Royal Sins Chapter 30- Bruises
Atlas paced around his chambers like a caged wolf. Every shadow on the wall looked like one of Gaius’s spies. Every distant footstep made his stomach twist.He stopped near the open balcony doors, gripping the stone railing. Jacob was out there somewhere, hurt, hunted and alone because he had dared to love a man who couldn’t protect him.“God, what have I done?” He mumured to himself.Soft voices drifted from the hallway. Two servants whispering just outside his door.“…I heard there was an illegal raid on that farmer’s cottage. Soldiers tore the place apart…”“…you mean the foreign farmer? Becareful the palace is involved. It’s about stolen royal fabric…”Atlas’s blood turned to ice. He stepped closer to the door, heart hammering, when it suddenly burst open.Phillip stumbled in, breathing hard. With a shallow cut on his cheek.“Jacob is alive,” Phillip said immediately, closing the door behind him. “But he’s hurt. We need to leave. Now.”Relief crashed through Atlas so hard his knee
Royal Sins Chapter 29- Raiders and Buried Hatred
Jacob walked through the village square with his head down and a basket of fresh herbs slung over his shoulder. He had barely slept after storming out of Phillip’s hut.Then he heard two women by the well reduce their voices as he passed, but not low enough.“…the palace soldiers are asking questions about the foreign farmer.”“They are investigating him, so I heard.”Jacob’s steps faltered. His blood ran cold. Why would the palace be investigating me? The answer hit him like a punch to the gut, he remembered the conversation he had overheard in the forest. Gaius blackmailing Atlas. The sketches. The three-day threat.“Is this about Gaius’s threat?” He thought.In the palace, as Prince Atlas walked through the grand hall. Servants bowed, but their eyes lingered too long. Whispers followed him like shadows. Phillip appeared at his side. He leaned in close while pretending to adjust Atlas’s cloak. “Gaius isn’t sticking to his words by waiting for the three days. He’s moving faster than
Royal Sins Chapter 28- Safe House
The sound of horses faded into the night, leaving only the heavy breathing of three men hidden among the trees. Atlas’s heart still hammered like war drums. Jacob’s body pressed warm against his side, tense and vibrating.Phillip wiped sweat from his brow and spoke first. “I know a place. An old hut I built years ago when the palace pressure got too much. No one knows about it. We can pass the night there and figure this mess out together.”Atlas nodded sharply. Jacob said nothing, but his fingers brushed Atlas’s wrist, more like a silent agreement. They moved like shadows through the forest, every snap of a twig making them freeze. Atlas has never felt this tense. One wrong step and Gaius wouldn’t just expose them, he would destroy them.The hut was small but solid, hidden deep in a thick grove with a stream running behind it. Phillip pushed the door open, the wood creaking softly. “I built this to hide from work when I first started. Never thought I’d bring the Crown Prince and his…
Royal Sins Chapter 27- Broken Branches
Jacob stood in the doorway of his cottage long after Atlas and Phillip had. His hands gripped the wooden frame so tightly. The warmth of Atlas’s soft kiss still lingered on his lips.He kept replaying everything, the tension in Atlas’s shoulders, the way Phillip had kept looking back like he expected arrows from the trees, the fear in Atlas eyes.“Something is wrong,” Jacob whispered to his empty house. He could feel it. He had opened his home, introduced Atlas to his family, given him every piece of himself. And still, the prince kept secrets.He couldn’t take it anymore.Jacob grabbed his dark cloak, blew out the lantern, and slipped out into the night. He ran silently along the path, following the faint sound of footsteps ahead. He needed answers and was determined to get it that night.Atlas walked beside Phillip, every muscle in his body felt heavy. The palace was still abit far from them, but the forest path felt safer that night. They had already stopped twice, their ears strai
Royal Sins Chapter 26- Truth Or Ruin
A frantic knock, woke Jacob up. Jacob bolted up in bed. The knock came again, desperate, like someone was trying to break the door down. He grabbed the knife he kept beside his bed and crept toward the entrance.“Jacob! Open up!”It was Atlas’s voice.Jacob yanked the door open. Atlas stormed inside immediately, out of breath with his golden hair messy from the ride. He was panicking. Without a word, he slammed the door shut, locked it, then rushed to the windows, peeping through the curtains like he’s been followed. Jacob lowered the knife slowly. “Atlas…”Atlas ignored him, moving to the back window to check. His hands trembled.“Atlas,” Jacob said again.Still nothing.Then Atlas spun around, crossed the room, and grabbed Jacob by the shoulders.“If something happens to you…” Atlas’s voice cracked. “I don’t know what I’ll do. I can’t…”Jacob’s stomach twisted. “What happened?” He cupped Atlas’s face, forcing their eyes to meet. “Tell me, what’s going on?”Atlas looked away, dod
Royal Sins Chapter 25- Three Days
Atlas dragged his feet down to his chambers, shoulders heavy from exhaustion and guilt. Every step felt like wading through mud. The confrontation with Jacob earlier that day kept replaying in his head. He just wanted to collapse into bed and forget the world for a few hours. But the moment he turned the corner toward his private chambers, everything inside him went ice-cold. The doors were slightly open. His own guards were nowhere in sight. Instead, two tall figures stood at attention, his father’s personal guards. Tension spiked through Atlas like lightning. He ignored them and pushed the doors open slowly. There, sitting comfortably in Atlas’s favorite high-backed chair like he owned the room, was Prince Gaius. With one leg crossed over the other and a glass of Atlas’s finest wine swirling in his hand. “Brother,” Gaius greeted with a warm smile. “You missed dinner again. You’ve been overworking yourself lately. It’s like you’re using all this duty to distract yourself f
