Chapter 61

Chapter 61: The Royal Family ReunitedLucian stood in the doorway while his eyes are fixed on the young boy seated on the edge of the bed. Despite Liam's confusion of what was happening around him, the boy still seemed calm, his wide eyes . Lucian felt an inexplicable connection to the child, a strange sense of admiration that he couldn't quite place.The moment he saw Liam back at the village, he had been mesmerized by the boy's striking blue eyes, a vivid reminder of the first time he saw Isabel. Those eyes, so similar to hers, had caught him off guard. Yet, unlike Isabel's golden locks, Liam's hair was dark, likely inherited from his father. Yet again, the thought of Isabel having someone else's child angered him once more, but despite his fury, he couldn't bring himself to direct it at the boy.Suddenly, Liam stood up, bowing slightly as he greeted Lucian with an unexpected level of reverence. "Your Majesty," he said in a clear, steady voice.Lucian's eyes narrowed slightly, intri

Chapter 62: Divide and conquer"Mother!" Liam cried, reaching out for her. Lucian carefully set him down, and the boy who have missed his mother dearly immediately ran into Isabel's arms, clinging to her tightly.Isabel hugged him as her tears began streaming down her face. "Liam, my little baby," she whispered, holding him close. Lucian watched the reunion with an unfamiliar tightness in his chest. He had expected relief, perhaps even satisfaction, but instead, he felt an overwhelming sense of vulnerability."Liam, would you like something to eat or drink?" Lucian asked, attempting to coo the child that alarmed Isabel somehow.The boy looked up at his mother, then back at Lucian. "Your Majesty, I only want to stay with my mother," he said softly and politely.Lucian nodded, understanding the boy's need for his mother. "Very well," he said. "You can stay here with her." He glanced at Isabel. "If there's anything you need, just let the guards know."Isabel's expression hardened. "You'

Chapter 63: The Dead Boy's MotherLucian's voice echoed inside the room as he called out for his guards."Take this boy away!” he commanded out of anger as his men immediately made their way to take Liam out of the room."Don't hurt him! No! Liam!" Isabel cried out, trying to reach her son as he was being taken away. Liam cried out to his mother, his voice filled with fear and desperation."Mother! Please, help me!" Liam's small voice echoed in the room, his eyes wide with terror as the guards pulled him away."Take him to the dungeon with his father!" Lucian added, his voice cold and resolute.Isabel's heart shattered at those words. She fell to her knees, her hands reaching out in a desperate plea. “Please, no! Not Liam! He’s just a child! Don’t do this, Lucian, I beg you!”Lucian’s face remained impassive, though a flicker of something unreadable passed through his eyes. “You have defied me, Isabel. This is the consequence of your actions.”She crawled towards Lucian, tears streami

Chapter 64: Threat to the ThroneThe sun shone brightly over the courtyard as the sun rays touched on the lush green grass where Julian played. Victoria watched him from a shaded bench while her eyes followed his every move. Julian's laughter echoed through the courtyard as he chased a butterfly, his small feet pattering on the cobblestone path.Julian’s hair gleamed in the sunlight, its dark trands catching the light as he darted around, his arms outstretched in pursuit of the elusive butterfly. His laughter rang out with pure and unburdened sound that filled the courtyard with life. Victoria’s heart swelled with love as she watched him, her lips curving into a rare, genuine smile. She marveled at how much Julian had grown. Just a few years ago, he had been a helpless infant in her arms, and now he was a lively boy full of curiosity and energy. Her thoughts drifted to the times Lucian had looked at Julian, his gaze distant and cold. He stared at their son as if he knew something was

Chapter 65: The unloved sonJulian stood on the balcony of his room, peering down at the serene pond below. The stillness of the water was broken only by the occasional ripple caused by fish swimming just beneath the surface. Bored and restless, Julian picked up a handful of small rocks by the neaby plant pot and began tossing them into the pond, watching the splashes and the ensuing ripples with mild amusement.Thwack. Another stone hit the water, sending concentric circles outward.Thwack.Thwack.Julian sighed, his own loneliness pressing down on his young shoulders. He turned to one of the servants who stood discreetly nearby, ever watchful."When will mother return? What is taking her so long?" he asked, his voice carrying a note of impatience. "I’m bored of waiting."The servant who was an older woman with kind eyes, stepped forward slightly, her expression sympathetic. "Her Majesty is attending to some important matters, Your Highness. She should return shortly. Perhaps there i

Everything was falling into place perfectly. And so she concealed her satisfaction by swiftly changing her demeanor, adopting a look of concern and innocence as she knelt down to comfort her son, who was also trembling in fear.“What dead boy, my love?” she asked, her voice soft and soothing, masking her true intentions.Julian's eyes were wide with horror, still fixed on the scene before him. He struggled to find his voice, his small hands clutching at Victoria's dress. “The boy... the one they were carrying... he looked dead,” he whispered, his voice breaking.Isabel’s breath caught in her throat as she took in Julian’s words, her heart pounding in her chest. Her eyes widened with the sudden realization that the young boy Julian had seen was, indeed, her own son. Her entire world seemed to crumble around her,

Chapter 67: Flowers of DeceitIsabel's tears continued to flow, but she remained silent, her heart a tumult of emotions. Lucian's words were both a balm and a dagger, soothing her pain while reminding her of the precariousness of her situation.After ensuring Isabel was settled, Lucian left her in the care of a trusted maid and exited the room. His demeanor changed instantly from tender to resolute as he marched down the palace corridors. His mind was set on confronting Victoria, the source of so many of his troubles.He found her in the palace gardens, a picture of serene beauty amid the blooming flowers. Julian, their son, was at her side, mirroring her calm demeanor. The scene might have seemed peaceful to an outsider, but Lucian saw it for what it was—a carefully crafted facade."Where is the boy?" Lucian's voice cut through the air, sharp and demanding.Victoria turned, her expression one of practiced innocence. "What boy do you mean, my love?""Do not play games with me, Victori

Chapter 68

Chapter 68: The Calm Before the Storm Victoria’s smile faltered at the truth in Leticia’s words. Rage boiled over within her, and without a second thought, she slapped Leticia across the face. The sound echoed through the room, but the princess remained calm and her expression unchanged as she absorbed the blow. Leticia slowly turned her head back to face Victoria, her eyes serene and unyielding. A small, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips as if she had expected this reaction. "You wretch!" Victoria hissed, her voice trembling with fury. Leticia remained seated, her calm demeanor very much opposite to Victoria’s fury. She gently touched her reddening cheek, then looked up at Victoria with pity and amusement. “Why are you mad?” Leticia asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of mockery. “You had me here chained on both ankles, and yet it seems to me that between the two of us, you're the one who looks like a prisoner. What are you afraid of, Victoria?” Victoria’s eyes

Her heart tightened as she watched him being escorted to his seat, each step a painful reminder of her lost love.There was no mistake—this man is Benjamin’s father."Head Minister Marlowe, I have a proposition," Victoria spoke directly, her voice shameless and desperate as soon as he was seated.Marlowe’s demeanor shifted, his eyes narrowing with interest. "Hm. Do I benefit from it?" he asked, taking a measured sip of the tea prepared for him.Victoria took a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking.
