Chapter 99

Author: Laughing Riot
Yuvan stood outside the window, speaking in a low voice, "My lady, something happened at the palace tonight. It seems Prince Elias was injured and had to be carried back inside."

Selena's heart tightened. "Someone tried to assassinate him?"

Elias currently resided in Concord Palace. Though it lay near the outer edge of the grounds, it was still very much within the palace walls. That someone could attack him there meant Aurensia couldn't escape blame.

Yuvan continued, "The details are still unclear. I heard he was carried in from outside. Earlier, Mr. Walsh and the others pursued whoever was responsible. After nearly half an hour, they returned with Prince Elias."

"Has His Majesty sent anyone to investigate?"

Yuvan shook his head. "No."

Selena frowned. "No?"

It was such a serious matter. Why hadn't Wilfred sent someone to investigate?

"On Prince Elias' side, no one has been held accountable. He claimed he was injured by accident and asked His Majesty not to make it public. Few

    Selena appeared in front of Nathaniel about half an hour later. Seeing the blood at his feet, a dull ache began throbbing at her temple."Your Highness, you're wounded. Shouldn't you return to Obsidian Estate to see a physician?"He remained seated in her garden, letting the blood from his injuries stain the ground. She had waited for thirty minutes, hoping he would rise and leave of his own accord. Yet, he refused to move.If he were to bleed to death here, would the blame fall upon her family? Lately, misfortune seemed to arrive at the Duke of Blackmoor's household in endless succession, and she feared the next calamity might simply overwhelm them."Your Highness, shouldn't you hurry back to tend to your injuries?"There was blood everywhere. Wasn't he afraid of dying from blood loss?Nathaniel finally lifted his head and regarded her. Beneath the mask, she could clearly see that his face was pale as paper, clearly drained of blood."Your Highness, do you need me to have someo

    It was the Moonreaver!Nathaniel was actually holding that legendary blade in his hand! Renowned throughout the Northern Frontier, the weapon was said to weigh over a hundred pounds, forged from steel as black as night and gleaming with a deadly chill.Scouts had once reported from the battlefield, trembling as they spoke, that a single strike from the blade could sever the heads of dozens of soldiers at once. At the Northern Frontier, the very sight of it made the enemy flee in terror."He's holding the Moonreaver! It's really the Moonreaver!" Elias' eyes shone with a fierce excitement. "Damon, fetch my weapon immediately!"The audacity of that man, coming here with the Moonreaver!Elias had expected him to come, but not with such ferocity. The Dawnmerian prince could hardly contain himself. He had never seen the true power of the Moonreaver before. Clearly, Selena held an utterly unshakable position in Nathaniel's heart."Damon!" he called again.Damon's face turned pale with

    No one, not even those closest to him, truly understood why Elias had proposed to Selena.Unable to contain her curiosity, Lilia asked, "Elias, did you know Lena before all this?"He shook his head.Lilia pressed on, "Then, why ask her to marry you? She looked positively terrified of you!""Lady Campbell is a true beauty. In all your years in Dawnmere, have you ever seen a woman fairer than she?" Elias gave a faint, almost amused smile. "A beautiful lady is a desirable match for any gentleman. Is it any wonder that I wish to marry her?"Lilia blinked in disbelief. "You're hardly the sort to chase after beauty. If you were, none of the women sent to you would have been returned untouched."Indeed, there had been no shortage of lovely young ladies paraded in front of Elias, each with their own charms. Some were full-figured, while others were slight and delicate. Regardless, he had never so much as glanced at them.So, Lilia couldn't help feeling that it was rather odd for her bro

    "He's fond of your honesty and straightforwardness now, but you must be careful not to let him suspect that you have hidden motives. Right now, he treasures your innocence and candor above all else. Do not let the image he has of you be tarnished," said Mira.She narrowed her eyes and coldly added, "Sebastian and Selena destroyed our family. We'll settle that grudge, no matter what!"For now, they lacked the means to take revenge on their own. To achieve their goal, they would have to rely on Frederick's influence."But after we've taken our revenge, will I still be able to be with Frederick?" Freya asked softly.Mira frowned. "Have you truly fallen for him?"Freya lowered her gaze and said nothing."If he still cares for you, then becoming his princess consort could serve our cause, at least for restoring our family's honor. But if you are nothing more than an unnamed companion at his side, what influence would you have?" said Mira."Then, I shall make him marry me. I'll become

    In the end, Freya was persuaded to return.But tonight felt different somehow. She let Frederick stay in her chambers."Frederick, I don't want to be apart from you tonight."Once she closed the door, she faced him and slowly removed each layer of her clothing.Frederick stiffened, heat rising to his cheeks. "Fey, didn't we agree that we'll wait until we're married?"As a prince, he could have given in, of course. How many men of royal or noble blood had women in their lives once they came of age? But having known Selena for many years, Frederick had grown accustomed to keeping himself disciplined and honorable around her.Perhaps Selena's character wasn't flawless, and she was always scheming in some way. But in this, her virtue was impeccable. She never let him touch her, and had made it clear that they must wait until their wedding day. Frederick's habit of keeping himself chaste had been instilled in him by her.Even with Freya, though he sometimes got so angry that he rippe
