There would always be dirt behind great power, and even in the past, it never ended well for the subjects who had more power than the kingDaisie crushed the paper, looking angry.At the White Ivy Palace’s meeting room…The ministers discussed what the media outlets reported in a serious manner because it was a huge issue.They had differing views because some thought it was a deliberate attempt at breaking the trade relationship between the two countries, while others thought that Zlokova was trying to get involved with their country.King William picked up his cup and took a sip of hot tea. The chatter continued until he slammed the cup down. There was immediate silence.King William crossed his fingers, placed them on the table, and said with a stoic expression, “I understand your worries, but you’re reaching at straws by thinking that people are trying to get involved in our politics based on this news report.”“Your Majesty, even though this can’t prove anything, we shoul
Diana asked, “What if something really has happened?”King William insisted, “Nothing would have happened.”After a moment of silence, Diana slowly stood up. “Father, what would you do if someone did something to Nollace?”William paused, then affirmed, “I won’t let them get away with it.”The corner of Diana’s lips curled. “I hope you will put the words into action.”She left the room, walked into the main hall, and bumped into Zenovia, who was smiling and looking to be in a good mood. “Mrs. Knowles, are you here to see His Majesty?”Diana looked at her with no expression. “I’ve underestimated you.”“Mrs. Knowles, everyone has something up their sleeves. I’m a victim here. The person who has been playing around is that Goldmann girl.”Zenovia stood in front of Diana and added, “Mrs. Knowles, I’m just looking out for you. If the Goldmanns disrespect the royals, they will disrespect the Knowles too. Even if you’re nice to Daisie, even if she marries Nollace, it may just be part
Freyja was curious. “But she’s your sister. Are you going to let the reporters do this to her?”Waylon let go of her with calm eyes and a smile. “Ms. Pruitt, don’t you think that what you said is a little ironic?”Freyja was startled. Waylon looked toward the crowd and said, “You think that my and Colton’s overprotection is too much for her, but now you want me to help her. She won’t be able to learn how to solve problems this way.”Freyja was surprised because she didn’t expect Waylon to remember what she had previously said, but more importantly, that he had listened. She parted her lips. “I meant only on certain aspects, like her own marriage and friends.”They shouldn’t interfere with those. Waylon tilted his head and looked at her. “Isn’t it the same?”Freyja was rendered speechless. At that moment, Daisie’s voice came from among the crowd. “If you think I’m guilty, I will work with the police to investigate and not let the rumors decide my innocence. As for the theft
Waylon nodded.Freyja got out of the car and entered the courtyard.He drove back to the Hilton Villas and stopped the car. He got out of the car, and then he saw Colton, who was standing under a tree in the courtyard.Colton took down his earphone and asked, “Waylon, do you have to stay so close to Freyja?”Waylon stopped in front of him, and a smile broke across his face. “She is Daisie’s friend. I don’t see anything wrong with me driving her home.”Colton crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned his face sideways. “She’s not her friend. People will change. Even if she’s her friend now, it doesn’t mean she will be in the future.”Upon hearing what he said, Waylon chuckled. “It seems like you have a lot of problems with her.”Colton was stunned, and his face sank. “That cocky woman... I thought only Daisie cared about her, but why must you... Anyway, I just hope you won't help her to gain any strange ideas.”“Alright,” Waylon replied flatly. He lowered his head to loo
Daisie replied in a low voice, “Don’t pay him any heed. There will always be a few days he will act like this in a month.”Colton stopped and turned around. “I’m not deaf, you know that, right?”Daisie shuddered and forced a smile on her face when she saw how dark the expression on Colton’s face was.“Daisie, go to your class first. You stay here. I have something to ask you.” Colton pointed at Freyja.Freyja was stunned.Daisie looked at them and asked, “What exactly do you want to ask Freyja?”Colton pushed her away and said, “Be a good girl and go back to your class.”She walked a few steps forward before turning her head around and said, “I warn you, Colton. Don’t you dare bully Freyja. If not, you’re not going home today!”Veins were bulging on Colton’s forehead, but he paid Daisie no mind.He led Freyja to the back of the building as there were fewer people over there. Freyja leaned against the wall, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and asked, “Is there anything I
King William calmed himself down and said, “Get me Ms. Livingston. Her family has a lot of clout in Haniston. I think things will be better with the Livingstons’ assistance.”Paul got someone to make contact with Zenovia. When Zenovia came to the palace, she was fretful. She had seen the news of Nollace going missing as well.However, she couldn't tell if Nollace had gone missing after meeting her uncle or before. If he went missing after meeting her uncle, it would get the Livingstons into unnecessary trouble.She had already reminded her uncle many times, so she was pretty certain that her uncle wouldn't do it since it wouldn't give the Livingstons any benefits if he did that.Nollace’s disappearance was too coincidental.It was so coincidental that she began to wonder whether this was all set up by Nollace himself. She knocked on the door and went into the study room after getting permission. “Your Majesty, I heard that you’re looking for me.”King William lifted his head an
The driver asked, “Where to go, sir?”Nollace replied, “Neste District.”The driver started the engine, and the car moved forward slowly.The streetlights from the side of the road threw the car into a limbo of light and dark. When they passed through a police car, Nollace raised his head and looked through the window.The driver was looking through the window as well. He said, “This is annoying. A visitor has gone missing like that without any sign. Nearly all of the police officers have been dispatched. I wonder what he has gotten himself into.”Nollace tapped his finger on his leg rhythmically. The earphones he was wearing were able to translate whatever the driver said perfectly. Besides, he had spent several days learning the language of this country, so he did not have any issues when it came to a normal conversation like this.“Visitor, huh?”The driver chuckled, “That’s what we heard from the rumors. We also heard that he’s the grandson of the king in Yaramoor. If he rea
Xavi took a deep breath and sat down. “What do you want, Young Mr. Knowles?”“What I want is simple,” Nollace said as he put down his cup. “I want your brother to stay in prison for the rest of his life, and I want you to take over the Livingstons.”Xavi didn’t say anything.Nollace rose to his feet slowly and continued. “I’ll give you time to consider it. Whether or not you want to continue to live under your brother’s shadow or take everything into your hands. This is your only chance. I believe you can do it.”…Soon, the cab stopped on Neste District. After paying the fare, Nollace got out of the car and pulled his phone out to receive the copy of the recording that Maggie had sent him.Meanwhile, at Xavi’s private mansion…He was sitting in his study room alone, massaging his temples. His secretary pushed the door open and entered the study room. “Sir, Mr. Lestrange is here.”Patterson Lestrange came into the room, and Xavi’s secretary left the study room while closing the
