hide it.“You said yourself that Richard doesn't want Kyla anymore. What will we do if that happens?”Ricky chuckled with a confident expression. “Take it easy, Diandra. I've already arra
Just as General Tang and General Seng of the Jupy Nation had planned.The night sky was dark, with the moon covered by grey clouds. The road to the Apartment was silent, accompanied only by the roar of Edward's quietly moving car. Inside the car, Edward checked his watch. "We should arrive on time," he said to his bodyguard in the front seat. "Yes, Prince Edward. This journey should be uneventful," replied the bodyguard, his eyes vigilantly monitoring the road. However, not long after, the sound of tires squealing broke the silence. From the opposite direction, three large vehicles sped up, blocking the road. From those cars, a group of people dressed all in black got out with sophisticated weapons in hand.Edward's bodyguards reacted immediately, drawing their pistols, but the surprise attack from the ambushers was too fast. "Duck down, Mr. Edward!" shouted one of the bodyguards, trying to protect his master. However, despite the resistance, the armed group moved with practice
Still on the same night, it was in the hall where Diandar and Ricky's wedding party was held. Ricky and Diandra's wedding took place with great fanfare, exuding luxury and warmth. The grand ballroom was adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers, fresh pastel-coloured flowers were arranged beautifully in every corner, and orchestral music created a romantic and elegant atmosphere. This gave the impression of a party that was not only luxurious but also full of love and happiness. The guests came from all walks of life, including important figures from the world of business and politics to some of the capital's celebrities who made the party shine. Guests wore their best outfits, mingling in the glittering party atmosphere. Media cameras were also busy capturing the special moments of the night. In one corner of the room, Elizabeth and Steve's family were proudly present. They seemed to exude an aura of happiness and respect for the host. Elizabeth wore an elegant navy blue gow
The previously boisterous atmosphere was suddenly quiet. The guests exchanged glances, some nervous, others curious.Ricky, who had heard that the Martian royal envoy had arrived, was even more proud.The guests began to whisper, talking about Ricky's good fortune in attracting the kingdom's attention to attend the wedding.All eyes were on the main door. Outside, a row of luxury cars pulled up neatly, exuding luxury.A uniformed driver got out and opened the door. From inside, authoritative figures stepped out with firm and confident steps, exuding an undeniable aura of majesty.From the center of the crowd, a tall man in a black suit stepped forward. His gaze was sharp and full of authority, and his steps were steady like a ruler reclaiming his throne.The man stopped mid-step, letting the silence hang like a heavyweight in the air.His gaze was piercing, staring right into the corner of the room where Kyla stood.When their gazes met, she sensed something more profound: the disappoi
"Prince Edward, the Queen misses you very much. Her health is also beginning to decline. It is time for you to return to the kingdom and become the successor to the throne of Mars.""I know, Uncle. But it's not time for me to go home yet. I have important things to accomplish here.""What if the King gets angry and insists on picking you up?" "I will return, but not now. Tell Queen Mother to take care of her health. When the time comes, I will definitely return and accept my destiny as the royal successor.""But, Prince...""Uncle, trust me. I promise to return soon. As for Father, I'll talk about it later when the time is right."The royal envoy nodded slowly, though he still had a worried look on his face. "Yes, Prince. I will convey your message. But please, if you get the chance, come home for a while to see the Queen Mother. She misses you very much."Edward smiled slightly. "I understand, Uncle. I will consider it. Now I must leave. My wife is waiting at home.""Yes, Prince. Be
The next day, Edward arrived at the courthouse. His arrival was greeted by Elizabeth and the rest of his family. Especially Great, Elisabeth's younger brother, who looked at him with a cynical gaze, the one who always made Edward look bad in the eyes of others."Look who's finally here!" Great exclaimed, his voice filled with mockery when Edward's figure finally appeared, striding alone towards them. "This loser is really slow." His tone emphasized his unconcealed hatred.Elizabeth said nothing, but her gaze spoke more than a thousand words. Her sharp eyes followed Edward's every step like a hawk stalking its prey. A heavy sigh escaped her chest, but she remained silent, holding back every word that swirled in her head. When Edward reached them, Elizabeth finally opened her voice, her voice cold and firm."You are truly shameless, Edward," she said matter-of-factly, her tone cutting through the silence like a sharp knife. "How could you show up after keeping us waiting for so long, a

Only a short time after Kya's parents' departure. Edward appeared with a glass of warm drink. His face looked tired, but his smile remained gentle. He was trying to calm Kyla down."Are you okay?" asked Edward, approaching her with cautious steps.Kyla, who had been pensive, was slightly startled by Edward's voice. She looked up, and her eyes softened upon seeing him before her. "Yes, I'm fine," she replied, though her tone sounded weak. "You're from..." Kyla's speech trailed off as she took a closer look at Edward's face. One cheek looked slightly red, and a faint bruise was beginning to appear. Kyla frowned, her heart instantly filled with worry. "Edward, your face... What happened? Are you hurt? Is it because of those kidnappers?"Edward was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath before answering in a flat tone, but his eyes avoided Kyla's gaze. "No..." he said softly. "It was your mother who hit me."Kyla was dumbfounded. "Mom?" she repeated, not believing what she had just
The sound of the slap echoed along the hallway, breaking the silence that had previously been filled only by footsteps. A few passers-by stopped their steps and turned their heads curiously. They immediately turned away when they saw Anna's cold face and Edward's shocked expression.Edward was rooted to the spot. The slap turned his face sideways, and his left hand slowly touched his cheek, which was starting to turn red. The slap was not only physically painful but also hit his pride hard.With eyes full of disbelief, Edward raised his gaze to see who dared to do such a thing."Mom?" he asked in a low voice, almost a whisper. "What did you do? Why did you slap me?"However, Anna, the woman standing in front of him with a face full of anger, did not show the slightest hint of remorse. Her eyes were blazing, and her voice sounded loud as she retorted."Mother? Don't ever call me mother, Edward, because I'm not your mother!" she exclaimed with great emotion.Edward was stunned. The wor
Meanwhile, Edward, who usually always exuded absolute calm, showed subtle changes on his face. His gaze narrowed, his jaw hardened, and the look in his eyes conveyed curiosity mixed with anger. He tried to make sure that the figure in front of him wasn't just a delusion or a mistake. However, there was no doubt-the man was real, standing there with a sly smile that deliberately provoked his emotions.“Ricky?” Kyla finally spoke, her tone trembling with confusion and disappointment. Her body felt stiff, like it was being stabbed by a harsh reality. The man who had just entered was Ricky, Ricky looked at the two of them, and his eyes immediately rounded as he saw Edward standing proudly, without a single injury.. In contrast, his men were scattered on the floor, looking battered with wounds on their faces. Ricky gritted his teeth, his expression turning hateful.“Edward... you?” muttered Ricky, both surprised and angry. He stepped forward, pointing at Edward with a vengeful gaze. “S
