Chapter 176 — We will never accept you as a King.

last update 公開日: 2026-06-24 23:01:49

Prince Ken's POV

The hall had gone from celebration to chaos in under 60 seconds, and I was standing in the middle of it unable to find a single word.

The screen was still playing and the crowd was still reacting. Every second that passed without anyone doing anything made the damage worse, and I knew it, yet I still could not move because the specific, paralyzing feeling of watching your entire life collapse in a public space had taken everything available to me and was using it all just to ke

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 181 — A letter from prison.

    Lord Jones's POVThe cell was smaller than anything I had occupied in my entire life.I had spent decades in rooms built for authority … rooms where the furniture alone communicated that the person sitting in it was not to be taken lightly. Now I had four walls, a narrow bed, and a window positioned at exactly the wrong height to see anything worth looking at.But I had not stopped thinking.That was the thing about people who underestimated me … they always assumed that removing me from a comfortable room was the same as removing me from the game. Unfortunately for them, it was not. It had never been. I had been planning from inside worse situations than this one, and I was not finished.The guard who passed my door at the shift change was a young man named Dario. I had identified him within the first 48 hours … the specific restlessness of someone carrying more debt than their salary could manage. And so, I had requested a brief word with him on the third morning, during the window

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 180 — The abrupt meeting with the council.

    Prince Ken's POVThe answer had landed between us the way honest things landed when they had no decoration around them — clean, certain and with nothing left to argue with.Not even one regret.I had meant it completely, and Liam had known I meant it, and for the space of that morning it had been enough. We had eaten breakfast together in the room … Jenny had arranged for it to be brought up rather than us going to the formal dining room, which I appreciated because the formal dining room required a version of me that I was not ready to perform before eight in the morning — and the conversation had been easy in the way conversations were easy between two people who had stopped needing to manage what they said to each other.Then Jenny knocked again.The second knock of the morning had a different quality from the first. The first had been informational. This one was the knock she used when something required action rather than awareness."Come in," I said.She entered and closed the d

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 179 — The aftermath of the coronation.

    Prince Ken's POVI woke up before the sun had fully risen.The room was quiet…it was the specific quiet of a palace that had not yet started its day, before the staff moved through the corridors and the schedule began and everything that came with being king arrived at the door. I lay still for a moment and listened to it, this particular silence, because I understood already that mornings like this one were going to become rare.Liam was beside me.Still asleep, one arm stretched across the space between us, his face carrying none of the alertness he wore during the day. I think he looked younger when he was asleep, although not in a way that made him seem like less of himself, but in the way that sleep stripped the managed version of a person away and left the real one.I watched him for a moment.Yesterday, I had stood in a coronation hall and put a crown on my own future by saying out loud the thing I had been carrying in silence for weeks. I had watched my uncle be removed by gua

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 178 — Uncle Jones arrested.

    Prince Ken's POVThe hall was still divided as voices were pulling in every direction, while Uncle Jones stood at the front with the satisfied expression of someone who believed the moment was his — when the entrance gates opened.Not quietly. Fully, both sides swinging wide, the kind of entrance that drew every eye in the room before anyone had processed what was happening.A group came through in single file, moving with the specific energy of people who had somewhere to be and were not going to be stopped from getting there. Each of them was carrying a Bahamas flag … the national colours filling the entrance of the coronation hall in a way that nobody had planned for and nobody could ignore.They arranged themselves as they came in, finding their formation naturally, the way people moved when they had agreed on something before they arrived.And at the front of them was Steph.She walked in like someone who had made a decision and was finished second-guessing it … the same Steph wh

  • Puck Me, One More Time   Chapter 177 — Open confession by Prince Ken.

    Prince Ken's POV"I am gay."The words came out clear and certain, and the sound that followed them was unlike anything I had heard in a room before … not one reaction but many, simultaneous, layered on top of each other. There were gasps and also voices cutting across voices. The specific collective sound of a crowd that had been told something they had suspected and had not been prepared for the confirmation anyway.I let it wash over me and did not move.The Archbishop, standing just to my left with the crown still in his hands, had gone completely still in the expression of someone who had conducted hundreds of ceremonies and had never once had one arrive at this particular moment. He looked at the crown. And then he looked at me again. Then he set the crown carefully to one side, because there was nothing in his training that had prepared him for what came next and he was not going to hold it through whatever this was.The side talks multiplied.I heard fragments of them … voices

Every second that passed without anyone doing anything made the damage worse, and I knew it, yet I still could not move because the specific, paralyzing feeling of watching your entire life collapse in a public space had taken everything available to me and was using it all just to keep me upright.Then Jenny moved.She crossed the hall fast, cutting through the frozen stillness of the room with the decisiveness that had always made her indispensable — reached the wall behind the technical setup and pulled the socket from the wall in one clean motion.The screen went dark at that moment.And the silence that followed lasted exactly two seconds.Then Uncle Jones filled it.He was already moving toward the stage … not necessarily rushing though. Rather, he was walking with the
