Author: Little Sponge
Lucy responded coldly, "I hope you'll keep your promise!" She ignored Tobias and turned around to leave.

Tobias watched her retreating figure. A hint of sorrow flashed in his eyes, unbeknownst to himself.

On the other hand, Angela found Solomon and Elio. "Congratulations, Sully and Eli. You two became the champion in our class."

Elio responded, "Thanks. It's all thanks to Dad… Uh… I mean, your dad's awesome."

Angela looked confused, "What do you mean by 'dad'?"

Elio said, "We won the competition today because your dad carried us."

Elio was envious of Angela because she could stay by Tobias' side every day. Although Tobias had a new family, a sister from another mother was still his younger sister nonetheless. He loved Angela a lot.

Angela said, "He isn't my…"

She was about to explain the truth, but Solomon interrupted her, sounding frustrated, "What are you still doing here, Angela? Are you going to stay here for lunch?"

Angela was stunned by Solomon's cold and aloof atti

    Angela looked at Tobias and ran over to him. "I want to stay here for lunch, Tobe. Can I?"Tobias ruffled her hair and said, "We're going to be a bother, Angela. Let's just go home."Angela said sweetly, "You say that, but Eli said he could make some delicious meals. He wanted to personally cook for me, too. I want to taste his cooking."Elio walked over and said, "She's right, Uncle Toddy. You should stay back for lunch, too."Tobias looked at Elio in surprise. He said. "Are you cooking by yourself? There are knives and other sharp cutlery in the kitchen. You're just a kid. It's dangerous for you to go into a kitchen."Elio responded confidently, "Calm down, Uncle Toddy. I made Sully delicious food every time Mommy went off to work. So, don't worry about it."Meanwhile, Solomon didn't rebuke it. After all, Elio was telling the truth. Solomon was exceptionally talented when it came to electronic devices and finance. On the other hand, Elio was particularly gifted when it came t

    Angela was so mad that she burst into tears. Solomon said, "Tsk. It's no joke, dealing with girls!"Tobias witnessed the moment and burst out laughing. Solomon carried a subtle vibe of a domineering CEO. It amused him so much that he couldn't hold back his laughter.Solomon looked at Tobias and blushed. "What are you laughing at?"Tobias said gently, "You're a boy, Sully. You need to learn how to be modest in front of girls. You just tried to reason with a girl. Are you trying to remain single when you're all grown up?"Solomon asked, "So, are you telling me I have to have a girlfriend who couldn't be reasoned with? Why don't I just enjoy my single and carefree life, then?"Tobias was stunned. "Uh…"Lucy held her forehead. "What did you just say to him, Mr. Toddy? You've just taught him the wrong thing."Tobias spread his arms and said helplessly, "I just told him the truth." Some chess pieces rolled by his feet, and he bent down to pick it up. At the same time, some chess pie

    Elio had saved Lucy from the situation by speaking. She ran away desperately and said, "Good work, Eli. I'll serve the dishes. I want you to call Sully and Angela down for the meal."Tobias watched Lucy's retreating figure. He didn't notice his gaze was filled with love. …There were more than ten dishes on the dining table including common dishes as well as dishes with a unique flavor. They all consisted of mainly Clusian dishes. They looked appetizing and smelled delicious. Looking at the dishes was enough to whet one's appetite.No one would've believed that a child cooked these. Tobias looked at the delicious dishes and asked in a surprised tone, "Did you actually make all of these by yourself, Eli?"Elio exclaimed proudly, "Why, of course. I'll bet you find it awesome. Hurry up and praise me." Tobias was amazed. He rubbed Elio's head before speaking gently and lovingly, "You're wonderful, Eli. Men who know how to cook will effortlessly land a girlfriend in the future."

