But with Sebastian around, there was no chance anyone could lay a hand on Caitlin.

The second Greta swung the thermos to scald Caitlin, Sebastian reacted with lightning speed, kicking it away mid-air.

The boiling water went flying—right into Millie’s face.

"Ahhh!" Millie shrieked, stumbling backward as the scalding water splashed across her cheek. "It burns! It burns! My face! It hurts so bad!"

She clawed at her own face in a panic, but the searing pain only intensified as the skin blistered beneath her fingertips.

"Millie! Oh my God—Millie!" Greta panicked, rushing to her daughter-in-law. But the pain only grew worse.

"My face… my face… what do I do?"

Greta’s heart burned with guilt and fury. She knew Millie had already been talking about divorcing her son, and in that moment of desperation, something cruel took over.

She reached into a nearby flowerpot, grabbed a handful of clay pellets used for planting, and began rubbing them into Millie’s already-burned face.

    One week laterLeif VI brought Kelly back to the palace. Sebastian, Magnus, and Kasha were waiting at the gates to welcome them.“How are you feeling?” Sebastian asked gently.“I’m fine,” Kelly said with a soft smile.“Welcome home,” Magnus added warmly.Kelly nodded in gratitude, then looked at the young woman beside him. “And this must be your girlfriend? She’s lovely.”“Yes. This is Vanessa,” Magnus replied, smiling.“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Vanessa said politely. She already knew who Kelly was—the biological mother of Caitlin and the future Queen of Asteria.“Come,” Leif VI said, offering his arm to Kelly. “I want to show you around.”They entered the palace together, followed by everyone else.As they walked through the gilded corridors, Kelly quietly took in every detail of the royal resi

    Maxwell’s remaining allies quickly defected, desperate to distance themselves from him.But redemption would not come so easily.Leif VI read aloud a list of names—members of Parliament who had directly conspired with Maxwell.“Guards,” he commanded, “arrest every person on this list.”Royal guards stormed the chamber, seizing the named conspirators where they sat.Panic swept through the hall. Men fell to their knees, pleading for mercy.“Your Majesty, forgive us!”“We were forced! Please, have mercy!”“Your Majesty, I’m innocent!”Leif VI’s expression did not soften. “Take them all away. The courts will determine who is innocent and who is guilty.”He would not wrong a single good man, nor spare a single traitor. Every name on that list had been verified through years of quiet investigation.Once the arre

    “Since all are present, I will now announce the principal matter of the day.”Leif VI sat at the central rostrum and spoke into the microphone.Caitlin and the others stood below the dais, positioned to protect the King.The chamber fell still, every ear straining for the King’s words. Leif VI continued, “In the name of the crown, I hereby formally declare the removal…”He spoke slowly, pausing on each word, lending weight and severity to the moment.Many members were taken aback. Why announce a removal at once, rather than first call for a vote?They were braced to hear of the Queen’s abolition. No one expected the words that followed.“…the removal of Maxwell from both his posts as Chair of the Army Commission and Minister of Justice.”Silence crashed over the hall. It felt as if the air congealed and time stopped. People blinked and checked their own hearing

    The situation had turned dire. Just as Maxwell gave the order to arrest Caitlin, a sudden commotion broke out near the checkpoint.“The King has arrived! Make way for His Majesty!” a guard shouted breathlessly.The soldiers immediately steered their vehicles aside, clearing the road. Maxwell’s scalp prickled. The King—here? Now? His arrival couldn’t have come at a worse time.The officers around him stiffened, exchanging uneasy glances. Meanwhile, Caitlin and Magnus felt a surge of relief. If their father was here, Maxwell would no longer have the upper hand.“My father’s here,” Caitlin said coldly. “You’d better let go of me.”Magnus tore free of his captors and stepped forward to greet Leif VI as the royal convoy approached. The father and son exchanged a brief nod before Magnus took the handles of the King’s wheelchair and pushed him forward.Every soldier on-si

    As the group exited the military prison, Maxwell’s eyes gleamed with a trace of triumph. “Magnus, the inspection is complete. Shall I have someone escort you all back?”“No need,” Magnus replied calmly. “It seems there’s still one place we haven’t checked.”He turned his gaze toward the distant research facility. Maxwell’s expression darkened. “Your Highness, that area is off-limits. The lab contains highly contagious viruses and toxins. It’s too dangerous for you.”The laboratory entrance was marked with warning signs: Restricted Area, Authorized Personnel Only. His words sounded considerate, but everyone could hear the tension behind them. He didn’t want them to go any further.“It’s fine,” Magnus said lightly. “I’ll send my subordinates in for a brief look.”He gestured to Caitlin, Sebastian, Zeke, and Alicia. The four of

    Maxwell’s car sped through the night toward the Sanctic Military Research Base. The facility was under strict military lockdown, surrounded by multiple checkpoints, and no outsiders were allowed within a kilometer.Only then did Harrison realize where their mother had been imprisoned. No one would ever think to look for Kelly in the military’s most heavily guarded site.Caitlin frowned and said in a low voice, “We can’t just rush in. Let’s wait for everyone to arrive first. I’ll contact Magnus.”Alicia looked worried. “If Maxwell finds out Harrison lied to him, won’t he be in danger?”Caitlin stayed silent for a moment, glancing up at the darkening sky. A knot of unease twisted in her chest.Soon, the others arrived. Magnus came leading a convoy of military vehicles, accompanied by several trusted officers loyal to the King. He ordered everyone to change into army uniforms, then used
