Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 91 – LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH
JULIANLeaving the palace, I had more questions than answers. It was clear father was shaken by what happened. Maybe because it was similar to how grandfather died. Also, he was hiding something. Not about the assassination attempt, some else. The way he looked told me that whatever he was hiding was something that could shake the kingdom’s very foundation.“Tom, did you hear what that assassin said before attacking the king?” Tom ran his hand though his head. “I am sorry, Your Highness, I was too focused on the others that I didn’t pay attention to anything else.” I heard him, the anger in his voice, the hatred. It sounded like someone who lost something important.“He said that you let your bastard kill the Dowager, now you die with her. something along those lines.” I turned to him fully. “We both know who poisoned the Queen Dowager.” Tom listened attentively. “No one els
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 90 – TIME TO LET GO
KINGIn front of my guards, I maintained the smile I wore before. But inside my sleeve my hands trembled uncontrollably. If Julian had not thrown himself on me, that arrow would have struck me and embedded itself in throat. I would have died. The day my own father died flashed through my mind.It was the Automn banquet. The mood was lively, music playing just like today. People laughing and drinking. Then suddenly one of the dancers leaped through the air with a knife in hand. The guards didn’t react in time because by the time they got her off him. The knife she was holding was embedded on his chest.Dark red blook stained his dragon ropes. It took me a moment to register what had happened. By the time it registered, imperial physicians surrounded him. father was pronounced dead on the spot. That was only a month after Helena’s mother was kicked out of the palace. A month of tragedies in the palace.The Autumn ban
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 89 – THE ATTACK
JULIAN The Regent’s manor has never looked more beautiful and livelier than it did in that moment. The entire courtyard had been decorated with red and gold silk; flowers lined the stone pathways and musicians played as the nobles arrived from every corner of the kingdom to witness my wedding. Servants hurried around carrying trays of food and wine while guards stood at every entrance, making sure nothing could disturb the celebration. Today, I was finally marrying Helena. After everything we had endure, after every threat and obstacle that had tried to keep us apart. Today, she would finally become my wife. She should have been the only thing on my mind this day. Instead, I couldn’t shake the strange feeling that something was about to happen. “Shadow.” My guard appeared. “Strengthen security, add more guards all around the manor. Nothing could go wrong today.” He nodded and left. The ceremony was about to begin; I looked towards the entrance as another group of guests arrived. I
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 88 – DENIAL
MARK I stared at them fore a moment before a smile slowly spread across my face. Then I laughed. “You old fools will say anything to get me on your side.” They exchanged looks, but I wasn’t finished. “You lost in the capital. You failed to get the King to abdicate and when your little rebellion failed, you ran.”I stepped closet to them, my smile disappearing. “Now you are hiding here like rats and spouting nonsense, hoping I will believe whatever story you tell me.” I shook my head. “You think I can be manipulated that easily?” The minister of Revenue remained silent but the man beside him leaned forward. “We are not trying to manipulate you, Your Highness.” I scoffed. “Then what are you doing?” they thought I was easy, someone who couldn’t think for himself. A pawn they could use however they pleased. They were wrong. “Telling you the truth.” He could act, I would give him that. The sincerity in his eyes as he said that. If I wasn’t raised by father, I would have believed him. Bu
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 87 – YOU ARE NOT THE KING’S SON
MARK “Your Highness, bad news.” I was busy giving orders to the workers who were building the second orphanage in Qing City. The one in the capital was running smoothly and since then. My name was talked about in a good way and not as the useless prince who visited brothels and change women every day. It gave me a sense of pride and I felt seen. Now I understood why Julian did it. But it was still taking a lot from my funds. If I didn’t control the salt routes and merchant. I would have ran out of funds by now. By the time I open a third one. My name would be known all over, and father would call me back to the capital himself and offer me the Crown Prince title.“What is it, I am busy.” He lowered his head and apologised. Then got closer to me and whispered. “The Queen Dowager’s faction attacked in the capital; they were trying to force themselves into the palace and get the king to abdicate.” What? I was only gone for two weeks and something like that happened.They were brave, bu
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 86 – MOTHER’S PEOPLE
THE KING “Your Majesty, they are moving.” I had been keeping a close eye on mother’s people. I thought they would act early after she was incapacitated, but they waited four months to act. “What are they doing?” his facial expression told me it wasn’t good. “They moved troops closer to the capital; some have already entered as merchants.”I stood and went to look out the window. Mother was as good as dead, and they still thought they could act against me. How foolish. “Get everyone ready, I want us prepared for anything.” I turned and went to my desk. I wrote a few lines on a piece of paper and handed it to him. “Hand this to the Regent personally.” He bowed and left. He was the Regent, him helping me was his duty. I stayed in the study for two hours before Julian showed up. “Father, what seems to be the matter?” I studied him for a moment; he looked happy and healthier than all the years his been in the palace. “When are you holding your wedding?” “When are you abdicating?” I frow
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 2– DANGER
HELENA I thought I could go on after that. But I didn’t even take five steps before my body refused to cooperate. I looked back, I was already far from the palace, it wouldn’t hurt to rest. I spotted bushes not far from the road. I slowly walked there, dragging my throbbing foot. When I got to the
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 1-The Escape
HELENA “Fire, everyone out! there is a fire.” Smoke choked me before I was fully awake. I coughed rushing out of the servants’ quarters. When I got outside it was chaos, maids and guards running around like headless chickens with buckets of water trying to put out the fire. I stood there in daze w
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 6– THE JOURNY
HELENA The silence after his words felt heavier than anything he had said before. I didn’t speak again; there was nothing left to argue with. He had already decided I was something still unfinished and that was somehow worse than being worthless. I needed to leave, get the hell out of there. with
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 7– SAFE HAVEN, ALMOST
HELENA The forest felt different when I was alone in it. not emptier. Just honest. Every sound mattered now. every snap of a branch. Every shift in the wind. Every breath I tried to keep steady. There was no one left to decide what I was worth. No one left to watch. Only the path. Only me.I follo
