Chapter 136

Torin stood by the railing, gazing into the twinkling lights of the city.

A breeze brushed against his handsome and gentle face, giving him an aura of sorrow.

Lyra involuntarily walked up to him.

Torin reached out and gently took her hand, remaining silent for a long time before deciding to tell her a story.

"Lyra, did you know? I have a younger brother," he said softly.

"Every year on this day is the most painful for me because it's the anniversary of my brother's death."

Lyra looked at him in disbelief.

With a sorrowful expression on his face, Torin suppressed his voice, as if afraid that the sorrow brewing inside him might overflow.

Torin's father, the current monarch of S country, married Victoria Reynolds, a woman who could help him consolidate his power.

They had a pair of twins, Torin and Ethan Graves.

Victoria Reynolds, a ruthless woman, abandoned her children as soon as they were born because she knew that having these two children secured her position and status.
