"Brother!"Kendrick moved a few steps backward when he saw his brother, Lincoln, ran in his direction right when he arrived in the Imperial Palace. He was just about to greet his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother yet he already saw his enthusiastic brother running to him. This was the first time that he was this enthusiastic on his return.Well, of course, he knew what made his brother enthusiastic. It was to interrogate him about their cousin, Minerva.When Kendrick thought of her, a gentle smile swung on his lips. Minerva was truly adorable. He wished that he could spend more time with her. Unfortunately, his visit to Azenla was only for a short time.Nevertheless, he need not worry any longer since after a month, Uncle Santi will visit the Toen Empire with Minerva. And he knew that they would stay longer as Minerva was interested to know more about her mother, Aunt Kristina."Br

"Your Highness, were you excited?"Although Shirley asked about excitement towards her, Minerva could see that she was more excited than anyone else.Elise shook her head helplessly as she combed Minerva's hair to tie it into a twin low ponytail."Between you and Her Highness, it was obvious that you were the more excited one," Elise commented as she tied the yellow butterfly clip on Minerva's hair. It was the same clip that her Aunt Maureen gifted her.Shirley pouted her lips but still put on Minerva's brown boots."Elise, you're teasing me. Indeed, I was excited. But not to the point of exaggeration like what you said!"Elise scowled at her but didn't say anything. After she was done tying Minerva's hair, Elise placed the turquoise necklace on her neck."Princess, you were too pretty! This servant was sure that His Majesty Khalil would take back

As her father and the nobles left the throne room, only Minerva, her Uncle Khalil, and her Brother Kendrick remained. "Hello, my little angel. Come to Uncle." Minerva beamed at her Uncle Khalil and ran wobbly in his direction. "Uncwur!" Her Uncle Khalil caught her in his arms and he planted a kiss on her cheek. "How were you, baby? Your Uncle missed you." "Hehe." She flushed a little as she hugged his neck. "Minnie misshed Uncwur too!" Her Uncle Khalil patted her back as she smiled softly at her. "Let's go. Your Aunt Leticia wanted to meet you so badly. Ever since I mentioned you to her, she couldn't stop babbling about how she wanted to meet you." "Weally?" "Of course!" Her Uncle Khalil reaffirmed. She smiled at him and glanced at her Brother Kendrick.

Countess Vergara? Who was that? And why did she wanted to meet her?Uncle Khalil frowned at the attendant before he answered curtly."Tell the Countess that the Princess was tired from the travel."The attendant flinched but still bowed which made Uncle Khalil unhappy."T-the Countess also said that Her Highness couldn't be tired since His Grace would surely make sure that she'd be comfortable throughout the journey."Minerva unconsciously arched her left brow. Who was this Countess Vergara that she was this audacious to speak like that? She spoke as if she was ordering Minerva to meet her and there was no room for objections.Look, she even came up with that rebuttal even without hearing Uncle Khalil's response yet."What did she take for my daughter? Someone that she could meet every time she pleased? Go and tell her word by word that since she k

"She was such an intelligent child," Khalil said as he stared at Minerva's back.Santi crossed his arms and arched his left brow, "Of course, she would be. She's my daughter after all."Khalil scoffed, "She's also Kristina's child.""I know. That's why our daughter was this adorable and intelligent. The two of us had the greatest genes after all. Unlike someone. If not for his wife's genes, his sons could've suffered. His wife carried his bloodline.""You little piece of shit. You knew my sister's genes were the best yet you insulted me?""Of course! You know, up until now, I didn't know how you were Zariah's twin. I mean, you were ugly as hell."Khalil scoffed but didn't say anything. After a minute or two, he glanced to his right with his peripheral vision and smirked."He's gone?""Yeah."Santi narrowed his ey
