Cornelius and Baldwin had to keep appearances and didn’t have the same luxury as Matthew and Harry of being themselves and invisible at whim. They had to maintain their image while Matthew and Harry could blend with the crowd, whispering what they wanted to whom they wanted.“Why do you look different than usual?” Aldrin asked with knitted brows as he walked up to Jack; Luckily, he wasn’t too loud and not many people heard him; as for those who heard, they didn’t know the difference and just assumed the change Aldrin was referring to be the clothes he was wearing.“My wife prefers this look when I am among jackals.” Jack laughed smugly, taking the attention away from the essence of the question, making it lighthearted banter.“Such a wife slave…” Aldrin laughed heartily and didn’t ask further; he was smart, he realized there was something wrong with what he said the moment the words left his mouth as he saw not just Mira, but also his sister and the Ward brothers visibly tense up.He
Love garden palace was bustling with activity as the palace gates opened for the birthday celebration feast of the young Lord Amberton. Carriages from all the small and big duchies and estates that had received an invitation kept rolling in without giving the gatekeepers a minute to breathe.Cornelius and his team were rushing for Southamberston when Baldwin suddenly remembered that it was his young tyrant’s birthday feast and they would just make it in time if they rushed.“Let’s head to Thomas’s place otherwise we won’t make it in time for my little tyrant’s birthday feast.” Baldwin shouted out as they reached the cross section where the road divided, one leading to Southamberston and the other to Amberton.“Oh… that is today….” Cornelius pulled his horse back, wrinkling his face in embarrassment.“Amberton is much closer than Southamberston” Harry looked at the duo who looked flustered and comforted “We should be there in plenty of time to help if needed.”“Yes, and no one will be
Jason’s life was smooth sailing compared to the Sleighs although it wasn’t without its fair share of frustration and trepidation.Jason wholeheartedly put all his efforts into winning over Rose’s favor; this wasn’t hard as he had no more distractions with Alina out of the picture. He no longer had to manage his time between the two women. However, what stumped him was his father-in-law-to-be, Duke Rovner’s ice cold attitude.In the past, Duke Rovner was very enthusiastic and warm towards him; it was as If he couldn’t wait to wed his daughter to him and would urge him every few days. But now, his attitude had taken a 360 degree turn ever since the coronation.Duke Rovner’s attitude had started to change shortly after the ceremonial robe competition; initially it was just lukewarm treatment, at least he would give him face before Rose. He would pacify Rose who was clamoring to have their wedding set with the excuse that they couldn’t have any major celebrations before the coronation.How
“It does not have to be real.” Cain leaned forward and whispered in Caster’s ears; he continued “but you have to hurry.”“Elder brother, is our situation really hopeless?” Caster asked in a low voice; he had time to think things through, as the healer was cleaning up his wound. He had heard the healer sigh how heartless his old man’s attack was. Although he was the prodigal son, he wasn’t a fool; he knew that his old man’s so-called soft spot towards him wasn’t because of fatherly affection but rather due to a promise to his mother; this was the reason why his father indulged him indiscriminately. Even a fool would know why someone who indulged him every single day of his life would behave so uncharacteristically, how could he not know?“Um” Cain nodded unwillingly; he didn’t want to burden his foolish little brother, but he had no other choice.The three brothers sat down under the shade of the large tree and once again sank into silence.“Brother, I can make up for most of the amount
“Why are you making trouble like that fool?” Cain scolded Cole once he dragged him out of the room.“How am I making trouble?” Cole frowned before muttering “The Wards are a dead end.”“What do you mean?” Cain pursed his lips as he stared intently at Cole.“That lad will not do anything that displeases his wife.” Cole shook his head helplessly “Don’t tell me you didn’t know the reason why he had moved out of the Ward’s cottage less than a year ago?”“But…” Cain wanted to argue but was cut short by Cole once again in frustration “Don’t tell me that you are counting on Mira to give in considering Jack’s relationship with the Wards?”“Don’t tell me you forgot who her mother is…” Cole sneered without giving Cain a chance to respond and added “She is more vengeful than her mother.”Cain’s eyes became dazed as they lost their luster for a few minutes before regaining his composure; he knitted his brows as he calculated before sighing helplessly “I suppose there is nothing we can do other tha
While Mira’s end was progressing peacefully even with all the excitement, the same could not be said for everyone in the kingdom.The Slegh estate was in an uproar; the old master was on a short fuse blasting his son’s incompetence at every single breath of air they took ever since they returned from the coronation. Not having Lotta to take the fall in their stead, having to take responsibility for something they couldn’t afford, being stripped off all their pretentions in full court made everyone except Caster boil in anger and coil in shame at the same time with the same intensity.Caster was not as bothered as although the whole estate would be impacted, he hadn’t actively participated in the scheme even if he was aware of the plan. He wasn’t even in the area while the incident was unfolding, he was as usual indulging in his vices and to his credit when he arrived, even if his intentions were impure, he had extended an olive branch in the form of assistance, in a gentlemanly manner.
