Chapter 17

Author: Windtalker
Mathias had Seraphina as his plaything in bed for three years. If Gabriel found out about this…

Seraphina's face turned red. She felt that a body like hers was not worthy of Gabriel. She wanted to tell him the truth about her past scars. If Gabriel found her dirty and made her a mistress instead, she would willingly accept it.

Just as Seraphina was about to say something, Gabriel seemed to guess what was going through her mind. He kissed her to stop her from saying more. "You don't need to for

    "Seraphina… I was wrong. I know it was wrong of me. Please forgive me, Seraphina. You still love me, don't you?" Mathias kept mumbling as he tried to reach out to grab the hallucination in front of him, but Seraphina did not give him the answer he wanted.Even in his hallucination, Seraphina stood at a distance where he could never reach. All she did was look back coldly at him. "No… Don't look at me that way, Seraphina…"Mathias could not help sobbing and wondered what would happen if he agreed to Seraphina's request that day. Would things be different between them if he had agreed to marry her instead of asking her to be in the shadow?Tears streamed down his face as he clenched his teeth. He finally closed his eyes as he died a painful death.Gabriel stared down at him stoically. Mathias was dead, and his army had surrendered. Even his personal guard had surrendered to Gabriel's men, and he had no intention of struggling further. Gabriel had won, and Seraphina would never be s

    Mathias was drawing up his plan on the same day. "Father will definitely summon Gabriel Sterling back into the city to protect him. No one will be able to stop me once I kill him," he said calmly with an obsessive look in his eye.His personal guard spoke up hesitantly. "General Sterling is stationed permanently at the borders, and he only needs two weeks to reach the city. His army is made up of 100,000 elite soldiers… It won't be easy for us to win this battle.""We need to win no matter what!" Mathias slammed the table.His guard knelt in fear. "Yes, Your Highness, but there's one thing I don't understand. His Majesty is already prepared to pass the throne to you, and you only need to wait a few more years before His Majesty passes, and you'll become king legitimately. Why would you take such a risk now?"He was right. In the eyes of others, Mathias was not handling matters calmly. He had been heir to the throne from a young age, and there was no need for a hostile takeover as

    Numerous thoughts were on Gabriel's mind when he suddenly heard others calling out to him."General! General! General Sterling!" Gabriel snapped out of it and realized he was still at the barracks. "I'm sorry. I had something to deal with before. We should continue."He picked up his spear, and a group of soldiers started chuckling. "It's not often that General Sterling would lose his focus. Are you thinking about Lady Seraphina? We heard that the crown prince went to see her. He's not trying to take her from you, is he?""That isn't possible. He's the crown prince!""But Lady Seraphina is such a good woman. If she isn't, the crown prince wouldn't have approached her. If he were here on official business, he would just need to see General Sterling."Gabriel frowned as they continued making wild guesses. How could they joke about the crown prince? It was disrespectful to the royal family. If someone found out about it and this escalated, they would be executed.He was about to r

    What a wonderful promise Mathias gave Seraphina. He promised her that she would be the crown princess and later, the queen. Both were statuses that many could only wish for in their dreams. However, Seraphina felt nothing for Mathias besides sorrow and distance.She took out a handkerchief she kept by her side at all times and clenched it tight. "Your Highness, do you remember granting me a wish when you wanted the blood from my heart, and you put your seal on it?"Mathias nodded. He remembered. Seraphina spread the handkerchief open to reveal words written in blood. "This was what I wanted, and I hope you'll be able to keep your promise, Your Highness."Mathias was taken aback. He had been so anxious about Cordelia's condition that he put his seal down without a second thought. He did not expect that he had granted her something like this.'Mathias Cavendish, the crown prince, agrees that Seraphina Montclair is free to marry whomever she desires, and promises to never harass h

    "Where's Gabriel Sterling?" Mathias shouted.Gabriel's expression turned stoic as he walked out on his own. He asked respectfully, "Is there anything you need, Your Highness?""I want to know if Seraphina Montclair has married you. If so, I want both of you to get divorced right now!"Mathias got off his horse to look Gabriel in the eye, but Gabriel had no intention of backing off. "I'm sorry that I'm unable to comply with your request, Your Highness. Seraphina and I have deep feelings for each other. Isn't it immature for Your Highness to try to break us apart with just an order from you?"Gabriel looked grim. He was not submissive, nor did he lower his head. He stared right into Mathias' eyes."I'm the crown prince and your future king. All I'm asking is for you and Seraphina to get divorced. Why must you go against me when you're only a general, General Sterling? Are you trying to go against the word of a member of the royal family?"Mathias was the crown prince, and he had al

  • A Warm Solace in Winter's Frost   Chapter 19

    How could Seraphina not know who he was? The crown princess was Cordelia, her sister. Before she married Gabriel, she would meet the crown prince in secret every day. The crown prince was a man known for being composed and stoic, yet every time he met her, he would press her body below him and take her over and over again. It happened so many times that she thought he was in love with her.Every time he was done with venting his lust and desires on her, he would treat her coldly and hurt her feelings. He would allow others to misunderstand her and cause her harm. He wanted her to stay in the shadows forever and become his personal plaything in bed.Seraphina was willing to marry herself off to the borders because she wanted to escape him, but Mathias still insisted on coming for her, which was something she never expected. She clenched her fists. Even though she no longer loved Mathias, it still hurt her tremendously to talk about her past with him. It was the worst thing she had
