With newfound calm, he continued, “I overheard talk of it in the study when we were in Valken. The room had two levels. I always stayed upstairs, reading for hours on end. Occasionally, I’d hear them talking downstairs. Though it was just one floor between us, the study was large, and much of what was…

“If she can’t marry General Farrell, there is no need for me to care about her. None of my relatives are of any help. They seem to be making alliances with noble families, but they’re all focused on their own households and are unwilling to support Connor.” Lydia knew exactly who Kylie was referring to-Adelaide,…

“Father, all the nobles and scholars in the capital are forming connections through marriage. Now, it seems like they’ve set their sights on General Farrell. It seemed that I was right to entrust him with so many responsibilities. After all, even you hold him in high regard,” said Salvador, his voice breaking through Malcolm’s thoughts….

rarely voiced her opinions, and hardly ever spoke so much at once. Zoey had raised her according to the manners of a noble young lady, teaching her to keep her emotions in check and not let others see her true feelings.

I’ll find out exactly what happened before I speak to her.” “Well, there hasn’t been any major trouble, but she and…

Ellis tucked the banknote away, and a satisfied smile spread across his face. “Tell Mrs. Farrell not to worry. I’ll take a little break. It’s rare for me to have a relaxing moment while serving Her Majesty. Sometimes, I go all day without a sip of coffee.” Lincoln bowed and poured another cup, then smiled…
