Born of secrets, loved by a King
Tired of a life filled with power, expectations, and meaningless relationships, King Albert secretly abandons his royal identity in search of something he has never truly had—freedom and genuine love.
Living under a new name far from the palace, he meets Amara, a hardworking young woman struggling to raise her younger siblings after the tragic loss of their parents. Despite the hardships she faces, Amara remains strong, kind, and fiercely determined to protect the only family she has left.
Drawn to her resilience and warmth, Albert finds himself falling for her in a way he never thought possible. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, long-buried secrets surrounding Amara's mysterious birth start to emerge. What begins as a simple love story quickly becomes a dangerous journey filled with hidden enemies, shocking revelations, and palace conspiracies.
As Albert fights to protect the woman he loves, he must also confront the responsibilities of the crown he tried to leave behind. With powerful forces working against them, can their love survive the truth, or will the secrets of the past tear them apart forever?

Chapter: chapter 36: Poisoned King's SupperThe royal dining hall glowed beneath three magnificent crystal chandeliers and walls adorned with portraits of generations of monarchs. At the center of the hall stood an enormous mahogany dining table that could comfortably seat more than twenty people. Tonight, however, only the royal family occupied its seats.The center of the table was a feast. A whole roasted turkey, golden and glistening, sat at the heart of the spread, flanked by mounds of bread rolls, layered pastries, and platters of roasted meats. Bowls of salad, bright with cherry tomatoes and greens, sat next to trays of cheeses, fresh fruit, and candied berries. Towering candelabras with tall white candles cast a warm glow over it all, making the food look richer, the gold plates catch fire. The aroma alone was enough to make anyone's stomach growl.Yet no one touched a single dish.The family waited.It was a tradition established decades ago by King Theodore himself.No member of the royal family was permitted to begi

Chapter: chapter 35: The wrong person to mess withAfter the fight got broken up, I figured I'd be sent straight back to class. Instead, the school nurse took one look at my face and practically dragged me to the clinic. "I'm perfectly fine," I complained. "You have a cut on your lip." "It's tiny." "And a bump on your forehead." "Also tiny." "Sit down." I sighed dramatically and dropped into the chair. The nurse ignored me completely and grabbed an ice pack. A few minutes later, I sat there pressing the cold pack against my forehead while she fussed over me, even though it honestly wasn't that bad. Frank looked worse than I did. Not that I was going to tell anyone that. "Any dizziness?" the nurse asked. "No." "Blurred vision?" "No." "Pain?" "A little." She nodded. "Stay here a few more minutes." I groaned. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the school, Frank was probably getting the lecture of his life. Good. For once. --- Inside the principal's office, Frank sat lazily in his chair while the principal stood behind the de

Chapter: Chapter 34: KneelSince morning, Frank had been sending me on one errand after another.Get his books.Refill his water bottle.Stand outside the bathroom and "make sure no one comes in."At some point he even shoved his unfinished homework at me in the middle of class."Finish question six before the teacher gets here, or you're dead."I'd finished question six.And seven, for good measure, just to shut him up.By the time the brunch bell rang, I wasn't just tired.I was done.The sound of it was the sweetest thing I heard all day.I didn't celebrate out loud—that would've been asking for trouble—but inside, I was throwing a parade.Free. For twenty minutes, I am a free man.Drake fell into step beside me before we even reached the cafeteria doors."You look like you aged five years since this morning.""Don't talk to me about morning."We grabbed our usual spot near the window.I dropped on my seat like my legs had given up on holding me up.For a second, things felt normal again."So," Drake said, s

Chapter: chapter 33: Convoy goneThe convoy of cars pulled up to the school gates, and the entire school seemed to pause.Students gathered around immediately, trying to figure out who could possibly own so many expensive vehicles."Who is that?""Is some politician visiting?""No way. That's too many cars.""Maybe it's a celebrity."Even the security guards looked curious.The first bodyguard stepped out and opened one of the doors.A second vehicle stopped behind it.Students watched as a driver carefully brought out Adrian's school bag, lunch box, water bottle, and enough supplies to survive a small war.The crowd gasped."Even his school bag has its own car?""What kind of rich person is this?"Then the main car door opened.The crowd seemed to hold its breath.Albert stepped out.For a second, everything went silent.Then chaos erupted."Oh my God!""He's so handsome!""Take a picture!""Quick!"Phones appeared from nowhere.Some girls were openly screaming.Others were fixing their hair.A few were silently pra

Chapter: chapter 32: Dragged to schoolMonday morning arrived far too quickly for Adrian's liking.The moment he opened his eyes and remembered exactly whatwaited for him at school, he let out a groan so miserable it could have wokenthe dead.A maid drew back the curtains, smiling gently at the lump ofblankets that was technically a prince. "Good morning, YourHighness.""It is *not* a good morning."She bit back a laugh and said nothing.Adrian burrowed deeper under the covers. "Wake me upwhen summer arrives. Or never. Never is also acceptable.""Your Highness, school starts in less than an 2 hours"The blanket flew off so fast it nearly took a lamp with it."What if I simply... don't go?"The maid blinked. "Then His Majesty will come lookingfor you."Adrian was out of bed before she finished the sentence — notout of duty, but because Albert finding him in bed was a fate strictly worsethan school.His cooperation lasted exactly 45 minutes. The moment he worehis uniform, he dropped to the floor ofthe royal sitting

Chapter: Chapter 31: The servant betThe final school bell rang loudly "Bong Bong Bong"Almost instantly, the school grounds came alive.Students poured out of classrooms and rushed toward the gate. Some waited for family drivers, some boarded school buses, while others walked home with friends or parents.Among the crowd was Adrian Hayden.He walked toward the gate with Drake his best friend and several classmates.Just as they reached the entrance, everyone suddenly stopped.All eyes turned toward Adrian.A grin spread across one boy's face."Adrian, you haven't forgotten our bet, have you?"Several students laughed.Drake immediately stepped forward."He doesn't need to prove anything to you guys. Leave him alone."He grabbed Adrian's arm."Come on. Let's go."The class bully folded his arms."Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horses."A smug smile appeared on his face."A bet is a bet."He pointed at Adrian."You said you were the richest student in the entire school. Now prove it."Another boy chuckled."Unless you want
