Second chance at happiness Princess or not, to covet her husband was courting death!
“Cough… cough…” Baldwin coughed lightly, attracting both Jerome and Bari’s attention before subtly gesturing them with his eyes to continue, that the whole court was waiting for him to speak.“Ahem…” Bari tried to clear his throat with a sheepish grin as he walked back to where his men were standing, Credi in the lead. He straightened his posture as he turned to face Orseus “Gotta few weeds that we pulled out from the land. My good friend suggested returning them to where they came in style.”He let out a long sigh as he continued “Unfortunately a weasel escaped from my trap…” He shrugged carelessly “Not a bother, they always come back for more when the memory fades...” He punched his fist into his other hand “And this time, I will be waiting.”“You are right about the weasel…. Ha…ha..ha..” Corenlius laughed, thoroughly humoured by Bari’s theatrics; he didn’t know Bari had this side to him. He was all quiet and gloomy when they last met but that is justifiable, no one would be able to

Everyone’s gaze moved from Linus to the figure kneeling on the ground. Although it wasn’t a young man who was kneeling on the ground, his agility and strength was commendable, considering he had struck down the protector who was undefeated in combat even if he was attacked while he was sleeping and no one saw it happening. However, the weird thing was that he wasn’t kneeling before Orseus but before Jerome.Jerome waved his hand dismissing the man, who promptly stood up and resumed his position behind Jerome.“How dare you?” Princess Qin Ruiyin slapped the armrest of the chair she was sitting on and jumped up in rage after a minute of being shocked by the lifeless body of her protector who had shielded her from the day she was born.“You will pay dearly for this.” She raged as she wiped the blood from her face and took out a whistle and blew it in one full sweep.“I am afraid the princess is going to be disappointed.” Commander Killion who was silent till now stepped forward with a sm

“Still not stepping down?” Jerome hooked his eyebrows, disdain clearly written all over his face.Hadrian could only step down, his fist clenched as he swallowed the humiliation silently.Jerome looked at the two groups and walked towards the red side and stood next to Baldwin.“Worthington do you know what you are voting for?” Cornelius asked as his lips curled up in a corner not visible to anyone.“Not needed…” Jerome waved his hand “I stand on the side my brother would have stood.”Cornelius chuckled but soon covered it with a cough as he was elbowed by the queen reminding him where he was. ‘The devil was back in form.’“Is there a need to continue casting votes?” One of the dukes asked as he looked at Cassian who was standing on his own. Regardless of what Northington voted for, the majority was already decided.Orseus cast a sidelong glance at his father; Cornelius nodded.“Regardless of the result, everyone has a say…. The right for their voice to be heard and written into the pa

“Amberton, state your vote.” Corenlius continued the notion even though he knew what his sworn brother would vote for.Baldwin, too walked to the red side of the casket and stopped beside Mira “We vote for honour.” He paused as he looked towards the place where Viktor and his cronies were seated and continued “We stand for loyalty that is steadfast and committed, committed to our values from the establishment of our great kingdom by our ancestors. Amberton stands for Hal that is just, one that isn’t tainted by vested interests and hidden agendas.”Alaistair and Cassian snorted inwardly although they maintained a stiff smile on their face.Before Cornelius could call for the next vote, Hadrian walked forward to cast his vote but paused as he saw Linus too had taken a few steps forward. He spoke with hesitation, a conflicted expression gracing his face although he was gritting his teeth inwardly “Brother, I think you should sit this one out considering you have not been involved with the

“How about we get everyone to cast their vote first?” Alaistair asked once again, after waiting for a few minutes in vain and not getting a response from both father and son.“Somerstone lost their chance to vote a long time ago.” Cornelius’s voice wasn’t loud, but it had a deterrent force that made everyone shudder inwardly. His lips curled up in contempt as he continued “But I do like my half-brother’s idea of calling a vote of all the duchies.” He emphasized the word ‘half-brother’ as his gaze filled with mockery fell directly on Alaistair.Cornelius’s purpose was twofold; not only was he reminding Alaistair and everyone in court of his true identity but also reminding, more warning than reminding, the soldiers of Northington who their true master was; this would justify their punishment should they choose to ignore this warning when they make their stand.Alaistair frowned as he wondered what schemes lay behind the blatant insult but soon put it to the back of his mind as he had mo

Back at the throne room, the small interlude due to the disturbance caused by a stray pigeon entering had just subsided and everyone diverted their attention back to the envoys.“Stay alert.” Baldwin warned Jack and Thomas in a low voice while the princess’s protector’s voice boomed through the hall, his face flushed red with anger “Your highness, are you going to allow this kind of blatant insult of your esteemed guests?”However, before Orseus got to respond, the court was once again interrupted by the entry of Aglaya, who came in with her entourage of guards, with Commander Killion in the lead. Aglaya smiled and waved magnanimously towards her subjects as she walked through the centre, all the way to the seat by Cornelius’s side.No one noticed Jack stepping to the back of the room, a secluded corner near the window, nor did anyone notice Mira who appeared beside him, it looked like she had appeared from behind the curtain; they quietly returned to their positions without attracting
