Author: Explosive King
I recognized that hand at once. A broad smile spread across my face.

“Father, I’ve been waiting for you.”

Before the stunned crowd could react, my father appeared in the banquet hall.

I rushed over and embraced him, barely able to contain my excitement.

The assembled gods stood frozen. They lowered their eyes and pretended not to stare, but their shock was impossible to hide.

The guards at Father’s side made no move to stop me. That alone told everyone what they needed to know.

  • A Sparrow Stole My Place As Heir   Chapter 9

    “Do you expect me to believe that you feel nothing about this? The woman you love chose me. You must be jealous.”I had no interest in arguing with him. Since Elowyn had chosen Corvin, I would never allow her back into my life.Who Corvin chose to marry was none of my concern.Elowyn, however, took offense at his words.She slapped Corvin.“Don’t flatter yourself. I came here to marry Auren and become the next High Queen. You have nothing to do with it.”Already close to death, Corvin collapsed and cried out in pain. “Your Majesty, these chests contain everything I prepared for my wedding. I consulted a court seer, who confirmed that Auren and I are destined for one another.“She also said that the stars favor a wedding three days from now. I wish to marry the man I’ve always loved.”I stared at Elowyn, stunned by her audacity.As it turned out, she had never loved either of us. She only wanted the crown. The man beneath it did not matter.Before I could respond, Father spo

    “Must you turn this family disgrace into a scandal for all Three Realms to witness?” Father bellowed with fury.“Save Corvin, and we’ll let the entire matter rest.” Seravelle insisted.“The oldest laws of magic are at work here. Even I can’t simply overturn their judgment. You turned against your own brother for an impostor. Haven’t you done enough?“Auren will inherit my throne. If you continue to provoke him, not even I can protect you when he becomes High King,” Father warned them.“Does he even deserve your throne? He’s too weak and indecisive to rule!” Elvarra stepped forward and declared.“Perhaps I’ve been too merciful then. Guards, execute every attendant who aided Corvin and erase their spirits from existence. Sever Corvin’s limbs, then use whatever magic is necessary to keep him alive.“I want him to witness exactly how I punish those who challenge the Divine Heir!”At my command, my sisters erupted in protest once more.“You would execute so many of your own people?

    “I had intended to execute him for what he did to Auren, but the Final Withering has already taken hold of him. He has only days to live. Take him with you if you wish.”Father waved dismissively.“What?”My sisters all turned toward Father in shock.“How could Corvin be afflicted by the Final Withering? We kept him under constant protection!”“He doesn’t even look like he is dying.”Seravelle suddenly turned toward me. Her eyes were burning with hatred.“Tell me! Was this your doing?”I stared at her, genuinely baffled.“Why would you assume that? How could that possibly be my doing?”Father answered for me. “This is the consequence of your own actions. You forced the Divine Heir into submission before a mortal sparrow.“The divine order itself is punishing him for accepting that submission. He’s fortunate that it didn’t kill him on the spot.”Father spoke calmly, but his words left my sisters staring in horror.“What? How is that possible? We were told it would only shor

  • A Sparrow Stole My Place As Heir   Chapter 6

    Father’s chest rose and fell with barely contained fury. One of his daughters had already died after trying to harm me, and Seravelle had forced me to silence her as well.Even then, Seravelle was still trying to break the silencing spell.All her life, she had been Father’s favorite daughter, pampered and protected from every consequence. She could not accept that she had been punished because of me.Worse still, Corvin had witnessed her humiliation. In her mind, I was entirely to blame for making her look weak before the man she loved. Breathing hard, she finally broke through my spell and staggered to her feet.Ignoring her injuries, she protested, “Father, you’ve always been too lenient with Auren. As his eldest sister, I was only trying to correct his behavior. What exactly did I do wrong?”That was the last thing Father needed to hear.“He is my son and heir. I know him far better than you ever could, so don’t presume to tell me how to raise him. I asked you to protect your

    Corvin weakly spoke up in support of Seravelle.“That’s right. It was all meant to test him. We never intended to harm the heir!”One of Father’s guards strode forward and punched him.“You’re nothing but a mortal bird, with no rank or standing in the High Realm. Do not address the High King without permission.”The guard showed no concern for Corvin’s weakened state. The blow sent blood spilling from his mouth.My sisters immediately panicked at the sight.They immediately spoke up in Corvin’s defense.“Father, Corvin is still a living soul deserving of mercy. He only spoke because he feared you might condemn us after hearing Auren’s side of the story alone.”“Exactly. Auren’s return as the High King’s son placed him at the center of everyone’s attention, making him an obvious target.“We only put him through this test to protect him from anyone who might infiltrate the palace to harm him.”Seeing them rush to Corvin’s defense, Father’s anger erupted. His gaze swept over eve

That alone told everyone what they needed to know.“We’ve made a terrible mistake. Auren really is the High King’s heir! Who told us he was the fraud?”“So, the nine princesses have been protecting an impostor this entire time?” “No common sparrow would steal the heir’s identity so openly. Someone powerful must be behind him!”Panic flickered across Seravelle’s face when she saw Father arrive.She exchanged a frightened glance with my sisters. Then, they hurriedly stood at attention, each pressing a hand over her heart in formal greeting.One look at