    Lucy came to the dining hall and saw that Solomon, Elio, and Angela were already in their seats. Tobias was getting settled into his. Lucy yelped out of surprise, saying, "You should take this seat, Mr. Toddy." Tobias was stunned a little before he went over to the chair she pointed to and took his seat. She proceeded to sit across the table from him, with Solomon and Elio on her side. Angela sat next to Tobias. Lucy said, "Make yourselves at home. Eat anything you like."Angela sniffed the sweet aroma of the dishes and said eagerly, "Don't mind if I do, Aunt Greta." She helped herself with one of the dishes and savored its taste. "Mmm… The dishes you made are so delicious, Eli. Not even the royal chefs' cooking comes close."Elio lifted his chin proudly and said, "That goes without saying."Lucy looked at Tobias and found that he was looking at the twins with nothing but love. He hadn't touched his knife and fork. So, she asked in a confused tone, "Why aren't you eating, Mr

    Lucy looked at the countless needle marks on Tobias' arm, and she actually felt particularly disheartened and heartbroken. However, why would she have these feelings for Tobias? They had just met each other twice, but she was actually drawn to him each time he showed up and approached her.Lucy suddenly had a crazy thought. Was it possible that she fell in love with Tobias?Her eyes widened in disbelief. At the same time, Tobias' phone rang. He put down the syringe and answered the call, "Hello.""The employees from Clusia are almost touching down at the airport, Prince Toddy. We have to welcome them in person to show that we are sincere in the international collaboration. Also, they are arriving in an hour. Where are you now, Prince Toddy?"Tobias responded, "Got it. Head to the airport, guys. I'll be there in half an hour."Lucy said, "Do you have some matters you need to attend to?"Tobias nodded. "Yeah." He walked over to the dining hall as he spoke.He saw Angela tucking

    It was also coincidental that the news was being broadcast when Solomon, Elio, and Lucy turned on the television."Hi, everyone. The royalty has released a bounty notice. Prince Toddy has anorexia and hasn't been eating for a long time. It doesn't matter what kind of chef you are, as long as you can cook some dishes that won't make His Highness throw up."This is your chance to become a royal chef with a million-dollar income annually. Please contact this number if you want to register for…""Prince Toddy?" Elio stared at the television screen and asked in a confused tone, "How is it that he shares the same name with Uncle Toddy? Is it a coincidence?"Solomon chimed in, "What's weird is that the prince had anorexia as well. What are the odds?" Lucy also walked over and just happened to see the news. Angela asked, "Don't you all know that my brother is King Samson's only son—Toddy? And I'm Princess Angela."Solomon and Elio's jaw dropped, and the disbelief on their faces was un

    Finn continued to sob. Not only did he not get away from Tobias, but he held the latter and cried even louder. "That's heartless of you, Mr. Ripley. I've worked for you for more than ten years. Now that we've been apart for six years, you don't even miss me. What's worse, you're actually chasing me away!"Tobias felt an intense headache while Finn cried so much that snots trickled out of his nose. When Finn rubbed his nose against Tobias' expensive suit, he was more livid as he was a neat freak.Tobias grumbled, "This is irritating. Get him away from me now."Then, everyone came to their senses and pulled Finn away. When Finn sprinted at Tobias and hugged him, the royal guards around him were ready to react and hack Finn down right there and then. Fortunately, Tobias immediately waved and stopped them. Otherwise, Finn wouldn't have had the chance to be doing these things here. Instead, he would've been long dead.Finn wasn't aware of the political figures standing around Tobias

    Avery coughed tacitly and nudged him with his elbow. Finn wanted to ask whether Tobias had located Lucy but remembered that she was presumed dead in Clusia. Back then, Lucy created many Zenith Elixirs and saved many families. She had become the idol of the town. Lucy’s death had brought tremendous pain to everyone. Everyone presented flowers at the location where Lucy lost her life. Tobias had also entered a new routine in life. If they brought up her name, it would indeed bother him. Finn swallowed the words he had at the tip of his tongue. He laughed awkwardly and explained, “Nothing. Are you adjusting to life in Faldoria?”Tobias, oblivious to Finn’s reservations, answered, “Yeah, it’s alright.”Embarrassment flickered across Finn’s face. He looked at Avery, and they silently sighed in relief. Tobias glanced at him and thought they were acting strange. However, he didn’t think much about it. When the car arrived at the castle gate, Finn and Avery were completely take

    Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

    It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

    Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia

    Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

    Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

    Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

    Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

    At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

    "Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
