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
However, a disagreeing voice appeared out of nowhere. “But Mr. Knowles has disappeared in Haniston. Isn’t this a little too coincidental? Rumors have it that Ms. Livingston has always wanted Mr. Knowles to marry you, so I wonder if the Livingstons know about this matter?”That implied that because Nollace had refused to marry her, it was very likely that the Livingstons had detained him after arriving in Haniston.Zenovia’s expression dimmed, and a hint of gloom flashed across her eyes as she looked at the female reporter who had just spoken. “What are you talking about?”The female reporter sounded very firm. “We only aim to get to the bottom of this issue.”“So are you saying that you’re suspecting the Livingstons?” Zenovia put on a smile, but there was not even a trace of hilarity in her eyes. “The Livingstons would never do such a thing. I can guarantee that in the name of the king’s god-granddaughter.”Zenovia asked her secretary to send those reporters away and walked into t
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
