Reborn to Rewrite the Throne Chapter 9
Ava stared at the Queen Consort in disbelief.“Your Majesty… I have not yet given the Crown Prince an heir. How can you bring other women into his household?”The Queen Consort looked at her coolly.“I gave you time,” she said.“And what have you given in return?”Her voice remained calm, but every word carried weight.“The succession of the royal house cannot wait indefinitely. This is not merely your marriage—it concerns the stability of the kingdom.”The message was unmistakable.Ava’s wishes were irrelevant.By the end of the banquet the entire capital had heard the news.Princess Hazel was with child.The Crown Princess had caused a scandal.And the Queen Consort had formally approved two noble daughters to enter the Crown Prince’s household the following month.The city buzzed with gossip.On the day the new ladies were presented at the Crown Prince’s residence, half the nobility of the capital attended the ceremony.Alexander and I did not.I claimed fatigue from my pregnancy.T

The hall erupted into delighted murmurs.“How fortunate Princess Hazel is,” one noblewoman exclaimed warmly. “Only a few months after her marriage and already with child. Congratulations, Your Highness.”Servants hurried from the hall to deliver the news.“Quickly—inform Prince Alexander at once.”Ladies gathered around me in excitement.“Congratulations, Princess Hazel.”Among them, Ava Miller stepped forward slowly.“Congratulations, dear sister,” she said with a soft smile that did not reach her eyes.“I hear that since entering Prince Alexander’s household you have remained his only companion. No… other attachments. No discreet friendships. No ladies quietly installed in nearby estates.”A few ladies exchanged glances.In noble households it was hardly unusual for a powerful man to keep a mistress—openly or discreetly.Ava’s smile widened slightly.“Such devotion from a husband is rare indeed. Perhaps that explains why you have been blessed so quickly.”She tilted her head as thoug

Alexander was waiting for me beside the palace gates.I glanced once at him before turning back to Ava.“You should spend less time worrying about me,” I said calmly. “I never wanted the Crown Prince, and I never competed with you for him. If you truly wish to keep your place, you would be wiser to learn how to be a proper Crown Princess.”My gaze lingered on her pale face.“Otherwise, you will only continue losing what little you have.”After that day, Ava Miller was rarely spoken of in the capital.Though she had become Crown Princess, she had also become the subject of endless quiet ridicule—the bride who had been neglected on her very wedding night.I saw her again several months later at the Harvest Moon Banquet held at the palace.The Queen Consort had placed her in charge of hosting the evening.Ava sat beside the Queen at the head of the long table, dressed in elaborate court silks and wearing the jewels the Queen had once gifted her. She spoke animatedly with the noble ladies

The musicians struck up their instruments again, and the bridal procession resumed its slow, stately movement.Our carriage passed the Crown Prince where he stood frozen in the road, the celebration moving around him like a tide that had already forgotten he existed.Alexander and I were married that day in a ceremony so flawless that even the most critical members of the court could find nothing to whisper about.But rumors soon spread that the Crown Prince’s wedding had been far less graceful.Ethan had arrived late to fetch his bride.Ava Miller, though displeased, could hardly abandon the opportunity before her. The title of Crown Princess was far too intoxicating to refuse, and in the end she entered the wedding carriage with forced composure.Yet the display of her marriage settlements stirred another storm among the citizens gathered along the streets.Only eighteen bridal chests followed her procession.The murmurs began quietly, then grew louder.“Eighteen? Surely that cannot

Prince Alexander caught me before I lost my balance and pulled me gently to his side. Then he turned to Ethan, his voice cold.“As my future wife, why should Hazel not wear the bridal colors of a princess?”His gaze sharpened.“And why does the Crown Prince presume to demand her fortune and her gown as if she were still under his authority? Do you not fear what such behavior might do to your reputation once the court hears of it?”Ethan stared at us, confusion flickering across his face.“Future wife?” he repeated blankly.“That was nothing more than Hazel trying to provoke me. A childish attempt to gain my attention.”I smiled faintly.“Your Highness, I already made my choice in the Great Hall. I said plainly that I would marry Prince Alexander. It is simply that you refused to believe me.”I inclined my head politely.“You and Lady Ava love each other deeply. I have no intention of standing between you. I wish you both a long and harmonious marriage.”Alexander’s arm slipped lightly

In the capital, when a daughter of a great house married, her marriage settlement was displayed openly—estates transferred, jewels catalogued, chests sealed under heraldic crests. A bride of royal rank was expected to arrive with wealth befitting her future station. Anything less invited speculation, and speculation in court society was a form of cruelty.I did not know what Ava had whispered to Ethan, but the very next morning he arrived at my residence unannounced.He did not bother with pleasantries.“Hazel,” he began bluntly, “if you still intend to enter my household, I will honor what I said. But you must understand your position.”“My position?” I repeated evenly.“Ava is my future wife,” he continued. “Her marriage portion is… modest. Yours, however, is excessive. If you were to reside under my protection, it would be inappropriate for your settlements to eclipse hers.”I stared at him in silence.“She is too gentle to demand it,” he added, as though praising virtue, “...but
