"Check the seals again! Make sure nothing cracked open!"

Charles supervised the process with visible panic as workers rushed to gather the scattered gemstones, crouching around the courtyard to carefully pick up the fallen pouches.

While they were busy, the soldiers remained calm and collected, though a few of them had clearly noticed how quickly their general had moved.

Lucretius, however, acted as if nothing unusual had happened.

He bent slightly and picked up one of the gemstones that had r

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 141: Behind the Door

    The moment the royal palace came into view, my chest tightened. I knew I had been here countless times before, always for the banquets, but it did feel like this was my first time coming here. It felt like this was all new to me.Everything felt familiar, yet completely different now.The carriage slowed to a stop before the grand staircase, and for a brief second, I found myself staring at the palace doors longer than necessary. Because somehow, it felt like once I stepped inside, there would be no turning back anymore."Wifey."I blinked softly before turning toward Lucretius.His gaze lingered on me, looking calm as always, but I could feel it through the bond his quiet concern beneath it. "You're overthinking again," he murmured. I huffed softly under my breath. "Can you blame me?""No." A faint smile tugged at his lips. "But I'm still going to tell you to breathe."That earned a quiet laugh from me. It was just enough to loosen the tighteness in my chest. Beside us, Enoch look

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 140: The Same as Before

    The carriage moved steadily along the stone, the faint sound of wheels grinding against gravel filling the silence that lingered inside. It was still early, and the skies remained painted in soft shades of gray and gold while the cold morning air slipped through the small gap near the carriage window.Yet despite the peaceful scenery outside, the atmosphere inside was anything but peaceful. I shifted slightly against Lucretius, trying not to smile too obviously as I felt Enoch's gaze burning straight through us from the opposite seat.My older brother looked one inconvenience away from throwing Lucretius out of the moving carriage himself.Unfortunately for him—he couldn't do much anymore.Not after yesterday.Not after the truth.Not after realizing that separating our chambers apparently wasn't enough to stop Lucretius from climbing through balconies in the middle of the night.A faint smile threatened to tug at my lips at the memory.Beside me, Lucretius looked entirely unbothere

    I sank deeper into the lukewarm water, letting it cover my shoulders as I leaned back against the edge of the tub, my eyes falling shut for a brief moment. Finally... No shouting. No tension. No questions I couldn't answer. But even then, my mind didn't stop wandering right back at her."Luna Queen Rachelle..." I murmured.It was as if saying it too loudly would somehow make everything more real than it already was. My fingers moved slowly beneath the water, tracing idle patterns I didn't even register. She had always been someone I looked up to, even before all of this. She was my inspiration back when I was still Euphyllia Ivara Ruinart. My idol was the first female soldier to join the royal military, rising through the ranks before becoming our Luna Queen.I remembered interacting with her and thanking her for existing. That if she didn't, I wouldn't be in a tactical keeper position.A faint breath escaped me. "Why you, Your Majesty...?" I muttered, my brows drawing together sli

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 138: Someone He Trusted

    "So what happens if she dies again?" Enoch leaned back, staring at him now with a different kind of intensity. It wasn't just anger or disbelief, but it was something more dangerous.He didn't look at me, and he was carefully watching Lucretius. "Do you follow her?" he continued. "Do you end your life too... just to find her again?"I turned my head toward Lucretius because I needed to hear it from him. "Yes," Lucretius replied, without hesitation. I couldn't even see the doubt lingering in his freckled hazel eyes."I see..." But Enoch didn't stop there. "Then explain this," he added, leaning forward, his eyes sharpening. "When she died three years ago... I remember the rumors. You almost left the royal military. You disappeared for days. And I heard you almost ended your life."I turned to Lucretius fully now because I had been confirmed to him that they happened after my death. "How did it not end you?" Enoch asked quietly. "If you were so desperate to follow her... why didn't yo

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 137: A Soul That Never Left

    We told Enoch not everything in detail. Not every life, not every death, not every memory that still lingered like scars we couldn't erase, but enough for him to understand the shape of it.Or at least... we tried. Lucretius was still sitting beside me, his presence steady, his voice occasionally filling in the parts I couldn't bring myself to say. We spoke as we had practised it. Like... we had done this before. Perhaps we had. In another life. In another attempt. And that alone made everything feel more surreal.Enoch didn't interrupt us at first. He just listened, his brows gradually furrowing as he crossed his arms tightly over his chest. His gaze shifted between the two of us, as if searching for the slightest inconsistency in our words and deciding whether we had completely lost our minds.Or if we were trying to make him lose his. When we finished, we were enveloped with heavy and long silence. Lucretius and I were anxious, waiting for Enoch to say something."You expect

    The conversation that followed was anything but simple. We told him enough.About the assassination...About the reason Lucretius had taken me away from the capital without informing anyone...About the mate bond...About how everything had happened faster than either of us had planned. Not everything. At least... not yet.But enough for Enoch to sit there in silence, his elbows resting on his knees, his fingers clasped tightly together as if he was stopping himself from standing again and throwing another punch.The parlor room felt smaller than it should have. Even the royal soldiers who stood outside the door had gone still, as if they could feel the weight pressing against the walls.I sat beside Lucretius, though not as close as earlier. Not because I wanted distance, but because Enoch had already glared at us three times whenever our shoulders brushed.Ridiculous.We were already married. But apparently, that didn't matter to him.Enoch was silent for a long while. His gaze wa

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 25: His Territory

    And just like that, Lucretius dragged me to the nearest divine temple the very next day... and we got married. I still couldn't wrap my head around it. One moment, Lucretius planned to introduce me as his fiancée at his birthday party and had an engagement party a few days later, and now... There

    He sneaked in under the sheets and wrapped his arm around my waist before drawing my body close to his. "Are you about to sleep without me, wifey?" he asked huskily."Lucretius..." My heart was pounding right now because of the closeness of our bodies together, while his hand was massaging my hips,

    When we were finally out of the crowds, Lucretius slowed his pace. "I told you to only look at me," he said, his eyes on the front."I'm sorry?" I asked, puzzled by his words.But he didn't reply to me and just focused his attention as we were on our way to his private quarters. He hastened his pac

    "Investigation, you say?" Lucretius's eyes gleamed as if my request had stirred curiosity within him. His thumb traced slow circles along my waist, feeling ticklish from his touch as silence enveloped us.My senses heightened every time he would do that to me. I felt something sparkling that course
