"Just tell me anything." I said."Hmm. Well, I had some paperworks I needed to sign. Grandpa has a lot of projects ongoing right now including an orphanage but it was delayed due to financial issues. I asked my cousins to check on it and it seems there was a lot of corruption going on with grandpa's project. Then the royal council arrived and asked me about you." He paused and took a deep breath."They were starting to question my marriage to you. You know because of tradition. So when I saw you earlier, I was really surprised. I don't want them to question me further. I'm sorry I took it out on you." He continued."I'm sorry." I whispered."It's fine. It's also my fault for not telling you anything.

We arrived at Queen’s to see Peggy and her son. I was so excited to see them. I know Kyle feels the same but he was still mad at her sister for not talking to him.I heard footsteps from the stairs and saw Peggy. I know she was feeling nervous but relieved to see her grandfather in good shape. "Margaret!" Grandpa said while giving her a hug.Ever since Peggy went missing, he would always visit her room in the palace every night. He was really worried. Looking at him right now, I know he was happy to see her granddaughter.I walked towards Peggy and hugged her tight."How are you?" I asked."I-I'm okay." She stuttered while glancing at her brother.

Ever since she was born, they considered her a curse, a trash and a nobody. She was the eldest child of the Anderson Clan, the one who should carry honor and bring fortune to the family by marrying a wealthy heir. Their family strengthened its power and wealth by making ties with a much more powerful clan through arranged marriage. It was the duty of the eldest child of the current generation to be married off to another family. However, she was born with heterochromia. She had different eye colors.

KYLE POV We just arrived a week ago and now we are leaving again. Peggy was looking around their room, reminiscing her days with Jayden. I told her I would be bringing her and Caden to Flousia. Emily talked to me about it but my decision was final. I needed to teach Jayden a lesson. "Mommy, are you ready? Let's go!" I heard Caden exclaimed while pulling his mother's hand. She looked at her son and smiled. She crouched down and embraced him tight. "Mommy, you're sad because we will leave daddy." He said. She released him and stared into his eyes, holding his shoulders.
