Finally, Kylie lowered herself fully to the floor. “It was my foolishness and shortsightedness, Mother. Please guide Connor and plan for his future. I won’t interfere again, nor will I indulge him as I have.” Victoria looked at her, unimpressed. She had seen this cycle from Kylie too many times-momentary clarity followed by the same…

Kylie knew how highly Salvador regarded Trevor, so she couldn’t afford to offend him. She simply nodded slightly and said, “I understand. I only came to check on him for a moment. His hands are so cold. Why hasn’t he been given more layers of clothing?” Trevor glanced at the thick cotton garments Connor was…

“At the very least, I see that you also defend him and appreciate his abilities,” Salvador retorted. “The Hell Monarch is a loyal minister. As such, it’s only natural that an old minister like me supports a loyal one,” Jeremiah said. Salvador studied him for a long moment, then smiled. “Well said. He is a…

There was a reason Sophie hadn’t told Violet about this. Even though Violet understood the gravity of the situation and knew better than to speak carelessly, Sophie could only confide in her people. She had a lot of them-Travis, Bun, Cynthia her mentor, and her guild members. They were all her people. Now, even Helen…

Rosalind was immediately flustered. “Your Grace!” Sophie laughed softly. Most newlyweds worried about whether their husband would treat them well or…

“She didn’t have a choice; she had to hurt herself for no reason. The king was really inconsiderate this time,” Victoria said with a calm expression. Before long, Helen stormed back into Serenity Palace, her temper flaring. Ignoring Keith’s presence, she angrily exclaimed, “It’s as if those living in the palace have no world beyond…

“I told her the truth. That you miss General Nathan and wish to reminisce about the past,” Derek answered calmly. Salvador fell silent, staring at the ceiling. After a long moment, he murmured, “That’s true. It is true.” He closed his eyes and pressed both hands to his forehead. “Leave me. I want to think…

“Headaches?” Sophie’s brow furrowed. “I’ve never heard of His Majesty suffering from such an ailment.” “They started this autumn, likely brought on by exposure to the cold wind,” Derek explained. “I see…” Sophie nodded slowly before hesitantly asking, “Has His Majesty ever mentioned dreaming about my second brother?” “He has,” Derek admitted with a quiet…

The remark left her with more questions than answers. What puzzled her even more was Salvador’s recent behavior.
