Layla

Ser Lewis and Carl returned to the prince’s mansion late into the night. Until they came back, I did not sleep even for a moment. My mind kept running in circles, replaying every possibility, every answer they might bring. I needed to know what had happened. Had they accepted the token. Had they agreed. Even if they had not, I was not prepared to let this matter rest. They owed me this much for nearly taking my husband’s life.

“Princess,” Ser Lewis said the moment he entered.

I sat up immediately. “What is the news,” I asked, unable to hide the excitement rising inside me.

Ser Lewis hesitated before answering. “They did not agree.”

Carl stepped forward and added, “They claim they cannot allow a commoner who does not have a formal education to study medicine.”

“But I can read and write,” I said sharply.

“They said you do not possess a certificate,” Ser Lewis replied.

Carl continued, “Duke Hawthorne was close to agreeing, but his brother objected. He said the medical institution i

  • Marked By The Cursed Alpha Prince   Chapter 79: Meeting the Queen

    The court fell silent as the royal scribe finished reading the king’s judgment. “The court finds that Princess Layla’s decision is lawful and justified. Duke Hawthorne gave his words in writing. It can therefore be implied that Duke Hawthorne accepted that any member of his house would be at Princess Layla’s disposal, provided the token was used.”The king gave a slow nod, signalling that the matter was closed. There would be no further discussion and no appeal. The judgment had been delivered, and it could not be undone.A broken voice shattered the silence.“Your Majesty. Father..... Please.”Princess Elena rushed forward, ignoring the shocked gasps around her as she fell to her knees before the throne. Her hands trembled as she clutched the edge of the king’s robe, her eyes filled with desperation and fear.“Please reconsider,” she begged. “My father, my brothers, they do not deserve this. This punishment is too cruel.”Her voice shook as she pleaded, but the king did not respond

  • Marked By The Cursed Alpha Prince   Chapter 78: Dishonour

    “What do you mean by this, Princess Layla? Are you threatening Duke Hawthrone?” Prince Marcus asked sharply. Behind him, his wife, Princess Elena, looked furious. Her eyes burned with rage. All three of her brothers were about to be sent to Prince Lucian’s household as servants. To her, it was unbearable humiliation. She looked as if she wanted to tear my face apart. I could read her thoughts clearly. But did I care? Not at all. “What do you mean by *what*?” I asked, putting on my most innocent expression. “Brother-in-law, we are standing in the court of law, before the king himself. I should not be accused before His Majesty gives his verdict. He is the moon of our empire, and his decisions are final.” The king grunted in irritation. He clearly disliked being dragged into a family dispute, but Prince Marcus had insisted on bringing this matter before him. “Your Majesty,” I said calmly, stepping forward and holding up a golden token. “Prince Marcus and Princess Elena gave this t

  • Marked By The Cursed Alpha Prince   Chapter 76: Affair

    Layla “Your Highness, a few months ago you gave me a token from the Hawthorne family. You said I could use it however I wished. Do you still feel the same?” I asked him with my heart thumping in my ears. He looked at me, confused. Had he changed his mind? What if he had done? “Why would I change my mind about something I already told you?” he said. “I genuinely wanted you to use the token, Layla.” “Okay.” My heart warmed. So things weren’t as bad as I had feared. At least, he was still allowing me to use the token. “What will you be using it for?” he asked. “I want to learn medicine,” I said. “Medicine?” he repeated. Was he judging me? Then he added, “That’s good. You would be going to the Hawthorne family?” I nodded. “For outsiders, especially those who aren’t Hawthornes, there’s a very tough entrance exam to enter their medical institute,” he explained. “I’m not trying to discourage you. I’m merely saying they don’t like outsiders. They rarely accept them. If there’s so

    Layla“Why did you not tell me that you had to come to court?” Lucian asked as soon as the doors closed behind us, his voice calm on the surface but strained underneath.I met his gaze, already knowing there was no answer that would satisfy him. How could I have told him when he had shut himself away, drowning in his own bitterness and refusing to look at anything beyond his wounded pride?“You were busy,” I said quietly.His eyes flared red, the control he prided himself on slipping. “Busy?” he repeated sharply. “We live in the same house, Layla. What could I possibly be so busy with that you could not enter my chambers and tell me you needed me? I have never ignored you.” He paused, his jaw tightening. “I see you as my responsibility.”The word landed like a blow.“Responsibility,” I echoed, forcing my expression to remain neutral even as my chest ached. “Is that what I am to you?”His brows drew together in confusion. “That is not what I meant.”“But that is what you said,” I repli

  • Marked By The Cursed Alpha Prince   Chapter 74: Layla in Court

    Lucian“Your Highness, Princess Layla has gone to the palace,” I heard Ser Gregory say as I was still buried beneath a pile of documents, my attention slow to lift until the words truly reached me.I looked up sharply. “What do you mean?”“There is a case being heard before the King today,” Ser Gregory explained, his tone careful, “a woman purchased an edible product from Princess Layla’s shop and later returned with her sick child, claiming the child suffered food poisoning because of the item, and the matter was brought to court instead of being settled privately.”Anger flared in my chest almost instantly, because over such a small matter, she had gone to court without informing me, and the thought that this could be another scheme made my blood boil.“Prepare the horse,” I said without hesitation.As I rode toward the palace, my thoughts were scattered and restless, my nerves stretched tight with unease, because no matter how minor the issue sounded, Layla standing alone before th
