In the Raven Palace,"Princess, we are done" The stylists who came to get Valerie ready for the Coronation stepped aside and turned her to face the mirror. When Valerie saw her reflection in the mirror, she gasped with surprise. She is looking breathtaking. The dress Raphael gifted her has crystals embedded in the bodice, making it shine under the lights. Even though the dress is black, the silver lining under the dress is more prominent than the black color. The dress has Sheer transparent full sleeves. That combination gave an edge to her dress. Belatedly Valerie realized how smartly Raphael thought about her dress. The colors in her dress also represent her birth clan in a subtle but prominent way. She is now representing both clans with this dress. Usually, Royals prefer to wear colors that represent their respective clans during events like this. Her hair is pulled into a stylish mohawk in the front while the rest of the hair is cascading her back in stylish curls. Her stylist us

Irina is feeling really happy about her plan. She just started her plan. Wearing this cloak under which she is hiding her party wear is the first step of her plan. She noticed how scared Valerie was. She is feeling really happy to see how the Ernest princess is struggling to keep her composure intact.'This is only the beginning of my plan Valerie. By the end of this night, I will make everyone believe that you are weak and mentally unstable. Then let's see how the Raven clan would accept you as their queen ' Irina thought with glee. She saw Raphael whispering something in Valerie's ear. Instantly all the traces of fear vanished from Valerie's eyes. Her body language is screaming that she is relaxed. But Irina saw the slightest falter in her smile. Valerie made it a point to avoid looking at Irina.'Oh, Valerie, I know how to bring that fear back. You must be thinking that you are hiding your fear pretty well. But sadly, you were with me for the past eighteen years. No one here knows

Irina became pale.'Did he find out about my lab? ' she thought worriedly."Son? What are you saying? Do you think I can kill people?" she asked, still keeping up with her innocent act.Raphael gave her a death glare. He is not in the mood to entertain her nonsense anymore. He was fooled by her for a long time now. He refused to waste his time by speaking with her."Ya? But your lab is telling me another story altogether. You remember your lab right? The same lab which I burned down to the ground? The same place from where I rescued those innocent kids" he revealed.Irina felt like the ground under her feet is shaking violently. "What? Did you burn that lab?" she gasped with shock. For over a couple of weeks, she is trying to find Blake, the boss of the people who ruined her dream. But learning that Blake is none other than her son Raphael is like a bucket of ice-cold water on her head. She was so shocked that she forgot to keep up her innocent, 'I don't know anything act '.Her shoc

"Irina" she sneered with anger. Her fear is replaced with unhinged anger and hatred towards Irina.Valerie cannot seem to digest the fact that Irina is threatening Raphael. She can forgive being tormented by Irina, but she couldn't tolerate it if Irina decides to torment her mate. Valerie remembered everything she has gone through because of Irina. When suddenly Raphael's face popped instead of hers, she lost it. All of her fear is transformed into hate and anger. Her eyes turned into a dark shade of gold while her dragon demanded for control. Her body started shimmering with gold."Princess Valerie, you should not do anything in haste. I know you are upset, but remember it's Prince Raphael's coronation today. You should play your cards wisely. Be subtle like how Irina is being. She hid her true self from everyone around her. Everyone still thinks that she is a very good person and the best queen. They still love her. Every Raven is watching this ceremony from their homes as it is bro

"What? Forgive me your highness, but I cannot accept this. You are choosing her as your new queen? She is weak and pathetic. How can she rule the Raven clan alongside you? Why can't you pick me? I am better than her in every way" Tasha yelled angrily.Raphael is the least bit bothered to answer Tasha. Because he knows Valerie would not leave this chance to teach the spoiled Agnes princess a lesson in dignity and install some fear while she is at it. "Valerie is my blessed mate. No one will replace her. Not even you. When it comes to the question of her being weak, I will let my Queen give you the answer to that question, Princess Tasha" Raphael replied with a smirk. He squeezed Valerie's hand so that she could take over from there.Valerie took a step forward.'Give me control, I will shred her into pieces. This is a long time due. She has been a troublemaker for a long time now ' Laila hissed in her head.Valerie has a smirk on her face.'No Laila. I have to settle things with her a
