Your Greatest Mistake Was Me Decree
“The Crown does not need to wait for a crime to happen before taking precautions.” The King's voice cut through the room.Goddammit! I had a feeling this was where things would get worse.“Then Father has every right to consider it a risk. But that doesn't automatically make Lady Seraphina Vermont a threat, let alone mean her family deserves to lose everything they've rightfully earned.”I held my breath. Adrian's words only made my heart beat faster. No matter how right he was, the King could interpret them however he pleased.Besides, Adrian wasn't defending our relationship. He was separating two things the King had deliberately lumped together: his judgment of me and his authority over House Vermont.That was much harder to argue against.The King's face flushed with barely restrained anger. He then turned his gaze toward me, his eyes piercing as though I were the reason his son had grown so bold.“So, you intend to remain by her side?” He turned back to Adrian, though the corner
Your Greatest Mistake Was Me The King's Price
SERAPHINA POVI arrived at the palace the next morning. What else could I do? I had no choice. Who would be crazy enough to refuse a summons from the King? Certainly not me.The difference was noticeable even before I passed through the main gates. Security was tighter. Oh, of course. Perhaps I was carrying a dangerous bomb. Who knew?The corridors were quieter, too. The servants bowed their heads without actually looking at me, as if the entire palace already knew why I was here. Oh, come on. I wasn't asking to be treated with respect. But this cold reception made it feel as though I were about to be executed.Okay, maybe I was exaggerating a little. It made sense for things to be different. Before, I'd only visited the palace for royal events, not because the King himself had summoned me.Or perhaps everyone was simply making up their own reasons.First experiences were always a little difficult.Adrian was waiting for me in the front hall, looking rather grim. The dark circles und
Your Greatest Mistake Was Me Royal Concern
CYRAN POVThe King summoned me before the gala began.That alone shouldn't have been unusual. What concerned me was who else was there.Two senior advisers stood beside his desk, while the Lord Chancellor sat to the King's right. It wasn't often that we all ended up in the same room at the same time. Unless, of course, there was something urgent behind it.Judging by the fire in their eyes, none of them looked particularly pleased to see me.Wonderful.I was here to answer questions, not deliver good news. There wasn't much room for pleasantries. The King started questioning me before I'd even finished bowing."You're aware of the concerns raised by the council," he said."I've heard some of them, Your Majesty. Their complaints have been remarkably consistent. I doubt repeating them would serve any purpose."One of the advisers stiffened, exchanging a coded glance with the other. A code I didn't understand. While The King merely watched me over his clasped hands."They believe my son
Your Greatest Mistake Was Me Political Currency
The invitation arrived two days later.Adrian had kept his word. The envelope contained the gala details, the guest list, and a brief note asking me to let him know if I decided to attend.I appreciated that more than I cared to admit. At least he wasn't forcing me. He was giving me a choice, though I had no idea how he'd react if I turned him down.I only skimmed the guest list. Lysara's name wasn't there. Neither were Magnus's or Vaeldric's. It was a relief to know I could avoid another round of unwanted drama.That was enough for me. I didn't even want to think about what might happen at the event. Better to have people gossiping right in front of me than whispering behind my back, wouldn't you agree?The gala took place at one of the capital's most prestigious hotels.By the time I arrived, the ballroom was already crowded with nobles and politicians, all of whom had mastered the art of looking important without saying anything meaningful.Adrian met me near the entrance.“You cam
Your Greatest Mistake Was Me Open Interest
SERAPHINA POVBy the time Adrian's car pulled away from the palace, my face had become public property.Honestly, I would've preferred going home alone. If he was worried about me, he could've sent a few guards to make sure I arrived in one piece.But Adrian had insisted on bringing me home himself. Under the rather strange excuse, that he wanted to greet my family. Why? The longer I knew him, the more creative he became at justifying his own whims.“Your family must be eager to see you,” Adrian remarked as he settled into the seat beside me.“I'm sure they're eager to hear every detail of what happened inside the palace.”“Should I be worried?”“About what?”“Your family's opinion of me.”I gave him a flat look. He really had become a different person. This was no longer Adrian Valerian, the perfect Crown Prince and every woman’s dream of a future king.“You publicly escorted a newly divorced woman out of court and announced your interest in her. What do you think?”“That I made qu
Your Greatest Mistake Was Me Taking Control
VAELDRIC POVI returned to Ashbourne Manor without stopping for the press. Too noisy.Besides, there was nothing left to explain. The court had delivered its verdict, and any statement I made would only give the reporters more material to twist. I left them outside and went straight to my study.My tablet was already flooded with headlines.CROWN PRINCE ADRIAN PERSONALLY ESCORTS LADY SERAPHINA VERMONT FROM ROYAL COURT.A NEW ROMANCE EMERGES FROM THE ASHBOURNE DIVORCE SCANDAL?I opened the first article.The photograph showed Adrian beside Seraphina on the courthouse steps, his hand resting at her waist as he guided her through the crowd. She looked poised, almost bored by the attention. He looked entirely too pleased with himself.And his hand. For God's sake. The judge had barely brought the gavel down on our divorce, and that hand was already shamelessly wrapped around her waist.I locked the tablet. It was over.Whatever Seraphina chose to do now had nothing to do with me. I had no
