THEIR REJECTED DAUGHTER WAS THE LOST HEIRESS Chapter 101: The Royal Adviser
POV: KAELENThe subterranean interrogation cell beneath the High Judicial Court smelled of damp granite, iron rust, and burnt tallow.Across the low stone table sat High Adviser Donald, a senior nobleman who had served the crown for over thirty years. His gray hair was neatly combed, his rich velvet robes trimmed with marten fur, and his face completely devoid of fear. Even with heavy iron manacles bolted to his wrists, he carried himself with the smooth, condescending elegance of a man who believed he was entirely above the law.Two years ago, when Vance brought the altered Frostwood ledgers to the capital court, it was Donald who had stood before the assembly and signed Aria’s formal conviction without a single moment of hesitation.I stood near the arched stone doorway, my broad arms folded over my silver armor, my blue eyes burning with a cold, lethal rage. Beside me, Rowan leaned against the granite wall, a silent, imposing shadow of iron strength."You are wasting your time, Lor
THEIR REJECTED DAUGHTER WAS THE LOST HEIRESS Chapter 100: The Name
POV: LYRAThe wind howling through the watchtower’s broken stone arches felt like needles against my skin.I stayed on my knees in the dust, clutching the edge of my gray traveling cloak as I looked up at Aria. She stood above me like a statue of carved granite, cold, unyielding, and surrounded by the quiet, terrifying light of her royal wolf.I knew she hated me. She had every right to leave me in the snow to rot. But looking into her dark eyes, I finally understood the difference between us. I had spent two years running from my own shadow, while Aria had walked through the fires of Coldspire and come out forged in steel."Speak, Lyra," Aria commanded, her tone cutting through the freezing draft like a blade. "Who signed the transfer order?"I took a sharp, shuddering breath, trying to force my trembling lips to form the name that had kept me awake for nights on end."The merchant with the silver signet ring... he took his orders directly from the High Judicial Bench," I rasped out,
THEIR REJECTED DAUGHTER WAS THE LOST HEIRESS Chapter 99: Trusting Lyra
POV: ARIA The parchment felt heavy in my fingers, the crimson ink staring back at me like an unhealed wound.“Trust the sister you rejected.”I crumpled the slip of paper in my fist, my knuckles turning white. A cold, dangerous fury flared in my chest, threatening to ignite the silver-gold light dormant within my veins."She is lying," I said, my voice sharp enough to slice through the cold mountain draft filling the outpost. "Lyra has spent her entire life hiding behind tears and playing the victim. She poisoned Luna Elena, she pointed the finger at me to save her own skin, and now she wants me to believe she is a secret operative working to save Rowan?""Aria," Kaelen said softly, stepping closer to the worktable. His voice carried no judgment, only the heavy burden of a brother who had watched our family fracture into pieces. "She was the one who unlocked the sub-vault console. The Directorate guard we captured at the gate confirmed that an insider matching Lyra's height used an a
THEIR REJECTED DAUGHTER WAS THE LOST HEIRESS Chapter 98: The Unknown Ally
POV: ROWANThe heavy iron dust cleared slowly, revealing Chancellor Vane standing in the ruined doorway.Beside him lay two Directorate sentinels, unconscious on the stone floor. But Vane was not holding a weapon. His hands were bound tightly behind his back with iron wire, a thick leather gag stuffed into his mouth, his eyes wide with sheer, helpless terror.Before I could process the sight of the High Chancellor dragged into my torture cell as a hostage, a dark, hooded figure stepped out of the swirling smoke behind him.The warrior wore a set of unmarked, jet-black leather armor, their face obscured by a seamless steel half-mask that caught the dim torchlight. Without uttering a single word, the stranger shoved Chancellor Vane onto his knees against the cold granite floor.The masked figure drew a heavy, razor-sharp curved dagger. With two blindingly fast, precise strikes, the warrior severed the heavy runic chains binding my wrists and ribs.CRACK!The iron manacles fell away, cla
THEIR REJECTED DAUGHTER WAS THE LOST HEIRESS Chapter 97: THE ROOM
POV: ROWANThe taste of copper and silver-ash hung thick on my tongue.For six hours, the Directorate’s lead inquisitor had not stopped his work. I hung suspended by heavy iron manacles bolted to the vaulted stone ceiling, my feet barely skimming the freezing granite floor of the cell. Heavy runic chains bit into my wrists and ribs, constantly pulsing with faint, sickening purple light that suppressed my core wolf and made every breath feel like drawing broken glass into my lungs.Across the small, windowless chamber stood the inquisitor, a thin man in a pristine black velvet coat, meticulously cleaning a slender alchemical bone-needle with a linen cloth."Let us try again, Lord Rowan," he said, his voice flat, polite, and entirely devoid of human warmth. "The silver-gold fire she unleashed in the amphitheater. What are its exact spiritual parameters? How many minutes can her physical body sustain the output before the heat burns out her nervous system?"I spat a mouthful of dark, blo
THEIR REJECTED DAUGHTER WAS THE LOST HEIRESS Chapter 96: ROWAN’S CAPTURE
POV: ARIAThe war room of the upper garrison was dead silent, save for the crackling of pine logs in the stone hearth and the heavy, rhythmic thumping of my boots against the floorboards."You cannot leave the palace, Aria," Kaelen said, his voice hard, sharp, and laced with absolute frustration as he stepped into my path. "The High Council has locked the gates, and the Directorate is watching every street. Chancellor Vane wants you out in the open. Going into the outer districts right now is exactly what the enemy wants to lure you into a trap."I stopped pacing, my dark eyes locking onto his with an unyielding, freezing glare."And what would you have me do, Kaelen?" I asked, my voice dangerously quiet. "Sit by the hearth and wait for another blood-stained courier to bring me his ring? I spent two years trapped in a stone cell because I let other people dictate where I should stay for my own 'safety.' I am not hiding in a palace while the man who stood at my back is dragged through
