Chapter 538

Auteur: Laughing Riot
Frederick knew very well that Mira was skilled in Hexcraft. His leg had been treated through her methods, using cursed insects to reconnect his damaged sinews. After she was taken to the Court of Justice, the treatments stopped. Even so, Frederick could feel that his leg was much better than before.

Mira could cast hexes, and Freya had been trained to manipulate him. But his feelings for Selena could never change so easily. He loved her too much!

Putting everything together, there was only one explanation. His so-called change of heart had to be the result of a hex. He had been controlled. That had to be it!

"Mother..."

"Fred, calm yourself," Ruth said, gripping his shoulders firmly.

Frederick didn't know whether he had truly calmed down, or if he had simply lost all strength. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and said nothing. His heart ached unbearably. What had once been within his grasp now felt as distant as the stars in the sky.

Ruth knew her son had been drinking heavi

  • Provoking a Graceful Bloom   Chapter 555

    As Adelaide and Isolde exchanged polite conversation, Ruth, who had been so bold and overbearing at the start, suddenly found herself quietly sidelined.Other concubines, such as the mothers of Theodore and Zachary, were not inferior in status to Isolde or Ruth. Yet the former two's positions in the harem were clearly beneath the latter two. So, they sipped their tea in silence, careful not to speak out of turn. They smiled politely and pretended to watch the others, all the while wary of choosing the wrong side.Although the combined influence of Adelaide and Isolde far outweighed Ruth's, her power still rested on her son. Now that Frederick's leg had healed, how much influence she held in the harem depended entirely on him. If he were to become crown prince, even ten queens and Isolde together wouldn't compare.For now, patience was required before choosing sides.Soon, Jeremy arrived. After exchanging formal greetings with Adelaide and the concubines, he approached Nathaniel, wh

    No one could ever guess what Wilfred was thinking, nor would they dare try. But with his leg fully healed, Frederick drew the eyes of nearly every young lady present tonight. For the moment, all attention was on him.Among all the princes in attendance, none was more handsome than Frederick. Nathaniel's younger brother, Oliver, was said to be equally extraordinary in looks, but he rarely attended these gatherings. At any palace banquet, it was unusual to even catch a glimpse of him.So, by all accounts, the most handsome man in the room was undeniably Frederick.The moment she arrived, Ruth noticed how her son drew all the attention, and any lingering gloom she had felt in recent days vanished instantly."Lady Isolde has arrived," Anna whispered beside her.Ruth looked up and saw Isolde entering, accompanied by Edith. The arrival of two royal concubines immediately quieted the room. The young ladies present might have had much to gossip about, but no one dared speak. With Ruth and

    When Mira arrived, her entrance immediately caused a stir."Even though the Luminous Monarch is of King Salvador's bloodline, he was given the title of a lesser prince, and now has a distinguished status. Lady Whitmore is truly fortunate. Being brought back at this time makes her one of the very few officially recognized county duchesses of Aurensia," said someone in the crowd.Indeed, Aurensia had only a handful county duchesses who were personally granted their titles by Wilfred. Among the unmarried noblewomen of the capital, Mira's standing was unparalleled. Many young nobles had come tonight hoping to merely catch a glimpse of her beauty, while some had even come with the hope of winning her favor."She's stunning.""She truly is worthy of a title bestowed by His Majesty. Her bearing and beauty are truly exceptional.""Is that Prince Frederick walking with her?""Yes, why is it Prince Frederick?""Has his leg healed?""Wasn't it supposed to be impossible?"Frederick approa

    "I never would have imagined that the daughter of a distinguished minister would dress in sheer silk just to... entice Prince Theodore. And she even did it in front of all those men?""Now that Prince Nathaniel mentions it, I think I've heard something similar. Before her marriage, Lady Jillian did keep pestering Prince Theodore, didn't she?""You actually saw her dance like that?""No, but if the Obsidian Monarch himself says it, who's to doubt him?""That's true. Prince Nathaniel's status is far too exalted for him to lie.""Lady Jillian is shameless, truly shameless."The whispers continued, low but persistent. No matter how quiet, enough of them reached Jillian's ears to make her blood boil."I didn't! I didn't! Prince Nathaniel is slandering me! I..." she shouted.But no one paid her any mind. Just as she had left Sebastian and Lilia with no chance to respond earlier, now no one would grant her an explanation."This is called using one's own tactics against them. When the

    "What do you mean by that?"The words felt like a dagger to Jillian's heart.Back then, Theodore had indeed told her not to pester him anymore. When she kept trying, he even ordered someone to drive her away.She had considered going to her father and asking him to appeal to Wilfred for justice, but Theodore had threatened her, saying that if she dared involve the king, not a single person in her household would escape.Later, Theodore appeared at her door for no clear reason. He didn't do a thing, yet ended up lying beside her. By dawn, they were discovered. And so, it followed naturally that she became his princess consort.However, many of the spoiled young men in Theodore's circle knew the story of how he had previously abandoned her."Lady Campbell, you think—" Jillian turned, only to freeze completely.Beauty and beast! One like a fierce warrior, the other like an ethereal maiden. One inspiring fear, the other making young ladies seethe with envy!Jillian had spent so lon

    The whispers weren't loud, but they carried clearly to Lilia's ears. Her face immediately flamed bright red. Theodore had always disliked his wife causing a scene, but seeing Sebastian and Lilia's embarrassment now gave him a small measure of satisfaction.Sebastian's expression darkened, his voice cold and measured as he said, "Princess Lilia is staying at Blackmoor Estate because—""Oh, Lord Campbell, you wouldn't dare suggest that you and Her Highness have no connection, would you? How cruel to say such a thing to Princess Lilia herself!" Jillian cut in, smiling brightly as she gave him no chance to explain himself to the crowd."Princess Lilia has devoted herself to you, even living at Blackmoor Estate for your sake. And now you say you have nothing to do with her? Are you going to abandon her after starting something?" she added.Sebastian's face flushed red from anger. "Mind your words, Your Highness! Princess Lilia and I—""Oh, enough of that. Even if you don't like Her Hig
