Chapter: 184Hailey turned the sauce on the pan and whistled gently as she turned around the kitchen, buying herself other things while it cooked. After a minute, she looked at her wristwatch in contemplation. It was 5 pm already and Nathan should be home soon enough. She couldn't help looking out of the kitchen window to check if he was at the door yet but there was no one there so she returned to what she was doing.After some time, she was done in the kitchen and walked to the living room to sit down and wait for him. But she seemed rather impatient as she soon picked up her phone from the table and instead, dialed his number. It only rang once before it was answered and the man's familiar voice sounded from the phone. "Wifey," he called out cheekily making her break into smiles immediately. She leaned back on the sofa and adjusted the hand holding the phone before replying, "If you're not home in the next thirty minutes, I'm afraid your wife will be seduced away by another man."Nolan's lau

The Sickly Crown Prince And His Fierce Wife
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has caused trouble again."
Lucien didn't look up from the document in his hands.
"How unfortunate."
The attendant hesitated.
"She confiscated House Drayke's grain."
Lucien's pen stopped.
"Why?"
"They refused to open their warehouses during the capital's shortage, selling only to nobles.”
"And?"
"The Crown Princess broke the locks."
Lucien finally looked up.
"She did what?"
"She broke the locks, counted every sack, and ordered the grain distributed to the lower districts."
A silence followed.
Then Lucien calmly returned to his document.
"Good."
The attendant blinked.
"Your Highness?"
"Anything else?"
"House Drayke is furious. Their patriarch has demanded that Her Highness be punished for humiliating a Great House."
Lucien's expression didn't change.
"Then punish him first."
The attendant stared.
"...For what offense?"
Lucien finally raised his eyes.
"For making my Crown Princess do his work."
***
Three weeks after nearly drowning in a lotus pond, Crown Princess Adeline had already managed to offend three ministers, two Great Houses, half the Imperial Palace, and her husband's stepmother.
What nobody knew was that Adeline wasn't really Adeline.
She was Seraphine, the ruthless northern general presumed dead on the battlefield.
She inherited the broken household of the supposedly dying Crown Prince, where servants stole freely and officials answered to no one.
Unfortunately for them, not only did she know what corruption looked like, she knew how to bring unruly officials in line.
She never expected to awaken in the body of the wallflower crown princess.
Nor did she expect her supposedly useless husband.
Lucien was supposed to be sickly, weak, and dying.
Adeline quickly discovers that the rumors surrounding him are not quite true.
And Lucien discovers something even more troublesome.
His new wife has absolutely no intention of behaving like a Crown Princess.

Chapter: Chapter SevenHOUSE OAKHARTThe Oakhart grounds were unusually quiet that morning.The estate had always been filled with the sounds of soldiers training, but today there was only the slow tolling of the funeral bell.A black coffin rested at the center of the ancestral burial grounds beneath the Oakhart standard. The silver wolf had been embroidered across the dark cloth, and Seraphine's spear rested upon the lid.Soldiers from the northern army stood around the grave in formal uniform. Many had traveled all the way from the border to attend.Their usual discipline was nowhere to be found.One young soldier kept his head lowered, his eyes red. Another repeatedly wiped his face whenever he thought nobody was watching.At the front stood the Oakhart family members.Seraphine's grandfather stood nearest the coffin, dressed in his black military coat, the silver wolf insignia fastened at his breast. His back remained straight and his expression was stern. Only his red eyes betrayed him.Beside him st

Chapter: Chapter SixTHE IMPERIAL HALLVALEDRIAThe Imperial Hall stood at the heart of the palace, beyond the Grand Court.Its vaulted ceiling rose high above rows of deep-blue banners bearing the Valedrian dragon, while tall arched windows cast pale morning light across the stone floor. At the far end of the chamber, the throne stood upon a raised marble dais. No one sat upon it yet.By the time the assembly gathered, the hall was already filled with low conversation.Officials stood beneath the high stone arches, gathered in twos and threes as they spoke amongst themselves. Their dark coats and long military tunics were cut neatly against their bodies, the high collars fastened beneath their throats. Gold and silver embroidery marked their different ranks without becoming excessive. A few wore cloaks bearing the colors of their houses, while the military commanders favored simpler coats that left little room for ornament.The men spoke in hushed voices, discussing matters of state while keeping a care

Chapter: Chapter FiveFor several seconds, neither of them moved.Seraphine stared at the man standing in the doorway.The Crown Prince stared back.His gaze moved over her face before settling on the letter in her hand.Seraphine's eyes followed his, and she was momentarily flustered.Not because of his appearance.She had seen enough half-naked men in military camps to know better than to be flustered by a man's bare chest.It was simply because she had been caught snooping around in his personal space.But, she didn't let it show on her face.Without a word, she returned the document to the narrow gap between the leather-bound volumes.Then she turned away from him."I'll give you a moment to dress."The man watched her turn away and raised a brow.She was quite calm for a noble lady standing in front of a half-naked man."There's no need."His voice stopped her.Seraphine glanced back.Lucien had already pulled his outer robe over his shoulders. He tied it slowly, then waved to whoever was behind him b

Chapter: Chapter FourCROWN PRINCESS'S QUARTERS EASTERN WING, IMPERIAL PALACE "They cannot be serious!" Rosalie lifted the bowl of porridge and looked at it as though it had personally offended her. "Your Highness, this is what they sent you?" Seraphine glanced at the tray. "What is wrong with it?" Rosalie looked at her in disbelief. "What is wrong with it?" She placed the bowl back down with slightly more force than necessary. "Everything." Seraphine's eyes moved over the meal. There was a bowl of plain rice porridge, a small serving of steamed vegetables, a few slices of meat and nothing else. "Is this not enough?" she asked. Rosalie's mouth fell open. "Enough?" She pointed accusingly at the tray. "Your Highness, you nearly drowned last night. You lost blood, struck your head and have been unconscious since then. And this is what they send you?" She shook her head furiously. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were feeding an ordinary servant." Seraphine picked up the small p

Chapter: Chapter ThreeCROWN PRINCESS'S QUARTERS EASTERN WING, IMPERIAL PALACE The next time Seraphine's eyes opened, she was lying on a soft mattress. Her head no longer hurt as badly, and her vision had cleared considerably. Instead, a faint scent of sandalwood and incense surrounded her, making her feel groggy and weak. But at least she could see her surroundings now. A tall canopy stood above her, its pale curtains hanging loosely around the bed. Where was she? She stared upward as the events before she lost consciousness slowly returned to her. The water, the maids, the Crown Prince. She remembered the strange sensation of her hands feeling too small and unfamiliar. Seraphine slowly lifted one into view. A slender, pale hand with delicate fingers stared back at her. She flexed them several times. No, this was not hers. Her gaze swept across the room. It was spacious without being excessively decorated. Pale curtains surrounded the bed, while dark wooden furniture occupied the corners.
