Chapter 462

Author: Laughing Riot
"How do you intend to resolve this matter?" Wilfred asked, his gaze practically burning through his son.

Theodore knew he could offer no satisfactory solution today. In his father's eyes, he had already lost his standing entirely.

With Frederick's leg ruined, the Obsidian Monarch's face disfigured, and the eldest prince long deceased, this should have been the perfect moment for other princes to shine. When he first heard he was to be betrothed to Lilia, Theodore thought his chance had finally come.

But in just two short days, he had managed to ruin a winning hand completely. Where had it all gone wrong? Why did it feel as though an invisible, terrifying force was dragging him off his pedestal?

"Father, p-perhaps we could—"

"This matter has surely already caused a storm across the city," Andrew warned.

So, before the prince spoke his mind, he needed to carefully consider the royal family's reputation.

A pang of unease struck Theodore. Philip was no ordinary man. If Theodore sugg

    "Mother, I was truly set up."Theodore recounted every detail of the previous night to Emma, leaving nothing out. The more she heard, the tighter she clutched the handkerchief in her hand. In other words, someone powerful was targeting her son."Two people?" she asked, hardly able to believe it.They had even dared to attack her son. Whoever those two were, they must have nerves of steel!"Are you certain you don't know who it was?" she questioned.Her son was no weakling, and Tranquil Estate was heavily guarded. It wasn't easy for anyone to break in, let alone carry him off. Those two were definitely exceptional fighters, their skills far beyond what anyone could estimate."I… I just have a feeling…" Theodore hesitated."You know who it was?" Emma's heart skipped. So, he did know something. "Then, why didn't you tell your father?""I… I dared not.""Dared not? Who could make you fear speaking?"Emma's mind spun. He was a high-ranking prince, for heaven's sake!"I… I really

    "Sebastian Campbell, you hypocrite! Why must you put on airs in front of me?" Theodore snapped.At that moment, the prince wished he could tear the seemingly righteous expression from Sebastian's face. He was nothing but a fraud!"You gave Princess Lilia that disguise and made her look ugly on purpose. Surely that was you and your sister's idea! Do you really think I'm so blind I won't see through it?"Sebastian wanted to respond, but ultimately said nothing. There was no need to argue with someone like Theodore. They had already achieved what they wanted. What anyone else thought or felt was no concern of theirs.However, Lilia couldn't bear to see Sebastian slighted in any way.She snorted. "Sebastian had nothing to do with it. He isn't scheming or cunning like that."A schemer like Theodore actually dared to call Sebastian hypocritical? What a joke!"So, you were in on it too?" Theodore glared at Lilia, gritting his teeth. "You really don't want to marry me?""Of course I do

    "So, you mean to say that you don't wish to marry Prince Theodore?" Andrew asked at just the right moment.If Lilia refused of her own accord, then the situation became advantageous for Aurensia. Plus, the trouble with Theodore and Jillian could be resolved.Lilia still faced Wilfred, nodding firmly. "My heart belongs only to General Campbell. I will marry no one else."Sebastian bowed his head low to the king. "My devotion to Princess Lilia is no less. I humbly beg you to grant us permission to marry. I will devote myself entirely to repay your graciousness in the years to come."The frost in Wilfred's eyes finally softened. At least the mess caused by that wretched son of his could now be put right."Since you both—""Father, I… I also have feelings for Princess Lilia—" Theodore began."Your Highness," Andrew interrupted the prince at just the right moment, smiling. "The king of Dawnmere doesn't know about General Campbell and Princess Lilia, which is why he made the mistaken

    Theodore was still a prince, so Wilfred had to give him some respect with outsiders present. Before Sebastian and Lilia entered, Theodore had already risen and stepped aside. So, the moment they stepped in, supporting one another, he saw them immediately.He had expected to see another hideous sight, one so unpleasant that even Wilfred would turn away in disgust. But to his utter shock, Lilia looked remarkably fresh and elegant today. Her face was lightly made up, exquisite and flawless, fair and delicate. Her skin was soft, and her features were bright and captivating.Though her eyes couldn't see, they were clear, sparkling, and strikingly beautiful. There were no dark circles or gaunt cheeks. She was clearly a lovely young lady. And given her status as a princess, she carried herself with nobility and grace, even though she was blind.Theodore could hardly believe his eyes. The hideous figure that had haunted his nightmares and made him feel sick at the thought of her had now bec

    After speaking, Jillian actually scrambled to her feet, as if she meant to throw herself against one of the grand hall's stone columns.Andrew's reflexes were quick. He called out sharply, "Stop her!"A nearby guard dashed forward and caught her just before she could strike the pillar. But she continued to sob and wail, her grief filling the hall, which soon became unbearably noisy.His head throbbing with the clamor, Wilfred waved his hand impatiently.Andrew hurried over. "Lord Lewis, you must calm your daughter at once. His Majesty cares deeply for his people, but she can't be allowed to behave like this!"The words were firm. Philip understood immediately and took action without delay. He rose and went to his daughter, taking her gently in his arms."Jillian, my dear, don't be upset. His Majesty cares for his people as if they were his own. He would never let you be wronged. I promise, he will make this right," he murmured softly.Jillian sobbed quietly, resting against her
