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

Finn didn’t dare to lie to him, so he said, “Tobias. Mrs. Ripley is your wife, but she passed away from an accident. I was worried it would upset you, so I chose not to mention her.”“Passed away?”Tobias had no recollection of Lucy, but for some unknown reason, a prickling pain lingered in his heart when he heard that Lucy had passed away.Finn patted his shoulder and comforted, "Tobias, you have a new life now. Don't get bogged down by the past anymore. We can't bring back the dead. We can only move on with our lives."Tobias frowned and asked, "What is her name?"Finn said, "Lucy Everhart."When Tobias heard the name, a wave of emotions swirled in his heart. He thought he must have loved her a lot in the past. Otherwise, he couldn't explain his overwhelming emotions when he heard her name.Tobias asked, "Can I look at a photo of her?"Finn and Avery looked at each other, worry enveloping their faces.Tobias said, "Don't worry. I won't get upset looking at the photos."Finn

Tobias shuddered slightly. He never expected Pattinson Dairy to win after elimination and the voting process. His heart fluttered inexplicably at the thought of Greta. When he recalled the time they spent together, his eyes darkened, and his innermost desire cried out in longing. Tobias’ head throbbed. He frowned and looked down, suppressing the passion in his heart. Then, he asked, “What do you have to say?”Someone answered, “After reviewing the information about the farm's environment and the owner’s profile, Pattinson Dairy was our number-one choice. This company is run by a couple with two boys. Their boys grew up with the milk they produced. How strong they became is a solid testament to the quality of their milk.”Everyone agreed in unison. Tobias lowered his gaze. He tapped his fingertips in an erratic rhythm. When he heard about a couple with two boys, jealousy raged in his heart. His head rang violently at the thought of Noah holding Greta’s body down. He had an i

After lunch, Angela, Solomon, and Elio watched cartoons together at Pattinson Residence. After an afternoon nap, they played together. However, Solomon was much more aloof than Elio.While everyone was asleep, Elio went to sign up on Lucy's behalf.The person informed him, "Please be at the castle's kitchen tomorrow at 10:00 am.Elio said, "Sully, I secretly registered Mom's name, and they asked Mom to be there by 10:00 am. How can we persuade Mom to head to their kitchen for the competition?"Solomon scratched his chin and thought long and hard. "Lying won't work, so we must tell the truth."Elio said, "But Mom will never agree to go."Solomon nodded in agreement. His little brain spun with ideas as his eyes fell on Angela's toys. His lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Let's get her to persuade Mom."Confused, Angela pointed at her nose. "Me?"Solomon said, "Mom would never agree if Elio and I were to persuade her to attend the cooking competition, but you're different.

Flabbergasted, Lucy looked at Solomon. To her surprise, he looked at her with disappointment.Her heart couldn't help but ache.The children stood before her. Elio looked expectant, Solomon looked disappointed, and Angela cried devastatingly.Lucy's heart instantly softened. "Okay, I'll go."Solomon's lips curled into a smug smirk."Really?" Angela blinked her eyes and said, "You're not lying to me, right, Aunt Greta?"Lucy said, "No. I'll try tomorrow, but I can't guarantee that your brother won't throw up after having my food.""Okay, let's make a pinky promise. No one can back out of this."Lucy felt helpless. With an affectionate smile, she hooked her pinky finger with Angela's. Solomon said, "You're the best, Mom. Helping others joyfully sets a good example. You are my idol. I want to follow in your footsteps."Lucy was definitely devastated by his statement. When he saw that the plan worked, Solomon quickly said something else and looked at her admiringly."You're gre

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
