Liam sat in a boutique with tea served before him. His eyes saw the broken cane in his hand and felt so annoyed. His cane's handle was gone, and his body ached all over. He didn't want the man from the empire to see his weakness, so he immediately left. Luckily he still had the energy to reach the boutique near the city roundabout and rest here for a while. However, it was clear that he troubled the shopkeepers with his presence. It was a women's boutique, but he sat here shamelessly amid the other female customers. After gathering the energy to speak, Liam pointed to some long skirts and white blouses, as well as some jackets for women."Send it to Almandine Castle and collect the money under the Old Duke's name," Liam said flatly.The boutique employees shuddered to feel the presence of the only man in the place. He seemed to be in a very bad mood, but some of them recognized him as the man walking the streets this morning with a woman. Of course, they automatically want to know t

"What's the real reason you asked me to go home first?" asked Harriet.Liam blinked innocently at Harriet and gently teased her waist. "I told you I bought some surprises."Liam's answer only made Harriet suspicious."Okay. I just stopped by a boutique store and made an announcement. You love fashion and clothes. So I'm planning for Almandine to be the sponsor for the boutiques in this city who are in need of funding, and link them all to you when you want to create a particular fashion project," explained Liam.Harriet stopped her hand drying Liam's hair and widened her eyes. "Milord," Harriet didn't know what to say.Liam took Harriet's hand, which was still resting on his towel, and held it in front of him. "I know, I know. You're busy, and you don't have time. You probably won't have time to design anything either, but when you have time, in years or whenever it is use the facilities I've prepared from now on, just like what you did in the capital with your acquaintances," Liam

Crown Prince of Central Hyacinth, Heinrich, watched the atmosphere of the castle from the balcony of his room. Quiet and calm. Today in the morning, he had resumed discussions with the Old Duke and Heath Goldlane. And this was the third day he arrived at this place. The two of them knew he had to ensure his brother's safety, not allowing a single chance for his brother to climb onto the gallows. That was why they gave him one more offer. "We will let him live, but he will stay in our dungeon forever." Honestly, Heinrich didn't care. But he was sure his father, the King, would not approve of that. He must be able to bring his brother home safely no matter what. That was why, amidst the calm surface of Almandine castle, he had to find something he could use to mess this all up. His Aides had been ordered to gather information from inside and outside the castle, but the funny thing was, none of them could actually get hold of anything. Of course, there were some public secrets tha

Liam walked through the garden after returning the pregnant woman's medical notebook he borrowed from the best midwife in town. He had been going back and forth in the city, troubling several midwife clinics since morning. He jumped quickly and landed on the roofs of buildings, as usual, armed with such a good mood since last night. After that, he also decided to stop by to buy a bunch of flowers for his wife. He picked out a red tulip and carried it back into the castle through the side fence. He planned to walk straight to the garden where his wife and his two in-laws had lunch. While walking leisurely, he felt that even if his wife was not pregnant, he would not be disappointed. Even though Harriet wouldn't be able to get pregnant, and even if she wasn't his mate, Liam wouldn't blame anyone or feel sad. For him, Harriet was more than enough. Although of course, initially, he was willing to accept Harriet because he knew he had an obligation to carry on the clan's lineage. B

"I heard that the discussions between Crown Prince Hyacinth and the Old Duke were fierce. They insist on bringing our prisoners back to their kingdom without consequences," said a Lycan, who guarded the dungeon. He was used to discussing with his friend, another Lycan who was on guard with him. "Right, I heard it too. But Young Lord Goldlane and Old Duke also continued to insist on just killing this prisoner no matter what. Heheheh, if the Old Duke has decided something, it will eventually happen," said his friend. The prisoner they were talking about, whose face was covered with a black cloth sack and mouth bound with cloth, listened with sweaty bodies. His only remaining hand was chained to the wall, as were his legs. Julian Hyacinth was tired and depressed. "Ah, that's right. Yesterday Old Duke and Young Lord Goldlane made another offer. They will let this man live," said the Lycan, giving Julian who was listening, a new hope. "Well, but he has to stay here and be imprisoned
